        Ok, but who’s in charge in Russia?

        You don’t see oligarchs pushing Putin out a window do you?

        Russia isn’t an oligarchy.

        Oligarchy is when the select few rich have political power.

        Which is the one thing Putin doesn’t allow the rich of Russia to have.

        Dictatorship? Sure. Authoritarian? Sure.

        But oligarchy is just propaganda against Russia. Even before president Musk America was far far more oligarchic.

    The government is so upset about this you’d think people were torching police cruisers or Humvees.

    Saying this is like pissing into an ocean of piss by now, but the corruption and conflict of interest on display is just nauseating.

    They use 3 cases of arson and vandalism nationwide to discredit and undermine legal public free speech protest on public sidewalks in front of Tesla dealerships. The government wants the public to think that the legal protests are terrorism, and make people afraid to exercise legal free speech.

      I’m pretty sure defense attorneys will also have a field day claiming a Tesla for sale on a lot is government property.

      I heard shaving cream can damage car paint. It would be a real bummer if someone had a shaving cream fight near a dealership and some of it got on the cars to sit overnight.

    the constitutions tenth amendment says:

    “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    the constitution says nothing about attacking tesla electric cars. ipso facto you have no jurisdiction.
