Coffee Talk: 7 Words You Can't Say to Jack Johnson

He needs an ass kicking

The prices are messed up for sure, though. Like the manufacturers have calculated the cost savings for just the gas a car would otherwise consume over the 6 years people finance cars for and have simply tacked that dollar amount onto the price.

VW ID4 costs 40-50 k.
VW Tiguan (same size SUV) costs 28-35.

And they do it because people will figure "eh, I will save that much in gas over the time I own it", with literally no consideration for anything else. If there was a petrol only or hybrid version of the bus up there at 35-40 k, I would already be on a waitlist.

It's like when LED bulbs came out and were like 10-15 bucks each. You just know the manufacturers just said well, a person would replace Incandescent bulbs 10 times in the years this bulb will last at a buck each, so.... THAT'S the price. When you know they cost like 15 cents to make.

I would love to know the manufacturing cost difference between forging aluminum blocks vs winding some copper wires (over simplified, I know).

It doesn't even add up gas-savings wise unless you drive your car a shit ton (in which case range issues will prohibit you from driving one).

And i'm not as sure as I once was that they'll find a cheaper way to make these things.

I bet shes a fun date. Maybe happy hour at the Red Lobster drinking Shrimp Wreck Marys, then some Cheddar Bay biscuits, head home for some intercourse, then maybe some Jenga and Bud Light Lime.

Sounds like a good time, but it Depends

I don't know if Vivek was talking about himself or Trump - The thing is it doesn't matter, he's right in either case.

And he did this on the taxpayers dime, along with all his security detail needed.

Every reservation I have about EVs gets thrown out the window when my heart sees how cool these look.

Then you realize...it's a Volkswagen

The number of cuts in this 14 second video kinda make me think debating is a bad idea.

 

[forty_three]

You'd think that Senators and Congressmen looking at kiddie pr0n, doing campaign finance violations, insider trading and taking bribes plus all the rich people not paying taxes skews the number a bit.

Donnie Two Scoops alone commits several hundred felonies a day that we know about.

Can we actually even call them debates anymore, it's just hurling insults and screaming matches. If people haven't made up their mind about who they are voting for by now, any debate that happens isn't going to change their mind.

You mean:
Candidate one - Answers question thoroughly
Candidate two - I'm going to do great things, like the late great Hannibal Lector!
Press - both sides scored points
Isn't helpful?

I would kind of like to see someone ask Donald who he thinks has done more for the world and or country - him or Jesus. I am not sure he'd be able to resist saying himself.

Edit - and if he couldn't, I am not sure it would matter at this point. The 'religious' right would probably agree with him.

Their first debate still stands out as a “what in the hell did I just watch?” moment.

Biden’s offer to debate came with some pretty unusual rules, though.

First Trump-Biden Debate Could Come as Early as June

The president wants two debates before early voting begins, with no crowds. Donald J. Trump appeared to agree to the dates, but said he wanted voters present.

www.nytimes.com

No audience, no RFK Jr. (I’m told by Canadian political folks that this is anti-democratic anytime someone mentions maybe not inviting Elizabeth May or the BQ to leaders debates for them to waste everyone’s time) and no debate commission that usually handles these things.

It's all about projection with these asshats. He knows what he does every day.

It's a long way out but it goes without saying Biden needs to 1) not look completely dead and 2) wipe the floor with Trump at these debates or it's probably game over.

Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden

A new set of Times/Siena polls, including one with The Philadelphia Inquirer, reveal an erosion of support for the president among young and nonwhite voters upset about the economy and Gaza.

www.nytimes.com

This shows Trump with a double digit lead in Georgia and Nevada and 7 point leads in both Michigan and Arizona. That's plenty to get him back to the White House before even touching NC, PA, WI or any other state where the Democrats might be shooting themselves in the foot (NY? NJ? Lots of Jewish folks there, lot of them pretty pissed off at the moment).

They can put the debate up on the sphere screen afterward.
