    I don't really understand this tweet and will absolutely not plumb the @Os Trigonum depths for the context - but Republicans declaring a victory lap after (random extended right wing universe thing) and mass shooting/LGBTQ massacre is extremely on brand!

    Reporter jumped the gun on treating the mass shooting in Colorado Springs as if it was a hate crime so that he could blame it on the anti-LGBTQ rhetoric coming from Republicans.

    If I'm not mistaken wasn't the suspect reportedly charged with hate crimes?

    Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, faces five counts of first-degree murder as well as five counts of bias-motivated crimes causing bodily injury, according to court records obtained by KKTV and the Colorado Springs Gazette.

    I think the charges are preliminary at this point and formal charges haven’t yet been filed. Investigation of motive is still underway.

    I know but, the guy you're quoting is bragging about local reporting blah blah and

    according to court records obtained by KKTV and the Colorado Springs Gazette.
    Seems local!

    I guess my larger point is that the common MO of the @Os Trigonum of the world is to seize on any possible mistake and treat it like the permanent reality-warping bad faith of the Federalist - Breitbart ecosystem

    Seems kinda basic

    I'm sure the point you're making makes sense to you

    Twitter is basically Facebook for young boomers. It is for old people now. Who am I to give financial advice to the single wealthiest man in the world. I have to think deep down he knows he over paid for Twitter. He complains about how inefficient and bloated it is and how entitled the employees are that he inherited… but those same employees helped get the company to the point where Musk paid tens of billions of dollars for Twitter- so the leadership and employees did something right or he vastly over paid- it has to be one of the two.

    True, but I think Elon has bigger plans for twitter than just fixing the current product, he wants to evolve it.

    This is an odd comparison.

    I expect some outrage to come if SBF is not thrown in jail though most only care about their checkbooks. Apathetic SBF Dems been havin fun staying poor?

    SBF stole it from the people and gave it to the Dems.
    Elon took away one of the Dems' favourite tools to control the messaging, and gave it back to the people.

    So it's pretty clear why Elon annoys the Dems more.

    You're saying the political contributions he made were from stolen funds? We know that for sure, now?
