@Rainmaker1973 If this actually works without the car blowing up, I’m in. I’m sure that if this actually worked Tesla and other electric car manufacturers would’ve already come up with it.

Bad take.
EVERYONE forgets that ACB was a highly controversial pick at the time because it was to replace RBG, there were only weeks left before the election, and the Dems were demanding that no pick be made until after the voters had their chance to speak.
To get ANY nominee approved McConnell needed the votes of some of the squish GOP Senators.
Susan Collins was up for reelection and polls had her trailing. She was given a pass to vote against ACB.
The final vote was 52-48.
RBG died Sept. 18. ACB was nominated Sept. 26 -- 8 days later.
The nominee HAD to be someone who would get 50 votes -- +VP.
You would not have gotten a MAGA friendly fire-breathing conservative thru. Because she was a long-time law professor with only a short tenure as an Appellate Court judge, she didn't have long history of opinions to deal with.
Collins and Murkowski were both on the record saying the Senate should wait until after the election. McConnell may have only gotten her vote because of the nominee. Mitt Romney was also a squish on what to do.
62% of voters said two days after RBG's death that selecting a replacement should wait until after the election -- so nominating anyone was a likely political negative only 6 weeks before the election where Trump was already behind in the polls.
You can't look at ACB's nomination and confirmation in a vacuum, or judge it only based on what she has done on the Court.
At the time, it is quite likely she was the best alternative if the goal was getting 50 votes.

@EricLDaugh Please, no Federalist Society. After the ACB disaster class, Trump needs to get independent, trustworthy consultants.

@HumbleFlow @Will_Tanner_1 I have one question: why are you still Roman Catholic? The church has been lurching left for years. ☦️☦️☦️☦️
English

@Will_Tanner_1 Why is he praying in a mosque
Why is he calling for a Muslim/Christian alliance
Why is he honoring Muslims who murdered Catholics
I have so many questions
English

Why is he honoring Muslim communists who murdered Catholic civilians?

Pope Leo XIV places a wreath of flowers and prays for the Algerians who died in the Algerian War of Independence against French Colonial rule at the Maqam Echahid Martyrs’ Monument in Algiers.

@mamboitaliano__ No one is interested in what all hat no cattle Meloni has to say. The “Supreme Pontiff” is a man with an opinion and another man called him out on his opinion.

@VividProwess Is this goober American born. If not, he needs to be booted.

@SooperMexican Trump just opened his big mouth. The jackass pope can’t be destroyed.

@Tonyfreitas99 @827js People change. Trump was a DemoCrap. Did you vote for him? Don’t care about his grandpa, if this is even true.
Never Vance (the do nothing).

It's been a little over 4 years since the amazing @DrSarahHallberg succumbed to cancer and she is still helping people.
Her Ted Talk on YouTube has over 11 million views and is perfect for anyone who is trying to understand why following standard advice gets them nowhere in their fight against type 2 diabetes. She put it all in perspective for me.
Sarah contracted terminal lung cancer despite never having smoked. Doctors gave her months to live but she survived for almost 5 years with the illness and she continued working until near the end of her life. She was that kind of person.

@mamboitaliano__ Pope Leo is a commie who has high walls at the Vatican, but wants the US to have open borders. Dolt!

@EricLDaugh Democrats are gonna complain that Trump is spending too much money because he’s paying the DoorDash excess fees.
English

@CynicalPublius That was my first thought as well. It’s about moving any MAGA Catholics over to the DemoCrap party.

Mind you, Barack Obama already got them to do it.

JUST IN: Iran has reportedly refused to commit to ending their nuclear program.

This is insane.
A New York City police officer conducted a drug bust on a known criminal.
The criminal tried to flee the scene on a scooter, so the officer deployed a non-lethal weapon (threw a cooler at him) in an honest attempt to stop the suspect.
The suspect died, which is unfortunate, but now the officer has been sentenced to 3-9 years in prison.
That alone would be ridiculous. The judge took it a step further and explicitly said the aggressive sentence was meant to be a deterrent to other police officers.
For what? For stopping criminals from committing crimes?
The hardworking men and women of the NYPD deserve better than this. They risk their lives every day to protect innocent citizens from drugs and violent criminals.
Activist judges who abuse their position of power over politics should be removed from office as well.

@Kip_JD @Pro__Trading Remarkably, I didn’t see any Democraps defending Tara Reid when she made her accusation against Biden.

@Pro__Trading Remarkably, it never occurs to you people that Democrats don't think rape is good while Republicans are pro-rape. Everything is always a conspiracy for you guys.

How ruthlessly effective is the Democrat machine?
Eric Swalwell is asked to drop out of the race because a Republicans may actually win.
He refuses.
Party operatives tap into their pool of white liberal feminists and just like that, he's hit with not one...not two, but FOUR sexual assault accusations.
Of course, none of the victims can remember any details, just that it happened. The exact Blasey-Ford and E. Jean Carrol playbook.
Within an hour, the victim is being interviewed on @CNN.
The email goes out.
Almost immediately, the teacher's union is condemning him and Schumer, Pelosi, Jeffries and every other Democrat on Twitter is calling for him to drop out of the race.
Keep in mind, when Tara Reade accused Biden of forcibly sexually abusing her, they called her a liar and nobody called for him to drop out.
This is all a coordinated attack because they've seen the internal polling that Steve Hilton may actually win this thing and they are sacrificing Swalwell because liberal idiots like him are a dime a dozen.
