Summary

Elon Musk handed out $1 million to a voter to boost Republican support in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, backing GOP candidate Brad Schimel against Democrat Susan Crawford.

The donation is part of Musk’s America PAC efforts to flip the court and counter “activist judges.”

Musk has invested over $20 million in Schimel’s campaign, with more surprise donations promised before the April 1 election.

The race is seen as a pivotal political battle, while Tesla faces legal challenges in Wisconsin over direct car sales.

    Biden was a decent governmental manager, but we needed a President who was courageous enough to be more than that, and go after the existential threat of MAGA. HitlerPig and MAGA are the biggest national security threat this nation has seen since the Civil War, and Biden let us down by appointing not only a REPUBLICAN to be AG, but about the weakest Republican in existence. Then Biden didn’t push him to aggressively pursue HitlerPig, giving him a two year head start to run out the clock.

      Yeah, Biden’s term was simply quiet. For the most part, the government ran properly and things didn’t break. But he also refused to actually spur the DOJ into action, because he didn’t want it to be seen as a frivolous witch hunt. He was more focused on keeping the peace than he was on actually protecting the country from domestic threats.

        I’ll still vote for Democrats because at least they aren’t Traitors, actively trying to destroy America.

        If you feel a bicycle is too underpowered, you don’t stop using it, and start using a really dangerous, hillbilly-engineered backyard vehicle built by a bunch of ignorant yahoos, which regularly blows up, killing its occupants. You keep using the slower, safer bicycle until you can find a better option.

      A decent government manager would not let the integrity of the government fall apart on their watch. They wouldn’t let election fraud go.

      Biden is a useless piece of shit at best.
