Double humiliation for Musk as Putin, Kremlin, Moscow rejected his asylum plea to stay in Russia after his backed judge candidate in Wisconsin Supreme court lost.😊
Well, nice to see the american populace still has some sense in em
Yeah!❤
Thank God! This Demagoge have not bought this Election again.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wisconsin Bravo🥳🍻
Wait people in America elect their judges? So is the executive branch connected with judiciary or something
It's looking like Democrats will retake congress in the midterms then Trump will get probably get impeached again.
Why are people acting like this is something good?
Good
finally some good news from the US
How does the Wisconsin Supreme Court allow anyone to bribe potential voters? What's wrong with this picture?
That’s unfortunate, but Republicans won both contests in Florida last night. So 2-1 isn’t a bad night. Sadly Wisconsin leans left (although it went for Trump in 2024).
Hotchpotch business man Donald Trump
I was under the impression that judges were supposed to be impartial.
ummmm…the ones that matter were won in Florida. Watch how rapidly Wisconsin goes down the drain.
Money down the drain….Musk asking how low can you go in a toilet? And this guy is suppose to be a genius?? Not hard to see why Tesla-r is in the toilet along side him!!!!
Elon's money is toxic and nobody wants anything to do with Elon
In the uZa, money is the main religion.
At the same time there was a referendum on enshrining voter ID in the same constitution and that won overwhelmingly but don’t count on left wing France 24 to mention that.
Not a "liberal" judge but a pensive judge.
Resist these Lunatics billionaires ! Democracy ❤defend America and working Americans!
Damn, the coexist people will be burning buildings again. 😮
Liberal Judge elected means judge is biased, that itself means she is bought. Judiciary shouldn’t be in politics but unfortunately it is.
Down with Republicans, especially MAGA Republicans
Too bad Florida couldn't get with the program … Hope they can live without Social Security
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Do i still get the million ?
Cash please, im not taking a check from that man 😊
Victory in Wisconsin, Victory for Woman’s Rights, Human Rights. Major LOSS for “cheese head” and shiney plated chain saw performer ……$$$$ mUSK’s money couldn’t buy….🎉
Thank you on informing us of the republican spend on the campaign, but wait…what about the democrats spending ???
This is called BIAS and thank you for highlighting your channels alliances.
This is what happens when you don’t require voter Identification to vote, democrats will lie cheat and steal to remain in power
Another example of biased left wing european news. Yes, Wisconsin did elect a liberal judge to the court, but this was a local state election. Check out the election held in Florida yesterday for 2 seats in the House of Representatives in Washington. Both were won by Republican Trump supporters. Try again europe. You have 3+ years of President Trump left, and after that it will be President Vance. And you know how much Vance loves europe.
Why isn't Elon Musk behind bars? Lock him up.
So they’re buying votes in America now. I thought that only happened illegally in third world countries.
Up yours Trump
Oh look, corrupt Elon couldn't buy anyone. I expect the 2026 Senate elections to be the same way. More democrats or third party in, and Republicans out.
All the world needs is yet another communist in the judicial system. Communism has never succeeded at anytime in history other than providing misery and poverty.
America, where you can pay your way to power and it is a crime to be poor.
2026 Mid term is coming and guess what..💙
Justice doesn’t have a price!
I hope the world understands half of Americans are fighting Trump. We are fighting for democracy, we are marching against tyranny, we stand with our allies. We stand for justice and freedom. Do not forget us.
Bravoooo!
To our transatlantic friends, America is not dead yet. Please, don't lose faith in the American people yet. We still need your help to defeat the resurgence of fascism in America.
Saboteurs would be a better name for these people. “Courts not for sale” she says as her side promotes selling out the United States nation and its peoples.
But they lost the two House seats up for grabs in Florida, which is more important than a state court. MIC DROP!🤣🤣
Way to go Wisconsin, a small first step in redemption for voting for the great orange potato to begin with.
I would have put my name in the raffle for the 1 million and voted for the democrat. 🙃
Another purchased activist judge.
