Youtube comments of M Shepard (@mshepard2264).

  1. The last Circuit board I designed has 480 parts. This goes in a product with 300 parts. There is no way every single component is getting made in the US.
    1800
  2. Every time I think Lindsey has grown a backbone Im disappointed like 48hrs later.
    624
  3. The reason is the same in the US. If both husband and wife have to work 50+ hours a week to get by and daycare cost 25-30k a year what do you expect. worker productivity and gdp growth are pursued at the expense of all else.
    243
  4. The abandonment of the Kurds was unforgivable.
    237
  5. Also all the party leaders are 85 years old.
    114
  6. Her blind endorsement of kash patel is the worst part
    81
  7. The tolerance for civilian deaths has definitely changed.
    66
  8. so pam bondi lied under oath all ready and she isn’t even confirmed yet. Fantastic this is going to go great!
    63
  9. Marco rubio and everyone involved should be brought up on charges right now!
    59
  10. A really important thing he said is that African countries need investment in processing minerals into finished product close to the source. That is where money is actually made and people employed.
    53
  11. Mark Kelly was the best I think. He was commenting directly on evidence that she would be bad at the job.
    52
  12. yes it will never be the same. the center will not hold. but this is what 70 million voters wanted apparently.
    51
  13. We noticed that what we buy at the local farmers market is cheaper than the food in the grocery store. It didn’t used to be that way.
    50
  14. When Elon started paying people to vote for trump that was it for me. Any billionaire that pays any voters to vote a certain way Is way over the line. I will never ever buy a product affiliated with elon.
    44
  15. thats what I’m saying. not only did he not design those cars he destroyed the company by ruining their brand appeal. Genius!
    41
  16. I think that the worst is yet to come unfortunately. i live near DC. Everything is going completely off the rails. Some of the people I know are currently on “leave”.
    40
  17. I have made and programmed battery systems. I don’t think anyone could get a normal comercial battery’s to fail at the same exact time. If the pagers randomly went off over the course of hours then maybe. However that video from the supermarket didnt look like a battery failure. Battery failures usually look more like a flare. Also battery failures involve lots of smoke.
    38
  18. Trump has never ever not sided with russia
    34
  19. I would bet the UK is correct and it is politically inconvenient for the US to have the chinese called out about it at this moment.
    32
  20. also side effects of too much adderal.
    31
  21.  @Dana-pq7ke So you Wanted our government to be controlled by un elected billionaires?
    30
  22. the security gaurds were put on leave for trying to stop them.
    30
  23. Its always a grift with him and I guess elon wasn’t feeling rich enough because he is in on it too
    29
  24. Elon probably wouldn’t notice if he had a child with cancer. He has like 50 kids and his assistant probably screens for “nuisance” telephone calls from his kids moms.
    28
  25. The old robber barons at least gave to charities not musk though he doesn’t even pretend.
    27
  26. this might be worse then china i bet they at least see a judge at some point in china
    25
  27. Ross Perot wasn’t a garbage candidate.
    24
  28. Good luck getting treatment if you’re not wealthy.
    23
  29.  @pertinaks1151  maybe you should show it by letting the Ukrainians export their grain to africa
    23
  30.  @rabmcnair4488 why are you worried your russian
    23
  31. little kids pretend to be cats and dogs all the time what are they going to arrest all the little kids its the stupidest thing i have ever heard.
    23
  32. The only way I could explain it is that everyone at twitter hates Elon.
    22
  33. If the coup leaders are confident that they represent the will of the people they should schedule a new election in the next month or two right?
    21
  34. When I used to be involved in projects at a major media company I noticed that the more budget you had the less free you where to do what you want. Once you have budget you have a committee of people second guessing every decision.
    20
  35. people are just taking what hamas says on faith about the hospital? why would they be telling the truth all of a sudden. Also images show the hospital still standing and that there was a fire in the parking lot. The media in general needs to check sources better before publishing.
    20
  36. who enforces their read only access they might have left back doors. I would really really be surprised if there is no back door now.
    20
  37.  @5tre55full  parroting Russian propaganda doesn’t make it more true. Russian soldiers were shooting selfies in front of the Russian missile launcher. Also like it or not we have these reconnaissance satellites and radars and such.
    20
  38. Especially because ELON is a defense contractor he gets billions of tax dollars.
    19
  39. Im sure he will figure out how to blame Obama somehow.
    19
  40.  @S1eww  yea it is common to move a boat a couple feet. especially at a dock like that or a fuel dock. sometimes if a large ship get delayed your loosing like thousands of dollars an hour.
    18
  41. I dont get how people think Russia / wagner is going to make things better. Wagner doesn’t work for free. They will be taking their payment and it will be expensive for the host country.
    18
  42. Look at GM they made the Bolt and discontinued it. This was after they Made the Volt which they also discontinued. Instead they are trying to push an electric hummer that weighs like 20,000 lbs.
    18
  43. I agree with JVL it is the most shameful moment for the US of my lifetime.
    18
  44.  @JesterMax24 Maybe people with heart issues should just eat less cheese burgers and meditate more. Maybe people that take ozemspic should just eat less. Maybe you shouldn’t give advice if you are not a doctor and have no idea what you’re talking about.
    17
  45. ⁠​⁠ @mando102 So are the Russians about to take Kiev ? A billion in missiles wont get it done just like carpet bombing Cambodia didn’t cause the USA to suddenly win in the 70s. keep in mind 7 million tons of bombs were dropped during the Vietnam war. Also the USA had air superiority and still lost. a couple hundred cruise missile is roundoff error compared to that.
    16
  46.  @brendaberry6648 he thinks oaths are for suckers. I guess he is right.
    16
  47. All the republicans are afraid of being primaries by elon.
    16
  48. so your ok with a random military general no one voted for taking over. also after a coup most foreign aid will end and foreign investment will dry up.
    15
  49. If you were ben Carson Neurosurgeon why would you accept the position at hud?
    15
  50.  @jaimeflores7730 yea but suddenly not having a job sucks. If these people were fired by microsoft or something you would be sympathetic but since you don’t think they are on your side you are not. Its acceptable for modern “conservatives” to crap on government workers no matter who they are or how hard they worked.
    15
  51. What the UN was intended to be would be perfect for Gaza. If the UN could raise a giant multi national peace keeper force that was somewhat impartial it would be the least bad solution. With the UN in its current state I cant imagine that happening.
    14
  52.  @robinalexander5558  Well that was the most lethal conflict in the history of humanity. so there were some drawbacks
    14
  53. they did try to stop them at USAID and trump let elon put them on “leave”.
    14
  54. this will be so much worse than Kavanaugh
    13
  55. I wish I could say that Netanyahu ignoring their ONLY real ally and starting a larger war just before the US election was surprising.
    13
  56. I went to GW and took foreign policy classes and the Idea that it would be the USA that sold out NATO and turned their backs on their allies in order to have a cozy relationship with putin is mind boggling.
    13
  57. I think Paul is right. There needs to be a real security check. Like Ukraine becomes full nato member.
    13
  58.  @MrStonedraider I thought it was a special military operation?
    13
  59. So I am of European descent and I was working in central america doing manual labor with this Philippino guy and its almost 100 degrees so we arent wearing shirts. We are both fairly fit but the other guy is older in better shape and “prettier”. So im Like jesus do you shave your chest and he is like : Naw son hair doest grow on steel ! It was the best answer ever! I think most of this femininity thing is just that in the west people associate being hairy with masculinity. Asian men just are not very hairy.
    12
  60. trump is afraid of elon
    12
  61. I Hate Bannon however I think I hate Elon more. Who ever is in the room with trump will pull his puppet strings. It needs to not be Elon and those silicon valley aholes.
    12
  62. When the US leaves there will be less money. The US pays Niger for the base and gives military and humanitarian aid. Maybe the US should leave but that will not help the economy of Niger.
    11
  63.  @mando102  Right now Russia is just insuring that no one wins. The stupid thing about that is Russia still looses even if Ukraine is destroyed.
    11
  64.  @linuxguy1199 you dont make them pack trucks forever. Engineers need to know low level things like that. Otherwise they will not come up with improvements later. Having your engineers build some character is a good idea.
    11
  65. The trust issue is significant I have worked as a contractor before. We spent hundreds of thousands before reimbursement. If I cant trust that they will pay then I just cant accept the contract.
    11
  66. Elon has done really cool thing then unfortunately he went completely nuts during the pandemic. now he just sucks. Its depressing.
    11
  67. yea me too i used to call it the upside down pyramid
    11
  68. Hegseth couldn’t even run a veterans non profit. Sure he should totally run a trillion dollar defense department.
    10
  69. cowardice makes it possible
    10
  70. Tariffs are like sales tax.
    10
  71.  @ronaldking1054  that and being an actual junkie
    10
  72. and fake
    10
  73. I just drove over 1600km to deliver something and was basically in the same part of the USA the whole time
    10
  74. thats winging about money spent on attack adds is a pretty funny complaint
    10
  75. yea I would have lost it.
    10
  76. this whole thing just makes me tired and hopeless. All these people are going to go vote for and 80year old conman from queens. After everything they said they will vote for a guy who was a born millionaire. Its hopeless.
    10
  77.  @windycityliz7711  i think that she knows enough. the rules have changed all the old people in congress are getting nothing done. If young people don’t step up there will be nothing left.
    10
  78. The ethanol is needed to raise the octane of the gasoline. MTBE was used before but it was giving people birth defects or something. its not really about offsets.
    9
  79.  @MySocksMatch84 those loophole only work if you have tax shelters that only apply if you have enormous assets. I own a small company we don’t have international tax shelters and shell companies and massive “assets” to depreciate.
    9
  80. I hate to say but i agree in many cases the Chinese EV offerings are superior. This comes from cornering the lithium Iron phosphate battery market years ago. Its more the result of other companies lack of foresight and innovation. The only company that will be able to compete with the Chinese companies is probably tesla due to their aggressive implementation of advanced manufacturing.
    9
  81.  @infintyzone bots and trolls always use the smile cry emoji.
    9
  82. how is funding training and manufacturing jobs crushing poor Americans. Poor Americans pay low tax rates so how are they getting crushed. Also inflation rate is way down.
    9
  83. nice job mitch endorsing a president that makes fun of you!
    9
  84. That couldn’t possibly be done without a large majority in the house and senate. Was no one paying attention between 2008-2016. Obama would have done that but he lost the majority in the senate and house.
    9
  85. one day his limo driver will write a tell all.
    9
  86. Maybe other places in Africa have the natural resources Niger does not. It is dry almost impossible to grow anything. Also one or two uranium mines is not enough to support 25 million people. It is cheaper to mine other places that have better infrastructure.
    9
  87. The republican congress just rolled over an said yessir
    9
  88.  @inrainbows1829 so you think soldiers and air traffic controllers and people like that shouldn’t get paid because of some billionaires that TAKE billions in public money want to play at being legislators.
    9
  89. how they literally have no enforcements mechanism on their own. Without the justice department’s help they cant make them.
    8
  90. nancy did it for tictoc
    8
  91. The extra battery in the trunk might actually make the towing work. Just the weight on the rear axel might make towing better.
    8
  92. the covid masks worked pretty well to block facial recognition.
    8
  93. They should NEVER have caved to elons BS tweets the first time.
    8
  94.  @AndyMartin-n6j are you kidding he is holding up tick tacks and rambling
    8
  95.  @erinc6997 Yea and they did cancel a bunch of student loan debt. Then I think some republican judges put that on hold.
    8
  96. Billions
    8
  97. The expanse is probably the best science fiction anything I have ever seen.
    8
  98.  @99.8Survivor stop lying
    8
  99. Adam kinzinger for president
    7
  100. Kinzinger for president
    7
  101. Yea my professors for multivariable calculus and several other subjects were Iranian. Then when I graduated my first boss in engineering was also an Iranian expat.
    7
  102.  @jankidneigh7580  oh please if tax rates were the same as they were under Reagan we wouldn’t be running a deficit. The problems are all self inflicted.
    7
  103.  @TimMcGuinessCom  so ypu want the oligarchs to run things. And yea during the last 75 years it did work fairly often.
    7
  104. I bet you this will be the last video of the admiral. After this Russia will be like he is on vacation!
    7
  105. JD vance shouldn’t have even been there
    7
  106. Iowa hates Tariffs and trade wars
    7
  107. because with our near constant state of wars and conflict what could go wrong.
    7
  108. gas was not much cheaper here in the north east neat I95
    7
  109. Its hard enough to make the Euro work a Bricks currency would just reduce the versatility of the individual countries central banks.
    7
  110.  @arubinojr5670 no it wasn’t both sides it was the republicans
    7
  111. yea that’s hilarious elon. my friends who worked hard wont be able to pay rent while you made 50 million just standing there
    7
  112. joe rogan is an idiot if he thinks billionaires don’t grift
    7
  113. I hope the new guys turn out to be better.
    7
  114.  @mel92108 It was not brilliant. Also his tarif plan would definitely cause inflation as its just returning to normal.
    7
  115. Except hypersonic missiles and ram jets and scram jets are not really new at all. Most of this stuff was tested in the 60s and 70s. Also ICBMs are basically unstoppable anyway. So what problem is being solved. Its a flashy buzzword weapon. Its a weapon for a second tier military to brag about while they should be focusing on logistics.
    7
  116. He thinks that they don’t matter so he doesn’t put the effort in to getting their names correct.
    6
  117. look up the FAS Verizon thing he just cancelled a competitors contract and awarded it to spacex
    6
  118.  @glintongordon6811  why didn’t they bring enough fuel and supplies. Why did paratroopers drop in behind enemy lines so they were cut off. They expect the Ukrainian govt to collapse. that didnt happen.
    6
  119. money talks 100 million over night. Did trump raise 100mil overnight?
    6
  120.  @DKNguyen3.1415 that is especially true for semiconductors. It didnt even make any sense to offshore semiconductors. The factories are so automated its not really a labor cost issue. The US still has aerospace and defense.
    6
  121. I do think that it might be time to re-evaluate building codes to make future disasters like this less bad. Maybe restricting roofing to metal shingles and concrete roofing tiles. Possible low density foamed concrete structures. Im not an expert but I think the must be a way to reduce the risk in the future.
    6
  122. You guys should do an episode on the very successful voter suppression campaign the republicans ran this time. There were a-lot of people forced to file provisional ballots. And alot of those ballots were later disqualified.
    6
  123.  @donhello7522 your account was created pretty close to the invasion of Ukraine?
    6
  124.  @tedmoss  they are going to raise the debt ceiling and give such a huge tax cut to their billionaire friends.
    6
  125. what media control? its the age of no media control anyone can post anything.
    6
  126. No if you are from the USA you could get picked up by the cultural police for some nonsense. Then it will be all politics and trades and a nightmare.
    6
  127. she was not pretending to be a democrat
    6
  128. are you insane people have all-ready recognized their relatives in these videos. They are not allowed to stand up or they get beat. These prisons in el salvador are years old there has been documentaries about them by like amnesty international ect. This is actually happening.
    6
  129. probably the best ad yet
    6
  130. Putin didn’t want to put SA in an awkward spot.
    6
  131. Russia doesn’t want Ukraine to accept a deal. They are just hoping Ukraine allies give up.
    6
  132. Yea Vance seems to love putin even more than trump. I wonder what his code name is? Hey what is the russian word for eyeshadow?
    6
  133.  @HamhocksUnlimited  don’t start with bs conspiracy theories. 80mph winds and dry conditions and bad luck is what caused this.
    6
  134. Its just the right time and place for Harris. Outstanding!
    6
  135. That doesn’t make sense at all. The US is hoping the country stays stable. The US just doesn’t want a repeat of Afghanistan.
    6
  136. RFK is nuts and there is no way rank and file democrats will vote for him. Also he can barely speak.
    5
  137. Thats the problem with being a born millionaire. I bet no one has ever punched him in the mouth. The rules have never applied to him.
    5
  138. have you all noticed that every maga bot or troll uses the 😂 emoji like every time.
    5
  139. Andor is the best starwars related thing I have seen since the 80s
    5
  140. no but it flies good and launches modern missiles which is way better than broken ancient soviet planes.
    5
  141. He would complain about it but He would definitely not order any assassinations in India.
    5
  142. It was so shameful when the whitehouse under trump abruptly abandoned the Kurds after all that.
    5
  143. When trump was president it was always a race to see if his experienced cabinet members could save the country from some giant international blunder before trump fired them for “disloyalty”. No one anywhere can afford to go back to that precarious situation.
    5
  144.  airforceLTC  Hegseth is worse
    5
  145. The will It will probably be the euro for the time being.
    5
  146. this is the age of republicans catching the car and finding it was not what they wanted.
    5
  147. I think that people were not ready for social media. All the weird conspiracy theory’s have exploded in the last 20 years and made average people less logical and more crazy. I miss the days of having to get you com ports and IRQs set eight to maybe get your modem on the internet. It was like a moron filter. It kept many of the people not ready for the internet off the internet.
    5
  148. So during the pandemic we couldn’t get TI power supply chips. We had to redesign boards and raise prices. we we even bought other pcbs just to pull chips off. If there was more domestic chip capacity then we could have charged our customers less keeping prices lower. so inflation would be lower if supply chains were more stable.
    5
  149. I think you have a different version of reality its going terribly for both Russia and the Ukraine. The US has lost basically zero soldiers while giving away some fairly old equipment. Also the Russian currency is worth almost nothing. I mean those pardoned convicts in wagner marched on Moscow. Thats not a sign of things going well
    5
  150. it cant be just software
    5
  151.  @timothymanning4246 what crap armored teslas?
    5
  152.  @austinhernandez2716 not like this
    5
  153. If trump wins and maybe even if he comes close. I am taking my family to a country that has better people in it. I don’t want them to grow up in a country that is ok with “the enemy within talk”. When people are cheering about a fat billionaire orange guy talking about rounding people up it’s time to go.
    5
  154. it is working on like half unfortunately
    5
  155.  @DuongLe-do3en  because trade wars suck and i run a manufacturing business. parts are now more expensive and selling to foreign buyers is also less profitable. Generally every single thing trump did is inflationary or stupid.
    5
  156.  @aSpaghettiMan Ok you mean a career politician that has been a senator of a massive state and vice president VS a game show host that has gone bankrupt multiple times and obviously is senile that somehow became president.
    5
  157. An icbm with no warhead is just a launch vehicle Everyone knows russia can make rockets.
    5
  158. when is hamas going to stop their random rocket attacks? Hamas which is the current goverment of gaza attacked then imediatly started to loose the war they restarted. Also even lousy rockets are expensive and hamas has lunched thousands. possibly if they spent some of the forien aid on food and medicine they would actually have some.
    5
  159. i really hope they don’t spend a dollar trying to get him back. They should just put out a warrant for his arrest then see if he turns up ever. Ideally they keep him.
    5
  160. yea his family wants nothing to do with his political campaign.
    5
  161.  @tacotacotacobajablast6821 most of that third is your social security
    5
  162. I buy electronic components. The suppliers are just adding a tariff markup to everything now regardless of where it comes from. They cant change prices every five minutes they stock millions of components.
    5
  163. thats completely nuts. USAID Biolabs is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
    5
  164. if russia had any intention of helping African people they wouldn’t by blockading Ukrainian grain shipments. Right now russia more than any other country is the reason people are hungry in africa.
    5
  165. who can arrest them?
    5
  166. Yea someone really needs to run this ad. Maybe a pac should do it so she can stay out of the blowback.
    5
  167.  @JH-zo5gk They Invaded Ukraine and did it badly. They were not backed into a corner and most of their border (which is huge) is not bordering nato. Maybe they should pay attention to their border with china. They have a-lot of resources in the far east that the chinese could use. …
    5
  168. I hate to say it and it IS tragic but Harris lost because she was a woman. She took positions that were in line with the American public. Almost all the positions that were her platform polled better than she did.
    4
  169. I think the lack of checks and balances in the supreme court is an oversight in the constitution.
    4
  170. why would Macron be there France is not in BRICS.
    4
  171. Joe Rogan is about to not bother voting.
    4
  172. this is way worse this is pure 1984
    4
  173.  @ryanaugustus  i bet trump didnt read his own book.
    4
  174. No because no one has allowed dc to become a state. So there is no state with jurisdiction.
    4
  175.  @christophbraunmuller6782  well your going to be disappointed because the president basically has almost no control over any of that. Maybe call a congressmen.
    4
  176.  @chuckbizzert9098 yea but his salary is artificially low because thats not how he makes money. he makes money by owning things
    4
  177. Yea Elon wasn’t so embarrassing / dangerous 4 years ago. I would walk there is no way I want to drive a 100k trump sign around that cant even tow far.
    4
  178. yup. Its not like they are going to re-allocate the money for Raytheon to school lunch programs.
    4
  179. Have you read what Hamas has written about its own stated goals? Also keep in mind many Israeli Jews are from the region so are not actually colonizers. (I am not saying Israeli policy hasn’t been terrible sometimes) Hamas doesn’t leave any room for negotiation. It is a problem with all bad outcomes. also most neighboring countries acting in bad faith for their own internal reasons.
    4
  180. I don’t understand why Egypt isn’t trying to do anything about this. Are they not loosing tons of money on the canal the longer this goes on?
    4
  181. meh RFK is crazy who knows
    4
  182. EXACTLY
    4
  183.  @JeikuAnimeReview then why was it done by “conservatives”
    4
  184.  @SW-lx2pf hypersonic drones are not a thing. you are thinking of icbms.
    4
  185. So I was thinking lets say a guy owned a bunch of failing casinos and golf courses. Maybe he needs a loan to get back to profitability. I mean he has expenses to cover like orange spray tan for example. He might take some loans from some eastern europeans that don’t care about his credit score.
    4
  186. So many texts SO many!!!

