2. Because Musk is MAGA, so he feels the need to falsely smear Vindman.

And he’s propping up Putin as well, so he has another reason to lie about Vindman.

6. Musk Craves The Limelight, Much Like Trump

His path will flame out much like Trump's has. Let history be the judge - as Vindman says.

he should respect the words of his last three sentences. What a disgusting trumper. THE EX-FLA MAN-as a potus tried to destroy American democracy. Lt.Col Vindman is the patriot who has the courage to go against the RW coup attempt with dangerous actions such as no money for Ukraine at that time of possible invasion from russia's putin. A bff of trump.

Rachel Maddow's podcast #8 tells us what has been going on since the 40s by the RW trying to destroy democracy. All current nefarious RW activity has led to trump and the 1/6/21 attempt by the RW to create a fascist Hitlerian and/or Putin-type authoritarian country. And they are still at it.

11. He's a rich twit and one of those soft, pink businessmen

who never could have made it through basic training, let alone rise through any ranks on his own merits.

It's harder to succeed in the military, Elon, it's a completely different ball game from the one you're used to, and family money won't leverage you anything but resentment when you try to buy your way out of scrapes.

13. Right, he has that I am special ego.

I think a lot of the posturing bigmouths that are getting traction in the last few years all would have washed out the first week.

The fact that he has to tear others down is very telling on the kind of ass he is, just like his brother from another mother Donny.

14. They really think money gives them superior wisdom

I can tell them it doesn't. I'm just as big a blockhead after my dad left me enough to live on as I was when I was poor, something my fellow DU denizens aren't too polite to remind me of from time to time.

15. Wealthy 'Alpha Male' Egos think of the military as useful idiots.

Just another fungible tool, like labor, to be used. Military service is for losers and suckers.
The only good Military Hero is a loaner/hardcore fighting machine who gets the job done through great personal sacrifice. You know-a video game character.

16. Same reason any of us chose to assume (insert any name) has "no respect for"
Tue Nov 29, 2022, 03:07 PM

(insert anything)? No limits to this kind of social medial exercise that I can see, certainly no respect for truth, or for that matter for respect itself.
