      How long will the US Last after the wrong candidate is elected? 2-3 years? They can't destroy the nation overnight, right? I mean it's gotta take some time before they let their favorite outside and inside forces tear our democratic republic apart, right???

          Russian Oligarchs’ Investments in Elon Musk’s X Raise Questions About Potential Putin Connections


          Elon Musk faces questions about his ties to two Russian oligarchs after a court document revealed investors in the billionaire’s acquisition of Twitter, now X.

          The reveal came after a federal court forced Musk to disclose shareholders for X as part of the ongoing legal battle with former Twitter employees claiming Musk violated their arbitration agreements by withholding certain payments after he bought the social media platform for $44 billion. Disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and Silicon Valley investors including Larry Ellison, Marc Andreessen and Bill Ackman were also named as early investors in the acquisition.

          Among the investors, venture capital firm 8VC is drawing criticism for its ties to Denis Aven and Jack Moszkowicz, the sons of Russian oligarchs Petr Aven and Vadim Moszkowicz. Both have strong political and economic ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Both men have also been subject to Western sanctionsdue to their associations with the Kremlin amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

            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."

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                Why? We're going to find so much money from Elon's efficiency efforts that we'll be able to fund that and IVF FOR EVERYONE!

                      Sure, that's real believable. Harris who supports Ukraine.

                        Ted he trolling and sarcastic:



                        "Our favorite, if you can call it that, was the current president Mr. Biden,” Putin said, with a smirk.

                        “He was removed from the race, but he recommended that all his supporters support Ms. Harris. That’s what we’ll do too,” he said, according to a translation from Russian media outlet TASS.

                        He appeared to continue to mock Harris, adding: "She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her”. The autocrat also said he hoped that means she would not introduce sanctions against Russia."


                        On Wednesday, the United States unsealed an indictment accusing Russia of attempting to influence the outcome of the 2024 presidential election

                          So all those illegal Russian and Chinese immigrants (aka, Putin's allies) that Grandpa Joe let walked across the board will be voting for Harris... especially given that Arizona won't be removing them from the voter roles:

                            This is a great new tactic by the right (). Blame their attempts to restrict voter access on democrats by concocting a complicated cover story how AZ is overrun with communist chinese and russian Harris-lovers, and not just poor brown people from central and south america.
