"To say that this proposal benefits Tesla over domestic automakers is profoundly ignorant of basic economics. But, you be you."

Tesla is filling parking lots with unsold Teslas but to say that tax credit didn't stimulate sales for the past few years is ridiculous; Musk just doesn't want it to now benefit other companies like GM or Ford because he doesn't want them competing with Tesla. Only a moron wouldn't already know that since it is discussed in the article the thread is based on. Duh! But now eith a potential Trump appointee claiming global warming isn't real we do know that all the stupid people in the U.S. will be repeating it while the rest of the world laughs at their ignorance! EVs could be a big help in silving that major problem whichthe idiots dob't even acknowledge is a problem.

"Parlatore said the payment to the married woman was of "a significantly reduced amount" and that Hegseth, a veteran turned Fox News host, settled because it was during the "Me Too" movement and he didn't want to lose his job at the network if the accusation became public. The attorney's statement did not say how much Hegseth's accuser was paid in the settlement.

Parlatore said Hegseth felt that he was the victim of blackmail."such important positions.

The Sec. of Defense position is too critical to allow any confidentiality agreement to prevent an investigation into every aspect of his life, the mere mentiion of the fear of blackmail requires that investigators know every detail of anything that could compromise uim and the same should even apply to Presidents. No stone should be left unturned to find potential vulnerabilities for compromise.

This should have happened in 2014 when Barrack Obama watched Russians invade Crimea in violation of the Buddaphest Treaty signed in 1992, No nation should be allowed to invade another nation with immunity from retaliation. That should bw applied universally for all nation inckuding super-powers.

Just the other day MAGAmorons were bragging about the gains in the stock market. I laughed at the at the time and told them just hold on Trump will manage to F that up just like he will do to America. Can't wait for another 2007-2008 collapse and the way it's going so far with his ridiculous Cabinet choices it won't be long til America will be added to his list of bankruptcies and failed businesses. Why after his history i was still reading comments by people calling him a great businessman which perhaps could be considered true if selling out to Vladimir was a smart business move instead of treason.

Tuhe people behind thid censorship belong to cults which break up families and reduce the quality of education available in Florida's ublic Schools. The teachings of Jesus would have been banned back when he walked the earth. I swear I just can't stand these Evangelical Christians imposing their personal opinions on everyone else. Maybe next time Democrats get oower we need to passt legislation to keep their stupid noses out of everyone else's business.

wHY IS AN ARTICLE FROM Jeff Bezos' newspaprt the basis foe A RGRWAD HERE? i WILL FIND MY INFORMATION ELSEWHERE. tHE ARTICLE TALKS ABOUT THE DANGER PRESENTED TO OUR DEMOCRACY BY AN IMMIGRnt billionaire wjo threatens political warfare against any Congressman who actually tries to do what they believe is right for the nation.If America is just gooing to be an oligarchy like Russia because of billionaires then we need to act fast to get the money oit of politica there is no telling where this will lead except in disasyer for America! But meanwhile I'll not be reading any articles fromthe Washington Poat. Sols out newsapers aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Surprisingly too virtually everything Amazon sells is available through other vendors. Woildn't a nationeide consumer strike against Amazon be fub?

"But Russia Russia Russia for #1253 time gets the front page"

But in 1937 the whine of isolationists and we had plenty of industrialists visiting Germany and kissing Hitler's ass just as they do today with Putin. tgen it was Hitler, Hitler, Hitler because that was the threat to democracy and western civilizationtoday it's Putin but you don't think we should be concerned or talk about it? Do you even realise how stupid that would be? Probably you don't!;

#4 I wouldn't be surprised but i suspect unions are the scaprgoats to many Americans who arre struggling. it's a shame because unions have helped millions achieve economic stability and security it's a shame that so many American workers let billionaires like Bezos scare them to prevent them from doing what is best for themselves.

i for one hope thry hang Putin from the closest tree. What an evil psychopath but our President considers him to be his mentor. And now he has nominated another Putin sychophant to be in charge of our intelligence agencies? OK Trumpies, let's hear you defend that defend RFK Jr. to be in charge of our health agencies? Matt Gaetz to be AG? I'd have to say this President is off to a crazy start! I think he likes the controversy because he wants to view himself as transformative but he is basically incompetent and has absolutely no capacity to consider the ramifications of his stupid nomunations but now we'll see if the new Republican controlled Senate will stand up to him I have serious doubt that they have the courage to do it. I think they will lay down and let Trump gut all of our healthcare system just to prove he can.

