Summary

Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are pushing to classify vandalism against Tesla as domestic terrorism.

Trump declared that those damaging Tesla dealerships would face terrorism charges, calling the company “a great American company.”

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others urged the FBI and Attorney General to investigate alleged Democrat-linked NGOs behind Tesla attacks, though no evidence was provided.

Greene may have violated House ethics rules by advocating for Tesla while owning its stock.

    There is a lot of shit people aren’t doing because they don’t want to cross the line and become domestic terrorists. You do NOT want to move that line over them.

      Torching and destroying cars and dealerships isnt the same as some critical speech… The title is just a complete clickbait fabrication…

        Torching and destroying cars is already illegal. No reason to designate it as domestic terrorism.

          If they are considered terrorists, it is easier for MAGA to justify sending them to the concentration camps in Guantanamo or El Salvador.

            Is that the second one, with the 3rd trying to be in Costa Rica? I knew they were moving people to a more wooded area but I didn’t know where in central/south America it was.

        If someone can’t say that Israel is wiping innocent lives off their homeland in a fashion that can only be described as a genocide without it being deemed illegal and grounds for a criminal offense and/or other punishments, freedom of speech does not exist. It is in no way anti semitism. Israel is a state, not a religion. Long before Israel was paying politicians in the U.S. for their states best interests whether for the good of humanity or not, Jewish people existed, and long after the U.S. and Israel are gone, Judiasm will likely be here. Judiasm isn’t asking them to murder children, politicians are ordering it.

      They’ve been waging war on words for years now. Keep using them improperly until they don’t have any meaning left. So… totally on brand

    2A supporters are just a bunch of cucks and cowards. They just want their guns to “Ali Wong” themselves and not protect anything.

    “Who is behind it? Who is funding it? Is there a link with Democrat-leaning NGOs [non-governmental organizations]?” Greene wrote Wednesday on X, hinting at some kind of nefarious conspiracy.

    Have you considering the 2 million or so federal workers who were fired thanks to DOGE with Musks face plastered all over it? Pretty big axe to grind there.

    Fucking jackasses.

    Such big man babies, they are going to make it illegal to not like them??? There is not a word in the English language that describes how baby, child like and immature this behavior is. I think we shall call it being musk. They are being extremely musky about this.

    “terrorist” has been so overused it no longer means much of anything. Like so many other words.