  187.  @Dianne-nj8dz that is russian propaganda
    4
  188. watch

  189. JVL I also hate the voters. The Idea that if you didn’t see it happen on TV it didn’t happen is killing me.
    4
  190. Being able to power a welder is pretty great.

  199. The stuff that people actually need , the stuff that is too expensive isn’t really the stuff that comes from china. The stuff that break peoples budget is: Rent , education, Healthcare , food. none of that comes from china. The food problem is mostly a price-fixing by US companies problem. Real-estate prices are being driven up by wall-street investors. Health care is expensive because of a bunch of reasons. We can address these problems right here. We should keep trading with china but there needs to be some rules and some reasonable tariffs. If we stop trading we will have no leverage. Also dishwashers and tvs will be super expensive if we stop.

  200.  @ВалентинПузыня its not that hard to stop a navy from landing troops across a sea. Taking a beach and landing troops and equipment is much harder then defending a beach. Especially if the sea is fill of attack subs.

  210. yea after trump undermines the Ukrainians he will have to do a podcast about little green men in Poland or some other former soviet border countries.
    4
  211. The dems that were racist voted for trump. and the republicans that hated trump didn’t vote at all.
    4
  212.  @shsh-he5qg The US isn’t fighting in Ukraine just delivering weapons. Also the Russians are the ones that couldn’t take Kiev even before the weapons deliveries started in quantity. The Russians were supposed to have the second best army on earth. The entire Russian federation failed to take Ukraine and is bleeding itself dry on a foolish lost cause.

  213. The electoral college is crazy. Basically my vote hasn’t mattered for decades while some one undecided voter can roll out of bed and on a whim go vote and change the course of history.

  225.  @JaneCurtright-zs1lr It might it depends on what you tariff and how much. My company uses parts from all over the world and assembles systems in the US. Raising the tariffs across the board will drive up inflation. Its better to selectively raise tariffs on goods that have an unfair pricing advantage.

  227.  @birdsgrove It wasn’t the Ukraine war that used most money. It was the boring every day stuff like medicare and social security. There have been too much tax cuts for the rich and upper middle class. Every administration wants to give tax cuts AND pay for more medicare and aircraft carriers ect. no one wants to pay the bill.

  228. they didn’t misinterpret yelling at zelinsky and pulling support from the ukrain was the plan all along. That mineral deal was meant to be unsignable. they needed the failure to be ukraines fault.

  241. there should absolutely be term limits.
    3
  242.  @donaldvescoso6799 yea but high across the board tariffs are different and usually bad. Go ask Argentina. Targeted tariffs to protect specific industries can be smart. The US is just not going to make every single part that goes into a car or a building or train or airplane. So the price will rise and people will scream inflation!
    3
  243.  @donaldvescoso6799  I have personally raised the price on things because of tariffs. because I have to pay more. Some parts come from the US but circuit board components come from all over the world.

    3
  270. I wish that they would have a separate audio track for bluerays and streaming where they turn up the audio tracks and turn the sound effects down. I know its not as cinematic but i want to watch tv without waking up my kid. Also if you want the cinematic sound you can select that option.

    3
  274. nah that guy will find a way to blame it on someone else.
    3
  275. The US still benefits from international trade especially since most of those transactions are in dollars and we print dollars. Its why we can run deficits without economic disaster. The taxes in the US are lower than they would otherwise be because of this situation.

