  • It's just a weird thing to say. Like it's clear as day that they haven't. Who does he think he's fooling?

  • I don’t think that should ever be an endorsement

    It wasn't. It was an answer to the question that was asked.

  • The agency told bidders it had not identified a way for people without a U.S. bank account to pay what they owe, and said the winning contractor would have to propose a solution.

    LOL how about how do you plan to enforce a fine on someone in another country? Are you going to invade them all?

  • “We don’t believe we have to go to Congress. We believe Congress has already given us the authority to do what we’re doing,”

    What do you mean "we believe"? They either did or they didn't. And surely doing so involves some sort of formal process that you could point to?

  • The claim "increased safety" is rather ironic in light of the post you're commenting on.

    The post I commented on is a single anecdote where no one was even remotely hurt. These things collectively have millions of miles on them. If you want counter evidence I can show you one of a billion anecdotes of terrible drivers.

    "Decreased cost" will only be true as long as they still have to compete with human drivers.

    I meant to the provider, not the end user.

  • President Donald Trump told a story about South Korea on Monday. Every single part of it is false.

    Yeah, I mean, if he says it, it's probably a lie.

  • I would argue the Vandal is the guy who gave a no-bid contract to one of his cronies who, predictably, botched it horribly.

  • I couldn't give the faintest fuck about the reflecting pool

    Yeah I'm pretty sure no one cares about the pool itself. It's just a shining example of the larger problem of corruption in The White House.

  • Its been done a couple dozen times, always compared on a per-mile basis.

  • Uber had a whole team devoted to avoiding legal scrutiny.

    Pretty sure every company has a legal team...

  • Decreased costs and increased safety.

  • Right!?

  • They are not intimate nor buddy-buddy with each other.

    The word used was not "intimate" nor "buddy buddy", it was "independent".

    I'm speaking generally

    Thenstop replying to me to argue about things I didn't say?

  • I'm sorry if the facts hurt your feelings

  • The branches communicate with each other, but ultimately work independently

    These can be interpreted as contradictory statements. And they're the same branch. That's the point.

    That is very different from

    Yes obviously thus situation is improper in many ways, but I was speaking to the specific statement.

  • I mean just because Republicans made it into a scandal doesn't mean there was anything improper about it. I would expect if a President had a legitimate concern that they would voice that concern to the AG to investigate. And that the AG would follow up on it.

    "Acting independently" can mean a lot of different things in different contexts and promising not to ever do it would just get them in hot water later down the road.

  • Found the Toyota rep

  • Remember when Elon was all about "transitioning the world to sustainable transportation"? LOL

  • Mmm my favorite Costco item...
