That being said, I can’t stand the inanity of ‘show me evidence’ pot addled yammering. People who commit crimes do their best to not leave evidence! The fact that there has not been universally accepted evidence of such does NOT MEAN the election wasn’t stolen.

Terrible argument as it leaves everyone in same lunatic pot with Jan 6ixers, Sidney Powell, Julianni, MyPillow guy, all the fake electors, and the people breaking in to open voting machines. People already convicted for some crimes related to lying.

And it leaves you with trying to practically prove anything by saying, “no one has proven Santa Claus doesn’t exist”. Fine for some esoteric point about what is absolutely certain but a terrible way to run a country.

And it also leaves the other side open to using the same arguments that you don’t favor. Because why shouldn’t they be able to use the same tactics?

Don’t be a dildo like these other people.

The state of NY found enough evidence to convince a jury in a fair trial to convict Trump of over thirty felony counts but hey, what do you know, fhis fact falls upon your deaf ears.

That wasn't for election fraud was it? I thought that was more tax evasion and business impropriety.

As far as which party wants to control more…. There is no comparison….
But wait. ABORTION ABORTION ABORTION!!!

This election proved it again. The party that makes abortion an issue will lose. The only thing Kamala said she was for was abortion. Over and over. As if people who favor abortion were not going to vote for her anyways. She even said Trump put up some kind of abortion ban, not sure but I did not hear him mention abortion once.

For people who abortion is a top issue you are not going to change their vote. The majority seems to not really care much. While it is not a top issue for me, it is a huge turn-off to hear a candidate promise more abortions.

Roe v. Wade was overturned and the world did not end.

No, but the world got worse for it.

How?

A high abortion rate is a sign of a society in collapse.

Only the world that exists in the minds of Libby wokeys, the rest of the world just doesn't care because most people, believe it or not, lead responsible lives where abortion does not come up every other week.

an apt metaphor for the coming year

Las Vegas Police Thank Elon Musk for Assistance in Investigating Tesla Cybertruck Explosion

'Elon Musk, in an X post on the day of the incident, echoed the sheriff’s remarks, stating, “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.” He further emphasized that not even the glass doors of the hotel lobby were broken due to the Cybertruck’s strength.

The LVMPD released video footage of the exploded Cybertruck, which showed the vehicle’s cargo bed severely damaged by the blast. However, the hull of the Cybertruck appeared to be largely intact. Sheriff McMahill credited the limited damage inside the valet area to the Cybertruck’s robust construction, stating, “The fact that this was a Cybertruck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out.”

Too bad Tesla doesn't do advertising, this would be a major selling point for a Cybertruck. Built like a tank, it can survive almost anything. Word of mouth is going to get out anyway and this is going to give a huge boost to sales.

Have no idea why you think that is a selling point.

There's one scenario where EVs could be good, until renewable energy capacity reaches much higher levels (about 50-100 years from now).

If I own a paid-off parcel of land and install some paid-off automated dual-axis solar panels enough to store the power for the EVs for a lengthy period of time.

Otherwise, drill baby drill.