  283. yea thats the other thing i was going to say.
    3
  284. Have you heard what trump says. All you have to do is play the clips of what he says. Also during trump thousands of Americans were dying per day while he said stupid crap like bleach and sunshine would fix covid. Trump sucked and he betrayed allies of the US remember the Kurds? Then he tried to ruin the post office just to make it harder to do mail in ballots. Right before he incited a riot and got cops beaten and killed. Trump was terrible and was lucky he didnt start a war by accident.
    3
  285. more than half the teamsters are watching Fox news. So no one would have told them that a biden policy saved their pensions. Another overlapping chunk of the teamsters are just not going to support a black woman for president ever.

  298. @totalhamasdeath Without the cumbersome bureaucracy and messy transparency and all that the US would have corruption problems just as bad as China. And even so its not like we don’t have any corruption its just more under control. The transparency and accountability is critical.

  334. Basically every time I see the words quantum , Multiverse , even nanotechnology I think BS and don’t even read it usually now. So there is a downside to this hype problem. (Also I used to review proposals for tech grants for a major institution so you can see the potential for harm). Potentially decent research ideas will be overlooked because reviewers are fatigued from wading through BS.
    2
  335. The dude that took his work laptop to russia to see his fiancé! What the heck. I remember friends of mine not getting clearance for some pot smoking in college. People even loose their CDL for failing a pee test for pot. Kinda looks like a giant double standard. Sure go visit your shady russian ‘fiancée’ with classified documentation but oh man don’t fail that stupid pee test!

  336.  @DK-ev9dg What was incompetent there was 80 mile an hour winds it was like a sideways blow torch.

  341. god i hope he actually has to use food stamps some day.
    2
  342. Seems like the presidential guard just locked the president in the basement or something. Also pretty sure the old president wasn’t french. Why does every one commenting here think the military is going to do a better job. The military was getting a large chunk of the western aid. why trust them more than the former president?
    2
  343. trumps first term seems like a quaint time of responsibility with qualified cabinet members now.
    2
  344. who cares about some corrosion when the city is burning down. Sure salt causes corrosion but you can do some maintenance later. I have used regular air tools while diving in the ocean and just wash them out later with WD40.

  351. This makes sense only if you ignore every naval engagement since like the 40s.
    2
  352. Tesla has a brand problem. Most people didn’t mind when Elon started to lean republican. When he was jumping around on stage with trump and plowing money into the election That became a new kind of problem. Now to drive a Cybertruck is like driving a giant trump yard sign around. Imaging if the president of Ford was jumping around on stage with Harris and paying Americans to vote democrat. It would kill their sales.
    2
  353. trump has nothing good to say about Philly ever. FDJT
    2
  354. I think one problem with the culture in the Chinese government and military is the penalty for failure is so high it encourages asscovering at all cost. Its hard to fix problems when officers are terrified of finding problems.

  355. Alot of people like me have almost no retirement so I can cheer the demise of private equity as I have nothing to loose.

  356. If the USA applies the same maritime law then It can just claim the entire Caribbean and rename it the South USA sea. I mean I'm sure no one will mind right? (I'm not saying the USA is a model of virtue and fairness)

  367. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 12. The DEA has been making my life difficult for 33 years. I have had pharmacies refuse to fill my prescription which is a very low dose many times. I have had them say that my prescription is fake. this is even though they have filled the same exact prescription every month for years. I take a less common med so it is hard to even find a drug store that carries it. So lots of times i would go months without meds. Oh and on top of that its expensive and I would have to make a Dr. appt EVERY month even though im not sick just to get the prescription only to then fight to get it filled. At least now that its not a paper prescription they don’t claim its fake half the time.

  368. Watching republican politicians repeat Russian propaganda just drives me nuts. Acting like traitors just to “Own the libs” and win a primary.

  370. they don’t have the infrastructure to refine the uranium. The price of un refined uranium ore is not very high and many of other countries have ore. So even if the new government takes 100% of the profits and distributes it perfectly fairly there isn’t going to be enough money.
    2
  371. yea nope he can do whatever he wants

  372.  @gnostic268 This was not n american Ship.

  373.  @gnostic268 For our economy to work ships need to get to their destinations most of the time.
    2
  374. the americans have 2 air bases and 1100 soldiers so there they should be able to leave when they decide to.
    2
  375. She might not be the perfect candidate but trump is a bad candidate in many many ways.
    2
  376. so you know how to make Putin stop invading?
    2
  377. under water bases are extremely vulnerable to sabotage so there is no military advantage. Think about it just one depth charge and its done.
    2
  378.  @mhall801 what is trump doing besides photo opps
    2
  379. No in order for the president to have a conflict of interest with US dollars in the bank. The president would have to be able to control the value of the Money. Which is hard for even a president. With crypto there are way more ways to grift.
    2
  380. libby and hoopla are great
    2
  381. i would just have avoided the plastic hubcaps all together. the wheel looks better without it
    2
  382. here is the thing I worked places in the 90s and cant find a picture of any of it. I guess there are social security records but at the end of the day WHO cares. Harris was not rich she could have worked at mcdonalds lots of people have. Social media is like a disease for democracy.
    2
  383. The treatment of women by the ruling family of UAE is appalling. Saudi Arabia is probably worse.
    2
  384. Bill Burr for president

