Wasn't sure where to put this, but we need a thread for the wing nuts. Lauren Boebert.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) is circulating a petitionfor his supporters to sign to deport a fellow member of Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

Gil had previously called on Omar to be deported, arguing she is more loyal to undocumented immigrants in the United States from her native Somalia than to the United States.

The petition and an email circulated by Gill were first reported by Axios.

Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 after fleeing her native country due to civil war. The Minnesota representative has been the target of Republican insults following her staunch criticism of President Trump during his first administration.

“Friend, we should have never let Ilhan Omar into our country. And frankly, America would be a much better place if she were to be sent back to Somalia,” Gill wrote in the email which included a picture of him next to President Trump. As in the past, he criticized Omar for discussing how to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

“Recently, it came out that Ilhan Omar is hosting free workshops for Somalians, who are in our country illegally, on how to evade ICE and deportation. It could not be more blatant: Ilhan Omar is more loyal to illegal Somalians than she is to the United States, or the office she was elected to,” he added.…….

He refused to extend Starlink coverage beyond the current war zone to cover Crimea and the Black Sea. Seems like it would be a request that should have been approved and made by the U.S. government. He didn’t shut anything down.

Elon Musk says he denied Ukraine satellite request to avoid complicity in "major act of war" vs. Russia

The tech billionaire says he denied an "urgent" request from Ukraine to extend Starlink satellite coverage, to avoid complicity in a "major act of war."

Musk has taken up the position of being a nation-state.

It wasn’t his decision to make, and how do you know the US government hadn’t approved it? You don’t. He most certainly did shut down systems, they were working and then they quit. The article headline literally says Musk admits he turned off StarLink access.

Now talk about him sending StarLinks to Russia so they could use them against Ukraine.

I don’t know why anyone would defend this sociopath.

Probably because they identify with said sociopath.

And the actual text doesn’t say what the headline says which is not that unusual. Headlines are often deceptive. Nowhere in the actual story does it say he shut off service. He refused to extend the range far south to Sevastopol. If the U S government had approved it we’d know. No government official has said it was approved for Spacex to extend the range. It was his decision to make.

Russian black market.

Not the least bit surprising. I expect that he will gain support from both chambers of Congress and the WH. America, the beautiful???

In conversation with the Russian ambassador.

As stated Musk has assumed the position of a sovereign nation-state.

Perhaps the drug addicted wealthiest man in the world have this much power is acceptable to you. And don’t attempt to play the “freedom” card because this is not about freedom, it is about power.

I repeat, there’s no way to know what the US Government wanted in this case. No way. And for you to say we’d know is just kind of crazy, since there would be no way they would have ever released that information publicly with tensions the way they were.

It wasn’t Musk’s decision to make. On what authority did he make the decision? He’s not the US Government.

Here is a more recent report. Musk threatened to cut off all StarLink service to Ukraine at one point, even though he was compensated by the US Government for those services. This is a Musk special skill, acting like he is giving stuff and then getting US taxpayers to foot the bill. It’s from WaPo:

“The issue has renewed Ukrainian frustrations over Elon Musk, SpaceX’s mercurial chief executive. Some of the soldiers criticized Musk by name, saying his company has not done enough to crack down on illicit use and casting doubt on his desire to fix the problem, saying he appears to have favorable views toward Russia.

SpaceX provided free Starlink connection to Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 but then threatened to cut service following online spats with diplomats, citing the high costs. Musk relented under public pressure and then sent the bill to the Pentagon, the most recent totaling $14.1 million for six months of service through next month.”

Unfortunately, he not only thinks he is, Trump has allowed him to become government.

Anyone defending that fool needs to get their head checked.

No. Congressional Republicans own that responsibility along with their voters!

True. They bear ultimate responsibility. Their unwillingness to see the psychologically damaged orange imbecile for what he is, is astoundingly stupid.

BRUSSELS — Trump administration officials at the Pentagon invited a far-right activist, Jack Posobiec, to participate in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first trip overseas, according to a planning document obtained by The Washington Post and people familiar with the decision, triggering alarm among U.S. defense officials worried about the military being dragged into partisan warfare.

News of Posobiec’s invitation circulated among U.S. officials in Washington and in Europe ahead of Hegseth’s visit this week to Germany, Belgium and Poland, officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the secretary’s itinerary. One official said the potential involvement of Posobiec, a Trump booster who is known for peddling conspiracy theories and trolling political adversaries online, has raised questions within the Pentagon about Hegseth’s judgment and what he aimed to communicate to U.S. allies if he were to allow a polarizing political figure to be by his side..............

Posobiec’s history of extreme rhetoric includes promoting the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory that Democrats were running a satanic child-abuse ring. Last year, Posobiec’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in suburban Washington went viral after he supported people convicted of crimes following the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely,” Posobiec said. “We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.” He later said in an interview with NBC News that his comments were meant to make light of what he perceives to be a lack of democratic values in the administration of then-President Joe Biden.

Hegseth, a 44-year-old former Fox News personality and National Guard officer, has taken an adversarial approach with the news media that has included taking away workspace in the Pentagon for several mainstream outlets, including The Post. John Ullyot, a spokesman for Hegseth, said in a recent memo that the move was part of a “rotation program” designed to provide more access to other outlets, though some of the outlets that Ullyot said the Defense Department intends to rotate in already had news desks at the Pentagon..............
