lol Musk dumped triple this in PA on a whim.

After all, $60,000,000 to Musk is what spending $20 is to someone making 100k.

$25 million doesn't seem like enough, is it?

It's off by at least one order of magnitude.

It was enough to get Neesom's name in the news, and he hasn't even raised the money yet.

An Airbus A380 jet plane costs half a billion dollars.

So Newsom's fund couldn't even buy even one of the largest passenger jets that would be needed to get all of the people threatened by Trump to safety.

ITT: we should make fun of this because it isn't good enough to solve the Trump problem entirely.

Wonder who wants to sow hopelessness? Any takers?

Just litter the state with Russian hookers that aren't his wife and a few well used La-Z-Boy sofas just in case Vance comes along too. That should stop them both.

Liberal SOP, bring a knife to a gunfight.

It's all about the headlines and not about actually following through or seeing results.

Pretty sure he's hoping he's not the only one.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It's a start.

it won't matter when the republicants of the next congress go nuclear and nix the filibuster for this session so they can seat all these nutjobs being named as nominees and ram the bulk of project 2025 and any other bullshit they can come up with through to the sharpie. federal law overrides state laws and constitutions where and when they conflict, and we already know that donvict's scotus likes to shit on the constitution.
