Musk: Demoncratic party highjacked by extremists

Not for anything but when did Elon Musk become a cognoscenti…
 
Musk is correct, and it's for the same reasons I'm now an independent. I've been a Democrat sine the 80's.

I also voted for Obama - but only the first time. After I realized his Hope and Change was a lie, plus he made the Queen Bee SecState.

The whole brouhaha over the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill and BBB in the House proved he's right. The Prog Squad endangered an important piece of legislation and Nutty Nancy didn't tell them to knock it off and Biden didn't object to the inter-party act of sabotage of his only potential post-election victory at the time.
 
And just like that, Musk became their greatest hero.

It's been on the back burner, many of us hadn't noticed because we are not irresistibly attracted to authority.
This is one foul, "kettle of fish"!

HAHA the kids baking show she hosts is only about them making sweet things. Be careful using it to help you. You may balloon up to Trump level obesity too soon.

I went to see her son Wolfgang play recently. If was a great show, but I couldn't help feeling old as his mom was definitely my first crush.
 
Has never thought Musk was very bright.
He looks at the how far Republicans have skewed to the authoritarian far right and he thnks Democrats are the extremist?
Like I said, Musk is not real bright.

Laughably false. Universal healthcare is not remotely extremist and you can't even get enough democrats to vote on that. What "extremist" position do right wingers imagine has been implemented, anywhere in the country?

Show me the "extremist" items you think they were demanding?
 
Which party has been hijacked by extremists and the uniformed?

By challenging the federal government the Republican Party is attacking our Constitution and along with it American democracy as a whole while embracing autocracy.

The Republican Party is expected to win control of Congress in November.

A Republican President lost reelection in November 2020 then led a coup attempt on Jan. 6, 2021, designed to overthrow the elected government.

147 Republican members of Congress voted to reject the Constitution mandated Electoral College results and the votes cast by the American people.

Republican state governments wish to control what is taught to our children, particularly when it comes to sex and race. They subjugate education professionals as in the case of teachers, principals, and superintendents.

The Republican Party wishes to control the health decisions made by women in consultation with their doctors. By doing so the Republican Party is in violation of the Supremacy Clause of our Constitution which "establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it, and treaties made under its authority, constitute the "supreme Law of the Land", and thus take priority over any conflicting state laws."

ABC reports, "The Oklahoma House gave final approval on Thursday to a Texas-style abortion ban that prohibits the procedure after about six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. The bill approved by the GOP-led House on a 68-12 vote without discussion or debate now heads to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is expected to sign it within days."

This bill and others like it that have been passed by Republican state governments are in direct conflict with the Supreme Court. In essence, the Republican Party is directly challenging the sanctity of our federal government.

In Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey the Supreme Court has ruled on the right of abortion. The court ruled that the decision was to be made by the woman, not the state.

Despite leading an attempt to overthrow our elected government as President, Donald Trump today is the recognized leader of the Republican Party, and countless Republicans -- many already in government -- are seeking his endorsement. Trump is the leading Republican candidate for the Presidency in 2024.

That says it all for the Republican Party.

It is unlikely that forum Republicans will respond to the issues of this post. How do we know something is seriously wrong? The complete silence by Republicans on the issues although they are good at personal attacks on those who tell the truth.

Republicans do not talk about their party.

The law benefits big corporations that they can silence journalists, NGO:s and private citizens with the threat of law suits. Especially since those sued by multibillion can be forced to pay their own legal fees even if they won. That for example had HBO to pay 200 000 dollars in legal fees even if they won the case between Murray Energy and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Money rich HBO have but not for example small local newspapers or citizens speaking out against big corporations.

Let's see...if i recall correctly, some Dems tried to smuggle immigration "reform" in the BBB at least twice.

Then we have the House Progs threatening not to hold a vote on the Bipar. Infra. Deal unless their precious BBB hamhock was voted on first...and THEN they wanted it merged to the BID

You put "reform" in scarequotes and then fail to identify anything extreme.

Who are the Trump's, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, the Madison Cawthorne's, the Lauren Boebert's among the democrats? AOC is the natural selection of the right, an outspoken minority female who fits their paranoid approach, but she is no more radical than the average Brit Labor Party member.
