The Hybrid seemed to be the way to go at the time and from what I've seen it still seems to be the way to go.

I've never understood why hybrids weren't pushed more than EVs.

Better range, they don't need an entirely new infrastructure for charging, the cars are still functional if power goes down.

My wife used to drive a Prius then transitioned to a Kia Niro for more cargo space. Both got 50+ miles to the gallon. Prius drove really well. The Niro felt too flimsy and light for my tastes and had really awful pickup.

Shocker.

Wait for all the puling when companies start having to pay legal residents more and prices for work go up.

I was on the phone with my brother who lives in FL a few weeks ago. He's a big DeSantis fan. I gave him a bunch of ---- when he mentioned that the guys doing work on his house were Mexicans and couldn't speak a word of English. He didn't like it when I pointed out that he's more than willing to hire them but bitches about them coming into the country.

Those who buy these items, the ads from Patriots Dynasty, Patriots Future and USA Patriots suggest, will be rewarded when Trump unveils a new monetary system that will turn these products into legal tender worth far more than the purchase price.

Nope. Totally not an authoritarian cult. Completely normal people regularly believe their preferred politicians are going to start a bank system and their own currency that gives money away for loyalty.

Part of me feels sorry for these people.

The rest of me thinks these people should be institutionalized.

Oh that poor poor stooge.

When you work for a Republican in any position that raises money...you're going to find bad bad things happening.

Republicans are grifters and perverts. They gave up on governing in good faith and being decent people a long time ago.

It's really incredible how MAGA morons will view the corrupt POSes in their party as purely partisan victims while doing nothing but making up partisan nonsense about Dems.

Lie to smear good people while lying to protect and deflect for bad people. All while being "Chreestian."

Yet she'll sit there and blather on about Jesus to religious nuts and they'll bobble head along as if she's someone to follow or isn't a giant raging hypocrite who has likely broken the majority of Commandments.

The idiots here ran with this story and got all lathered up over it.

Nobody has ever accused them of being smart...

No. Don't be an ignorant, mouth-breathing ---- and flail your semi-translucent forearms and wrists.

Well. He's not a MAGA ----.

So that's not a given.

be targeted by "their" Federal Government.

Only thinks it's "his" when it wins.

Doesn't understand why he's an anti-American -------.

Righties are such piles of despicable ----.

I'm fairly convinced that the reason the right wingers are against any type of sex-ed in public schools is because for many kids that's when they realize they are being abused and being groomed.

It's also the reason, IMO, for the religious indoctrination against anything sexual. Make them ashamed to say anything about anything remotely sexual and you've done a large majority if the work needed to keep your abuse hidden.

Wealth inequality is the result of individuals making financial decision and life choices with financial ramifications in their own best interest.

You limit income inequality by limiting individual freedom.

Jesus Christ what an absolute load of crap.

Congrats, may there be as many more as y'all want.

Thanks! Just on. I'm getting too old for that level of sleep deprivation and, eventually, energy all day.

Remember! Swimsuits at Target are the real evil, though!

God if only the right would give churches the "Bud Light treatment."

It's entirely possible that Moscow is helping to fund and organize this crap. But I doubt many of those who insist they had a major influence on past elections will acknowledge this.

#4 | Posted by sentinel

I suppose it is.

But the same people who are insistent Moscow didn't interfere with the elections in 2016 and 2020 are, for some odd reason, defending by deflection for Nazi rallies regardless of who's funding it.

That's the primary question-why?

She's MAGA. Of course, she loves losing.

It's what MAGA does. It feeds their sense of victimhood and misery that they're addicted to.

due to his reckless spending and horrible economic recovery.

LOL his "horrible economic recovery" (recovery from the GOP's disastrous economic policies, a fact you conveniently ignore) was the only reason Trump didn't look as inept as he is. The "roaring economy" you worthless sacks of ---- take credit for was economic momentum gifted to you by 8 years of competent Dem governance.

the rate of debt increase under Trump was a fraction of Obama's and actually went down in 2017 due to fast expanding economy.

Once Obama dug us out of the hole the GOP put us in (spending was on par between W's final budgetary year and the next three under Obama), he had a rapidly declining deficit that was lower than any year under Trump.

Trump's first budget (2018) saw a ~20% increase in the deficit compared to Obama's final budgetary year (2017). His second had a ~50% increase from 2017, which was an additional ~25% increase in the deficit from his first budget.

So spare us the --------. We all remember the puling of the Republican "deficit hawks" when Trump's budgets were expanding that never went anywhere in the way of action. It was just words to save face while the supported the spending.

You -------- still believe the US government is an efficient, well oiled machine rather than the money pit of incompetence and corruption that it has become.

You're a ridiculous turd with nothing but strawmen and deflections.

How about you come up with that before spewing the rest of your nonsense.

