    The GOP has decided that the attacker was a prostitute and Paul drunkenly attacked him. The 21st century is so cool I love it here.

      i saw a chud saying that there was a dispute over payment for sex or drugs or payment for drugs? and that's why paul didn't call the cops right away and also why paul was able to get his hands on the hammer before the police came. they also said that this was why the pelosis were refusing to release surveillance footage

        Lol.

        My best guess is that the guy had no intention of assassinating anyone. He broke in or talked his way in, more or less took Paul hostage, and at some point between Paul calling the cops and the cops opening the door the guy figured out Paul had called the cops and they started fighting.

        Because, like... If he actually intended to assassinate someone it's really easy to get a gun in America, or at least a knife. But apparently the only weapon involved was a hammer, and it's not even clear if he brought that or found it on site.

        But then who knows, the whole thing is wild.

          i mostly agree, but i do think he probably wanted to kill nancy. as for the gun thing, it's not as easy to get guns in SF - I don't think there is a single gun shop remaining in the city, and California has long waiting periods and background checks and stuff. it was probably a mostly spur of the moment plan that he hadn't spent more than a day or two thinking about, otherwise he probably would have waited until he knew that she would be there.

              another thing i just remembered: chuds have been talking about how hypocritical the pelosis are for having guns/ccw permits for years, he may have just thought he'd be able to get a gun on site

            having purchased a gun in California, it's ten days.

            and checking Google Maps, there seems to be a normal number of gun shops in SF.

      more than that cause a bunch of that money is debt that he'll have to pay back with interest. $44 billion is what the twitter shareholders got.

      From what I remember from my corporate finance class, he actually didn't spend all that much money personally. Instead Twitter itself provided something like 34 billion dollars for it's own takeover, which means that Twitter needs to spend something like a billion dollars every year just in interest payments.

    I hope he starts doing this with all tweets he disagrees with. Twitter should be a reflection of just how depraved and lonely Musk is. Like an emperor's tomb where he surrounds himself with a moat of mercury and has a bunch of fake soldiers to guard him. He'll scream louder into the void with diminishing returns and it might be the thing that uniquely breaks him.

      This is basically notch lol. After he became a billionaire he threw a bunch of parties with celebrities but ended up complaining on twitter about how lonely and depressed he was. Now his only friends seem to be online reactionaries he’s never met lol

        It's not a defence of Pelosi or anything, fuck them, it's just the Elon guy is clearly getting more and more unhinged

    https://t.co/rtKAoqaXMk mirror to his article

    It's been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist. "The lunatic who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi is a Berkeley resident and a 'Former Castro Nudist Protester' and hemp 'jewelry maker' ...sounds totally MAGA Republican to me. 🤣🤣" this from Twitter.

    Ok, so here's the theory, as related to me by a source: "Castro Nudists are a group of really radical gay male prostitutes that parade around naked with c--k rings. First of all, the Police did not come in response to an alarm. They come in response to a "wellness check". So someone called them to check on Pelosi."

    This shit is crazy

      Not sure how relevant this is but there’s a lot of pretty “normal” gay men who walk around Castro nude too (with like white sneakers and fanny packs) - or at least there used to be. I haven’t been there in a while. Sure there’s plenty that are “radical” - and that’s fine! - but this article is overplaying the stereotype

      It's really funny that he literally said he doesn't want the outcome I wrote about but is definitely going to contribute to it happening. I am going to jokerfy more and more as more and more things the left predicts end up correct.

    People are really talking about Elon “bringing Trump back” like he had been banished to the shadow realm and now through dark ritual may return to our plane of existence

      If they reinstate his account and none of the posts were deleted and he gets all his followers and stats back, you’ll know twitter banning him was never for real

        They never actually delete things. Unless it’s Illegal EVERYWHERE.

      Elon bought twitter because they secretly hid the heart of the cards in its source code

    Ahahaaaaaaa. I like how he is even more online now than ever. I guess this will be good for Tesla, since his presence there just makes them build non-existing products.

    Also lol at some anime profile pic on twitter saying that they're moving to Tanzania if Trump comes back. Lmao

    If Elon Musk takes over Twitter and brings Donald Trump back, I will be leaving this country. I got my passport last week when I heard he might buy Twitter. Instead I’ll be moving to A CIVILIZED COUNTRY, the gorgeous TANZANIA ! So long, America! You’ve just lost a citizen

    This better be an elaborate role play or something

        Yeah, like twitter is actually pretty popular in Africa. South African twitter is always going on about stuff. Network providers even have special data bundles with extra or unlimited data for twitter
