Seen this about Schiff getting punked by
the Russkies and falling for it hook line
and sinker? He's totally willing to collude
with them to get Trump. Everyday it's
another nail in the Dem coffin.. lol

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Indeed they are. Autoline has recently been saying that 2018 may be make or break. If he does not soon make a profit, the serious players will quit shoveling money into it. TSLA's cash burn is something like $8,000 per minute, think on that one. I've said on here for years not that Musk is selling stock, not cars. The Model 3 is showing they do not have even the basics down.

I see shades of what we saw in the dotcom bust. Company burning cash with no end in sight so do flashy things to distract everyone.


I do think they will eventually sell the car company. I believe the car company was only started to force a revolution in electric vehicles. Tesla will keep the battery business and end up making a fortune selling batteries and technology to all of the other car manufacturers.

I seem to recall Howard Hughes had some times where his people were telling him he was losing ridiculous amounts of money on a boondoggle.

Perhaps these eccentrics survive somewhat by luck.. I don't know that Musk is a fraud, he may just be off kilter.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Consumer Reports has found that millions of smart TVs can be controlled by hackers exploiting easy-to-find security flaws.
The problems affect Samsung televisions, along with models made by TCL and other brands that use the Roku TV smart-TV platform, as well as streaming devices such as the Roku Ultra.

We found that a relatively unsophisticated hacker could change channels, play offensive content, or crank up the volume, which might be deeply unsettling to someone who didn’t understand what was happening. This could be done over the web, from thousands of miles away. (These vulnerabilities would not allow a hacker to spy on the user or steal information.)

Story #1 yet another resignation due to allegations of abuse

Story #2 the staff of the administration tries to strictly control the information shown to the president.

It's pretty sad when the chief of staff's main job is one of containment.

Just damage control of Trump is job enough, much less anybody else's problems in the White House.

Pence is an a-hole

They have been training all their lives for this
Last they need is to get into a political discussion with a VP that hates gays