#111 | Posted by Claudio

One, your demand is irrelevant to the overall topic and the lack of good faith consistently shown by the GOP, who's real goal is to cause economic pain and misery for power while manufacturing fake political intrigue to give themselves plausible deniability.

Second, dodge noted. Always figured you were too stupid to trust when it came to money issues

Third, whatever program you benefit from. Cut it. Cut it the exact amount you take and cut you out of it. That's good enough for me.

The problem for you leftists is that there are too few white Nazi's in the US so you must resort to constantly making ---- up.

The problem for you righties is that you're too mentally deficient to understand that the more radical the group, the more likely they are to do something stupid.

Number has nothing to do with it.

An interesting point, though, is why the deflection. What possible reason could you have to spout a bunch of made up -------- instead of simply saying "that dude screwed up, throw the book at him"?

Give a kid who has an imagination and a big back yard and you'd be surprised by what they can come up with.

No doubt. That's why we're unwilling suburbanites.

But it can't compare to the abilities I had to roam freely for long periods of time over long distances.

I think it also developed a level of independence and trust with my parents as well that's hard to replicate in a suburban setting. As early as 9 or 10 my mom would always make sure we had breakfast and were outside by 9:00 on summer mornings. Didn't care what or where I went as long as I was arriving home as the street lights turned on and she always made sure to have a pitcher of kool aid and some glass out on the patio if we needed it.

are you planning on having more than one kid?

Yes. Our little guy is approaching 1, which is how long our doc recommended we wait before getting pregnant again.

You would literally starve if I hid your EBT card under your work boots -------.

This is why we know you're a----------- POS.

You think having a job is an accomplishment.

You simply have no concept for how big a trillion dollars is - or even a billion for that matter. And politicians toss these words around because they know stooges like yourself will never question it - the numbers are too large for normal people to comprehend, much less the dull-normals like yourself.

#92 | POSTED BY CLAUDIO

Here's a hint, --------.

Numbers in the thousands aren't well understood by anyone. Our brains simply don't grasp values that large.

That includes self-absorbed ---------- like you.

You have to be an MBA. The only people in my life that think so highly of themselves while being stupid --------- like you are MBAs.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Know how I know you are not acting in good faith? It is because you, and the rest of the ------- Dems, cannot think of a single government program that can be cut or even have their spending frozen over the 20 years outside of some vague 'DoD spending'

Well, you idiots like to act like a national budget is like a personal budget, so let's play that game.

Let's say you make $5,000 a month. You spend $4,000 a month on mortgage/rent, utilities (gas, electric, internet, cell phone), transportation, groceries and other services and necessities like doctors, vet, plumbers ect. $3,000 a month spread out over 8-10 or more different entities.

But you're a gun nut and think the world is out to get you, so, you spend an additional $1,500 a month on guns, ammo, range fees ect.

When it comes time to balance your budget, do you look to cut marginal spending on a wide variety of required outlays? Or do you look to reduce excessive spending on your largest, less essential outlay?

- DoD spending you cheer on when it is sent over to Ukraine.

Because it's actually, finally necessary. Funny how the tool bags that lied us into Iraq and supported 20 years of constant war and trillions of lost costs are suddenly against military spending.

Well, that's what happens when you're a -------- who does what a teevee conman says you should do. Problem is you're the only person who doesn't see how transparent it is as you kick up dust and beat your flabby little man ----- over it.

You, and the other ------- Dems, truly think there is no limit to how high the national debt can go without consequences - you think this because you are not serious people.

Here comes the straw.

And right after scoffing at reducing the cost of our most wasteful, least beneficial to the populace budget line item.

You tend be to pseudo-intellectuals that have personal finances that resemble Argentina or Zimbabwe

Just STFU and stop digging, moron.

but you are the smart ones telling us how the country should run its finances after you have made a complete mess out of your own lives.

Straw straw straw.

And from a MAGA -------, nonetheless. A moron who's beholden to a failed bid-nisman who proves himself a gullible, stupid pile of human s&^& every time he opens his mouth.

Here is a hint - your goal should be to rid your dependence on government handouts, not how to get a bigger suck off the teat.

#90 | POSTED BY CLAUDIO

You're such a f&^%ing idiot.

The only "government handout" I ever took was a student loan. And I'm finishing my paying them out over the next two years or so.

So again, just learn to STFU and pay attention to your betters when they speak.

It was fantastic.

Hated growing up in a small town on the transition between urban and rural America (more rural than urban).

But now that I'm grown and have a young kid, I can't help but think I'd move back to that space (not that town, Jesus H not that specific town) in a heartbeat if I could be employed in my field in that space.

------- Chesterfield.

An entire suburb of rural -------- moves to the big city.

Republicans are always such classless sacks of crap.
