If you look at the video, it's not subtle, it's very intentional and forceful. He knew what he was doing

Probably, but he needs someone in his ear saying it's a really really bad idea. After the hat controversy I'm guessing he figures he has fu money and just doesn't care.
He really is a Bond villian.
he was reading the room. That’s what the people there want.
Hate to say I told ya so but…..

They cheered it so must have been happy.
That's a good point.
The same people were trying to murder his VP 4 years ago so what's a little white supremacy this time around.
Gonna be a real kick in the cherries for them when Elon and his cabinet invoke the 25th in a year to give Vance a shot at running for reelection twice.
"But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.
And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way."

When you stormed the capitol 4 years ago, what did you bring home as a souvenir?
Trump issued 237 pardons in his first term. Biden is up to…..wait for it…..8,064 pardons before today.
There are only so many people wealthy enough to buy Trump off.

musk did not give an awkward gesture, unless you call a nazi salute an awkward gesture...trump does not put his hand on the bible during oath (not against the law, but seems quite strange given his Christian status...
sooooo, what do the republicans on this message board think of both of these?!
