  1. Gotta love the way they're blaming legal tourists, and not Biden's invasion of illegals. Nor do they blame sanctuary cities and cash free bail that shield them from deportation and puts the criminals back on the street, another genius Dem wet dream. CNN, carrying Biden's and the DNC's water. Again.
  2. If you don't like what I post, put me on ignore. Please. We'll both be happier.
  3. According to the link, it has 2x 2kw motors and a battery capacity of 2.88kw. That means you can run it at full power for a little less than an hour, then it needs to be charged. (assuming no typos and you're willing to run the battery from 100% to zero. Which is not a good idea, even if it's possible) I'd suggest you optimize your carbon footprint where it makes sense and concede that the tech just isn't there yet to go all electric. Like mulching your clippings instead of burning them, etc.
  4. And there's never been an opinion by any gub'ment agency that was overturned on appeal? This one's going to end up before the Supreme Court. But not before November. Too bad for the TDS crowd. Their heads will explode even biggly-er.
  5. That's one (partisan) opinion. There are other opinions. Let's go back to my original statement: Trump claimed that the PRA allowed him to keep those documents. Right or wrong, if this were any other former president, or if Trump wasn't a candidate, or this wasn't an election season, the issue would have been settled in a flurry of court battles with no charges being filed. Had this been any other former president, there would have been a flurry of subpoenas, replies and negotiation. Instead, there was a televised FBI raid on Mar a Lago and criminal charges. First time in US history a president has been charged... But hardly the first time a president was caught with secret squirrel stuff in, for example, a sock drawer.
  6. Judging by the photo, that looks more like a processing plant than a warehouse. With cadmium at $4.1 USD per kg, 15,000 tons of pure cadmium would be worth about $61 million. Obviously, smelting dust isn't pure cadmium, but I wonder what it's worth? And I wonder what nefarious plans they have to monetize it. Hopefully, there will be more scrutiny now that it's in the press. The fact that they "found" 15,000 tons would indicate that there weren't any regulatory approvals.
  7. The issue is whether the act of taking the records is sufficient to convert them from presidential records to personal property. The PRA allows the president to decide what's presidential and what's personal. But you have to listen to some right wing news outlets to hear that side. The MSM is carrying Biden's water. Again. Why is it that lefties think anyone who disagrees with them are somehow defective? Just can't resist getting mean and going right to personal attack. And it cost HRC the 2016 election...
  8. I wonder how many of those 400 crimes were technical fouls like WP and overstays and scooter helmets, and how many had an actual victim.
  9. Depends on how many they buy.
  10. No thanks. It's already at about a 5th grade reading level.
  11. If I were to lament that Biden is sitting across the negotiating table from foreign entities that probably have 8x10 glossies and bank records that could land his kid in jail for life, I'd have to provide a link... But never for a similar claim about the bad orange man. Outrageous claims are perfectly acceptable from that side. Why's that?
  12. Where was the first Trump disaster? There were no wars in Europe or Israel, the border under control, low inflation, relatively cheap gas and a full SPR. Of course, there were mean tweets, melted snowflakes, and that Covid thing. I'll concede those, but I'd prefer mean tweets to WW3, which is a real risk for the first time since the '80s and a higher risk than at any time since 1962.
  13. Try to say it fast and out loud, and butt naked makes more sense. Buck naked is more of a tongue twister.
  14. I'll break it down. Trump had a reasonable argument that, as president, he had the right to take documents with him when he left office. That's the PRA. Biden, as a former senator, had no such argument, nor a reasonable one as VP.
  15. So it could be even worse if Skipalong votes in a swing state and ol' Tug doesn't?
  16. This isn't the first time in history that the former president and the NARA disagreed. Just the first time that a former president was charged with a crime. And how 'bout that timing? Over 3 years later and right in the middle of election season. Nothing suspicious there...
  17. Still, they started with the name and went looking for the charges. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that they empaneled quite a few secret grand juries to find one that would hand down the indictments. Of course, we'll never know because that's the way grand juries work. And not so strangely, it appears that all of those grand juries were in Blue areas. Imagine the bragging rights for the lefties to claim they helped stop Trump and elect Biden.
  18. So what's the big deal? The tech space is full of startups that were valued in the $billions while they were still losing money. Some of them for years, if not decades. This is only news because it's Trump and it's an election year.
  19. My God, man. We can't have that... That must be coming from unapproved sources. Because it certainly isn't coming from the MSM.
  20. Silly me. I thought DA's and AG's were supposed to seek justice. Not start with a name and then find the charges.
  21. But don't recuse the DA or the AG who ran on a platform of "get Trump". Or the judge who has donated to the Biden campaign and whose daughter stands to make a mint off the prosecution. Hypocrisy much? Or just TDS?
  22. Trump claimed that the PRA allowed him to keep those documents. Right or wrong, if this were any other former president, or if Trump wasn't a candidate, or this wasn't an election season, the issue would have been settled in a flurry of court battles with no charges being filed.
  23. I doubt many of the people hiding their dirty money in Thai real estate are going to be tax residents.
  24. The interview also drew attention to a lack of commitment and relation to the airplane industry that top executives possess, with the insider pointing to the current CEO and CFO having gained their experience at General Electric. Top executives are also disconnected from average workers at the company, who would rather not incorporate politics into business as DEI initiatives do. “The headquarters in Arlington is empty,” the insider told Rufo. “Nobody lives there. It is an empty executive suite. The CEO lives in New Hampshire. The CFO lives in Connecticut. The head of HR lives in Orlando. We just instituted a policy that everyone has to come into work five days a week — except the executive council, which can use the private jets to travel to meetings. And that is the story: it is a company that is under caretakers. It is not under owners. And it is not under people who love airplanes.” Wow. Just wow. The article was about their disastrous DEI program, but this is disturbing, too. https://dailycaller.com/2024/04/04/empty-executive-suite-boeing-insider-lays-companys-diversity/
  25. Here's a better idea. Quit taking money from people who work and giving it to people allergic to working. But they do vote your way... Edit: I'd add that I am 100% in favor of an increase in the top marginal tax rate at the top end. But not if they're just going to squander that money to increase stupid programs like sponsoring gender equity in Nigeria, counting the ants in the Amazon, more subsidies for products that consumers don't want, and forever wars 5,000 miles outside the US.
