  1. More bad news for the military. Its becoming a lap-dog for conservative ideas. I apologize in advance to service personal but its true. New Pentagon training refers to protesters, journalists as 'adversaries'. In only four years the leaders of the military have sunk to new lows to pervert their profession. Sad.

    covid-19

    Another bonafide pro-trump idiot dies of covid. The co-founder of conservative student group Turning Point USA, Bill Montgomery, has died from complications of the coronavirus,... “I really wish people would just stop politicizing this pandemic and grow up while innocent people around us are dying,” Hull also said. “You have no idea how painful it is to be forced to sit at home while your loved one dies alone in a hospital.”... one of Montgomery’s goals was to get Kirk, a close ally of Donald Trump Jr., elected president one day. Maggio called Montgomery “a conservative through and through” who “wore it as a badge of honor.”..Over the course of the pandemic, Turning Point USA representatives have downplayed the impact of the coronavirus on public life."
  3. "Mr. Trump also for the first time hinted at blaming subordinates for failing to bring the matter to his attention. “If it reached my desk, I would have done something about it,” he said. Officials have said the assessment was in his written intelligence brief in February, ... “It never reached my desk,” Mr. Trump told Axios. “You know why? Because they didn’t think — intelligence — they didn’t think it was real. They didn’t think — they didn’t think it was worthy of — I wouldn’t mind — if it reached my desk, I would have done something about it.”... Mr. Trump also suggested to Axios that Russia’s provision of arms to the Taliban was a kind of understandable payback for America’s backing of fighters opposing the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan during the 1980s. “We supplied weapons when they were fighting Russia, too,” Mr. Trump said. Well at least you and trump are on the same page.
  4. The current GOP leadership will be singing the Blues and double checking their banking accounts to make sure they stole enough for retirement.
  5. News FLASH, trump can read if the writing is on a wall! Its good news.
  6. Joe is on the right track but a bit premature. I'll roll with Bigun on this one. Now if trump has his way, W/O an election upcoming, W/O a independent Judiciary. trump and Barr would be off to a good start on the dictatorship. The senate is currently a body of yes-men.More than anything it shows the vulnerabilities of US checks and balances.

    Trump donated $100,000 of his salary to fight coronavirus. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees announced Monday that he and his wife Brittany are donating $5 million through the Brees Dream Foundation to help build healthcare centers throughout the state of Louisiana." Which would be his second $5 million donation to fight covid.

    1696 Americans died yesterday which would have added 1051 men, women and children to the trump Death Clock. All you need to know about America today, he is and always will be wrong. Child hospitalizations from Covid-19 surge 23% in Florida as schools statewide must reopen A 9-year-old who died of coronavirus had no known underlying health issues, family says. Kimmie is the fifth minor in Florida to die from Covid-19, according to the latest health records. The others were an 11-year-old boy in Miami-Dade County, an 11-year-old girl in Broward County, a 16-year-old girl in Lee County and a 17-year-old boy in Pasco County." 'Thanks, but no thanks' - Norwegians reject Trump's immigration offer. Norway has 10% of the Covid infections and deaths as compared to the US,per capita. Do you think people from the EU, from Norway, will immigrate to the US like trump wants?

    covid-19

    The sad state regarding the lack of information and resources in the US fight against C-19. Is laid out by the National Association of County and City Health Officials. It objected to the WH blocking $25 billion for contact tracing and enhanced testing. It has stated that with the current levels of covid infections the US needs 100,000 contact tracers. Which would cost $3.7 billion. The US federal government has spent nothing to support contact tracing. Arkansas as an example has announced plans to hire 350 contact tracers which if completed would bring the total to 900, 3722 are needed at current infection numbers."In Florida, where the pandemic is surging terribly, the same estimator calculates that 291 tracers per 100,000 residents are needed. Yet as of early July, the state had only seven per 100,000."
  10. Translate from one drunk realtor to an intoxicated DZ operator.
  11. FIFY frequently those who doubt science believe in conspiracy theories. "Over a third of Americans believe that global warming is a hoax (Swift, 2013), and over half believe that Lee Har-vey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy ( Jensen, 2013)" A related property of conspiracy theories is that they can protect cherished beliefs (e.g., vaccination is harmful; climate change is not a serious concern) by casting over-whelmingly disconfirmatory evidence (e.g., scientific findings) as the product of a conspiracy He is not alone but the numbers like him are remarkably similar to the number that still support trump. Fact is irrelevant. Logic is a feather hammer.