  385. Last Jedi was complete garbage. So was rise of Skywalker.
    2
  386. I do hate the balance of performance part of the rules. If its a better car and complies with the rules it shouldn’t be penalized. Better is just better.
    2
  387. Outstanding!!
    2
  388. its DC you would need to go down a manhole and find it. Everything is buried.
    2
  389.  @jacksmith-mu3ee  in what war china and the US were on the same side in ww2 and Korea was basically a draw?
    2
  390.  @samueljaramillo4221  WHY because some one else put LIVE rounds in a prop gun? If some one built a balcony poorly and he walked on it and it fell on some one killing them would it be his fault or the shoddy carpenter
    2
  391.  @samueljaramillo4221  thats stupid if it was a star-wars blaster should he have checked the chamber then? what about a fake laser gun? Also Why were any live rounds on set?!?!
    2
  392. Also its a non-binding resolution. that doesn’t even mean anything the un does that like 50 times a day.
    2
  393. Elon cant tell whats true because he has been on speed for weeks and doesn’t sleep.
    2
  394.  @derrickjoe1872  you have all ready used that one.
    2
  395. you worked for USAID or was that some construction contract in the private sector that you are bringing up.?
    2
  396. Dick Cheney might have done permanent damage to the US and the middle east however he and Liz are not cowards.
    2
  397. most swifties are like 20 something
    2
  398. It really does seem that the IDF considers aid workers enemy combatants. The US should not provide the weapons for the targeting of our own aid workers.
    2
  399. campaign finance stuff is largely publicly available major trump donors where bankrolling his campaign.
    2
  400.  @trevorsutherland5263 Maybe but he almost never tells the truth.
    2
  401.  @BonsuBigWhale  really? when? Where? The violence is worse than ever. Im not seeing any evidence of it getting better no matter who is trying.
    2
  402. Yea but it wasn’t canada and was part of a war. The US didn’t need to avoid acts of war because it had already started a war. Its not a good comparison.
    2
  403.  @matt23866 You watched the press release he did with the bear thing right? Also he said a worm ate part of his brain and then died. yea lets just give him the nuclear football and control of the most powerful military ever to exist. It will be fine…
    2
  404. When you say libtard it really just convinces me you have serious and reputable opinions.
    2
  405. Fox is just trumps propaganda arm. Its nice for him because he doesn’t have to pay for it.
    2
  406.  @JLSMaytham  how does a hypersonic missile adjust targeting data for a moving target when its forward looking radar and communications are interrupted by the plasma cause by their high speed. Hypersonic missiles are garbage and made mostly for pr and intimidation.
    2
  407.  @ericjuanlava4734  the fighters on CAP are there to prevent enemy from slowly positioning itself all around the strike group. the enemy will not be able to sit there at their leisure launching missiles they will be busy trying hard not to die.
    2
  408. yea but i would say its terrible US policy / greedy international banks / French colonialism. most of the time the US just likes to pretend Haiti doesn’t exist.
    2
  409. Vance is bad at being a politician. Also he is gross.
    2
  410. fine you rep can being a bill to the floor then.
    2
  411. He even looks emo with that eyeliner
    2
  412. its pretty over
    2
  413. Its not really his fault Elon just completely screwed him for no reason other than elon wanted attention.
    2
  414. Trump is definitely in the Epstein files. He will probably have the documents destroyed.
    2
  415. worse probably
    2
  416.  @robbiekop7 India doesn’t want rubles either
    2
  417. ⁠ @martingooding8989  sure the US has made some really huge mistakes in the middle east and around the world. However many of the things it does are positive. Like foreign policy of every great power its complicated. Just as Chinas Africa policy is complicated. Beneficial and detrimental in different aspects. In the pacific the US is mainly interested enforcing uniform rules on use of international waters and freedom of navigation. If China gets its way it will cause significant problems with shipping in international waters. Also it really really really doesn’t want china to invade Taiwan. This would cause a world wide semiconductor crisis and cause huge supply chain problems like world economy crashing ones.
    2
  418. partly this is because of the type of cars that people in the US buy. People are buying 6000lb extended cab pickups with 400hp and complaining about it being expensive. People in the US need to buy more small cheap hatchbacks.
    2
  419. how is that? corruption is pretty bipartisan and court cases take forever.
    2
  420. Dude said a worm ate part of his brain. The main stream media didnt need to sabotage him he did it to himself with his own press releases.
    2
  421.  @whitethecolor369 Thats not why she saw the bear story too.
    2
  422. What democrats need to do is make republicans own EVERY crappy thing that their bad policy causes. Dems need to stop infighting and stick it to the man for 4 years. If they cant do that with trump and a gaggle of billionaires screwing workers and senior citizens then they need to get out of the game.
    2
  423. why the hell would Zelensky give up mineral rights if he cant be in nato and we are not sending troops to help.
    2
  424. trump waste the republican party’s time for 12 years. In the process nearly crashed america into the iceberg.
    2
  425. none of the centrist democrats were going to vote for him. If it was him or trump people like me just wouldn’t vote.
    2
  426.  @robertmacintosh8265 He is all over the place and totally unpredictable.
    2
  427. Harris won that debate easily. She baited him into spouting nonsense then let him dig himself into a hole. I cant think of anyone who has done better against him in a debate.
    2
  428. You would hate them no matter what they said. They have been talking about how the cost of housing and medical care have spiked in recent years. This does have to do with housing supply. Its not like there were no greedy companies in the 80s and 90s.
    2
  429. Here is the thing It does advocate for making career Govt employees into political appointees. So a president will be able to replace experts with toadies and suck ups. I know a bunch of people that have worked for the govt for years. They are experts and hard workers. We will all be much worse off once they are replaced by appointees and lackeys.
    2
  430. trump will dump vance right after the democratic convention in an attempt to steal the show.
    2
  431. they are measurably better human memory is lousy
    2
  432. 27 million people is not a small population for a country like Niger. I hope some one in the military does some accounting and runs the numbers before making any big decisions.
    2
  433. All of New York state only has 19 million people. Niger has 27 million people to support but very little infrastructure almost no rain and not much skilled labor and one of the highest birth rates in the world. Maybe kicking out the French mining company will help some I have no idea. Much more than that will need to be done to support that many people.
    2
  434. no he wont
    2
  435. not weird fun but weird gross
    2
  436. you might need more than a petition.
    2
  437. Im 46 I doubt I will live long enough. Much of this coming damage will be permanent.
    2
  438. Why would anyone assume that Elon has their best interests in mind. Elon only EVER has his own best interest in mind.
    2
  439. you mean when russia annexed part of the ukrain
    2
  440. cant have elon he was born in south africa.
    2
  441. It is amazing you can go through warton and not know how tariff work and who pays
    2
  442. old people seem to also have forgotten
    2
  443. ok out of curiosity do normal republicans or never trumpers still like Ayn Rand?
    2
  444. I mean Elon is crazy but not a failure. Buying twitter wasn’t done for money. It was a flex. He is nuts.
    2
  445. of course you can but no one will take you seriously unless you have an actual reason. (and no the vp isnt in charge of border security)
    2
  446. its a-lot easier to say than to do its not like you can just dump truckloads of cash at the pier an everything will just be ok.
    2
  447. The congress is the legislature and it is in charge of appropriations. It is also the only part that makes laws. USAID was created by an act of congress so it just as “constitutional” as any other agency. The congress can eliminate it but not some random billionaire advisor.
    2
  448. Don’t invade other countries and that might happen
    2
  449. For accessing a SCIF and classified data of an independent federal agency without appropriate clearance. Oversight of spending is confessional duty not random consultants.
    2
  450. they dont care move fast an break things is their motto. 99 percent of the time it will be ok except for when its not.
    2
  451.  @DaveSchultzXXL  not if you work for USAID or NOAA. I know people that already got fired for nothing.
    2
  452. The minimum pay for “exceptional” foreign workers is 60k. 60k is not what you pay an exceptional engineer in the US. The tech bros just don’t want to pay workers what they’re worth.
    2
  453. none of the worlds most powerful militaries are in the ICC so that isn’t really surprising.
    2
  454. From a European politician perspective I think that what the french government is afraid of is Instability causing famines. They are afraid that mass migration from north Africa will cause political problems in Europe. Then they loose re-election. Sure protecting interest in the mine is part of it but I think the bigger fear is political fallout from regional instability. The French, Nigeria , ecowas and USA are trying to figure out the least bad option individually.
    2
  455. ok how is the high inflation and broken government helping you out?
    2
  456. Why because he should surrender when invaded?
    2
  457.  @azurebadger No his father and uncle were not Anti vaccine activists the made up and cherry picked science to back their beliefs. JFK was not at all an isolationist. in what way would they ever agree?
    2
  458. no it wouldn’t fix anything the only thing people care less about than other peoples kids is teachers.
    2
  459.  @adrix2007 Argentina had totally different problems
    2
  460. She doesn’t need to make elon look bad he does that himself. If he doesn’t want the debt limit raised then why did elon approve of the second deal with the debt limit increase that failed to pass?
    2
  461.  @Jay-bk5sl  The French economy will definitely not collapse but maybe Macron will have some political problems.
    2
  462. i don’t understand how would NATO free SA?
    2
  463. A year or two ago I still would have bought a tesla. Now with him trying to buy votes and jumping around on stage with trump I just couldn’t.
    2
  464.  @CobeGt-07 millions a day is chump change in international trade
    2
  465. good luck getting that past Kash Patel.
    2
  466. cell phone that you charge any where you can.
    2
  467. I have done wildlife documentary shooting on and under the ocean. I cant even imagine shooting a Hollywood style movie with sets on the open ocean. The Ocean is spectacular at breaking things. Just salt water alone without the weather ruins everything. Even dumb things like tripods. One time I did this 15 day project and i brought 3 hand held “waterproof” GPS. By the last day I had zero working gps and was trying to use my cell phone in a ziplock bag to figure out where the hell i was.
    2
  468. There are tons of electric cars near me and everything is fine. Sure in rural areas there will probably be a good percentage gas / diesel trucks / cars for a while longer but that is ok. I dont care if everyone in north Dakota is driving an f150 because there are more people in a neiborhood here than all of north Dakota.
    2
  469. my pet rock makes more sense than trump and also is less orange
    2
  470. The secret service generally doesnt accidentally let people into the oval office. She would have to be issued credentials at the gate and it would have been checked several times before she got close.
    2
  471. it does seem like the pagers are for giving Iranian orders
    2
  472. or maybe he is exactly the same and you are loosing it sticking up for Elon. When you watch Indiana Jones who do you think the good guys are?
    2
  473. so you think the president playing around in the shady crypto markets is a good thing?
    2
  474. those million jobs are really good paying jobs too. Its not like loosing a job as a wall-mart greeter.
    2
  475. maybe russia will start trying to coerce some of our formerly employed government officials that are now loosing their homes.
    2
  476. They are usually housed in super rugged containers probably could survive re-entry
    2
  477. Zeihan doesn’t know anything about logistics or shipping. this cargo has dropped 99percent is complete rubbish.
    2
  478. I don’t think i could respect Kinzinger more right now.
    2
  479.  @jerichostevens2711 i just filled the tank and it was 3.70 for regular. not saying there is no inflation. Its just not that bad yet.
    2
  480.  @RamsesTheFourth We used to pay 6000 dollars a month for 1 megabit. Now starlink is between 50 and a couple hundred. Its a big difference. Also allot faster. Think about spending a couple months on a ship. Now you can video call your kid every day and its no big deal.
    2
  481.  @wedgeantilles8575  yea but they are asking for everything. The US has a giant air force and its not like the army is getting rid of all the tanks.
    2
  482. there is tons of images and video
    2
  483. Yea she went nuts. She sounded like she was having a psychotic break.
    2
  484. White americans ON snap benefits will vote against snap benefits if they think black people will get benefits. Gee I wonder why she lost.
    2
  485. Why do all you republicans want to sit around an comment on the Ezra Kline show. Oh i forgot most of you get paid for it.
    2
  486. My impression is that the fire was so fast and the wind was so loud that it drowned out sirens. Also I think the cell towers were so rapidly destroyed that it undermined the warnings.
    2
  487. probably will try but not very hard it depends on people like Banon and Stephen Miller so I would say the outlook is not good.
    2
  488. My bad didnt putin just run to saint Petersburg to get away from Wagner. I didn’t see Zelenskyy running. Maybe more comedians need to be president.
    2
  489. The problem is big companies have been acquiring all the small companies for decades. It is almost impossible to break in as a small company the big ones just have too many advantages so they set the market price and pay their already rich share holders well.
    2
  490. Yea I was super disappointed when he got involved in twitter. I used to wish i had tried to go work for spaceX or tesla. Then he got super political and started to throw it all away. Now he is pouring money into right wing political campaigns and trolling people on his personal social media company. Its just so disappointing.
    2
  491. this re-write would have made it so much better. I dont think the last Jedi could be fixed. Also the rise of Skywalker is pretty much hopeless.
    2
  492. just hate free speech don’t you
    2
  493. nope he was busy thinking of ways to undermine americas allies.
    2
  494. your joking right?
    2
  495.  @DanielleRussell-kz5fn  some of them are smart. Unfortunately they are sociopaths.
    2
  496. they could get on a cruise ship and go to Antarctica. and find that there is no guards or mile high Ice walls but most conspiracy theorist are not about to pit effort into proving themselves wrong.
    2
  497. Sure since they have nukes do they just get to do whatever want? many countries have nukes.
    2
  498. yea at my daughters school cafeteria it was 100percent microwave tv dinners in blister packs.
    2
  499. unfortunately most of them will just blame immigrants no matter what happens
    2
  500. Elon would have trouble getting confirmed for a real appointment because he has so many defense contracts.
    2
  501. I think that African nations should act in their best interest. However ruling out trade / investment in the US would be a mistake. The US is the largest market for products in the world. Also It will be hard to make good deals with china if you deal with them exclusively. Russia doesn’t have the capital at this point.
    2
  502. you are either russian or just nuts
    2
  503. He is not a democrat.
    2
  504. Wait till these 20 year old script kiddies meet the real hackers.
    2
  505. yea good luck with that. he has the secret service and the entire DOD.
    2
  506. I wish GM was more committed to making useful series hybrids and EVs like the bolt and volt. I dont need an electric hummer and people that like hummers are not going to buy an EV.
    2
  507. nonsense like those baby boomers in florida care about anyone else?
    2
  508. Oaths mean less than nothing to liars
    2
  509. If you are a small or medium sized contractor getting paid late can be a huge problem. You can bet that people elon doesn’t like will get paid super late. I was a partner in a small engineering firm one time the government paid us 11 months late. So that means I had paid supplier 150k. I had to lend my business 40k and I didn’t get paid for 5 months. This is what will happen to companies elon doesn’t like. Except payments will be years late.
    2
  510. oh he will cut nasa science. He will then give all the money to space x
    2
  511. I agree the Luke back story was insulting garbage. I think the writers did really hate the original movies.
    2
  512.  @张驰昊-o2q Just because they were from mainland China doesn’t mean that the mainland has some automatic right to rule the Taiwan people. Taiwan doesn’t want to be ruled and they saw what happened in Hong Kong.
    2
  513. It’s all ready done. Elon controls the treasury payment system. He has locked USAID workers out of their own office. Even though Article 1 of the constitution say that congress controls the budget. The AG controls the US marshals. Trump controls the DC national guard. So who is going to enforce the law and let those Government employees into their own office? The same thing can be done to any other agency. Unless the public throws a fit Trump controls every branch of govt no one is going to enforce the constitution.
    2
  514. Where Adam said that the violence of of the hamas incursion was beyond the pale is a huge problem. The image of hamas fighters intentionally gunning down women and children and taking hostages is indelible now. Like Adam said it was so horrific that it scrambled formerly moderate peoples points of view. The people that would have pushed for a more balanced Israeli response are now radicalized or sidelined. I cant imagine how any of this is going to ever be resolved now. There are no good options for anyone involved.
    2
  515. Yea there needs to be a higher pay floor so that the companies don’t take advantage of the foreign employees . The companies have unfair leverage that allows them to pay less and make them work extra long hours.
    1
  516.  @johnmahutga4478  The US has lower inflation than any other major economy right now. Also the VP is not the president. Did anyone ever ask trumps vp what his fiscal policy was? Also trumps plan is an absolute disaster that will make inflation much worse.
    1
  517. yea but its the absolute worst kennedy

  518. the weapons the terrorists have i would be are old soviet weapons or knockoff they are everywhere. The government of Niger doesn’t actually control the whole country or its borders so the weapons are going to get in.

  530. he doesnt care. the color of their skin is all he needs to know.

  531. The average PCB we would make would have about 500 parts these come from all over the world. So tariffs definitely increased my cost of operating.

  532.  @jayesh12v  Assassinating other nations citizens can cause wars. Yes the US did it in Iraq and Afghanistan. That was a war. I don’t think anyone wants India to be at war with canada so India needs to not go around killing Canadians in canada.

  543.  @outkast187 thats BS pelosi did not unlock anything. And no fbi was involved because it isn’t their job. Deluding yourself does not help. Trump incited a riot on purpose. Its not complicated. Only capital police were between the protestors and the congress. They are a small force.

  557. Just saying musk is bad at business or is dumb is not accurate. SpaceX which is privately held is of unbelievable strategic importance to the USA. They are absolutely peerless at this point. The Star link system is capable of sending data anywhere on earth 1000s of times faster than any other satellite network. Also starlink sats could probably be used to deny even nations access to space. So Musk seeming to go crazy during the pandemic should concern everyone.

  558. the CIA is not canadian

  559. well more tax cuts for the top 10% will fix it right?

  561. Trump is running around with literally the richest guy alive.and fox is pretending like he is not the establishment.
    1
  562. yes but trump controls pam bondi and the justice dept.
    1
  563. he has the backing of a president who controls all tree branches of government. The only recourse is midterms if they let you vote.
    1
  564. Trump he does lie inflation in the same speech.

  565. bot

  566. He pulled apart trumps statements because they were garbage. Harris kept it together trump just blew it.

  568. The american public is completely incapable of critical thinking. Also thanks for sending us your religious extremist for like 500 years! That might have something to do with it.

  569. the exit polls were also not good

  570.  @shanedaley6236  she was a senator and sponsored bills. you van look up her senate voting record on google
    1
  571.  @saintjabroni  she was not in any way in charge of the southern border
    1
  572.  @paulaitix77 i did she was on the ticket as VP
    1
  573.  @vparakhin yea because she was VP no one pays atention to the vp
    1
  574.  @Hautehead13 she won a state wide senate race she wasn’t appointed to that. She won a vote to be AG. your just racist.
    1
  575.  @mmeduvennet3316 she wasn’t the border tsar. That is just what fox calls her
    1
  576.  @mmeduvennet3316 what was that because the VP has literally no authority over the border.
    1
  577.  @TheBobbyolsen stop watching fox she wasnt in charge of the border.
    1
  578.  @whatweshouldknow5648 VPs mostly dont do anything unless the break the rules like Dick

  579.  @MarkSmithhhh  your just racist no one called pence a dei hire. No one wondered what he was doing.

  580.  @Browncoatful um you think california is going to go red? yea OK good luck with that
    1
  581. Yea OK… its Ezra and his wife they are the problem. They are discussing whey the models that have been used in the past don’t work. They don’t own businesses or set wages. Also most reporters don’t get paid that much lately. You could make more being an Electrician. or an oil worker. so this blame the “liberal elite” might make you feel better but wont get you anywhere.
    1
  582. This thing is definitely not a nuclear warhead in space. It doesn’t gain Russia any new capabilities that it doesn’t have already. It is probably an anti Satellite system powered by an RTG or mini reactor. They probably just need reliable electrical power without a bunch of panels. Setting off a nuclear weapon in orbit its just as likely to create shrapnel that ruins Chinese and russian space assets.
    1
  583. Also the pay raise is a cost of living raise its like 6k so YAY budget balanced!

