I almost miss Android Raptor popping in to go "It's absolutely MAGAt crotch goblins' fault also did you know Catholic priests are pedophiles and trans women never molest anyone?"
 
Come on usa invade canada already.
I wish they would try something so we could stomp them.
Eric Adams, Mike Johnston, Brandon Johnson, and Michelle Wu.
Wu is already potentially in some shit because the DoJ is looking into Tania Fernandes Anderson and the rest of the Boston City Council for stealing taxpayer money.
 
Blue Texas is all but a foregone conclusion. Why is nobody outside of this thread talking about this?
It’s gone super red but now I know its going to vote Republican for the next century.
I want a Diamond Dome.
We need to step up our drone defenses on the border.
I'll definitely believe the governor of Illinois, a state that's had 4 of its last 10 governors charged with corruption and served time.

In 2022 the University of Illinois Chicago ranked the state as the 2nd most corrupt in America
Nothing good comes out of Chicago unless it’s someone fleeing it.
I think the real takeaway of the night was Trump floating zero interest on American cars.

That might be too much, too good to be true? Like, you want to get cars to a “meh” place where the cost/benefit isn’t skewed too bad between males and models, and then win the customers with quality. It’s outright hostile to just poison the market against Japanese and German cars. I love BMW but actually Germany is really fucking gay right now, so maybe just don’t poison the market against Japanese cars. Japan is like our best friend on the planet

I’d rather one of two things.

1: a stripped down options that an average person has a chance in hell of being able to afford in cash and totally sidestep financing

2; repeal planned obsolescence, bring back cars that live for 20-30 years

But either way, just saying those magic words.. Trump wants us to actually make cars again. He should get a third term just for that
A lot of “foreign” cars are actually made here and even more will be made here because of the tariffs.
that's some sovcit level kook shit
I think we have them on the ropes.
Do you honestly think that the funding will stop? Trump's mandate has been completely shattered today. The Supreme Court will keep the USAID gravy train rolling forever.
I hope he tells them to stick it where the sun don’t shine.
Come on usa invade canada already.
We need to liberate Alberta.
 
Starting price of the Silverado:
View attachment 7058481

Not a huge price difference, especially if you don't trust the official inflation numbers. People just have higher standards these days.

The price of a $75k pickup should be compared to a 1968 Cadillac, not a truck, and even then you get way more for your money with a modern vehicle.

This is not an apt comparison. The features on a 1968 cadillac were far above what new vehicles had available at the time. A modern $75k pickup has no features that are above and beyond what most new vehicles have available.
 
The case involves a small amount of USAID payments that contractors say their owed for work already performed.

Honestly this is the correct ruling for the Supreme Court to make and it doesn't really hurt Trump's agenda in any significant way.
I was surprised how much dooming there's been and accused "betrayals" by the Supreme Court over this. Hopefully whatever retarded work they did is scrutinized that it was actually done, but it's not like the SC reopened USAID or anything. They just had some unpaid dues hit their court and decided those people need to be paid. USAID is still dead, folks.
 
Pro-Hamas protestors have taken over the Milstein Library as Barnard College in NYC. Let's see if Trump meant what he said about people like that being removed.
 
I hope DJ becomes an American Hero and I hope Corey's and Laken's families the best.
hate to break it to you, but unless DJ has cops in the family it's very likely DJ will run into an asshole cop that will fuck his life up and he'll give up the dream of being a cop. which is a shame since black cops do better with black criminals but its the reality. its' the same idea as when rookie bleeding heart cops quite the force because their misplaced optimism caused them to get fucked by skels on simple procedural shit like tightly handcuffing a mother fucker.
 
okay, so we blame you when The Happening happens, got it
Don't worry, nothing ever happens. The Happening is gonna Happen't
These commies really are willing to do anything that makes Trump look bad, up to and including the destruction of a sovereign country. They're absolute psychotics
Liberals would gladly see their own entire nation reduced to nuclear ash and radioactive pits if the alternative was to work with Trump on anything. I'm not even really exaggerating when I say they'd rather kill us all than admit they were wrong and reverse course. I am just glad they haven't been given a choice with Nuclear Holocaust as a possible option, despite their best efforts. The death of a sovereign nation to them has as much effect as a movie with a sad ending and wil remain in their memory for less time than Captain America getting the N word pass.
 
Somewhat almond activating that they sent the Foreign Legion and not actual French Army
why? the FFL are great at fighting and they're not real frogs (aside from le officers).

You can get a basement-level car for $21k but it has a ton of bells and whistles that would have been unavailable or high-end luxury in the past. Modern cars really ARE better, but they're a fuck to keep running once they start wearing out (which they do much later than old ones did). They've also gotten better since the bad old days when they were still figuring shit out.

you want to know what's crazy? synth oil can take an engine to 10k-18k miles. that's how good shit has become (sans all the spying on your shit if you plug your phone).
 
Rep. Crockett: "Fight for what we deserve, my ancestors built this motherfcker"

0.mp4
Her ancestors did not build shit for free in Texas, a de facto free state. And Crockett is a Texas state Rep, one of the most powerful people on the planet by default... then you realize her county is DALLAS COUNTY.

Fuck off.
