Received an indeed job request to apply and found this: hypocrisy at its finest! They say anything with no ethics or integrity for whatever reason that may serve them. What do you think is the motive behind this hypocrisy?

Timothy Snyder warns about tyrants' tendency to suck the meaning out of words by repeatedly replacing with its opposite. The ominous conversion of protesters into "domestic terrorists" perfectly illustrates such retconning: THEY are trying to terrify us into compliance.

THEY are the "domestic terrorists."

Trump can't drive, so IF he bought one he's going to use is as a prop. FFS, what a pathetic piece of shit.

Musk’s son is walking all around the White House and who knows what is in his pockets or sewn into his clothing. He may be recording or transferring information for Musk just by getting close to people. The poor little kid is being used as a prop. Musk should be investigated by whichever Family Service is in the area for child abuse.

I am shocked that you would imply that his child is just a “prop”. A child is never just a prop!

In this case the child is,much more importantly, also serving as a human shield, lest there are any enterprising Luigi’s out there.

Almost half of Tesla's revenes come from selling carbon credits. Without them the company isn't profitable.

Let that sink in.

Suddenly, my ex-Virginia State Police admin car doesn't seem like such a bad buy after all.

I am in danger of missing a lot of Trump news simply because I cannot stand to hear his piggy voice anymore. I start to watch the latest grand-guignol from his oracular anus, and I have to switch channels.

Discount Donnie's Auto Sales Emporium has really bad reviews on Google.

It's got to be driving your average MAGAt nuts to be told by dear leader to buy any EV. It might ease their pain if a coal-burner option was available: no utility, just lots of black smoke to own the libs.

When I was a kid in Detroit in the 60's, we had a little riddle that I think is applicable:

Q: How do you drive a moron crazy?

A: Put him in a round room and tell him to pee in the corner.

Easy peasy- just fill the trunk with coal, set it on fire, and leave the trunklid open!

All they need to do is get Peter Doucey to take a bath. The man is fully capable of drowning in 4 inches of water.

Also, until Trump shows us the title he never, never, never bought that car.

I couldn’t stomach watching the Elon-Rump video so I didn’t. But I loved the Tim Miller clip of the Wankpanzer getting pelted by Mardi Gras beads. Especially the obviously wasted girl saying “You’re throwing away your beads? I love New Orleans!”

Best part of that is at the beginning when X started to squirm around and finally grabbed the front of his pants. I'm guessing that he was trying really hard not to pee his pants. Of course, Muskrat was oblivious. Maybe when you have that much money and the main source of it is already going down the drain, it makes sense not to worry about additional effluvia going down the drain too.

I think the plan around Musk's towing his kid around is that they are trying to provoke a critic into saying something bad about the kid so they can whine about that.

I know that is paranoid thinking, but that's the kind of thing we have to be doing these days.

We need a new definition of paranoia these days, skinner. One definition is "extremely fearful". There is one hell of a lot to be fearful of these days. What is that statement? "It's not paranoia when something IS coming after you"?

I originally read that as "used-car-salesman-in-thief" ... and then decided I was right.

I know this is the longest shot in hell, but does anyone here happen to remember an article in either Harper's or The Atlantic from 2003 (I know, I know) about the history of the US education system? I haven't subscribed to either for a while, so I can't search their archives, but I was hoping someone here might remember it. It was definitely published in 2003, in one of the spring or summer issues. IIRC, it was probably Harper's. Unbelievably, it's even more relevant now than it was in Bush, Jr.'s no-child-left-behind America.

Did you try the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine?

No, I haven't. It never occurs to me to check either. Thank you for reminding me.

So, he’s “not allowed to drive” one? No problem! It’s self-driving! Go ahead. What could go wrong?
