She’s wishing harm on Musk but in a passive-aggressive way that allows her to deny responsibility if something does end up happening to him. ---

Another story related to immigration hate: > **[Man accused of attacking TV reporter, saying ‘This is Trump’s America now’ | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/28/us/patrick-thomas-egan-accused-tv-reporter-attack/index.html)** > > A Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now,” according to court documents. Long story short: Brown reporter who was born in Detroit was targeted and attacked as a possible illegal immigrant by Colorado racist. ---

This one is blowing up, and so far not going away. Over on Breitbart they’re in an absolute tizzy. What’s really interesting is that some MAGA are just adopting Trump’s position that H1B immigration is different, while others are actually criticizing Trump. It’s rather fun to watch. ---

Donald of course does not need the MAGA base’s votes any more for himself and what does _ **he** _ care if the GOP dies after 2028 or after he does, so no surprise he’s siding with those who can give him what he continues to want: (a) more money, a LOT of it, and (b) a display of what he admires as most righteous, someone powerful using their resources to exact great retribution and revenge on those who did not know their place. OTOH the Elons of the world need to be aware Donald **is** someone who **would** say “DOJ: ruin them; frame them if you have to” if they piss him off enough. > [@Joey\_P](#): > > I’m seeing a lot of people upset that they’re agreeing with Ann Coulter Well she’s not wrong about _ **that** _. (Though the same is true of some employers who use a lot of low-skill undocumented immigrants, they want someone they can hold on through fear. ) ---
