You hang on Trumps every word more than I do. I'll take your word on it....then ignore it.
I'm saying he doesn't have firm beliefs about anything and he can be easily bought because he's transactional. Are you going to pretend you didn't hear him bellow about EVs for years until Elon bought his change of heart?
I actually started looking, not seriously though we got a good deal on the beamer so we'd have to put in more $$ to get a later model. That's the only thing about EVs that give me pause. Range (which is getting way better) and battery life. I know that batteries get less efficient as time goes on so going too far back in the used market can't be good. No telling what's been going on with the car and how it was maintained and in the case of EVs the battery is the big thing.
Trump didn't dislike the electric cars per say, i doubt he had ever ridden in one, he hated that the government was mandating the change.
And in other news , i need to take my late model Dodge Ram in for recall work.
To be honest we've probably sh*t posted at each other while charging side by side a few times.
Where’s your closet Wachovia?
Gonna pull the trigger on som TSLA once i get back from my tax guy how much i can contribute to my Roth.Let's compare graphs
How would that apply? It was $173 a year ago and it's not much higher now. It peaked a month out from the election and has done a nose dive ever since.
Mature people, unlike maga clowns, understand that life is expensive.
Not much higher?
5-20? Wow. Is this the same I would get for burning down another brand charger? Seems like we might be giving special punishment for some reason in this specific case. Isn’t that what got your panties so wadded up after J6?
Sure but the biggest bump came from the expectation that DOGE would be a huge success and now that its overstepped it's authority and pissed off a majority of Americans, the downhill slide reflects their sentiments. Down 45% in three months is a huge drop no matter how you slice it. Consider it a referendum on his popularity.
It's not just a few people they're pissing off. FoxNews put a poll out today that shows 60% dispprove of his sledgehammer approach. When will those of you in the 40% speak out?
How many of those wanting EV mandates and are now setting fire to his dealerships? ****ing hypocritesIt's not just a few people they're pissing off. FoxNews put a poll out today that shows 60% dispprove of his sledgehammer approach. When will those of you in the 40% speak out?
A judge today that ruled against him digging around in our SS system spoke for a lot of us.
“The DOGE team is essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at [the agency], in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion. It has launched a search for the proverbial needle in the haystack, without any concrete knowledge that the needle is actually in the haystack,” she added.
The team has “unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans,” but has “never identified or articulated even a single reason” why DOGE would need “unlimited access” to Social Security’s entire record systems, which would risk “exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government,” the judge wrote in her ruling.
“Indeed, the government has not even attempted to explain why a more tailored, measured, titrated approach is not suitable to the task,” she said. “Its method of doing so is tantamount to hitting a fly with a sledgehammer.”
She noted the irony of the government fighting to conceal the identities of DOGE staff “because defendants are concerned that the disclosure of even their names would expose them to harassment and thus invade their privacy.”
“The defense does not appear to share a privacy concern for the millions of Americans whose [Social Security] records were made available to the DOGE affiliates, without their consent, and which contain sensitive, confidential, and personally identifiable information,” she wrote
I don't even get what for or against EVs has to do with it. This is a crime. Period. It's not a protest or political statement. Arrest them, put them on trial and lock them up.
