@Mlobbes We live in the #AgeOfImpunity.
We are in, and have been some time, an #AgeofImpunity. Normally revolutions follow such periods.

Elon Musk’s Attacks on a Las Vegas Reporter are a New Low in His Thuggery

The X man fired up his fans (bigots and trolls) to smear a reporter and a newspaper over their accurate and responsible reporting.

@alfredo_liberal Doesn't matter. The judges in Florida have pledged fealty to him. Case would not make it out of the state.

@shawnwegner Or they want publicity around the time his most challenging primary opponent announces his bid for president. It seems we in the public are always waiting and hoping for justice, but the weak promise of justice is only used to generate publicity and clicks.