  584. Ahh their eating dogsss blahhhh!

  585. so you love trump but decided to waste an hour of your life listening to political scientists that used to work in the Obama administration?
    1
  586. Trump is going Sh!t bricks if the price of gas goes down.
    1
  587. I think its brain drain. If you were an aerospace engineer capable of doing bleeding edge research. Would you stay in russia? It looks like no one wanted to admit it wasn’t ready and they flew it anyway.
    1
  588. honestly though the electricity part is not necessarily bad. There would be almost no heat signature to mask and you don’t have to charge it that often. The problem is every thing else its not a Bradley its not armored.
    1
  589. I get that we are in a liberal bubble but how do we fix it. How do we prevent this place from banana republic with a president for life.
    1
  590. The trump administrations executive branch is in control of the most powerful military / police apparatus ever. They have been renditioning people to a Salvadorian hell prison. So yea actually going up against them directly is just a bit scary. Im not saying that we shouldn’t fight but it may cost the people do everything.
    1
  591. its too bad that the washington post is loosing subscribers. Bezos doesn’t care about washington post profits. If you want to piss Bezos off you need to boycott AWS or amazon.

  592. the prometheus plot was complete garbage I was super disappointed. they had good actors and a ton of money and still blew it. why the hell were they wandering around without helmets. nothing made any sense at all.
    1
  593. The Idea that the left is running the democratic party is absurd. The DNC moved to the center big time.
    1
  594. There isn’t going to be big tax on unrealized capital gains because no one can figure out how to do it without breaking the financial system. Closing some loopholes is what is actually possible.

  595. What because they said the Haitians are not eating cats? give me a break.

  596. I had to fix the pack on a 2018 Volt and it definitely had cold plates full of antifreeze between every couple batts. It has supe stable temperature but it does look somewhat expensive.

  597. How is the weather in russia?
    1
  598. yup
    1
  599.  @ponetastic yea but the ICBMs are sub orbital. That said I’m sure that the the Soyuz could put some kind of big nuke in space. Its just that its kinda dumb.
    1
  600.  @GrandSolarEclipse yea maybe china is rising Russia not so much. Russia had an economy the size of Italy before they invaded Ukraine and wasted all the lives and money.
    1
  601. yea I guess that twitter guy gets to decide who humanity includes.
    1
  602.  @icarussisyphus  Really what country is doing better? The US prints the world reserve currency. China has its own financial problems. Russia is cut off financially. Inflation is higher everywhere outside of the US. You are either a depressed old man or a foreign propagandist.
    1
  603. Yea me either but he is the richest guy on earth and owns a president.
    1
  604. I think the US govt hiring process handicaps its ability to hire the types of people that are good at human intelligence. Also part of what make the US govt less corrupt and more transparent than others makes it terrible at this kind of intelligence. I mean Im not complaining I would prefer the the US govt over the russian govt one million percent of the time.

  605. trump is “bloated fat and disgusting “ its all projection

  606. she has 8 kids ! Im thinking of this Mike Judge movie from 2006…… oh nevermind

  607.  @ericmartin9232  yea thats not what happened. It was just a couple years ago I still remember.

  608. Thats not how macro economics works when you print the world’s reserve currency.
    1
  609. Are you kidding elon never admits when he is wrong. he even lies about playing video games and things that are not worth lying about. Also when he bought twitter it was like he didn’t even read the contract. He isnt tony Stark he is just another billionaire ahole
    1
  610. If they start stealing citizens off the street and sending them to a foreign prison without charge or due process there will be no choice. If the administration doesn’t like you they will just declare you a “terrorist” and disappear you. The public will have to rise up at that point or the rights of citizens will be meaningless.
    1
  611. Why elon Lies constantly.
    1
  612.  @wmc9722 his point is rich baby boomers like you are an out of touch ownership class. you just own things and people have to pay you. Some people actually have to do work. Land lords wine about liability and insurance and taxes from vacation all while some one that is delivering you packages or pouring concrete is going though a bottle of aspirin so they can get back to work.

  613. no one is going to care on this one the theater people that actually go see wicked are not going to care.

    1
  616. no you didn’t
    1
  617.  @JoePackJoeNC we were not being a bank by providing intelligence. Those satellites are all ready up there. Also it is much cheaper to stop russia in germany than in Poland.
    1
  618. Trump is afraid of elon. He wont do anything.
    1
  619. The other thing they could have wanted was the signals intelligence that would be gleaned from the targeting radar of a F22. We should have shot it down with a museum piece like a f104. I would have done nothing then floated a balloon over China.
    1
  620. The DNC does not condone riots. The RNC seems to approve of an attack on the capitol thats the difference.
    1
  621. its super dumb if we want a sec def that can do the most pushups we should be nominating 20 year old athletes since they can do way more pushups than hegseth.
    1
  622. those NIH studies were BS. They were trying not to find anything. Taking a scan doesn’t show that kind of damage so of course they didn’t find anything. They would have to autopsy people to find the evidence. If the US government isn’t going to protect its own employees out of political convenience its pretty shameful.
    1
  623. If trump is not traitor then the word traitor doesn’t mean anything. Jan 6th was when he showed that he wasn’t just a scumbag but a traitor.
    1
  624. Why doesn’t vance just say something he likes. wtf is wrong with him. he could say anything like waffle houses or pizza or beer or whiskey or women. anything would have been better. Dogs frisbee football whatever?
    1
  625. I bet most will just follow orders. Being courtmartialed sucks I hear.
    1
  626. I think it would be possible to deflect a 100meter diameter asteroid. In the 60s the russians made a 100 megaton bomb (the yeild in the test was only half that but if it was set up for it it could probably do 100). So that is about 4.2E17 joules wich is close to the kinetic energy of a 100meter meteroite. And it only has to be deflected. If you put the largest thermonuclear bomb on a heavy lift launcher I think it could work. Also we could do that like a bunch of times. Several currently existing heavy lift launchers could deliver large h-bombs to mars or further.
    1
  627. I really hope Moore is right. Im not sure republican women are going to turn out for Harris. I don’t understand why the polls would be so wrong.

  628. what if their actual android is compromised and there is a program capturing screenshots. then it wont matter if signal is compromised or not.
    1
  629.  @bigal4334  sure but trump is lazy and almost everyone that worked on the document worked for trump. They will work for trump again. this is what they will try to do. Since the republicans control the supreme court it will happen.
    1
  630.  @Letmedoubt  yea but everyone that wrote it worked for trump
    1
  631. the ones that did are gone.

  632. Space X is getting these contracts because everyone else is dropping the ball. Would you prefer Boeing get the contract? ULA is running super late on their new rocket. Nasa gave Boeing a ton of money and got nothing. Elon does need to stop tweeting. He should never have bought twitter. This podcast doesn’t compare tesla to its competitors. GM has done awful job with electric cars. Toyota doesn’t even want to get into the market.
    1
  633. I wont try to defend twitter / X its a dumpster fire. I think pandemic and twitter drive him nuts.
    1
  634. so we will be able to make the power lines way more expensive harder to repair and sometimes explode when everything isnt perfect. 👍
    1
  635. People seem to forget how trump tried to cripple Ukraine’s defense before russia invaded. Every one should remember trump was getting those briefs about the buildup for the war.
    1
  636. I hope there are enough people in the NTSB to finish the report.
    1
  637. definitely but the Biden family already got a ton of attention and they didn’t find that joe was involved in his adult sons business dealings or profits. This guy is screwed because he and his wife were receiving the actual money. they also have emails were he details doing favors for foreign nations. I think menedez had actual gold bars in his house!!
    1
  638. If Zelinski had completely had completely laid down and sucked up to trump it would just hurt him in Ukraine and Europe. Trump was going to betray him no matter what he did.
    1
  639. Im a democrat and even I don’t think the US govt should have to pay for IVF. The republicans need to get their house in order so we can have reasonable policy debates. there needs to be some balance.
    1
  640. The problem with carvilles plan is It make democrats look super weak. I think Bernie is right. You have to stick up for the people. Americans need to see you try.
    1
  641. There has been a significant drop in the quality and integrity of american voters as of late. America gets the president they deserve and unfortunately the world is caught in the crossfire.
    1
  642. Elon will rank all the contractor receivers of government payments based on “loyalty”. contractors that don’t pass elon’s purity test will not get paid. Just like Russia.

  643. Trump has never personally gone grocery shopping in his life as he was a born multimillionaire.

  648. almost all the billionaires are chicken. Except for Mark Cuban.

    1
  650. no it doesn’t elon just doesn’t know how to read a spreadsheet
    1
  651. yea so you got your talking points from trump on twitter. Harris has a great laugh. I don’t think i have ever seen trump actually laugh. Its weird what kind of person never laughs?
    1
  652. China has been doing a pretty good job winning hearts and minds in Africa. I would say that it would be a stretch to say its regarded as the hero in south east Asian countries . Half those countries have relations with the US just for protection so they don’t he annexed.
    1
  653. Also it with all the blatantly pro Russian garbage this colonel is dishing out It would be interesting to see if he is collecting “consulting fees” from any foreign sources. While it wouldn’t be illegal I think he would have to register as a foreign agent i think.
    1
  654. I think he is great but this is america and i’m not sure he can get the votes. I hope I’m wrong.

  655. Putin has Tools and enemies. I wonder which one Elon is?
    1
  656. the checks and balances were always weak and depended on the executive branch enforcing the laws made by the house and senate. Trump controls all the enforcement.

  659. What part is BS ? The shipping companies are lying about being fired at and taken hostage?

  662. If i was the Ukrainians I would also want the nord stream pipeline out of commission. There was a serious chance that the European countries would have undermined sanctions to keep importing Russian gas. The Ukrainians were loosing thousands of people and being shelled constantly.
    1
  663. that is the stupidest thing i have ever heard. Swift has more money than the Harris or Trump campaign. Neither can afford her. Also it would come out in the campaign finance audits. They audit every campaign every time.
    1
  664. If they had we would probably be living in a post apocalyptic hellscape by now.
    1
  665. You done making up fake outrage. Trump curses and swears about Harris supporters every rally. Then claims we traffic children and calls us the enemy from within. He rants about how he is going to use the army to go after his political enemies. So have a good time with your manufactured outrage it doesn’t come off as hypocritical at all. I mean one 80 year old man miss speaking is the same as all that stuff trump did on purpose right?
    1
  666. pam bondi is owned by trump
    1
  667. nothing about this has anything to do with democrats or republicans
    1
  668. first of all most of that money gets spent in the US which is the main supplier of most of the weapons which sustains jobs all over the US. Also the house republicans are trying really hard to NOT solve the border issue so trump can campaign on it. Think hard about why you want to leave a US ally high and dry when they need it the most. Maybe it’s just because trump hates the Ukraine and zelensky for purely personal political reasons.
    1
  669. Its a lunatic conversation because I wouldn’t let someone like RFK within 1 mile of any kids.

  670.  @Meathead-10810 Zelinsky is not a puppet the US put in charge the Ukrainians did and his Ukrainian approval rating is much higher than Trumps is in the US right now.

  671. No thats not true at all they just sunk a ship going from russia to india.

  672. the Mv tutor was a greek owned ship taking russian coal to india. You can look it up. It had nothing to do with the US or israel.

    1
  677. yea the staff turnover thing isn’t going anywhere

  678. If a US naval ship gets sunk it will be because Chinese or Russians are pretending to be Houthi’s and firing modern anti ship missiles.

  679. The whole branding problem got a LOT worse when the CEO started buying votes for one political party over the other. Imagine if the ceo of toyota did that.

  680. Only if the usa wanted to waste the lives of its soldiers at the same time as undermining most of its foreign policy and alienate its self.
    1
  681. not really. The reason Elizabeth homes got in trouble is her tech was fake. Tesla and SpaceX are superior to their competition and sell actual products.
    1
  682. Hey is only pandering to russia because he went nuts during covid. He has so many star-link satellites he has nothing to worry about. Additionally the star link satellites have ion engines and can change their orbits allot. Honestly the starlink network is the safest.

  683. You think Trump who stored documents classified Top secret in a bathroom in Marlago Is good for national security?

  684. Overall you were right the first time It was sexism and racism.

  685. I think this time it is not oil.

  686. You think Elon is a good guy?!
    1
  687. yea but if it wasn’t for people over the age of 60 Trump wouldn’t be president

  689. she probably did destroy her career however she will at least will be able to sleep at night.

  690. The French should take the former president Bazoum and his family with them. I think Macron is friends with the former president and its personal. In return Bazoum resigns and France finds somewhere else to put its troops. The coup leaders may not have been elected but they do seem to have control of the country and military.
    1
  691. I think like said what masked the inflation earlier is the price of electronics clothes and food had gone down.
    1
  692. trump just makes up numbers the are different from one speech to the next.
    1
  693. Elon is extremely dangerous. Much more dangerous than trump himself. No one voted for Elon but he will have incredible control over the trump administration.
    1
  694. No he wont he will go suck-up to strong man leaders and get nothing done just like before.
    1
  695. Trump and miller Have been saying super racist stuff for years. i guess Madison square garden just made people pay attention?
    1
  696. either Trump has the worst campaign managers in the world. Or he didn’t listen at all. Why would he go to this convention. How did they think it was going to go?
    1
  697. that dude that got fired doesn’t know how AI works. Which probably led to his firing.
    1
  698. Trumps tweet is just senile and elon is the boss of everything i guess.

