Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I suspect that the damage (for the most part) has already been done.
more than likely. the backdoors installed, all the data copied.
Yup..one the back doors are installed they can fire musk for publicity. It doesn't matter
Even if they don't do things to disrupt, they could use all the data they pirated in the same bullshit way they did the "Twitter Files" (and fuck Matt Taibbi for that - leftist, my ass) to a credulous bunch of right-wing dumbasses again as an excuse for why they carried out their hacking activities/biggest data breach on America and Americans.
World's most powerful military, biggest most far reaching and all intrusive global security organization, all seeing, all knowing, all capable ... and all it took to undo it all was an unelected billionaire and six unqualified, unsecured, inexperienced young men with computers.
And a fuckton of dumbass voters
the truth at the center of every political ideology is that every human organization is a coagulation of trust. the politics we engage in are simply about getting the most power to the most trust worthy people. personally i'm of the view that this means power should be distributed to the populace, make of that what you will. but this has always been possible. the only thing preventing it was keeping untrustworthy people away from power. we failed this election to do that. it is what it is. now we have to start coalition building all over from the start, so we will.
so bear the following in mind: any decision that affects more than two people is political. relationships are political. everything you do and say is propaganda. so build strong relationships. support people because strong people support people. reduce the harm that this system does to the people you support because hurt people hurt people. building a better future starts at home.
America is dying with a whimper