    Testing every other day of everyone involved, hand sanitizing half way through each inning, etc. For trump all OK to open schools for kids. " MLB took care of the upfront cost of reconfiguring the facility to handle COVID-19 tests: $250,000 to purchase the necessary lab instruments and $1.325 million for testing reagents, according to a league spokesman."
  13. I heard there was a 2018 Tesla model three that had a recall for spark plug issues. Check into that to help your arguments.
  14. On target. Personally I think its because he was one of those that shorted the stock.
  15. Everyone in SC has heard of the trump Death Clock. Which now stands at over 87,000 American men, women and children. What has not been addressed by conservatives is the amount of debt that trump would have added to the national account. Which would have had no real benefit to all Americans. Currently it stands at $13 trillion over the four years that trump has been in control. As everyone knows trump promised to eliminate the national debt in his first eight years in office. That GDP would grow at 4,5 and even 6% per year under his administration.In fact despite that $13 trillion in additional debt and stimulus. US growth under trump has only been .3% better than Obama's. Thats three tenths of one percent better. The children of Americans will have to pay this off. Hard decisions will have to be made. Cuts to the benefits and programs of veterans.To Social Security, defense, education, etc. So the relevant question is how much of this $13 trillion is directly due to trump's largess to his friends, himself and to big business. If the 62% ratio of the death clock were applied to the 2020 $3.7T deficit the amount would be $2.29 trillion dollars. If that same ratio of incompetence was applied to the $13 trillion amount it would be just over $8 trillion of debt that trump would have been responsible for. Given that GDP growth above Obama's was only three tenths of a percent.That the US deficit to GDP this year is 17.9% (CBO figures). Do you feel 17.6% better off now than you were under the Obama administration?
  16. Protests are not a homogeneous body of people. Anyone can join merely by walking into the group and they can have entirely different motives. Just as with LE some rouge officers decide to assault a law abiding citizen. Its important to keep in mind that some individuals within the protest movement. May have criminal motives completely separate from the protest and merely use the protest as cover. Anarchists so to speak.Just as there can be some cops who use the opportunity to "teach a lesson" to protestors. By aiming rubber bullets to the heads of peaceful protestors.
  17. A sign from God. Soon there will be nothing left of trump anywhere. It will be as if he never existed.
  18. Clowns with live rounds in the chamber. Clowns shooting protestors in the head with rubber bullets. Commanded by All the ways Trump’s closest confidants insult his intelligence
  19. Both interesting but IMO owner repurchases of the same brand mean the most. Because you may have complaints but the rubber meets the road when you repurchase the same brand again. I know several people that bought new BMW autos beautiful cars, quiet, fast, etc. Not one ended up repurchasing another. Nightmare issues with electronics and very expensive repair bills. As soon as the warranty was done the cars were gone.
  20. Tesla has the highest brand loyalty of any auto maker period.IF, IF they have higher initial defects as your quoted source alleges than some other auto's . Then they must address those defects, provide superior service, have a superior driving experience and reliability. That every other brand. in order to overcome those initial defect liabilities. Deciding that you don't like Tesla doesn't help your overall anti-EV agenda. Its a car company and is what it is. Obfuscation would be labeling the better educated, higher income Tesla buyers as "Muskophiles". IMO Honda is a no-brainer auto, a top choice.
  21. The wife!. Come on man up the Germans have you and you know it. If a German sells it you buy it.
  22. Boy have those Germans ever brainwashed you. As quality and product experience goes up, generally loyalty goes up. Quality, service, product satisfaction is directly related to loyalty. An inverse relationship would mean that poor quality i.e. increasing defects, poor customer service and poor brand experience would have increased loyalty. Your story is flawed as is your understanding of an inverse relationship. Sigh, trump is German so I guess that makes sense. The stupider trump is the more loyal his supporters become.Thats an inverse relationship.
  23. Why Tesla has the most loyal customers. Sept. 6, 2014 Forbes, that would be the same source you quoted.1. A Good Experience Creates Loyal Customers Tesla has the most loyal customers of any car company with an overall satisfaction rating of 90%. A staggering 80% of customers buy or lease another Tesla for their next car. Some customers were even willing to wait years to get their Model 3s.Feb. 2019 Mercedes Benz customer loyalty 2019 44% Gee that would be 1/2 the loyalty of Tesla. Brent, quit while you're behind! You dig the hole deeper and deeper with every example. You haven't graduated from trump University have you?
  24. Military veterans said they banded together to protect the free speech of demonstrators. "A week after federal officers in Portland, Ore., brutally struck a Navy veteran who said he had approached them simply to ask a question, a group of military veterans on Friday joined the front lines of the city’s growing protests. Duston Obermeyer, a Marine Corps veteran, said he and other veterans were there to make sure federal officers did not infringe on the free speech of protesters, who numbered in the thousands. “Our veterans are here specifically to support the rights of the protesters to protest,” said Mr. Obermeyer, who said he had deployed three times during a decade in the Marines." The question to be asked is why has US schools failed so miserably in teaching the values associated with the US constitution? Why is it left to vets to protect not only free speech. But the abuse of power of the presidency?