  699.  @edwardfletcher7790 not anymore they have got alot better lately.
    1
  700. whoever is protecting Zelensky is doing an awesome job. I cant believe he is still alive being only a couple hundred miles from russia.
    1
  701. This is all probably true of office workers however. Many jobs involve actually physically doing work. Which means none of that is relevant. I also noticed that all the upper managers are working from home and need status updates because they don’t show up so cant see for themselves. It makes sense for programers and customer support people to work from home less so for other people.
    1
  702.  @mushios  biden doesn’t just send money to places that is congress. Also it was republicans that voted against more FEMA funding. Ask Matt Gaetz about it he voted against fema funding then took off early.
    1
  703. How is that? It has been the Biden administration that has transferred the most wepons to Taiwan. It has also been the biden administration that basically ended that ambiguity and Stated that we would intervene on Taiwans behalf. Do some research.

  704. The MHS Genesis is self sabotage.

  708. Was it the democrats blocking those aid bills?

  709. Trump didn’t actually offer an actual deal. He said give me all your minerals for the weapons that the last administration all-ready delivered. Then offered NO security guarantees in return.
    1
  710. I always could call the Gulf of Mexico whatever the hell I wanted it isn’t even a thing.
    1
  711.  @garyo5768  yea but when Trump tariffed imports then other countries tariffed our exports which made american agricultural products less competitive internationally. Then Trump used deficit spending to give the farmers subsidies so they wouldn’t go bankrupt. Tariffs are a double edged sword and they always raise prices on consumers. However sometimes it’s worth it to protect a vulnerable industry.

  712. Can you imagine how much money is being skimmed by the Insurance companies and the POC companies that skim on drug deliveries.

  715. Because everyone should listen to some random billionaire that has never been in any wars.
    1
  716.  @99.8Survivor yea ok it wasn’t biden that played around with tariffs in the stupidest possible way and began to crash the stock market. Biden didn’t fire thousands if workers from the VA. Trump is now getting Ukrainians killed for no reason by withholding intelligence we all-ready have. Thats not saving money is BS.

  719. I live near DC and the latency for internet is so low its getting reported as zero sometimes. Withs speeds as fast as i can pay for. that is mostly just because we are near major original trunk lines of the internet. Im pretty sure we are about to have other problems seeing as our courts have decided that our president has immunity from anything. what could go wrong.

  743. Yea I own a small robotics company. We make submersible underwater robotic equipment for government funded scientists as well as TV and film. There is no way I can buy the parts 100 percent in the US. Also Maga appointees will probably defund NOAA so i will likely just wind down the company and get a real job.

  747. there has not been a coup in the USA. The military never tried to remove the elected president. An ex president did provoke a dangerous riot/ insurrection but it was protestors fighting police.

  751.  @TaylorsLady  Its the republican house and senate that are being cowards. Last time at USAID the security officers were fired or put on leave. The FBI is being gutted. The Security apparatus for enforcement is controlled by the president.

  758. Space x put as much mass in orbit as pretty much every other company on earth put together. Also without tesla electric cars would still be getting mothballed every 5 years. So feel free to hate Elon but he isnt a dumb guy. He is terrible at public speaking. He is bad with people. He is also super weird. But not like your average silicon valley tech bro.

  773. That doesn’t mean congress cant change the rules and pay out less. Its no some magic “lock box” full of your money.

  779. The cartels in Mexico are a huge problem but the smart fix for the problem is to gradually pivot manufacturing from china to central America. If there are more good paying jobs in central america people wont flee north. Also if people are paying taxes in mexico the Mexican government will have more resources to deal with the cartels. reducing the need for the cartels is easier than fighting them.

All of this is about detergence Its all about making sure that everyone KNOWs for sure that a nuclear war cant be won. Chinese leaders have been rational and will act in their own best interest so everything should be OK.

  788.  @joey3291 none of that matters what matters is forcible re-unification is very unpopular with the public in Taiwan so they are going to elect leaders that prevent takeover by China. I think China squashing of all dissent in Hong Kong probably didn’t help public opinion in Taiwan.

  796. Bernie and Walz should team up. Bernie will be too old to be president but not too old to force the democrats to do their jobs. If democrats don’t win in midterms there might not be real elections in 2028.

  815. Ok and Biden somehow controls the housing supply.

  816. Also the Elon treasury thing undermines the credibility of the government entirely. I run an engineering firm. Government contracts were all-ready a pain because of the accounting overhead. Now how after i have spent my own money on a government funded project can I count on reimbursement. I will not in future take government contracts unless I have no other options. It usually takes forever to get paid in normal times now who knows ….

  822. USAID does a ton of good things. They helped prevent ebola from coming to the US and a whole lot of other things. There is NO large organization or business or agency with no fraud. Fighting was fraud and abuse is a full time job of auditors. It shouldn’t be done random fake tweet. I bet the amount of waste in the pentagon budget exceeds the entire USAID budget.
    1
  823. The US government doesn’t need the Ukraine to launder money. The US govt controls the most important reserve currency in the world. It is in their military strategic interest that the Russian government wastes its military resources on an un-winnable war though.
    1
  824. project 2025 is more likely to actually happen because the democratic party is so risk adverse that they cant find a candidate that is not the oldest ever to run. polls and focus groups have been saying this is a problem for YEARS. Honestly I wouldn’t have voted for Biden in the primary if i thought he was going to run again when he was 81. remember when he was going to be a “bridge to the next generation” im middle aged now and everyone in positions of actual power is 30 years older. Didn’t everyone see pelosi step down? She has done a great job. However Hakeem has also done a great job. Acting like there is no other person on earth can do a job is delusional.

  833.  @EtherealBias Because the Russians committed tons of war crimes raped pillaged and murdered last time they got anywhere near the capital. The Ukrainians who are fighting and dying are the ones that get to say when they are done fighting to save their families from brutal russian occupation. Apparently the spray tan draft dodger in chief has decided he likes putin better and we will completely betray US allies. You know it would have been easier to betray europe but apparently back then our leaders were not cowards and sellouts.

  858. that is what auditors are for. Elon and 5 random 20 year old engineers are not doing that they are cherry picking budget line items out of context and making things up and posting it on twitter. Also USAID is 0.6 percent of the budget.

    1
  874. I think the ITAR lists DO need to be updated. There are some really antiquated things on those lists. It puts US engineering firms in a uniquely disadvantaged position. Im not saying stop ITAR but some of these things like submersible ROV thrusters were invented in the 60s and ANYONE can make one. Its a motor in a can full of oil with a propellor sticking out. The market isn’t that big so you really don’t want to sell just to the US. This is especially true because the us government doesn’t want to bother unless you are an ordained by lobbyists PRIME contractor. PRIME contractors are like Boeing. they are large and ossified and basically incapable of innovation. They only have innovative products because companies like mine cant sell stuff and have to convince a PRIME contractor to acquire them. At which point the entire drive to produce innovative products is gone.

  886. he seems great its unfortunate that the entire midwestern and white working class is about to vote for the trump / vance ticket and probably straight republican. Its not going to go so well for unions after 4 years of that. Everyone that would vote different moves to the coast. then because of the electoral college their vote basically doesn’t count. Its not like NY or MA is a swing state.

  887. What a bunch of absolute cowards the republican congress is Elon tells them what to do now with late night tweets. At least in russia the oligarchs have to threaten the government official to get what they want. In the US they just roll over.

Trump threatened to primary republicans that voted for it. Most of musks Ketamine fueled rant was completely incorrect. When was the last time you heard the Ceo of Lockheed send out bogus tweets and get in the middle if congressional appropriations! Elon IS a defense contractor he personally gets billions of tax payer funds. It is the most wildly corrupt situation I can think of outside of russia.

  953. Even if Elon was a perfect brilliant and morally virtuous person there is a problem with one person having this much power. It is easy for bad actors to threaten one man.

The chinese navy might have more ships but the US navy has better and more tonnage and much better subs. Also 11 of the most advanced nuke powered aircraft carriers. Would the US loose a-lot yes but so would china. It would be bad for everyone. Also keep in mind the US shoots down drone like every day near Yemen while the chinese navy sits on its hands.

  999. This is Trumps fault. However Part of the problem is that the security apparatus for the capitol is extremely bureaucratic and everything requires multiple levels of sign offs by multiple bureaucrats.

It is the biggest arms exporter on earth. It is one of the larger food exporters on earth. The US nativism, white nationalist, populism thing is going to self sabotage the USA itself in so many ways. Also the trump appointees that get installed may be there sabotaging international relations and domestic policy for a generation.
    1
  1073. Also let’s just say that russia did violate the outer space treaty and parked nukes in space hypothetically. This is actually less effective then their MRV ballistic missile. For one thing the US is tracking stuff already in space. for another eliminating the boost phase of the ICBM only shaves minutes off the delivery time. A submarine launched ICBM is a better first strike weapon and the Russians, French, British, Americans and Chinese all-ready have those.

I wouldn’t driven one after he started paying people to vote for trump. Now after he did his Nazi salute and doge thing I wouldn’t be caught standing near a tesla.

  1093. so if you don’t agree with tim 100% of the time your going to switch off and unsubscribe that’s unfortunate. You will get stuck in your own information bubble. I don’t agree with tim all the time but he provides perspective. PA is basically a red state and you don’t get to make any rules or protect anyone if you loose your election.

  1096. i’m not in the navy but i have done a lot of ship based research and logistics stuff. I really like the module part. It’s too bad the execution seems so lousy.

  1097. If republicans want to condition aid to california. Then california should condition paying taxes on aid. California pays way more in taxes then it gets back.

  1098.  @ChillWill-q5x you are a liar and probably a foreign troll.

  1099. the only way it would make a difference is if you made them watch it at a town hall. The republicans know exactly what is happening and either dont care or have sided with russia.

  1101. How is the high voltage dc stepped up and down? Are there super high voltage IGBTs or transistor boost regulators?

  1102. The initial invasion of Crimea did happened under Obama not biden. Also he was talking about the debates and Trump was the only one making huge mistakes. Also trump was the one blocking wepons shipments to the ukraine. Harris wasn’t going on about Haitians eating pets.
    1
  1103. the power beaming part is only good in the most special case. Imagine if you beam laser power from space and the is an atmospheric disturbance causing a slight deviation then the beam wanders or scatters and a toddler is burned alive in seconds. Honestly its one of the worst ideas. Also i bet if you look closely at their tests you will find you loose a tone of power on both ends. lasers are not perfectly efficient also the receiver would need to be cooled.
    1
  1104. @ Elon is a turd. I don’t know why he did a Nazi salute but he did. You should think about why it is you find yourself defending a billionaire edge lord that no one voted for. My grandfather would have lost his sh!t if he saw that billionaire wiener throwing nazi salutes.

  1117. It kills me that trump and the public don’t seem to understand who pays import tariffs. I have paid thousands in tariffs and import duties in just chips and components. They may disadvantage the foreign manufactures however that is only true if there is credible domestic competition. I am not saying there should be no tariffs just that it needs to be done carefully. Otherwise there will be unintended consequences and adverse outcomes for domestic manufacturers and consumers.
    1
  1118. those tariffs are levied by the imporing countries themselves.

  1127. Most of the people in the comments are confused about presidential immunity. It just means the president can be prosecuted. It doesn’t mean presidential powers are unlimited. Executive orders still only go so far.
    1
  1128. a lot of that money is spent in the US paying for Americans to make the weapons and ammunition. It funds manufacturing in the US.
    1
  1129. You know China has a modern airforce. Also they could have just used on of their airbus or a 737 or something. Also they had almost half of the orbital rocket launches last year. So i think they have planes that can get anywhere.
    1
  1130. While I think some spot recounts to verify the euipment is a good idea. The democratic party lost ground in places like new york and Massachusetts I mean for that to be faked it would have to be very wide spread not just swing states.
    1
  1131. Yea elon completely ignores the problem of electronic warfare. Being smart does not mean he is always right.
    1
  1132. illegal immigrants voting is a non-existent problem. They dont fill out forms or show up because they are terrified of being deported. much less vote which would get them arrested. Thats why those 90 court cases trump filed came to nothing. Because there was basically nothing.
    1
  1133. oh you mean demand for an electric hummer isn’t what you expected GM? Im so shocked.
    1
  1134. Also all these tariff threats will cause countries to circumvent the US economy. It will make everyone poorer and decrease US influence.

