  • China to ban hidden car door handles made popular by Tesla in world first

    Jump

  • The plug they came up with, that eventually became the NAC standard. Technology Connections did a video about it, and he is no Tesla fan, I assure you of that.

  • Trump goes public with plan to "take over" elections

    Jump

  • No. That's exactly what they want. They want us to give them a reason to escalate. If they escalate anyway, then they expose themselves as the violent fascists that they are. That's important. Public perception does matter.

  • This is why Tesla has been a mixed bag. They have made some smart choices and they have made some not so smart choices. Unfortunately, because they essentially are the EV market in America, all other companies looking to bring EVs to the market have copied Tesla in many ways, both the good and the bad. I think that's at least part of the reason why the EV market is suffering right now.

  • A unified and state armed multi state coalition.

    That's what they want. The fascists want us to give them a reason to escalate, because escalation will ensure that people stay away from the polls. We need to be organized, we need to be unified and we need to form a real resistance, but we also need to be smart, and that means NOT giving the fascists exactly what they're hoping for.

    ICE will not leave because we brought signs.

    Signs don't threaten them, that's true, and that's exactly the point. They want us to threaten them, because then they can escalate. We need to be smart. That doesn't mean we need to be ineffectual or passive, it means we need to be very careful about how we proceed.

  • They won't need to do anything but put ICE outside the polls

    Then we show up and put ourselves between the polls and ICE.

  • Trump goes public with plan to "take over" elections

    Jump

  • President Trump called on Republicans “to take over the voting in at least 15 places” in advance of the next election

    Yeah, that can't happen. We're going to have to stop them. Volunteer to be a poll worker, especially if you happen to live in any of these "15 places." This article doesn't say specifically which places these are, but I think it's safe to assume they are important swing districts.

  • Senate tells Mayes to resign; Hobbs calls AG's comments 'inappropriate'

    Jump

  • I don't know who you are and I don't care. Your opinion of me means absolutely nothing to me. Think whatever the hell you want about me, I don't care.

  • As US influence wanes, the Chinese trade surplus strangles manufacturing across the globe

    Jump

  • It's almost like capitalism is failing.

    Yeah, and it's taking forever. It's like watching an ultra show motion train wreck. It's maddening.

  • As US influence wanes, the Chinese trade surplus strangles manufacturing across the globe

    Jump

  • Then if the US is serious about preventing the supposedly "artificially cheap" Chinese imports from coming in they need to crack down on those importers circumventing the tariffs. If we can't or won't, I don't see another option other than to just accept cheap Chinese imports. And that goes for any economy angry about China's supposed unwillingness to "play fair."

    I assume that what articles like these are advocating for is that importing countries come together and somehow bully China into raising their prices. But whether it's that or tariffs with better enforcement, the result is the same: no more cheap Chinese goods, meaning higher prices for customers who have gotten used to the lower priced imports from China.

  • As US influence wanes, the Chinese trade surplus strangles manufacturing across the globe

    Jump

  • Ok, well, if tariffs on Chinese imports won't work because China will just find ways to circumvent them, then you just have to accept "artificially" cheap Chinese goods being imported into your country, unless you can convince consumers to stop buying them. That likely won't work either, but I don't see any other option. You can ask China to raise their prices but I imagine that's already been tried and likely also failed.

  • As US influence wanes, the Chinese trade surplus strangles manufacturing across the globe

    Jump

  • China’s overbearing exports are changing minds about the benefits of open trade well beyond the United States.

    If China is so "overbearing," don't trade with them. Don't buy their products. Follow the US's lead and tariff the hell out of Chinese imports. You don't have to import Chinese products. You can choose to not buy Chinese stuff. No one is forcing you to buy Chinese products.

  • Musk Busted Pleading to Visit Pedo Island in Epstein Files for ‘Wildest Party’

    Jump

  • Society suffers because some South African rich kid can't handle the fact that he's a humongous dork. It's absolutely wild.

  • Senate tells Mayes to resign; Hobbs calls AG's comments 'inappropriate'

    Jump

  • You don't know a god damn thing about me or what I'm willing to do to defy what I consider to be immoral and unjust actions by my government. And if you think you can determine by the "tone" of a few of my sentences, ANY fucking thing about who I am, my strength or constitution as a person, then you're an impudent, presumptuous little prick.

  • Senate tells Mayes to resign; Hobbs calls AG's comments 'inappropriate'

    Jump

  • In most cases, that's a necessary but not sufficient condition to legally shoot someone.

    If ICE is breaking down my door, the legality of using lethal force against them is irrelevant. They don't concern themselves with the law or constitutional protections, so there's no reason for me to. It's not like I can expect access to legal counsel or judicial process if I'm arrested by them. So if it comes to a direct confrontation with ICE, my life and liberty are essentially null and void anyway, and I will therefore respond accordingly. Better to die in a shootout with them than get taken to some black site, outside of any legal jurisdiction, to endure god knows what.

  • ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants

    Jump

  • Yeah, fuck that. Some fucking gestapo pig tries to arrest me without a warrant, there's gonna a problem. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any delusions. If there's a fight, I'm gonna lose. I know that. But I'm going to use every last breath in my body to make them regret it as much as possible. I'll fuck up an eye, puncture a testicle, whatever I can to make sure the rest of their lives will be at least a little shittier as a result of our encounter.

    Why do we keep using the Russian captured internet?

    Jump

  • The only people who care about this steaming pile of shit enough to rate it on RT are Trump cultists, so of course the viewer ratings are going to reflect that.

  • Senate tells Mayes to resign; Hobbs calls AG's comments 'inappropriate'

    Jump

  • In several interviews last week, Mayes said she was concerned an Arizonan could open fire on federal immigration agents if they forcibly enter a home without a judge-signed warrant.

    Has this country gone completely insane? If anyone, law enforcement or otherwise, illegally, forcibly enters your home, that person should expect that they may be shot. There's nothing controversial about that. That is the reality of the situation. Anyone telling Mayes to resign needs to call me personally so I can tell them, in no uncertain terms, to kiss my whole ass.

  • Musk to Epstein: ‘What Day/Night Will Be the Wildest Party on Your Island?’

    Jump

  • One day we're going to look back as a country and wonder how the hell we allowed this dingus to run roughshod over our entire society for the better part of two decades. At least I hope.

  • American exceptionalism

    Jump

  • "American exceptionalism" has always been a euphemistic propaganda term that really meant American supremacism. It has been the justification, used by both of the two major parties in the US, for continued US global hegemony.

    Supremacism of any kind is a flawed and dangerous concept. The fact is, we are neither exceptional nor superior.
