  1. Nice to see the cult of Elon is out in force to support their messiah. Tech note, When a car is riding rough at 45mph it's going to be horrific at 150mph (the speed that Elon says the design speed is), at that speed it's going to be bottoming out, sparks will fly as the bottom of the car hits the floor of the tunnel, and airborne at times That smooth gentle turn at 45mph will find the passenger being rammed against the sides of the car. Talk to the Japanese and the European high speed train and railroad as well as race track designers on how to build high speed tracks.

  3.  @SahilP2648  I know of this banking, did you see any on that test tunnel? Cause as a proof of concept, that tunnel was less advanced than the tunnels that the Romans built to mine copper back when they were building Rome.

  4.  @SahilP2648  Automation It's more precise when everything is in place when it's needed every single time it's needed. Issues come up when things don't. If you have a problem with what I said, take it up with Elon Musk because he one the one who said that the robots slowed down the production line and that the production line was too automated and that he need more humans on the assembly line. I brought up GM because GM operated the plant that is now the Tesla factory and as I said GM experienced the same issues that Tesla did when it began to increase the automation on the assembly line. And yes every car manufacturer uses automation and robots to build cars. And every single one still has people in the assembly line and many like Ford are experimenting with going to hand held robots or augmenting devices.

  6.  @charleslloyd4253  funny, but the folks who come frome south of the border tend to be vaccinated because it's free there. It's when they are here where they don't get vaccinated because of lack of access to routine medical care.

  7. Republicans hope that Pelosi remains speaker, the replacement would be to even more hostile and probably more partisan.

  8.  @yaimavol  The NSC told that Trump that his Crowdstrike allegation was a scam, a conspiracy theory, a hoax. Trump's own head of Homeland Security told him the same thing.

  9.  @gtabraham3454  Not quite how that works. It is the House of Representatives that impeaches. The Senate is where the trial takes place and it is decided if the impeachment is upheld.

  10.  @SahilP2648  Just like they knew that they could use a fully automated assembly line to build the Model 3 at rates greater than Toyota/GM could build cars at the same plant? It's not that they are not "smart", it's that they think they are the smartest people in the room and their arrogance leads them to ignore the lessons that have already been learned by others so they tend to try to reinvent the wheel to the point they don't even want to use the same words and part numbers for commonly available parts.

  12. It's called a FOIA lawsuit, multiple media companies sued to have it released, the Judge ordered it release and it was released. So do some research as you folks like to say and actually find the truth instead of the insanity of BS drug deal gone wrong or lover's quarrel BS that the nutjob trolls keep floating around.

  17. Mumps is a disease that was extinct in the USA. Rich California Morons refused to vaccinate their kids and used personal and religious exemptions, so when a tourist with mumps visited Disneyland, mumps spread throughout Southern California.

  21.  3L33T  The CrowdStrike Server claim came from Konstantin Kilimnik who foisted this idea to Paul Manafort who at the time was Trump's Campaign Chair. This information came to light during investigations into Russia's interference in the 2016 elections. Prior to working with Manafort, Kilimnik had graduated from a GRU school and worked as an interpreter for the GRU.

  22.  @yaimavol  I'm not the birther, the person you are defending is. And what's the name of the Ukrainian official? That conspiracy that Ukraine interfered with the US elections is as Fiona Hill testified at the hearing is a fictional narrative fueled by the Russian propagand. All the US Intel agencies investigated this and came to the same conclusion. The only ones who don't believe it is the Birther in Chief who got that conspiracy from Paul Manafort, who got it from his fixer Konstantin V. Kilimnik. And we know this because it's in Rick Gates' testimony before the Mueller investigators. Oh Kilimnik has been indicted in US Federal Court.

  26. Trump has made a great deal about what the wall is to be made out of and there have been a number of prototypes built. Not one of those prototypes have been selected and none are in service.

  27. One of the themes of Rosh Hashanah suggests that very righteous people would die at the very end of the year because they were needed until the very end. That those that die at the start of Rosh Hashanha are "tzaddik". a person of great righteousness," That was RGB, from the days when she worked as a typist, raised her kids, cared for and supported the love of her life, her husband, supported her friends through their trials and tribulations. She fought for those who had no voice.

  31. Last time I checked Trump voters did not vote to elect Democrats. That they got elected points to the fact that YOU, did not elect them. For the Democrats who were elected in 2018, their base, their voters are pretty clear on what they want. They are doing exactly what they were elected to do.

  32.  @danthewolf1997  Correct and everything, I mean everything has to be smooth, no bumps. It's one of the reasons that high speed rail cost over 60 million dollars per mile to build. And that's without having to dig tunnels.

  33.  @SahilP2648  Elon admitted that one of the issues was that they were too automated and that in some cases the robots were slowing down the production line. Turned out that a human being could grab a bolt from a parts bin and install it than a robot could. Now this is not the first time this kind of thing happened. It happened before with GM back when it was installing robots in it's assembly lines.

  34.  @travishamlin7106  That's up to the DOJ, which had 4 years to investigate during Trump's reign.

