    Okay, he's a killer.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Elon is being shady with the platform formerly known as twitter


        White Dudes for Harris, a pop-up group backing VP Kamala Harris’ bid to defeat Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election that features some notable Hollywood white guys, said Elon Musk’s X had suspended its account — right after it hosted a YouTube livestream that raised more than $4 million for the Harris campaign

        Mike Nellis, founder/CEO of digital advertising firm Authentic, who is one of the organizers of White Dudes for Harris, wrote in a post Monday evening that X notified the group its account was suspended for “Violating our rules against evading suspension.”



        “We scared @elonmusk and @DonaldJTrumpJr so much tonight they suspended our account and won’t let us back in,” Nellis wrote. “These guys are running scared of the success we’ve had tonight, but we’re not going to quit.” In a follow-up posted, he added, “I ask this question seriously… are we the first white dudes to ever get suspended by @elonmusk’s Twitter? I think we are.”

        In an update Tuesday morning, Nellis wrote that “Our tweets are back (@dudes4harris) but our account remains suspended and according to Twitter our account is ‘permanently in read-only mode.’”



        Reposting parody deepfakes and removing labels indicating that's what they are is also pretty scummy.

        Musk, meanwhile, has not made a secret of his opposition to Harris. On Friday, July 26, Musk shared a deepfake video that altered a recent Harris campaign video, which featured Harris saying she was “the ultimate diversity hire” and that she “had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate deep-state puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden.” The original account that posted the video labeled it a “parody,” but Musk’s postsimply was captioned “This is amazing,” with a crying-laughing emoji.

        • Go check out any thread on X involving Josh Shapiro where the thread is started by someone on the left and skim through the replies. It is shocking how anti-Semitic the Democratic Party is right now. Grrr…

              This is a stupid scandal. What parent hasn’t thought similar things when a kid is interrupting something important?

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                  • I think this is a pretty well thought out piece that explains how Harris can and probably will beat Trump. Whether it happens we'll see, but it makes some great points even while taking some of Harris' weaknesses into account. It's easy to play those up (as if Trump doesn't have a boatload of his own), but the change from Biden to her has introduced a lot of things to the campaign that the Trump side is really struggling with knowing how to respond to. The goofy middle school name-calling, the obsession with the dems nomination process, talking about her ethnicity...none of this is landing even a little with the part of the electorate that is still persuadeable. But that is what makes Ted's posts from inside the maga echo chamber that much more entertaining. These were my comments, not really in the article. I thought it was an interesting take.

                          Looking into this more, it's pretty sinister. The site visitor could enter their zip code and if it was a non battle ground state they would redirected to the states voter reg site. If they were in a battle ground state they were sent to an imposter sign up form where they entered valuable personal details that can be used to who know what. They also left with the impression that they registered to vote. A phishing site essentially.

                          For all the bitching about election integrity, the right should want to stop this rather than perpetuate this. But Elon has shown us who he is.

                          He is going to continue using X to engage in propagandizing and political inforareware. I'm sure more will continue to come out.

                            Best thing for him would've been to not weld his identify to the slaying. Instead it became his identity and how he made a living. It was celebrity. He essentially went on tour with podcasters and right wing influencers. Even if you think what happened was justified, it's a not a recipe for moving forward.

                            Being acquitted of the homicide shouldn't be his career. And it has been.

                              I guess Maduro is a democrat.
                              Democrat didn't get the memo to support Maduro. They are calling him for losing the election.



                              "The United States has said “it is clear” that President Nicolas Maduro lost the popular vote in Venezuela’s election last week, as a key opposition leader said she is in hiding in fear for her life.

                              “Given the overwhelming evidence, it is clear to the United States and, most importantly, to the Venezuelan people that Edmundo González Urrutia won the most votes in Venezuela’s July 28 presidential election,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.

                              “In addition, the United States rejects Maduro’s unsubstantiated allegations against opposition leaders. Maduro and his representatives’ threats to arrest opposition leaders, including Edmundo González and María Corina Machado, are an undemocratic attempt to repress political participation and retain power,” Blinken added.
