Remind me what's supposed to happen when people break the law

Especially since it wasn't even a lottery, he flat out just picked who he thinks would play the best as advertisments, but sold it as "anyone can win"
The damage is now done and he's going to get what, a fine or some shit? Doubt it. A shrug and a strongly worded don't do that again- He will promptly do it again.
Even a $1bill fine would mean little to that man.
We can (and should) elect a president who would go after all these criminals.
There's literally no reason not to do it.
Anyone telling you differently is just trying to get people to skip voting
I'm 100% with you on this. The Dems are also complicit in not ensuring voters knew what illegal activities were happening at the time — when DOGE was in full swing, the left sat on their hands and allowed Musk and his army of hackers to siphon off terabytes of sensitive data. That said, I do believe in a swing of the pendulum, though this time it may swing further to the left than many expect.
I mean, it depends on what you mean by "the Dems"...
Schumer and Jefferies were/are lame ducks and obviously did nothing despite holding congressional leadership positions
And the DNC stayed out of it, because they shouldn't be involved in stuff like that, the party should never be setting policy like that.
Individual politicians with Ds by their names were ringing the alarm bells throughout that period and continue to do so.
There just wasn't/isn't much they can do for the next 6 months.
Things can get a lot better just by then
That said, I do believe in a swing of the pendulum, though this time it may swing further to the left than many expect.
I agree many don't see it coming...
But for people that know history, another FDR is obviously right around the corner, and we're a lot more likely to get a progressive Senate/House which not having is what held FDR back. Even if not, the president has a lot more power compared to 80 years ago.
Shit looks bad and could get way worse, but on a 20 year timeline I never been more optimistic about America's future.
DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL UNLESS THERE ARE REPERCUSSIONS
But it's only a bribe if he actually paid anyone. I heard all checks bounced.
Wisconsin’s election bribery statute, which makes it illegal to offer “anything of value” to induce someone to vote, not vote, or support a candidate.

Feel free to look up other sources or the actual statute.
How about we arrest and charge that motherfucker?
Can't do that. It would be bad for business.
Crooks who do tyranny, specially publicly, have no reason to be allowed to continue doing business
That's the thing we're all fighting for thousands to pay rent and buy food. Some bastard who steals $1M literally gets someone killed, that's like 20 people getting laid off, 20 households that wont have money for medicine housing and food, but the rich asshole gets a slap on the wrist because he didn't do anything violent with his body. He just clicked a button and stole millions, but that's way more damaging to society and kills people in a way that a shoplifter would never be able to even if they shoplifted every single day.
I mean isn't it kinda a miracle his businesses still operate, one could argue it's actually good for business.
Unfortunately, the ones that are supposed to do that, all work with him. I mean it's so obviously clear at this point. So many things have happened in this past little while that should have been instant arrest or investigations, or you know, just plain people getting fired or removal from offices. But it's clear, they all work together.
I guess you could say, the justice system overwhelmingly (not everyone but most) works for the executive branch now. It bows down like a little bitch and licks the executive branch boots.
It always has worked for the executive branch. The difference is the executive branch used to pretend to be impartial and find the best person for the job, and leave them alone to do it. These days the corruption is expected, and even desired, by a large portion of the American population.
Are you new to this planet?
Until he gets arrested, it's meaningless.
They're so terrified of setting the precedent of sending a rich person to prison. If a crime of this magnitude was committed by a poor person they would be disappeared for eternity.
The amount of damage DOGE did, just so he could shut down all the investigations into his companies, is incalculable. He belongs in prison for the rest of his life.
So it turns out that all this time a law is only really a law if it's enforced. Most of my life I assumed laws were laws when they became laws. But nope, the past few years have demonstrated that my assumption was false.
So no, he didn't break any Wisconsin laws because they ain't gonna do shit.
untrue we'll probably build him a data center the way they are tanking this state, I hope we have a massive swing next election because we need to clean the whole state house from the influences of paul ryan, robin vos, scott walker and ron fucking jonson and all the rest of those who've sold out our state for their own enrichment
Except that's not how it went down, it wasn't simply trying to get people to vote, you had to sign a form of intent saying you would vote for their candidate before you would be eligible for whatever piddly shit they were bribing people with, it should absolutely be an open and shut case in any just world.. but
Not just that, I think he didn't even give it to the people that entered but pre-chose people. Fucked up for multiple reasons.
If a foreign billionaire (trillionaire now) ever did this for a Democrat candidate, they would have dismantled the entire party permanently.
Likely!?!
I'm so sick of this kid glove horseshit.
Epstein Island is likely illegal, but a trans immigrant merely existing is definitely a domestic terrorist.
To be fair to journalists, they have to phrase it this way, until it's proven in a court of law I guess.
But I do hope that the article goes out of its way to point out that he broke the law already, many times, even with very similar shit.
Mee-lon borke the law countless times. The president of the us of na broke the law countless times (the supreme court said that's ok).
Next time I break the law I'll take my punishment as a sternly worded letter from the doj too thanks.
Even if they fined him a trillion dollars he would still be a billionaire.
I want him to have to pay a million dollars to vevery person who entered. Plus a fine ten times that amount into an election integrity fund.
Golly, I wonder what Dear Leader would say about that?

Whoa! I know a whole set of Americans who are apparently really upset at immigrants coming and breaking the law, or so they say. This will be the top story on Fox News any minute now.
Unfortunately though, he's too rich for consequences, and if recent history has shown us anything, it's that our corpo overlords think no consequences == no crime.
yet nobody did anything for 1+years, not even the DNC which they dint bother do any investigating the election machines.
And???
It ain't like the "justice system" is going to do jack shit about it. You have to be poor in order to get your ass thrown in prison.
Don't worry, I'm sure he'll have to pay a big fine of 0.000,000,00,000,001% of his net worth. Oh, and pinky promise not to do it again.
"Elon broke the law"
There fixed it for tou
Hopefully corruption along the way doesn't turn this into a, ya he did it, but his candidate lost so we'll give it a pass, type situation.
Timothy Mcveigh likely broke the law when he bombed the post office in Oklahoma.
Gee, almost decided it might be a problem before the elecrions after next elections after the problem.
Wait. He actually GAVE them money? I thought I heard he only said he would, but never paid out because all the checks bounced.
