You can’t just assert that. They’ll vote whatever way they’ve been paid to vote.

Fun fact - some soldering irons regulate their temperature using the curie point. There’s a disk of ferromagnetic material with a particular curie point in the tip. A magnet in the barrel of the soldering iron is attracted to the tip, and when it sticks to the tip, it switches the heating element on. When the disk hits its curie temperature it’s no longer magnetic, and the magnetic switch opens and shuts off the heating element (it’s on a weak spring). When the tip cools down enough it becomes magnetic again, and the magnet is pulled to it and turns on the heater. You can have different tips with different curie temperatures, so one soldering iron can do multiple temperatures with very cheap internal electronics (basically, just a switch).

Elon Musk, guardian of free speech!

This seems like it opens the door to asking for a mistrial.

Thank you!

Could you share the recipe?

A road built and maintained by taxpayers is much cheaper (to a shipping company) than building, maintaining, and operating a railway. Making taxpayers responsible for the infrastructure you use is one way to make your business much more profitable.

Yes, but that’s all subsidized by taxpayers, so it’s more expensive overall but cheaper for YOU.

“All billionaires will be summarily executed and their assets will be distributed to the citizenry, and the Heritage Foundation will be declared a terrorist organization, and all current and past leaders, funders, employees, and judges endorsed by them will be immediately sent to a prison camp in El Salvador” seems like a winning message.

And anything the president wants only needs an executive order, it seems, so it should be pretty easy to implement.

because they teach people and the govt thinks thought that education is was important

He himself has said he could run as Vance’s VP, and then Vance could resign. He said it like it was a clever hack he’d figured out. But the text of the amendment specifically forbids it. You can’t be VP if you aren’t eligible to be President, and if you’ve been elected twice, you aren’t eligible to be President.

I suppose he could say he hasn’t been elected twice because Elon hacked the voting machines in swing states in 2024, but at that point why bother?

On top of the continual shift of taxation towards the middle and lower classes we’ve had since Reagan.

The “good old days”the Republicans want to go back to were only good in the sense that the top tax rate was 90% and the rich paid something much closer to their fair share, and the middle class was able to actually have comfortable lives. But they want everyone other than them to be on the brink of economic ruin at all times so that they are more easily controlled.

Don’t keep voting to approve his nominees, for one. Put a hold on each and every one of them. Vote against all of the laws the republicans are putting through congress. Filibuster everything. Basically, act like the republicans have since 1992.

They could start with that.

She wants the company to relinquish its five licenses and instead distribute them to other EV manufacturers, such as Rivian, Scout Motors, and Lucid.

…

Fahy said that Musk is “part of an administration that is killing all the grant funding for electric vehicle infrastructure, killing wind energy, killing anything that might address climate change.”

“Why should we give them a monopoly?” she asked regarding Tesla, adding that this bill was her “making amends” with her previous support of the company.

They would transfer the licenses that were granted to them exclusively, not eliminate them.

It’s not a loop, there’s a fresh towel roll and a dirty towel take up roll and it only rolls on one direction. You changed it when the clean roll ran out and washed the dirty roll.

The towel is not a loop. When you pull down you get fresh towel off of a roll. The used towel goes onto a different roll and when the clean roll is used up they change it and wash the dirty one. They are geared together so the amount hanging down is pretty constant but sometimes they got out of sync and the “loop” was either huge or so tight you couldn’t really dry your hands.

The Republicans who could and should hold him to account (senators, representatives, and Supreme Court justices) are too afraid of his rabid base to do anything. If they oppose him, Trump will start raging on truth social that they are communist America haters that need to be “dealt with”. Stochastic terrorism is a real thing, and these people are cowards.

The oligarchs that put him in power thought they were smart enough to control him. I think they are just now realizing that they can’t, and they are freaking out.

I don’t think anyone understands that if he ousts Powell/gets his interest rate lowered, we’re looking at a depression or worse.

Um, I think everyone except his hardcore followers understands that.

No, selling the USB stick was where she got the $3000 cash.

Protesting can work, boycotts can work, and so on. Don’t let anyone think we can’t act because we the people can

Yes! If they didn’t work, we wouldn’t have such coordinated negative messaging about how they DON’T work and are a waste of time. If conservatives didn’t think boycotts and protests were effective they wouldn’t be working so hard to make them illegal.
