good.

more than half of the electeds need to go from all sorts of issues from stabbing biden in the back to push him out to voting to censure rep al green to voting for all of trump's cabinet picks. the party is rotten and necrotic at the head and it's dragging the entire country down.

how do we know elon is just an idiot with a lot of money and an inverse amount of sense?

he wants to open dealerships in wisconsin in this political climate he created himself and expects people to buy his substandard cars.

how exactly is making sure that a rushed bill isn't problem free with the right people in the room to address issues when the bill was written not progressive? sounds like jb is saying write it better and take your time to make sure it's right this time instead of saying no.

sedans no, and it's a goddamned shame because fuel efficient sedans still have a place. manuf won't make them because trucks (and not even single cab small trucks) and suvs make more money.

i'm glad that there is an(other) program for audible. i like this one better. it automatically converts to a file format i prefer and downloads my books immediately, which is convenient for preorders. besides that, i personally would like to not use the audible app for playback; this is just a personal preference though. i have an audiobook app that works just as well. if anything this would just be me eliminating an app from my devices than anything else.

he's done a masterful job of framing issues that the (very) conservative commonwealth can accept without outright rejecting.

and believe it or not, he wasn't my first choice to be gov in 2019. I thought he was too centrist.

THAT'S MY GOVERNOR

he's only saying that because he happens to live in a super liberal small rural state.

know what happens in most ither states where you don't have name recognition or a party infrastructure behind you and you run for office? unless you have some sort of money reserve you can tap into and dollar bills come gushing out like an oil geyser, it's damn near impossible to not just win but get ballot access TO win. and if you do get ballot access, all you will do is steal votes from the registered democratic candidate (or the democratic candidate steals votes from you) and the republican wins.

a brilliant strategy from a man who twice ran for president as a democrat but refused to change his party affiliation. he didn't even take his own damn advice, and look at what that got us. just the fact that he didn't do this his own damn self should show how stupid an idea it actually is.

and by the way, sure he and aoc are drawing huge crowds. crowds are nothing. how many of those people vote? how many of those people get 2 more people to vote? just showing up to a rally means absolutely fuckall if you don't actually go vote and vote for viable candidates. because if your message resonates with the people enough you don't have to run unaffiliated with a major party because you would have the votes to run and win as a democratic candidate in the first place. because to be very honest, the thing that bernie is suggesting not only sounds like an exercise in liberal grifting, it also sounds like an excellent way to divide a voting bloc that when split has absolutely no chance of beating a republican ever but would absolutely lead to entrenched infighting among a group that should be united in beating republican christian nationalist fascism.

even though I do not trust self driving cars at this point in time, i would much rather trust literally every other manufacturer's version of self driving tech except tesler.

consequences?

WHO'S GOING TO ENFORCE THEM?

this is my shocked face 😐
