Only extremely bad publicity might possibly get anything done. But, don't hold your breath.

We might have considered the Corolla Cross if it had PHEV available, although it's a little smaller than what we want--our current car is a CR-V and we like its size. Instead, we have booked the BYD Sealion 6 PHEV. It's a bigger SUV, about the size of the CR-V, comes very well-equipped, and the starting price is actually less than the Cross. We might opt for the top model, but even that one is only 1,039,000. The Japanese need to do some catching up with the models on offer here.

Looks like the new party is in capable hands.

Yaa!

I'm gonna need more than 2 minutes.

We shall see. If he is very slightly ahead--debatable--hopefully he has peaked too soon. This is still just August. Plenty of time for Trump to offend more voters every time he opens his mouth, including the Republican governor of Georgia.

In a nutshell, Vance is a negative with all voting groups, except, perhaps, male cat haters. Yaa!

in his wildest dreams. And if the EC fails the US once again, as it did with Gore and Clinton, giving America Cheneybush and the worst president in US history, Trump.

Don't stop there, Lindsey. "...the showman, the serial liar, the swindler, the rapist, the multi-convicted felon, the traitor, the adulterer, the grifter of The Highest Order, the pu**y groper, the cheater at golf, the attempted voter thief, the worst president in US history, the . . ."

Umm, duh.

Well, if any more proof was needed . . .

I thought her father already cancelled the schem. His first act since her appointment showing he is in charge, not her.

Good article. Thanks.

Didn't have time to watch right now. Grifting?

I understand the EC perfectly well, unfortunately. Hopefully, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will eventually reach it's goal. Fingers crossed.

Well, once he is thrown into prison, if he ever becomes eligible for parole, the parole board is going to want to see some sort of job skill before they'll even think of granting parole. Likely his pension will be eaten up in legal fees, payoffs, fines, monetary settlements, pay for play in prison, hamburgers, Depends xxxl size adult diapers, and so forth. So, a job skill is going to be sorely needed. Let's do some brain-storming. And, before you ask, no, his only current job skill, grifter, is not going to cut it with the parole board. Yes, I know, he has steadily climbed the ranks and is now at the very top--Grifter of the Highest Order--but, Just being brutally honest here, that's not going to work at all. Sorry--I know he was counting on that. Worst president in US history is also going to be a non-starter with the parole board. In all honesty, it's going to be difficult to classify ex-president as a current job skill right from the get-go and then you have the added fact that he was horrible at it. Perhaps wise to not even mention that to the board. So, as I said, he really needs to learn some sort of job skill while he's locked up. Hmm. He does have those tiny, delicate hands. Bingo! I'm thinking learning the job skill of hand model might just be his ticket out. Phew! Glad we were able to come up with something--especially with so little to work with. Bravo us.

Leaving old, semi-senile Trump as the dead man walking in the election. In his coherent periods, Trump is apparently fit to be tied at this turn of events.

He's human and it was quite long ago. Would it deter me from voting for him ? No. Now, how about a convicted rapist, serial liar, grifter, con man, and multi-felon? Yes.

Don't even bother with Musk, Kamala. Just another rich guy--why would he even think he was deserving or entitled to interview presidential candidates? Ignore the jerk--and keep doing exactly what you're doing. It's paying off in the polls and driving the MAGAites absolutely nuts.

Last hurrah for PT, will be crushed in next election.

I'm 72. I'm not in waiting mode.

Where he will, hopefully, learn some sort of skill to support himself for when, or if, he is ever released back into society.

I don't think that's quite true when you say 'nobody has range anxiety any more'. My spouse and I certainly still do. That is why we are going with a PHEV rather than an all-electric car as our next car. We feel we are not ready for all-electric just yet. PHEV should suit us. We can drive around town on just the electric, without using gas at all, and recharge at night. When we take trips, we don't have to worry about running out of battery or not being able to find a charging station. If for some reason we can't recharge, we have the gas backup.

From what I can tell if I searched right: South Korea, Honduras, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, Iceland, Malaysia, Panama, Virgin Islands, Nicaragua, Bosnia, Paraguay, Venezuela, Philippines, Congo, and others. Dozens of countries, such as Finland, Brazil, France, Russia, Austria, and Portugal, use popular vote but a candidate must win at least 50% of the vote in the first round. If not, a second round is needed, with usually the top two vote-getters facing off.

Mazda CX-8 might fit your needs--we sat in one and were impressed by how nice it was inside. Spouse and I just booked a new BYD Sealion 6 SUV, a plug-in hybrid, which we were looking for. Beautiful car, comfortable, and very nicely-equipped for a very reasonable price, less than 1MB. But, Chinese and maybe a bit small for your needs. We wanted to buy another CR-V but were underwhelmed by it's supposedly 'new' but, in our opinion, very dated styling--should have been the 2020 model, not 2024. And, no PHEV. Plus, very pricey for the top model. Good luck with your search.
