(6,457 posts)That was simply the most amazing speech I have ever heard a Democrat give. Wake up Democrats! Learn from something!
This is the way to take our democracy back - make them backdown.

(4 posts)Congrats and thank you for being so bold as to speak the truth. One only hopes that some of the people that he speaking to and about will hear him. And just who the heck does Musk think he is to think he can run our country when we didn't vote him into ANY office? Damn him!
