Sure.

He’ll be confirmed with no problem. They always give Trump whatever he wants.

I think she should do it to fuck with Trump since all his 47 branded merch would then be worthless.

Yup. We know he’s a rapist, a racist, and a criminal, and that didn’t lose him any support. What exactly could there be that would turn off his supporters? At this point I really don’t think anything would do it. They’d just say “well, on him it looks good!”

“We hear you, American consumer! You say you want a sub-$40k, small, basic EV. So here’s another luxury SUV/pickup truck/yacht crossover starting at $90,000.”

So… CEOs will cause job cuts in 2024, and have decided to use generative AI as an excuse.

It's interesting to me that as soon as EV's are finally seriously becoming a thing, we are told that tire dust, rather than ICE emissions, are really the worst thing possible for the planet (and it's somehow implied that ICE vehicles don't have tires). When somebody points out that ICE vehicles do, in fact, have tires too, EV's are STILL worse because EV's are heavier than the equivalent ICE cars. Strangely, the fact that for years, people have been driving ludicrously overweight vehicles (the Ford F150, weighing in at 4,070 to 5,757 lbs, is the top selling passenger vehicle in the US, and last I checked, it had tires) was never an issue.

“Law and order” has always only meant “keep undesirables (minorities, leftists, workers) afraid and under constant threat of violence”. It has never meant “actually hold everyone equally accountable to the law”.

I think it’s actually sedition. You have to conspire with an external enemy for it to be treason (I mean, he did that too, but this is mostly homegrown and easier to prove).

She really needs to meet new people.

Just like every other decent human being.

Going with the “batteries catch on fire argument” is stupid. “Batteries are heavy and expensive” is probably more compelling. But yeah, wires are better solution for things going in fixed routes.

You could argue pretty convincingly that it didn’t. We’re in a much worse place than we were, and the damage is far from over.
