I mean I do have to actually see the video, context etc… Not that I don’t find this insanely plausible, but I also know their counter was to show every democrat that’s ever done a hand waving gesture and freezing the millisecond that it looked like the Hitler salute.
exactly, she wasn’t saying she was a researcher, she was stating she wasn’t an arm chair quarterback… Going with the sports analogy she’s far closer to a manager or a coach… not a dude on the couch with just the perspective of what’s shown on TV.
Honestly can you imagine how weird domestication must be to wild animals… Like just imagine driving down into a back roads area… noting some large ugly creature there… then seeing a small luxury area but still completely foreign to you, and inside it are people. You approach and be “Hey who are you? want to come to society”, and they are like “nah long as we do these weird tasks we don’t understand for these random other creatures, they feed us and let us sleep on these comfy beds… were cool man”.
He knows how to win a knife fight… step 1, bring 300 allies with semi automatic weapons… 2. Don’t actually step into the arena.
except that it isn’t the government it’s enriching…
I don’t know, he seems to have pretty positive views for the axis side of WW2. He’d probably be thinking “what if we had smart loyal pilots like the japanese, but with nukes”. and would begin pushing for a supprise nuclear kamakazi strike against a nation that wouldn’t see it coming. (maybe canada).
Right, but the point is he’s realized that he’s been around long enough that enough things that affect him personally are coming into focus. Which is why he’s stepping down… so someone who hasn’t been effected by polio can take his place, and support the things he can’t bring himself to back.
(will note this is the opposite of a compliment, he’s a piece of shit, and only stepping down because he realizes that there are limits on how big of a piece of shit he can be, so he’s clearing the way for a newer piece of shit to continue the legacy).
So your suggestion is basically families should own an EV just for getting around home… and a gas guzzler for long distance travel? IMO the ideal should be a slow phase out of the gas cars.
Or you know… instead of needing super heavy batteries… they could have smaller batteries… if charging stations become common enough that people can relatively easily find places to stop and charge on long trips.
It’s because he’s been lately feeling a strange feeling of… having a smidge of humanity in him… IE he spoke up against a polio denier etc… He realizes that having 1% of normal human empathy, disqualifies him from the current republican party.
Best way to hold to a lie… is lump it in with absolute truths.
Just get rid of the charging stations. It’s ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work
why the hell is that ridiculous? People do go places other than home and work. People take road trips and vacations. Electric cars are a good thing, just because one particular brand is owned by a narcisist ruining the country.
Honestly I don’t know, they are both pretty equally scary. Both have more or less the same goals… but project 2025 was basically figuring out how to use the rules to establish everything. Fact is… a lot of what project 2025 was proposing would take a year or more, is happening in a couple days when musks crooks just show up… and shut shit down.
I mean republicans I get. They don’t want to appear disloyal to trump, and elon’s threatening to oppose them. Democrats… what the hell is wrong with you guys… you already know trump finds you an enemy… why the hell make it easier
I don’t believe they are going for the same position RFK got HHS… Oz is specifically overseeing Medicare/Medicaid… sadly trump can find room for 2 medically focused junk science pushers.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, Palm Beach. Nominated as administrator for Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Senate confirmation required, but not yet scheduled.
I’m sure some are… but I would say certainly seems to be a much larger percentage that prioritize their hatred of trans… and don’t seem to do a lot of actual reach in protecting women.
Big thing is the terf label or stereotype is generally assumed to try to make it look like you are fighting for a group, rather than fighting against. Lets say hypothetically I’m claiming to be super in favor of protecting birds, and say that I hate wind farms because they kill birds
If you never once hear me talk about house cats, or poachers, or any of 500 other things that can kill birds, you’ll pretty quickly catch on that I’m not actually pro-bird. Especially if I start reposting statistics about wind farms that have already been debunked etc…
Polygraphs terrify me, I’ve never had to do one, but I know I’m always holding in huge waves of anxiety and paranoia. Which you know is all lie detector tests do, is read signs of nervousness. Hence they have a high false positive amoung people who are anxious and are completely unable to detect anything on psychopaths and people with strong emotional control (as well as those who have learned tricks to game the system… (IE methods to make symptoms show stronger on the baseline questions so that you can lessen them on questions you are lying during).
I suppose we’ll find out when he’s in charge of medicare and medicaid.
State’s rights really just means red states rights. Red states should be allowed to do whatever the fuck they want… blue states should wait until all the red states also agree with it.
One of the few things I actually believe musk was not lying when he said he was joking about it from the begining with no serious intents. IE his line saying “I have a move called the walrus where I just lie on top of my opponent and don’t do anything”. To me more or less backs the statement that he was just goofing around.
Very much unlike his Nazi rhetoric. Where every action he makes and everything he says seems to tell me he’s politically aligned with the worse of white supremacists.
All basic needs met just for existing!, Being a domesticated animal actually does seem like it beats the hell out of wild life…
Course I suppose it depends on what animal what context. Obviously a workhorse, or any food animals would be pretty horrific. I’d imagine though zoo animals, pets, etc… would be pretty superior lifes than even humans carve out for themselves.
While yeah also an insane horror movie plot if “when they turn 40, they walk into that barn and never come out”.
