So then, seize a percentage of their "potential money". To be used as collateral against debts, the same way they can. Maybe they will suddenly become interested in the national debt. Or maybe this excuse that Musk is cash poor, yet somehow able to buy and own something like twitter, just on his own whim, is an obvious scam.

Amusing to come across this post about "the left" celebrating deaths, right after Trump just did his "I'm glad he's dead" celebratory post.

That would be election fraud, that's entirely different than voter fraud. The case you linked isn't about ballots, it's the tabulated printouts. Replacing the printer output isn't enough. If it didn't match what the machine recorded, that's an obvious red flag. The ballots themselves would be recounted if demanded. It's not a realistic concern and is unrelated to the original topic of republicans wanting a new poll tax because they're too unpopular to win an election.

Once again, this seems to require a mass conspiracy among poll workers, and even if it were true, it would have to actually amount to anything. The things proposed to address this, like requiring a passport are blatantly obvious in their intent.

The site you linked said actual battery replacements are rare, so of course it's a crazy special-order price, not a market price. It's not a realistic thing to worry about.

As opposed to the republican conspiracy theories that the election was "stolen"? Or the conspiracy theory that individual voter fraud ever amounted to anything? Sorry, you must be gullible as crap if you think of the proposed measures are anything other than an attempt to have less people voting.

Do you actually use Twitter? Most of the advertisements are now for boner pills, gambling sites, and crypto scams. There's tons of hate speech and violent threats, reporting them gets ignored or removed only after several weeks. "blue check" accounts used to mean it was verified who they say they are, now it means a payment was made, making it trivial to impersonate anyone. "blue check" accounts constantly post rage bait and stolen content, in the hopes of getting monetized - a lot of them are people from India posing as Americans. The Grok LLM constantly losing it's shit because they're trying so hard to make the output fit Elon's views.

The site was never a paradise, but it's considerably worse than it used to be.

So, Bad Orange Man, as you say, fires a top appointee, now the new numbers are in, and your takeaway is these numbers are more credible? This is the same president who wanted to end the census early, and told us "alternative facts". It's hilarious to me that anyone could seriously think he actually wants accurate numbers on anything.

Or you could do it the hard way, and record it with an SNES emulator using the program shown here.
