Oh, that’s OK, Elon! No harm done. Well, except for Donald sending ICE and the National Guard into Los Angeles to arrest and shoot citizens just to provide a distraction from you calling him a pedophile. Other than that, no big deal, you tiresome twit.

"The administration’s definition of 'rebellion' is slipshod and ungrounded in law, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t think it through. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump believes that any pushback against his administration’s policies is criminal and must be suppressed."
