The Great Equalizer

From a design perspective, it actually makes sense because stainless steel is so hard to bend and fabricate. DeLorean at least managed a good shape from it.

This could have looked less ridiculous, but I think Musk probably had too much input on wanting it to look completely different from anything else. And since he’s never been the kind of person who actually used a pickup truck for what they’re made for, he ended up with this.

The RNC has said no Presidential debates unless they get to specify all the conditions including the moderators, so I doubt there will be one. If Trump keeps demanding debates, it means his internal polling is scaring him.

A “tree remover” ? With giant muscles and a hand held chain saw, but no helmet, bucket truck, climbing gear, etc.
I smell a rat, or maybe a not to bright arborist with delusions of grandeur? “Tree remover”. What the hell WaPo?

I will stick with my local outlet for similar reasons, I need to figure out if I can designate my donations for everything but NPR’s regular news programming. Because I might as well be giving money to CNN if I can’t.

I hate to tell you, but the rapture already happened. Almost no one qualified, including the relgionist assholes, and certainly not all the woke, liberal, irreligious types. And being one of the latter, this pisses me off. God owes us the removal of those idiots, and he just won’t do it. What a faker.

Quanity-wise, the GOP is unmatched in reductive labels for the vast array of things it doesn’t like. Quality-wise, uniparty scrapes the last splinters at the bottom of the barrel.

No doubt those biases operate. However, they are categorically different from the (unfounded, wrong, and ignorant) bias which says Republicans are good for the economy, a bias which is opposite to reality but which it total amongst Republican types, and frightfully common amongst liberals.

Netanyahu is not particularly popular, but escalation and broadening of the conflict in the Middle East could at least yield political gains domestically. It really depends on how craven he is. You also have an Iran and other autocracies that want to avoid increased domestic unrest. At the end of this runway is regional nuclear exchanges or dirty bombing without any guarantees as to what might be a target. Proxies could bomb other proxies or principals, principals could bomb proxies or other principals or even non-participants. In my lifetime, I’ve experienced two tense nuclear moments, the Cuban Missile Crisis and Reagan’s 1983 nuclear incident (which was full-on panic in northern Europe and most Americans slept through). This time, however, there is very little civil defense discussion in the US. Countries like Germany have only recently realized bomb shelters still have uses other than tourism. I remember getting nuclear first aid classes when I was in fourth grade, like how to clean a contaminated friend and bag all their clothing, duck and cover, the limitations of iodine tabs, and a trip to a mine converted for CD purposes to house about 500 people. Today’s advice is not to use hair conditioner after a nuclear attack.

I think you’re wrong about this.
Jimmy would certainly qualify, and he’s still with us. :cry:

Not going to argue that Trumpers are in a cult, but did they create the cult or did Donnie? For me I need the question answered: “Is the dog chasing the car, or is the car chasing the dog?”

Honestly, does it matter? The minions were looking for someone to explode their grievances into the mainstream. TIFBG picked up on it and ran with it and, I have to say, rather successfully. The dope hasn’t been out of the scope of the media for nearly ten years. It’s a good run and it will continue, unabated, for the foreseeable future.

It’s not how many hair dryers does Marsha, Marsha need, it’s that the poor woman doesn’t have a mirror.

A very common misconception. She has plenty of mirrors. Just no reflection.

Close, but no. The media’s central motivation is making the most money possible. The bottom line is the bottom line financially. That’s the desired end, all else is means toward that end.

The exceptionally high stakes the media are really concerned about are their profits.

And that Jewish state has done very little to be a good neighbor. They have stolen territory and made it impossible for the Palestinians to make any kind of decent living. They crack down on the freedoms of Gazans and Palestinians at the slightest provocation…in short they have been greedy bullies. This has gone on for years. Israel is reaping the consequences of their actions, and it is past time we give up on the fiction that they are a “democratic” state and that we owe them protection or arms.

I’ll say it again, "the effect of religion on humans is a net negative. "
