Who cares about nitTwit or a nitTwit poll anyway?
But people need to vote in that poll, not that Trump will ever post again there. But it shows that Elon musk twitter followers may drive a electric car or are a tesla/SpaceX fan but doesnt mean all are liberal or left including Elon himself.

Meanwhile the left have summoned the bots.

We need to fight fire with fire.

Once again, the fear of the Left. Once Trump announced that he is running in 2024, here come the Jackasses...

There were a lot of conservatives that jumped off Twitter long ago though. I am sure some have gone back now but some will probably not.

  • Judge Reggie Walton previously said Trump cares only about power — not democracy.
  • Walton made the comment as he sentenced a Capitol rioter who blamed Trump for January 6.
  • The rioter, Dustin Thompson, was sentenced to three years in federal prison.
A federal judge on Friday appeared to draw a comparison between Nazi Germany and the period leading up to January 6, 2021 — in which former President Donald Trump and his allies falsely claimed the election had been stolen — saying that both involved large swaths of the public being swayed by a "demagogue."

Judge Reggie Walton made the remark at the sentencing of Dustin Thompson, a Capitol rioter who blamed Trump for his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. As he sentenced Thompson to 3 years in prison, Walton said he was struck that the college-educated Capitol rioter fell into a self-described "rabbit hole" of conspiracy theories and came to believe false claims — spread by Trump and his political allies — that the 2020 election had been stolen.

"It makes for a very difficult situation because I'm not unsympathetic to people being radicalized to engage in abhorrent behavior. We saw it happen in Nazi Germany — a very educated, intelligent population was able to be swayed to engage in the atrocities that took place in Germany based upon a demagogue," Walton said.

"It seems to me you bought into that same type of mentality," the judge added, before saying it was "utterly scary" that many are "still buying a lie."

It was not the first time in Thompson's case that Walton rebuked Trump over his efforts to lead supports into believing the 2020 election was stolen. In April, shortly after a jury found Thompson guilty, Walton expressed concerns about the future of American democracy and had harsh words for Trump.

"I think our democracy is in trouble because, unfortunately, we have charlatans like our former president, who doesn't, in my view, really care about democracy but only about power," Walton said. "And as a result of that, it's tearing this country apart."

Whiney little bitch:

A furious Donald Trump unloaded Friday on Fox News over the appointment of a special counsel to investigate his activities.
The former president vowed he “won’t partake” in any investigation conducted by the special counsel and slammed the appointment as “the worst politicization of justice in our country.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel Friday to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation into classified documents stashed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence that had been transported there from the White House at the end of Trump’s term.
The special counsel — former Justice Department official Jack Smith — will also supervise the continuing probe into Trump’s role in last year’s Jan. 6 insurrection and efforts to toss out the results of the presidential election.
“I have been going through this for six years ... and I am not going to go through it anymore,” the former president told Fox News Digital, referring to various investigations.
“I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this,” added Trump, who just announced Tuesday that he’s launching yet another bid for the presidency.
He falsely claimed he has been found innocent “on everything” in all investigations over the last six years.
The naming of the special counsel is “not acceptable,” Trump added. “It is so unfair. It is so political.”
He vowed: “I am not going to partake in it. I’m not going to partake in this.”
Trump insisted: “I have never heard of such a thing ... They found nothing, and now they take some guy who hates Trump. This is a disgrace and only happening because I am leading in every poll in both parties.”
He’s not leading in every poll in both parties.
“It is not even believable that they’re allowed to do this,” Trump added. “This is the worst politicization of justice in our country.”
Several sources have said a key driver in Trump’s announcement that he is running for the GOP presidential nomination was to dodge federal indictments. He reportedly expected officials to be reticent to push the prosecution of a presidential candidate. But that isn’t turning out to be a surefire strategy.
The newly appointed special counsel is a former assistant U.S. attorney and former chief of the public integrity section of the Department of Justice. Since 2018, Smith has been a prosecutor with the International Criminal Court investigating war crimes in Kosovo.
Looks like the Special Prosecutor has the appropriate background for this one...considering the ties to Moscow.