  1135. Stop getting tour news from trolls on 4chan

  1136. EVs are still the future in places like the east coast of the US probably much of Europe. In remote places like midwest and far north it will be hybrids.

  1137. yea and he is known for always telling the truth right?
    1
  1138. One of those guys said that no one on the news told them to go outside and get exercise. Medical people talk about diet and exercise ALL the time. If Americans don’t know that being a healthy weight and doing some cardio helps they have been trying really hard to not hear it.
    1
  1139. why are they in congress?

  1141.  @ladyalexandra2980  ok so last time you took a flight you had a giant fist full of euros and took that to the ticket counter? Half the time i fly there isn’t even a real person at the ticket counter.

  1142. I wish i was 20 something for this. Im going to go protest but they may just arbitrarily arrest non-violent protestors as I have seen them do before. Who is going to pick my kid up from school when I’m locked up without being charged with a crime.

  1144. The international reputation of the USA will not be rebuilt. I know Americans don’t care about USAID but it really mattered.
    1
  1145. So Canada should pay for some foreign hit squad killing Canadians in Canada?
    1
  1146. I agree that the principal objective should be to avoid a war with china. Taiwan should be protected with deterrence by providing defensive missile systems. However if the US tries to cripple the Chinese economy we may force the Chinese government into a rash military action. Nothing scares Chinese politicians more than high unemployment and unrest.

  1148.  @linuxpatriot200 Is that why those Live twitter events work so well now!?
    1
  1149. The USAID thing is really bad people I know work for USAID they have already had to let go of their contractors. These people are helping the most vulnerable people. No one is getting rich working for USAID. People will die because of this political stunt. Kids will die from famine and disease around the world.

  1150. they should do a side by side

  1151. If it was all about reliability there could just be a rule that all brake lines have to be stainless and beefy. I think I would never trust electronic only brakes because of a million reasons not to mention rats and mice chewing on wires. I have had every system in a car fail on me except the hydraulics.

    1
  1156. at USAID they were escorted out of the building and dismissed or fired.
    1
  1157. no its because Russia is only interested in completely taking all of ukraine. The Ukrainians cant trust a russian promise. Trump wont offer any security guarantees. Ukraine has no choice but to either fight or get overrun and conquered.
    1
  1158. He is even criticizing the school over and over. if he keeps this up this election wont be close. He just criticized the Governor of the state, their state school , the governor’s wife and everyone in atlanta. nice job trump.

  1159. People are using exterminators too much. That and over spraying pesticide in agriculture.
    1
  1160. yea its just not true. there were 44k in paid subscriptions to politico and other paywalled media by employees. The defense department probably spends like 1000 times that on the same kind of stuff.
    1
  1161. He brought his anti vaccination BS to american Samoa. Convinced a whole bunch of people to not get their kids vaccinated against measles. There was an outbreak and kids died. He has terrible judgment and doesn’t listen to experts. Dozens of kids in Samoa would be alive today if not for him.

  1165.  @IdlesQueen  I agree but more people hate trump than before. He has that effect on people.
    1
  1166. I think the US has troubled relations with the countries on the African continent partly due the the administration changing every 2 years. It is hard to make deals when priorities and funding are constantly changing. Xi Jinping does not have this problem. US elected officials only care about what voters (and lobbyists) make them care about.
    1
  1167. So back when trump went bankrupt several times and proved that the house doesn’t always win he needed to borrow money. Trump even himself said he is the king of debt. After the bankruptcy legit banks were not lending him money. There were however a bunch of russian oligarchs and saudis around with deep pockets. I think Tump has always been cozy with the saudis and Russians because the loaned him money when no one else would. Trump is nothing if not transactional.
    1
  1168. I think I am the trump hating dad at this point

  1169. Are we in russia why are witnesses having “accidents”

  1172. RFK Lies because he makes money when he sues vaccine providers.

  1173. yea its not the same deal at all. the deal signed is about joint exploration and development of resources.

  1174. it would be funny also probably good. A bunch of the republicans would defect. RFK is really hard to understand
    1
  1175. why is CBP being used on american citizens!
    1
  1176. International law isn’t really a thing in real life. It’s only a law if someone can enforce it. Who wants to try to enforce laws on China, Russia or the USA. They all have massive militaries and world ending nuclear weapons.

  1177. I will always go to an independent shop I am done with dealers forever. I think I might just not ever buy a new car again just so i don’t have to go there again.

  1180. Pretty much everyone on earth watched the Russians invade Live because Satellites exist. Also at least when the USA lied about Iraqs nuke program and invaded they didn’t run out of gas half way there!
    1
  1181. Paul is right. This is a distraction. For one thing the US regularly powers deep space mission with a plutonium powered RTG. So Russia has not necessarily violated the outer space treaty. Also the US India and China have anti-satellite weapons. So on the same exact topic does anyone remember the launch of the classified X37. That thing is not just up there studying the effect of zero gravity on ant farms…….so…. this is a bunch of nothing.
    1
  1182. I think there is a software update that can make it not suck off-road. however if he lets it update tesla can turn the car off.

  1193. So Putin attacking another country is somehow the fault of the vice president?
    1
  1194. I remember when Biden didn’t invite elon to that stupid summit. I knew he was going to go ballistic. At the time GM has sold like a handful of electric cara and tesla had like 90 percent of the market. Elon is a complete a-hole but that was a mistake.
    1

    1
  1212. because Biden didn’t let 20 year olds post classified data on a website for everyone to see.

  1218. Space X doesn’t just have some success it basically is the Entire space launch industry outside of china right now. It is the only reason anyone is going to the ISS and putting things in orbit. Tesla is the only thing keeping big oil and Detroit from smothering the electric car industry. Elon is a dick and creepy and also capable. both things can be true. Also I think the pandemic drove like 20 percent of the population crazy including Elon.

  1230. the over all plot of the prequels was good but the dialog was terrible. Also they spent too much time on digital effects and should have done more takes with the actors. with the sequels the overall plot and story and characters arcs were rubbish but the dialog was ok.

  1231. The military reports to trump so…

  1232. dont respect us too much. half of our voters love this fat senile reality show conman that smears orange makeup all over himself. Its like a cult.
    1
  1233. I don’t think ships need to be that big. shipping a container is cheap enough. Also if a ship that big has a problem its that much harder to clean it up or un-ground it. I mean the ships get that big then tugs are less effective and its just a bunch more problems all so the shipping companies can make more money and ship more cheap crap and get the governments to subsidize it by spending on mega port facilities.

  1235. Yea right before the pandemic I quit my Job and started an engineering consulting / design company. Mostly custom submersible robotics. So not only do we constantly have to come up with new solutions all the time we have to estimate how much it will cost so if we estimate wrong we loose money and still have to do the job. I hate doing quotes and estimates the most.👎

  1256. these ships are completely useless. I heard the hulls are not even solid and the are cracking. Decommission all of them and STOP making them. They are going to get sailors killed if we are actually in a real war. Build more destroyers or give the money back and fix US infrastructure and schools.

  1260. I agree It was completely chaotic. There has to have been a better way to do that. Trump probably shouldn’t have had the Taliban at camp dvid. Also biden seemed out of touch with the details.

  1269. These are real-estate dirtbag tactics. Its what happened when the trump administration kicked out all the adults in the room. These in experienced jackasses will drive america right into the ditch and pretend that is winning.

  1270. If tulsi is not an asset why does she keep parroting foreign propaganda. I guess she is just doing it for free?
    1
  1271. even if they did it wouldn’t stop trees from growing now that was 40 years ago. Haiti was taken advantage of by international banks / betrayed by US policy makers and just has super bad luck. the fruit trees are the least of their problems
    1
  1272. foreign ships can travel trough another countries exclusive economic zone but not extract resources or for example blockade some one and attack them with water canons. The EEZ can extend 200 miles but its not the same as a countries territorial sea. If this was not the case no goods could be delivered anywhere. You are thinking of the territorial sea which is generally 12 miles from shore. If the US ship was 12 miles from India without permission then it would be a violation.

  1273. why did health insurance profits skyrocket in 2016
    1
  1274. there is just too many weird things in food these days. My daughter has a Soy intolerance. 40 years ago she could just not goto a Chinese restaurant and it would have been fine. Now they put it in everything like even bread and beans its a nightmare.

  1275.  @markusberzborn6346  um the fact that journalists keep getting murdered by the kremlin. They keep imprisoning political activists just for political opinions. The rampant graft and corruption of russian politicians.
    1
  1276.  @markusberzborn6346  Oh and The imprisonment and slow motion murder of Navalny.

  1277. I agree it’s like hundred thousands of babies being thrown out with the bath water.

  1278.  @dmode1535  how many do you need what is the difference between 3000 and 10000 who cares no one can use them before ending the world so who cares how many there are. Also on a side note the ones the US and China have actually work maybe Russia should check on theirs and see how rusty they are.

  1279. the apprentice was only bad lessons in deushbaggery.
    1
  1280. yea but at the moment it would break the whole supply chain. The US cant afford to stop trading with china at the moment. Maybe in the future but not yet.
    1
  1281. Did you pass the bar. Did tou get elected to the US senate?
    1
  1282. members of the US government was too busy covering their own butts to do anything about it. I mean its hard to get fired from government if you never do anything that you are not told to do. Procuring and distributing microwave detectors could show initiative which might get some one in trouble.
    1
  1283. Do you remember trump doing debate prep with chris christie last time he prepared for a week then have everyone covid. All politicians that want to win do prep work
    1
  1284. Go read the constitution. This is the election NOW the parties dont even need to have primarys if they dont want. The vote part is Now.

  1285. You know he doesn’t. Trump has only good things to say about putin.

  1286. Cassidy is not gullible he is afraid.

  1287. how long would a programmer need root access to a system to install their own back door to they can take control later. Im guessing its like 30 seconds and they have had a week!

  1288. the whole Invasion and wholesale murder of Ukrainians part. that is tyranny. adding the smile emoji doesn’t help
    1
  1289. Here is the problem. Im middle aged and all the leadership is 20 years older than me or more. Democrats need the youth to show up. I like Harris but even she is almost 60.

  1290.  @nonnpcmaxlevel trumps not in office yet and Elon is just spreading lies.
    1
  1291. That was true up until the 1940s
    1
  1292. I design equipment professionally and I would be super pissed if some random committee in the eu had veto power that isn’t health an safety related. That said apple is a super pain in the ass. I did just swap the battery in my iPhone 10 and it was a bit of a pain.
    1
  1293. obviously he IS NOT better than this. This is who he is. When the chips are down he will starve kids to death for political convenience.
    1
  1294. George bush and the neo conservatives thought that they needed to have a friendly regime installed in the middle east. I think they did actually think Iraqis would side with this new US backed govt. It was a huge mistake. Many people in the US protested against the invasion. (US protestors don’t get thrown out windows here) But it is not as big a mistake as the Ukraine invasion because Russia has so much more to loose. This will be worse than that 1980s Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
    1
  1295.  @ramhaven2322 yea but the constitution isnt cancelled and no one voted for elon. Trump can do these thing through the republican controlled house like the constitution says. Elon can get f!cked.
    1
  1296.  @Patryc If you think that your the reason this happened.
    1
  1297. I don’t think there are rules about it in the constitution. because in the old days the vp was often whoever got second place. The party politics on the selection of candidates is not really covered.
    1
  1298. I was reading the constitution and VP nominee rules are really up to the political party and its internal rules which can be changed whenever. states have rules however it would vary by state.
    1
  1299. There was something in that first bill that was going to stop Elon from profiting from china. So he killed it with a hissy fit of tweets. Elon doesn’t care about cancer research he has allready got his Defense dept billions locked down.
    1
  1300. Trump has NO idea how tariffs work. China does not pay the tariffs on Chinese goods imported to united states. The importer like some times me pays that. The importer then passes the increased cost on to the consumer. If it is a low profit product no US company is going to bother making it. Only if it is highly profitable would a US industry start up around that product.
    1
  1301. China and Russia are the global south?
    1
  1302. We basically mostly work for large institutions, businesses. on the plus side they always pay. On the down side they never pay anything up front. and it usually takes like 5 months to be paid. Its not unusual for some one to owe us 100k in materials which sucks.
    1
  1303. I design mostly submersible robotic equipment. I have designed more things than I can remember. Usually scientists and researchers hire me. The scientists typically are funded by Navy or NOAA or the NSF. Everything I work on is unique and often cutting edge. I don’t really see a future for this kind of thing in the US anymore.

  1304. she is only looking at the stock market. the stock market is still high overall.

  1305. We need to hold the house to make that true. If the republicans control the house they will pull all the kinds of procedural skullduggery. banon basically promised to do it.

