Say "Controversial" Again.


From The New York Times:

Musk Offers $100 to Wisconsin Voters, Bringing Back a Controversial Tactic

By offering cash to voters who sign a petition opposing “activist judges,” Elon Musk’s super PAC can help identify conservative voters in a race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court.


I would have wondered if the writer of this article -- Theodore Schleifer -- had fallen victim to the Times' notoriously craven headline writers and editors, were it not for the fact that he used the "C" word in the first fucking paragraph.

Elon Musk is bringing back his most controversial gambit from the 2024 presidential election: paying voters as part of a plan to identify and turn out conservative-leaning ones.

"The White House spokesperson announced that Trump will continue his controversial practice of setting up a sniper's nest in the White House and picking off passing pedestrians on Pennsylvania Avenue. They added that sniping civilians is clearly part of his official duties and is therefore legal according to the recent Supreme Court ruling."

What's the word from Springfield. Where did he come from and why. More.