  38.  @rodglad6742  Funny, I guess the founders were just kidding when they inserted this process called impeachment for when elected officials use their office to break laws in order to win an election.

  39.  @rodglad6742  Well, testimony is evidence as is his actions in response to legal requests for documentation and witnesses. So just at this stage of the investigation the House has enough for articles of impeachment on obstruction, contempt of congress, bribery, witness tampering.

  40.  @rodglad6742  It's not hearsay when the person testifying is the one end of the conversation or the one who is listening in on the phone call as part of their job, or are the ones tasked with the prep work that led up to the phone call. When Donald Trump ordered the executive branch to not cooperate with the house, not turn over documents that law should have been turned over, Right there he wrote his own article of impeachment. In fact that was one of the articles of impeachment that passed out of committee against Nixon.

  41. Funny thing, I don't think Pence is covered by the DOJ prohibition against prosecution. So at least 5 members of Trump's cabinet are possible co-conspirators to bribery, misuse of federal funds, use of government funds for personal gain, I'm sure a lawyer can come up with a raft full of charges. Only question is, is there anyone in the DOJ who is still loyal to the constitution, lord knows the AG and his deputy is not.

  42.  @rodglad6742  When your own hand picked ambassador states that there was quid pro quo, and you don't send anyone whom he had named who could say otherwise, what Sondland says is considered to be factual and the truth. Why, because you did not show up to present a counter argument. And no the blatherings of the Republicans on the committee don't count.

  45.  @rodglad6742  It's an impeachment, I get it you failed US constitution 101. Even in a court of law, if you don't put a witness or present evidence to counter what the prosecution says, you will get convicted. Refusing to provide documents is not a defense but rather adds contempt of court charges.

  56. The IRS auditor did not do a full audit, he, yes he as in one person, just took the word of the accounting firm that Trump's tax filing were accurate. The IRS agent wrote that Trump "hires a professional accounting firm and Counsel to prepare and file tax return," and they "ensure" that Trump "properly reports all income and deduction items."  Seems the IRS agent believes he only needs to audit if the person is too poor to hire a high priced tax accountant. Funny, that same accounting firm, fired Donald Trump as a client stating that they (the accounting firm) could no longer stand behind a decade of annual financial statements it prepared for the Trump Organization
    1
  57.  @clickclack8081  Since the company that prepares his tax filings have stated that they cannot vouch for the accuracy of the past ten years of his financial statements, that hints that the 2016 tax filings through 2020 are not accurate. Which is the reason the IRS was supposed to be auditing his tax submissions. The IRS agent should not be a rubber stamp

  58.  @clickclack8081  read the report.

  59.  @clickclack8081  The only people at fault for that is yourself and the Republicans. The Republicans had their chance to participate, they chose their loyalty to the traitor over their loyalty to the law when after negotiating a 9/11 style commission, that would see them able to equal control of the investigation, with subpoena powers. Instead they threw that away and chose to put people who were active participants in Trump's plot on the committee that took it's place. So spare us the whining

  60. ​ @clickclack8081  No, this one is from Ways and Means which has oversight over the IRS which is required to audit the Potus's tax returns and has been since Nixon invited the committee to audit his tax returns that the IRS had prepared for him and they found out that Nixon had underpaid because the IRS did not record the income from a book deal. Since then the IRS has audited every President's taxes every single year. And now we find that the IRS never audited Trump's 2016,2017,2018 and 2020 and only started auditing his 2016 after the Committee chairman demanded to see the audit

  64.  @coreym162  The taxes in question were for both personal and the businesses and it seems the IRS did not audit him and the IRS agent who was assigned to audit his return just rubber stamped it because in his words that Trump "hires a professional accounting firm and Counsel to prepare and file tax return," and they "ensure" that Trump "properly reports all income and deduction items."

  65.  @salex9482  Alex, the frakking IRS agent put his reasoning on paper and sent that to the Committee. You can keep saying misinformation but until you can point to something that would support your claim, it's just white noise.

  70. The only reason you have this is because media companies sued to have these released. You are not suppose to have this at all. Having this out taints the jury pool and the f*r's lawyer has grounds for a mistrial or no trial at all.

  71. Did you even bother to read or listen about anything involving this case beyond the conspiracy theories? Here's the summary December 14 2022 - In the preliminary hearing, the San Francisco district attorney’s office introduced audio and video evidence against David DePape, the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi. But it has refused to release the evidence to the media. Evidence introduced in the preliminary hearing against DePape included audio from a 911 call made by Paul Pelosi, portions of body camera video taken by the two police officers who responded to the Pelosis’ house, portions of video of a police detective interviewing DePape and footage captured by Capitol Police Department surveillance cameras. Jan 12, 2023 — A coalition of news organizations, including The Associated Press, has filed a court motion in San Francisco seeking to access evidence January 25, 2023, 5:17 PM SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Footage of the attack on former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband will be released to the public after a judge on Wednesday denied prosecutors' request to keep it secret.
