  • Senate Committee to Challenge Auto-Safety Mandates That Hurt ‘Affordability’ | Republicans question value of automatic braking, rear-seat reminders

  • They also put a distracting video monitor in front of the driver 100% of the time, not just the 0.2% while backing. Manufacturers have moved a lot of controls to that screen, rather than leaving them on tactile buttons and switches that could be operated without taking eyes off the road.

    How many collisions have been caused by distractions from the these screens?

  • With a backup camera comes a video screen necessarily in view of the driver, contributing to distracted driving at all times the vehicle is not in reverse. How many kids have been killed because of such distractions?

  • These "useless bloodsuckers" aren't the problem. The "problem class" is everyone with a 7-figure income.

    Well, get on with it.

  • Elon Musk’s Grok AI tells users he is fitter than LeBron James and smarter than da Vinci

  • He's fitter and smarter than Donald, but neither LeBron nor Leonardo.

  • Look, you don't need a JAG officer on standby to know you're not supposed to open up on a crowd of fuckin kids.

    Agreed, but the order is not always so clearly unlawful. You pretty much do need a lawyer on standby to challenge violations of Posse Comitatus. It is the servicemember's duty to refuse to conduct domestic law enforcement activities like deportation, for example, but they can be required to support those same activities in other ways.

  • Massive property tax increase. Owner-occupants are exempted from that tax.

    As soon as a bank initiates foreclosure proceedings, they owe the full, non-exempt tax rate. That stick gives them a strong incentive to work with their borrower.

  • Massively increase property taxes. Exempt owner-occupants from those increases.

    You want a second home, you're going to be paying the full, punitive tax rate on one of them.

  • Michelle Obama says US ‘not ready for a woman’ to be president: ‘Don’t even look at me about running’

  • Least popular Democratic candidate in 2020. After Trump's first term, any Democrat but Hillary would have won.

  • The incumbent party rarely does as well in the second term election as they did in the first term.

    The difference between the two candidates was 2020 vs 2024.

    Harris would have won in 2020. And if she had, she probably would have won in 2024.

  • Megyn Kelly suggests Epstein wasn't an 'actual pedophile' if victims went through puberty

    Jump

  • Technically, pedophilia is considered a mental disorder. it's listed in the DSM-V. Pedophiles could be considered mentally ill.

    Hebophilia and ephebophilia aren't illnesses. They are crimes.

  • Democrat who caved on shutdown says Chuck Schumer knew all along

    Jump

  • Sadly I could so see that happening... and some crazy stupid arguement that bypasses the term limits because democrat trump is considered a new candidate

    Nah, nothing crazy. Turns out we've all been looking at the 22nd amendment all wrong. Here's the relevant clause:

    No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,

    "No person shall be elected more than twice. The 22nd amendment only applies to persons. It was never intended to apply to GodKing Trump.

  • The DNC's strategy is for Trump to run as a Democrat in 2028.

  • '2026 will be a blood bath': MAGA says 'warning signs are flashing' after blowout losses

    Jump

  • We can spend 80 hours a week from now until the midterms, promoting progressives. The question is what we should do when those leftists don't actually appear on the ballot. Until the DNC realizes centrist candidates can't win a general election, it doesn't really matter what we do in the primaries.

    When there are no progressives to vote for, rejecting their garbage candidates is the only path to progress.

  • Also-also: it happened in October, not in January.

    In my example, the indefinite "you" is an orange doofus who arrived in January.

    I was a little inconsistent on who wanted to bury him and who was stopping him from being buried. Suffice it to say that everyone involved is terrible, and the best we can hope for is a giant meteor.

    Basically, I explained both "What" and "Why".
