There is no reason not to believe what Trump’s niece says here.
If he gets away with election tampering, inciting an insurrection, and stealing classified documents, not to mention fraud, extorsion, witness intimidation, etc., he will be empowered to take it up another notch, whatever hellish scenario that may look like.
A video from progressive political action committee “MeidasTouch” (see below) asserts that Republicans are leaving the GOP in droves out of frustration with the Trump/MAGA ultra-right. I would love to believe that, but I’m struggling with the notion. (more…)
It’s a question worth asking.
OK, Florida wants MAGA-style Republicans, and Rick Scott certainly fits the bill. As governor, and deeply in bed with Big Oil, he made it essentially impossible to build solar plants. That will get hateful morons standing up and cheering every day of the week.
But why don’t they find someone who doesn’t look–and act–like he’s from another planet?
Glad to see this.
Commonly, we see EV drivers mocked for filling up tanks of gasoline for their emergency generators in preparation for hurricanes. How asinine.
I’m sure this isn’t the only Halloween display in this vein in 2022, but it’s certainly clever. Somebody deserves credit.
Denial of science in favor of what crackpots say on social media is a phenomenon that, we can only hope, is going to be short-lived in our society.
And, as far as I can tell, it’s distinctly American. We don’t see people in Western Europe and the rest of the developed world kicking modern medicine to the curb.
That said, we’re a different breed of animal. Neither France nor Japan elected a president who suggested swallowing bleach as a cure for COVID-19.
Most indications are that Trump will be in no condition to run for president again in 2024. Political experts believe the Republican party will have jettisoned the criminal sociopath long before then, while many legal experts claim that he’ll be on his way to prison.
That said, neither of these possibilities will be at all satisfactory to the driver of the vehicle shown here.
As a reader notes:
“At one time, he was a good mayor, with a caring heart when the tragedy of 911 took place in New York City. However, when he entered the dark and sick environment of Donald J. Trump, he quickly and willingly, went down a rabbit hole, into the abyss, where even the Republican Senate have mislead their “red” meat base into believing that they sponsor democracy when in fact, it is an authoritarian-fascism.”
Indeed. As far as I’m aware, Giuliani is unique in history for having thrown away an enviable reputation of honor to become a piece of scum. One needs to go to literature (Goethe’s Faust) to find a character who made such a poor decision.
On a much smaller scale, of course, this happens to people constantly. I’m sure every heroin addict on Earth wishes he hadn’t gotten his first high.
Here, however, we’re talking about one of the most visible people in the United States, a man who carried with him great respect, and who knowingly and deliberately ditched that to become one of the kingpins in a criminal enterprise.
I work out at the local YMCA, which unfortunately was founded by a wealthy Republican, and thus, on the way to my favorite machines, I have walk by a set of televisions, one of which always shows Fox News.
As I made may way across the floor yesterday, the topic was reducing our consumption of meat. On the screen: “Bill Gates’ decision to go vegetarian will not save the planet.”
Do you think Gates believes that his eating habits alone are going to move the needle on climate change? Doesn’t it seem more likely that Gates, an extremely bright human being, is trying to lead masses of people to cut meat out of their diets, thus arresting the destruction of the Amazon rain forest?
Apparently, the people who write this garbage for Fox have an extremely low opinion of their viewers’ intelligence.
Mitch McConnell recently pointed to “candidate quality,” presumably referring to Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker, as the reason Republicans are struggling as they go into the midterms.
As the author of the meme here notes, however, the 2024 presidential election looks even worse.
Below is a video presentation from the CEO of HEVO, a player in the wireless (inductive) EV charging space.
Perhaps the coolest features demonstrated here are the dozens of different elements of software that help drivers find charging points, make reservations, align their cars to the charging mat, and then access real-time information as to the actual charging process and the health of their battery.
The demo in the video is done on a 2012 Nissan Leaf, whose battery health turns out to be 61%, which is terrible. If I were into writing puns, I might say that it’s terminally ill. In fact, it’s recommended that EV owners get new batteries at 80%, and recycle their old ones to people who will use them for grid storage.