Only question now.....how to blame Biden? Don't worry they will try!

Who could have predicted that Trump was compl!etely owned by Putin? Oh yeah.....everyone!

An undistinguished career built entirely off of his father's legacy, I couldn't care less where this pretend journalist pops up next any more than I care about the career parh of Fon Jr,

To propose Austerity here, now in th United States is unnevessary and just evil. Our economy is doing very well despite the lies from Trump and Republicans. There is absolutely no nrrf tocut two trillion from the budget. What's needed is to let the Trump tax cuts for the billionaires expire as it is scheduled to in 2025. If it does our deficit stops growing amd wre start paying down debt as Bill Clinton proved and in doing so he set off the greatest economy and growth in wea;th since FDR.
Historically in our history from the 60s to todqy there is only one "big dog" and it ASN'T EVER bUDSH OR tRUMP!

.

"President-elect Donald Trump picked Tesla CEO Elon Musk and biotech company founder Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican presidential candidate, to lead an effort to cut spending, eliminate regulations and restructure federal agencies."

What he is proposing is nothing new; it's called "Austerity" and they did it in Great Britaib and it caused much unhappiness and lon term accomplished nothing. Musk's proposal causes paib only for yhe working class none for the rich! Kill the programs that care for our elders (me) and replace them with nothing. Kill ACA a/k/a Obamacare and leave millios with nothing, L think thst's what MAGA means; If you don't have cash to pay forb healthcarem sorry you die! Oh well!

"Little Marco" is a Cuban American but don't call him Latino brcause Cubans think they are superior to all other nationalities of the Hispanic world south of the US border. They all supported Trump who wants to round up all the other immigrants from Mexici or South America and Cubans are fine with that. I used to know and resprvt many Cuban Americans, emphasis on "used to."

Our air and our water are just getting too God damned clean we need more pollution and which more forest fires fueled by deought caused by climate change....oops sorry, can't say that in the free state of Florida.

Elon Musk has lately become so influential over our government that I think it is important that concerned Americans look deeper into who he really is.

Elon Musk, by his own admission, is an illegal alien. But he's very rich and there is a completely different set of rules and laws for rich people and we all know it!

Israel won't negotiate a real peace because a two state solution is not acceptable to the Zionists. The U.S. should tell Israel either agree to a real two state solutiion or you are on your own. No more assistance from u.S.

Anyone figure it out yet? I honestly think i have.

We will never take our coutry back as long as Murdoch is allowed to broadcast propaganda 24/7/365! It will come down to that eventually and he will be seen, as the enemy of freedom, democracy and America that he is! Til we stop the poison our nation and the world will just continue to get sicker til it just dies!

"if things get really out of hand the world will put an end to it same as they did with Nazi Germany."

Yeah, just like they did in WWII before the United States entered the war. Today? Yeah right? And just which country is prepared to take on the U.S. military? Which would correlate to Germany in WWII The onlything we could not defeat is nuclear war but then that would kill nearly everyone; if not in the initial bombing, the radiation would be blown everywhere. The Cherbonl melt down, which was tiny compared to a nuclear missile attack, killed cattle hundreds of miles away.

Hey Donald Trump, you stupid dumb f**k,....your buddy Vlad is publicl yinsulting you, publicly, around the wotld right now! He's daring you to even say something about it because he knows you are such a coward you won't!

"This is Bidens genocide. Still.'

I must have missed the day Biden was elected Prime Minister of Israel. Put the blame where it belongs i.e: Nutty yahoo! He Zionists who, through their extreme religious beliefs, believe God said they can claim and occupy settlements wherever they choose to do so. It isquite possible that israel could cwexist with a Palestinian state next door but that would prevent the Zionists from stealing land that has been home to Palestinians for hunddreds of years.....because their Bible says they are the "Chosen People" and He told them they can take anyrhing they want. Religion is the worst curse ever put on mankind!

Welcome to America returned to Greatness bu Fuehrer Trump. Slowly the answers to MAGA are going to be realised by everyone inclufing the ---------!
