I hope the very first thing the next Democratic president does is immediately open up an immigration case against Musk the same way that they're doing with Omar.

The difference of course is that Musk is legitimately guilty of immigration fraud. Denaturalization and a ban from stepping foot in the country again would be absolutely fantastic and a well deserved consequence of his actions.

Dems don't have balls. Too scaredy cats. They love money just as much as Republicans do.

Zuckerberg poured 500M into Democrat campaigns during the last administrative. Can someone please link to the CNBC article with outrage?

Can you link to a reference for this?

You're asking for a link, from someone asking for a link.. how do you see that working?

He's quite obviously asking for a source re: Zuckerberg donating $500m, whereas the GP is specifically decrying the lack of coverage on one specific network/site.

Here's an analysis from the Associated Press, which suggests you're information is not quite right: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-mark-zuckerberg-ele...

Instead of mindlessly watching Fox News, you could learn to read, it is a very useful skill.

"Zuckerberg didn’t donate to Biden’s 2020 campaign, federal campaign finance records show.

He and his wife donated at least $400 million to two nonprofit organizations which distributed grants to state and local governments to help them conduct the 2020 election during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The donations came at a time when election offices were trying to transition to mail voting.

The money helped pay for material and services such as equipment to process mail ballots, protective equipment to curb the spread of the coronavirus, and drive-thru voting locations, The Associated Press reported.

The Center for Tech and Civic Life, a Chicago-based nonprofit, received and distributed the bulk of the money.

The Center for Election Innovation and Research, which is based in Washington, also issued grants."

Hundreds of millions in grants to states to help conduct elections after being disrupted by covid and hundreds of millions to pay for ads saying that Talerico will take your kid away and forcibly transition them are two different things.
