Obviously but I find it hard to believe a manufacturer would waste their time with that in 2018, but it does appear to be the case on LX and lower trims. They just get a 5" display.
American manufacturers (GM, Tesla, Ford) only make up a minority of sales here. The majority of car sales are manufacturers from "the rest of the world."
As a fellow stuffed crust fanatic, Papa Murphys version isn't great (despite them being my favorite "fast food pizza") and im not sure if I've had Dominoes version but doubt its that great either.
Your mention of "legality" assumes there's some neutral third party deciding what is and isn't acceptable, but when the fascists control the judicial branch and the law enforcement portion of the executive branch, it no longer matters what the law says.
But part of that is that I realize now that America (or, rather, the electors) is absolutely not going to vote for a woman, let alone a non-white one.
This seems like projection to me considering every third person in Congress is a woman, and considering you chose to ignore all her decisions and actions on the campaign trail, instead focusing on gender thereby infantilizing her.
They're just opportunists using any means they can to score political brownie points.
This Democratic mayor would be better served pointing out the fallacies in Republican arguments than kowtowing to Republican pressure and blaming the limited number of utility workers for not completing this monumental task fast enough. He could point out that Blackburn and Co. have been sitting on this 'DEI training' and 'tree trimming cutback' nonsense waiting for something like this to happen rather than acting upon it if they truly believed it was a risk to the grid. How else would she and her cronies have this information to pull out of their ass the instant something bad happens?
Again I don't see what this angle proves or disproves? I don't trust his word because Republican politicians have zero credibility. I also think Joe Biden has zero credibility and them advancing this through bureaucratic procedure doesn't make it any more or less credible. Even if the claim that they used it to push anti-Israel propaganda is false, it doesn't mean the claim that China used it to push propaganda is false.
Given what we know about social media and powerful governments leveraging it to their benefit, my default belief is to assume that they were using it for this purpose until proven otherwise. Nobody has yet attempted to even make an argument as to why they wouldn't also be using it for the same purpose, especially considering they've been running "the great firewall" to control the flow of information to their own population for more than 20 years.
You mean you want people to believe unsubstantiated claims that lack evidence?
Just because we don't have a signed confession and video recorded statement from the leader of China detailing a propaganda campaign doesn't mean this is a completely unsubstantiated claim that lacks evidence. I listed numerous pieces of circumstantial evidence and we can use Occam's Razor to conclude they would use this for that purpose.
We don't have hard evidence proving that Trump raped kids with Epstein, but I'd bet you believe he did based on the circumstantial evidence that we do know, so what's the difference between this and that? It's not as if China is a benevolent and altruistic world superpower. They're going to have their fingers in every pie just like the US would/does.
Can you provide any evidence, whether direct or circumstantial, demonstrating that they weren't using it for this purpose in order to substantiate the claim of "isn't?" Can you even make a good argument for why they wouldn't especially as a counter to all the western platforms doing it?
I'm not sure what this proves as I put zero stock in the word of a Republican senator. He could be telling the truth or he could be an opportunist using the support for Israel's genocide in Palestine to push the narrative he wants.
It's not a totally different claim. "Could/would" is what we use when we're forced to speculate due to a lack of insider knowledge. Claiming that it "isn't" is no more valid than claiming that it "is" in this situation, but we can use context clues like the fact that other nations are using social media for the same purpose and it originating in China, a fellow world superpower, to reason that they would be using it for similar purposes. Why wouldn't they be using an effective tool like this? This stuff isn't being created for altruistic reasons.
Well we can't do more than speculate since we don't have inside information, but this push started during Trump's last term before Biden was elected so it seems both of them are aligned on this point. Considering everyone is using social media to push their own nationalist propaganda, I don't see how one could argue China wasn't doing it too especially considering they're also a global superpower just like the US. Why wouldn't they use it for this purpose?
Do you think there's any social media platform isn't being used as a propaganda machine at this point? If not, why wouldn't the Chinese government use it for this purpose? If so, what makes TikTok different than anyone else?
So, you understand that there is a law that is already not being followed, and your solution is to propose another law requiring them to follow that law?
Not only that but:
let's not deport or detain U.S. citizens, requiring the body-worn cameras, requiring reporting on the use of force
All honor-system based requirements. There's literally nothing stopping them from turning off their body cameras, detaining a US citizen, and beating the shit out of them. Does she really think they're going to record themselves committing crimes and then report it to congressional Democrats?
And the issue is, it's an enforceable code of conduct, real accountability when agents break the law
Really? What mechanism for accountability is being proposed here? They didn't hold these goons accountable even in more sane times, which is why they're so emboldened now. These agents get qualified immunity and the government has sovereign immunity so not only will they not get prosecuted criminally but you can't even sue them unless they first gives you permission to do so.
Democrats will absolutely approve this ICE funding bill and they'll later parade all over TV talking about how they've "reined in ICE" with the above mentioned facetious "restrictions" and nothing will change.
You can't be a real person. I see homeless people with dogs all day long. You don't need to be wealthy to own one especially when it's a rescue that someone dumped in a park. Are you just making ridiculous claims as a way to double down and avoid looking foolish for overreacting or do you really believe what you're saying?
You think your average person can access therapy services especially in a place like Mississippi, the poorest state in the entire nation? Keep in mind this guy is apparently 66 years old with a roommate.
Why wouldn't they need help? Do you think the local government goes door to door asking residents if they have any ailments or issues and supplies them with the proper forms and education on what programs or services are available for them? Like how could you possibly come to the conclusion that this would be the case and that your comment was some sort of "gotcha?"
