"Susan Crawford elected to Wisconsin Supreme Court..."

"...cementing 4-3 liberal majority. Backers painted Crawford's victory as a resounding defeat for President Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk, who showered more than $20 million on her opponent."

 


Elon tried with his million dollar bribes to buy a win in the Wisconsin election. He failed.







The Wisconsin election is a substantial victory for the liberal candidate in Wisconsin — a state Trump won in November.


Democrats recently flipped Republican-held state legislative seats in special elections in Iowa and Pennsylvania. In Louisiana on Saturday, voters rejected four proposed constitutional amendments backed by the Republican governor, Jeff Landry.


Kudos to the people of Wisconsin. I only wish the midterms were closer because the carnage will continue. Trump's lie of "a dictator for only one day" gets lost among his many other lies. 

Retribution is happening through every sector of society, public and private. So good, let's enjoy a victory. But please contact your representatives. 

Protest and push back through every legal means possible. Don't be cowed into silence. If it hasn't already, Trump's lunacy will eventually find you.

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite.

REP. BRYAN STEIL (R-WI): It shouldn't be lost on your viewers that George Soros has poured millions of dollars in

BOLDUAN: I looked up the numbers. Soros has donated $2 million. By comparison, Elon Musk has donated more than $19 million.

Crawford won decisively! Elon's billions did not matter!

Shaw... re the Rupar tweet... I'm not sure I remember Soros paying people for votes, but maybe I missed it.

"“All Voters who believe in Common Sense should GET OUT TO VOTE EARLY for Brad Schimel,” Trump wrote." The Common Sense vote went for Crawford. The new judge grew up in Chippewa Falls. So did my wife. We are still trying to get her feet back on the ground!

Crawford didn't beat a noob. Instead, she crushed a former GOP Atty Gen in a swing state by 10 points.

I guess the idea of outwardly buying votes, massive outside influence and the divisive policies of Pres Trump has had a negative impact on the over the top MAGA movement.

Neither the "man"with the Chainsaw OR Soros should be allowed to attempt to buy am election. Or anyone else for that matter.

Nothing is truly going to change until money is out of politics. And that ain't gonna happen in this country. EVER.

When the Orange Asshole mentioned retribution the SOB wasn't just talking about political opponents. He meant the entire country.

And yet there are idiots that fail to recognize that fact.

He shut down the Voice of America, which has been beaming the story of democracy for over 80 years. Now the huddled masses will listen to
The Trump Propaganda Hour and learn how Biden caused WWII and Orange Man invented peanut butter freed the slaves and and will add a dozen new states to the US. - and 35% of Americans will be glued to their radios in rapt
loyal asininity to his grade school eloquence.

Harris proved that in 2024. Billion dollars spent and lost. Maybe it is about the candidate instead of the payoff.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Elon's been singing "Can't Buy Me Votes" all day!

I bought you a brand new Tesla t'get you t'vote on the Right
I gave you lots of money t'make you vote on the Right
I thought you cared so much for money
But money couldn't buy me votes

Can't buy me vo-otes
Everybody tells me so
Can't buy me vo-otes
No no no, no!

BB, He may have shut down the voice of America but I do wish he would shut down the voice of trump. We went from biden who mumbled his few speeches a year to trump who goes on and on about how fabulous and wonderful everything is.
He can drone on as much as harris but at least he has something to say he just talks so much you forget the topic. I didn't realize biden caused WWll but I did know trump freed the slaves.

Again skudsy dances around that which matters most. Taking only about how one speaks with a stutter and others ramble on with nothing to say. Except the Orange Marmalade Guy.

You're a joke skud. You fully support a raving mad authoritarian who cares for no one but himself and is without a clue as to how treat people or govern.

YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM cause you sure as hell are NOT part of the solution.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that trump today said musk would be going back to run his companies soon?! America will heave a collective sigh of relief 😮‍💨

Whenever I see a picture of the FOTUS and Musk my brain leaps into a rousing rendition of Dueling Banjos played by bagpipes. It could just be me though.

Lot's of angst from the MAGA-verse. The laments of my enemies gives me energy to continue.

As it's been said this battle is no longer between Left and Right but Lawful and Unlawful, Correct and Incorrect, Constitutional and Unconstitutional. I'm aiming to continue to cause Good Trouble.
