Finally, we have some good news. You have probably already heard that Susan Crawford has beaten Brad Schimel for the Wisconsin Supreme Court despite the tens of millions of dollars Elon Musk spent trying to buy the election outcome for “monarch” Trump and his MAGAt cult. The media is covering all this, but as I have thought about what happened today I realized that what they aren’t covering is what I think is really happening. Trump made a deal with Musk. Musk would put up the money along with some of the other oligarchs to buy the U.S. presidency and congress for Trump and the MAGAt (Republican) Party. Trump, with their help, would transform America into an oligarch-owned and controlled pseudo-democracy. Musk would take the blame — why should he care, his wealth has made him an internationalist not a nationalist — and in return, he would get billions of dollars from government contracts (your tax dollars and mine) awarded to his companies. That was the calculation, but what Wisconsin has shown is that when American voters wake up this formula doesn’t work, and it has left Musk as a clown, and a growing liability for the MAGAts.

Susan Crawford has won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, NBC News projects, allowing liberals to maintain their narrow majority on the battleground state’s highest court — and defying Elon Musk after he spent millions of dollars to oppose her.
Crawford, a Dane County circuit judge who was backed by Democrats, secured a 10-year term on the court over Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County circuit judge and a former Republican attorney general. As the first major battleground state election of President Donald Trump’s second term, the technically nonpartisan contest drew national attention and became the most expensive state Supreme Court race in U.S. history.
The outcome is a setback for Trump and his billionaire adviser, Musk. Trump endorsed Schimel in the final stretch of the race, while Musk injected himself into the center of it, spending huge sums of money, visiting Wisconsin days out from Election Day and frequently […]
Excellent commentary, Stephan. I completely agree with everything you said. Today was the first day in months, I woke up and felt some sense of relief that American citizens can actually save this country. I was very happy they weren’t able to manipulate the results of that election. And who would buy a Tesla right now? I also heard that Walmart and Target sales were down from people boycotting them. If the economy and stock market start to tank because of the tariffs, more and more of Fox News, brain-washed viewers will start to wake up too. I know a few people that had applied for jobs in Canada but were turned down immediately because they we were from the USA. Other businesses have already been affected, that work with Canada, not getting their contracts renewed etc. Let’s hope momentum the momentum of The People continues.
A small glimmer of hope in increasing turbulence and darkness. Meanwhile here in North Carolina the position of deputy supreme court justice is still under appeal in the federal courts. The democratic candidate won by 700 plus votes confirmed by two recounts but the republican scum wants approximately 60K votes thrown out. It would be supremely ironic if he succeeds and only to find he lost by a larger margin. The republicans have to be the lowest form of life to always claim if they lose cheating was involved when they are the only ones who cheat.