  1313.  @defoedezign  so you also think the democrats can control the weather. can trump control the weather or does he need a jewish space laser?
    1
  1314.  @RHPDaddy  how did the democrats make rent expensive?

  1316. If Russian troops go back to russia the war would be over tomorrow.
    1
  1317. The teamster are a perfect example of how you can get know-nothing redstate voters to vote against their interests. That is why they stabbed the democrats in the back. If I was a democratic strategist next time I had to go to bat for the teamsters I just wouldn’t.
    1

  1323.  @jamesellis701 what you like selling out your allies and hate canada and making money?
    1
  1324. The Houthi’s have a bunch of trash missiles. Which is why they have hardly hit anything. If the US manages to run out of missiles we will just send slightly more of the largest navy on earth. Also those destroyers are just the tip of the iceberg of what the US navy has lying around.
    1
  1325. oh also the navy has more than just missiles have you seen those phalanx guns fire its nuts.

  1326. If Putin is appeased he will be invading eastern europe with a brand new army in ten years.

  1327. if it was about the border the republicans wouldn’t abandon their own border deal so easily. They are tryin NOT to fix it so it can be a campaign issue.
    1
  1328. people where there and saw it its not media spin. there are a million pictures. There were hundreds of injured cops. And there was that bs scheme to get pence not to certify the election. I know people in the national gaurd that had to go deal with the mess. Stop gasslighting people.
    1
  1329. At some point you may have to say out loud that the trump administration wants putin to win. That is why they are trying to cripple Ukraine’s defense against invasion. I get it you will loose half your subscribers Its a crappy deal.
    1
  1330. I totally agree it was a B I think Samuel Jackson as uncle sam makes it a B+.

  1334. Fetterman is not maga yet but he is unpredictable now. PA is a red state. he is in a tough spot.

  1335. I never thought someone like vance that went to fancy ivy league schools would be the one to out do sarah palin in the race to the bottom.
    1
  1336. if he does Putin will arrange another accident.
    1
  1337. gradually increasing tariffs on china might have made some sense. Starting a trade war with canada makes no sense at all. I have lost business to low cost chinese products. I have never lost business to Canadian companies WTF!
    1
  1338. We haven’t sent any combat troops. Ukraine stopping an invasion of europe is in the US strategic interest. Its much cheaper to stop Russias Empire ambitions before the Russians get to Poland which would be a much bigger more dangerous war.
    1
  1339. Im sure that the non -Israeli international crews of the civilian ships getting shot at totally understand you armchair perspective. Especially those that are being held hostage for nothing and cant go home.

  1340. This makes the US worse than china. In china he would have at least seen a judge.

  1343. I heard trump talking about a “sovereign wealth fund” who in this case do you think the sovereign is?
    1
  1344. That is super tired. Republicans default attack is to shriek communist.
    1
  1345. The US isn’t in a cold war rivalry with russia. That was before. The US is worried about which way China is going to go. Russia just lost its black sea fleet to a country without a navy.
    1
  1346. The Russian government predates putins presidency
    1
  1347. he was fine for 3 and a half
    1
  1348. The US policy makers decided it was no longer in the US interest to occupy Afghanistan because it wasn’t really serving any US foreign policy interest. The proceeded to leave in a pretty disorganized and crap lousy manner.
    1
  1349. so that doesn’t mean he is going to be popular in 2 years
    1
  1350. I think that it would be almost impossible to prevent one of the major state actors from having a back door into ANY of the major social media platforms. Facebook telegram ect are too large with too many employees to ever be airtight. If my own Govt was going to pay someone to work at facebook for example it would be pretty hard to resist. Thats even true if they are running perfect bug free code on millions of un compromised devices which is very unrealistic.
    1
  1351. time machine
    1
  1352. Its crazy that the same people that say we can take greenland or canada but that making DC a state is impossible. Almost a MILLION americans that pay taxes dont get represented in the house or senate.

  1355. They have all been brought up with that prosperity gospel drivel. They think they have a fancy rolex and money because god favors them.
    1
  1356. carbon capture is just words. It is currently NOT being done in any meaningful capacity because it uses too much energy. what is the point of running a coal plant if you are using most of the generated energy to pump the co2 into the ocean or some rock formation. Also no one is sure that the CO2 will actually stay down there!
    1
  1357.  @firasajoury7813 mainly the the usa needs a place to have a base. Its not really about resources for the usa it about stopping the region from turning into a bunch of failed states that supports extremists. There is no resource that the Sahara region has that the USA doesn’t have all-ready.
    1
  1358. how
    1
  1359. no the problem is the people of the united states handed control of ALL the branches of govt to the republicans. All they can do democrats can do is file law suits which they are doing.

  1360. national coups just lead to dictatorships. dictatorships are not freedom.
    1
  1361.  @rentedguccimink1948  We produce more oil than any other country in the world why do we have to del with russia. Russia has an economy the size of Italy by themselves. It doesnt matter i we have economic relations with russia.

  1362.  @CobeGt-07  so does australia
    1
  1363.  @Jack-4v The US dragged them into the forever wars in the middle east remember. The europeans DID show up especially the British. They remade their forces into expeditionary forces in order to better integrate with the pentagon in the “war on terror”.

  1364.  @Kira559 whataboutism doesnt help here

  1365.  @IlyaDemidov because a certain orange 1980s Ny real-estate developer that paints himself orange every morning owes some debt from his bankruptcys.
    1
  1366.  @mariemaglione4079 yea if you are russian and you get to keep everything and give absolutely nothing in return. That isn’t a deal. Russia killed a million Ukrainians and is offering nothing.
    1
  1367. While Air traffic controller under staffing has been a problem for a while. Trump is actively making it worse by trying to push FAA employees into buyouts. Dissolving advisory boards and firing people.
    1
  1368. yea we all ready do that. Also there are logistical things that governments can do that nonprofits cant.
    1
  1369. ok if this is all about saving money for taxpayers. Why is the CFPB shut down it has returned billions to Americans. Elon shut it down gee I wonder why?
    1
  1370. you can tell a country has a rubbish military if they are spending time doing those show of force parades. Its like a cat puffing up its fur before a fight.

  1372. you know what a political rally is right.

  1377.  @Patriotswelcome  So you want across the board 20% tariff. Even my company that makes everything in america buy foreign parts. everything will just be more expensive.
    1
  1378.  @yellowtunes2756 yea ok somehow russian industry will outproduce the rest of the world. Also you may have noticed even the Chinese dont want russian money anymore.
    1
  1379. ok how do you want to measure employment?
    1
  1380. I actually always figured a republican would get into office and raid social security before I would benefit from it at all. So no surprise there. I thought by the time it happened at least my parents would be done collecting social security. Robber barons is not a strong enough word. The old robber barons from the bad old days didn’t control the treasury!
    1
  1381. In the US sometimes they replace a regular stop sign intersection with a super tiny roundabout. Sometimes a box truck cant fit. So i don’t like tiny roundabouts. medium and big ones are fine. This isn’t just me being American about it I have driven in Europe south america and Africa and can drive manual on either side.
    1
  1382. I ran an extremely low overhead engineering firm. getting overhead for research below 15 percent is almost impossible. I think we got it down to 20% and we were super lean.

  1384. Elon has become the most dangerous person right now.

  1385. Zelensky Was always polite to trump and has thanked the US a million times no one had a setup where they ambushed Netanyahu. It is different.
    1
  1386.  @rose8596 If The South Koreans elect a government that feels safe enough to request US forces to leave Korea then it would happen. It is expensive to keep all those troops there. The US still has bases in other nearby countries.
    1
  1387. Trump is afraid of Elon. Trump also knows half his supporters are stupid and the other half are not paying attention. So trump is definitely going to side with the billionaires.
    1
  1388. I thought Maga hated neocon military adventurism and nation building?
    1
  1389. maybe the house should have voted on that border bill they themselves negotiated then ran away from as soon as trump told them too.

  1390. Trump was for the Iraq war before he was against it later when it was popular.
    1
  1391. sure buckle up for the coming trade war and inflation.

  1392. If I was to make a super secret new sub. I would first build a covered dock so no one could get sat photos.

  1397.  @TheErnie1964 we could have universal health care if it wasn’t for voters in the south.
    1
  1398. for the people that were around for his insurrection and the invasion of those dbag proudboys. Its good to see ads like this. Anyone who thinks this is a normal election is deluding themselves. Anyone who thinks they are both sides just crooked politicians and it doesn’t matter are Lying to themselves. It was only a couple years ago The truth needs to matter Trump is a traitor.
    1
  1399. I think that allot of what Ryan said also makes me think that there likely are no shortcuts through space and time. No warp drives no FTL. Mass is our prison. If there is intelligent life out there it is stuck where it is just as we are stuck in this solar system. Even the material thrown out in jets from magnetars and black holes doesn’t go faster the speed of light and I cant even imagine that amount of energy.
    1
  1400. I predict Gaetz will get confirmed Tulsi wont because its DNI and she is a woman and former democrat. some of those republicans can say she isn’t tough enough or something. When trump calls them on it they can hide behind misogyny which is A OK in the republican party.

    1
  1406. Netanyahu was a complete ahole to Obama and honestly I think its because Netanyahu is old racist garbage. After all that under Obama we were dumping billions on air defense for israel. To be clear Im glad civilians were saved but I really think Netanyahu needs to go.

  1407. It is intelligence and international affairs there will be no court of law. Just consequences and bad relations.
    1
  1408. The thing about military procurement is its hard to be flexible and innovative while fighting waste and fraud. Also its really hard to sell the military something that isn’t all ready on a procurement spreadsheet like bullets and helmets. Like just try to sell some innovative remote sensor if you don’t have lobbyists like Lockheed.

  1429. The democrats need the republicans to “catch the car” then show the country that bad policy causes REAL problems for regular people. They have to be ruthless just like republicans.

  1430. Major news agencies have run this story also it probably not a coincidence that this started happening after the Obama crashed the value of the ruble after Crimea.
    1
  1431. The navy can use electronic warfare on the drones. They probably are using EW which is probably why the Houthi’s are missing so much.

  1432. yea you can bribe Jabba you cant bribe Vader.

  1433. Trump wont do anything he is afraid of Elon and Putin. Elon is sitting around in trumps house eating his food right now.

  1434. oh its ok they are the right color
    1
  1435. the only way to hold the government accountable in non-democratic systems is through violence and revolution. I think I would prefer to live in a slightly ineffective messy democracy. Its better for life expectancy than periodic revolutions.
    1
  1436.  @王震-d2j  70 years ago was a long time and the US doesn’t need aircraft carriers to prevent the invasion of Taiwan. Running an assault across a straight is really really hard. Landing all those troops and hardware on a beach in modern times would be insane without complete air superiority. No one even knows how many anti ship missiles Taiwan has. Its just not worth it.
    1
  1437. Elon is a liar. If he was trying to actually audit things the richest guy on earth could probably have found some auditors that understand government databases.
    1
  1438.  @NottABlack  ok so the speech was a half hour not an hour. And sure she mentioned trump she is running against him. He calls her all kinds of names at his rallies. He says racist stuff all the time.

Currently it would break supply chains everywhere. Also The US military is absolutely capable being two places at once. The us navy and air force are fantastic at sinking ships. fighting an insurgency is hard sinking ships is easy.

  1649. yea but 70 - 80 come on. That said Biden is doing really much better than I expected. The problem is they are all really really old. Trump is almost just as old too! McCarthy Pelosi they are all ancient. A 60 year old has plenty of experience most people don’t even live to 80.

  1684.  @Johnarchiebald Probably also loads of people in the US navy and air-force. Taiwans ability to trade in the open market is critical to the world economy/ US economy. If there is a war it will be bad for everyone and there will be US casualties.

  1692. I am not surprised that trump is not in jail. He is rich and was the president and our judicial system is garbage. I am surprised half the voters in this country think an 80 year old orange traitor should be president again.

  1697. Like they said on the podcast at the end, anyone from the USA that thinks they can do some kind of deal with Putin that will somehow make russia allies with the USA is confused as to who Putin is. He blames the USA for the breakup of the Soviet Union. Making deals with NATO countries is not in the cards at all.

  1704. This is because the US govt basically holds gas prices artificially low through the use of the strategic reserve and subsidies for the oil companies. Electric cars can be cheap just not electric hummers and electric f150s. GM even used to make some affordable electric cars (Bolt and volt) but they cancelled them so….

  1705. Its supposed to have scratches in the bumper. Also I don’t get why any one cares about handprints an discoloration on the stainless body. Who cares if you want a shiny beautiful car go buy a lotus or something. I like the idea of never having to worry about the body rusting through when i get dings in it by hitting a tree branch or something. I would totally buy a used one if i had any extra money. The only problem is i wouldn’t want to have 1000 unwanted conversations about it with random people.
