Summary

Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are pushing to classify vandalism against Tesla as domestic terrorism.

Trump declared that those damaging Tesla dealerships would face terrorism charges, calling the company “a great American company.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others urged the FBI and Attorney General to investigate alleged Democrat-linked NGOs behind Tesla attacks, though no evidence was provided.

Greene may have violated House ethics rules by advocating for Tesla while owning its stock.

    What a bunch of snowflakes. What’s wrong? Are we hurting his feelings? The richest douchebag, who doesn’t know what he’s doing, with his head is so far up his own ass I’m sure he can taste it, doesn’t like being called what he is? 🎻

    Fuck him. I have no pity for fascists. 🖕🏾

    only to end up in a country that is also about to make criticizing leaders illegal.

    Just… wow

      Come to UK / Europe. We’ve got universal healthcare and more robust democracy and many centurys long tradition of criticising and mocking our leaders.

      Torching and destroying cars and dealerships isnt the same as some critical speech… The title is just a complete clickbait fabrication…

        If someone can’t say that Israel is wiping innocent lives off their homeland in a fashion that can only be described as a genocide without it being deemed illegal and grounds for a criminal offense and/or other punishments, freedom of speech does not exist. It is in no way anti semitism. Israel is a state, not a religion. Long before Israel was paying politicians in the U.S. for their states best interests whether for the good of humanity or not, Jewish people existed, and long after the U.S. and Israel are gone, Judiasm will likely be here. Judiasm isn’t asking them to murder children, politicians are ordering it.

        Torching and destroying cars is already illegal. No reason to designate it as domestic terrorism.

          If they are considered terrorists, it is easier for MAGA to justify sending them to the concentration camps in Guantanamo or El Salvador.

    What about Vandalism against other car dealers. That’s also domestic terrorism, right?

    Republicans are something society needs to leave behind in full. They literally don’t stand for anything and are net negative for society.

      The destruction of the mainstream conservative media by companies like NewsCorp have yielded great results for right wing authoritarians.

        This is the only hope for America not to fall, if Trump and Musk also screw the elites too much there will be much more likely a revolution.

    Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.

      They’ve been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don’t have any meaning left. So… totally on brand

    So, the land of freedom is now trying to tell people what emotions they can feel? Against the guy who’s supposed to be a free speech absolutist?

    “You can say whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t upset me.”

    The hypocrisy is unbelievable. You’d think they’d at least avoid making themselves look like complete fools, try to hide it a little?

      And decided by the guy who started the birther conspiracy, feeds the pedo conspiracy (while openly being one), and told the world that his Presidential rival “turned black”.

      Fuck Trump and Musk, they both seem to be real musky about being called out for being awful humans. Trump should probably be more concerned with what JD is doing to the White House furniture, going to have to get plastic sheets to cover them all.

      That’d require the ability to feel shame. These dipshits are proud of their ignorance.
