Why do you type so much? Just say whatever good that happened in America is due to Biden and whatever bad is due to Trump. You would save so much time.

Every post you type is literally the same fucking thing. Inflation under Biden? That is due to Trump's pandemic. Unemployment better under Biden? That is due to Biden.

I just wonder how far you take this. If someone smiles at you, is that due to Biden? When somebody cuts you off on the road, do you say, "That damned Trump?

I know you may think I am being absurd. I am not. Are you really that crazy?

Exactly. The fools trying to defend Biden's failing policies blame Trump every time. They aren't smart enough to think for themselves so they watch or Google fake news and they feel better about themselves. There are always going to be the intelligent like you and there will always be fools trying to rebuke you with fake news.

Everything you post lacks context. Plus, you are comparing apples-to-oranges. The Orange Buffoon was a so-called president* for about 10 months. During President Biden's (and he is President, not a fake president* like the former guy. And he did win the 2020 election, not get trounced like the former guy.) first 10 months in office, fewer people died of COVID than under Hair Furor.

President Biden has presided over a bunch of Republican idiots who won't get vaccinated wear masks or protect themselves. President Biden can't be blamed for people refusing to drink the water after being lead to it. President Biden didn't encourage people to drink bleach or to shove a lightbulb up their nether regions. President Biden didn't go on TV and lie to the American people and say that the virus would disappear like magic when the weather got warm.

What is true is that there is a higher death rate per capita in counties that voted for the Mango Mussolini than in counties that voted for President Biden. That's because Republicans don't have enough IQ points to decorate a domino. But everybody already knew that..

It is no surprise that you have a stupid lawyer. Stupidity attracts stupidity.

The world is not pumping, transporting, nor selling as many barrels of oil as it did in 2019.

And it never will again, because there will never be as much demand for oil & gas ever again. Thank God, it is a crappy substance that dirties the air in most uses.

The world will pump more oil because demand is going up every day. The USA may not pump more oil than 2019 under Biden presidency because Biden is killing domestic production and begging other countries to produce oil. And they will and keep prices high as per World Oil and all experts.

World Oil:

In its monthly oil market report, the IEA raised its demand estimates by 200,000 be / the for both 2021 and 2022, to reflect clear signs that impact on economic activity and oil demand from the omicron variant remained "relatively subdued."

World oil demand was seen rising by 5.5 million be / the in 2021 and by 3. 3 million be / the in 2022, the IEA said, surpassing its pre-pandemic levels by 200,000 be / the to 99.7 million be / the.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the IEA said global demand "defied expectations" rising by 1.1 million be / the to 99 million be / the, an upward revision of 345,000 be / the compared to its previous report.

"If demand continues to grow strongly or supply disappoints, the low level of stocks and shrinking spare capacity mean that oil markets could be in for another volatile year in 2022. " the IEA said.

Trump is an astonishingly stupid man with an abysmal business record and the worst across-the-board results of any POTUS in history.

The most shocking thing about the 2020 election was that there were enough Repubs who were even more astonishingly stupid than Trump to actually put him up for re-election and vote for him at all.

Yes, we all knew Repubs were stupid. But it was even shocking to me that they were that stupid.

The 2020 election was not rigged except by the built-in Electoral College rigging that allows states with more outhouses than office buildings to have a ridiculously outsized say in putting Repub numbskulls in the White House.

You should be ashamed to admit you are so over-the-top in love with the worst so-called potus of all time, Trump, that you fantasize about how the po' widdow America-hating con man was cheated out of 4 more years of producing the crappiest crap results of all your beloved crap Repub so-called presidents.

But you are. Everything you post is "post hoc ergo propter hoc" reasoning.

There is worldwide inflation. Is President Biden responsible for that, too? Because blaming President Biden for US inflation when there is worldwide inflation at the same time is ludicrous. Except, of course, when your logic consists solely of "post hoc ergo propter hoc" reasoning.

The same holds true for gasoline prices.

The only people who don't see that are the ones that are crazy.

[ScatManDoo]

Stupidity at its finest. Small deadly vehicles weighing 500-1000 pounds that will kill millions of people. Just as was predicted electric vehicles need to be lighter and less safe to get the mileage. We have those electric vehicles now. They call them golf carts.

Stupidity is thinking that you need a 4,000 pound vehicle for you to safely drive yourself and a date out for coffee.

[MarquisdeSade1]

The definition of an idiot is someone who thinks that the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy was smart. The definition of an idiot is someone who believes that inflation is only going on in the US and nowhere else in the world. The definition of an idiot is someone whop believes that the rise in gasoline prices is somethin that is happening only in the US and nowhere else in the world. The definition of an idiot is someone who knows that the 2020 election was stolen but can't prove it. The definition of an idiot is someone who thinks that the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy was smart.

How the 2020 Election Was Rigged.

Next time someone caricatures evidence of voting irregularities as a conspiracy theory, throw the book at them—Mollie Hemingway's book.

By Bruce Oliver Newsome.

October 31,2021.

We are a year overdue for the true story of the 2020 elections. Mollie Hemingway has at last delivered it to us in one tidy volume.

It's a complex story, which makes for a weighty book. The research is thorough, the writing is evidentiary, the style is clinical—like investigative journalism and social science used to be. The endnotes alone run nearly 100 pages.

Reading Rigged, one isn't jarred by hyperbole, conjecture, or spin. Hemingway is unequivocal on progressive malice, yet she can be scathing of Republicans, too. She is particularly critical of Rudy Giuliani's attempts to publicize fraud nationally, thereby undermining prior case-by-case efforts to get particular state courts to recognize particular violations of particular state laws.

She also calls out Republican officials who preferred to help the opposition rather than reveal their own state's dysfunctions. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office, for instance, secretly recorded a telephone appeal from Trump to expose fraud in Fulton County, then misrepresented Trump to the press as asking for the statewide result to be changed.

Overall, the story reads like a tragedy. One alternates between anger and consternation that bleeding obvious facts were not reported by the mainstream media at the time.

Some evidence of election irregularities broke through mainstream censorship: the strange spikes in votes counted for Biden overnight in counties with unusually strong Democratic Party governance and histories of criminal mishandling of votes (Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Fulton County, for example).

Over subsequent days, a news consumer with time and effort could piece together strange disputes. Official election observers were denied access, or kept so far away they could not see any ballots. They sought emergency court orders, but some courts set hearing dates weeks in the future or simply denied jurisdiction. Even if observers did obtain a court order, election officials claimed not to understand it (as in Philadelphia).

In Georgia, observers were told that counting was being suspended overnight, but a surveillance camera recorded video of four persons pulling boxes of ballots from beneath a cloaked table for unobserved digital entry. Still, Georgia's officers continued to claim that voting had been suspended overnight. Surely this was a story worthy of investigative reporting? The mainstream media preferred to report all the disputes as conspiracy theories.

Witnesses came forward testifying to ballot harvesting, ballot stuffing, counts for the Democratic Party without ballots, ballots for the Republican Party that disappeared without counting. Nevertheless, the Republican Party could not get most of the media to show up to hear these witnesses, or the courts to admit them.

And so 2020 petered out, with the election still disputed but barely investigated. Most of the evidence, most of the admissions, most of the backtracking, waited until after Biden's victory was confirmed by Congress in January.

A History of Rigging.

As Hemingway shows in the book's opening pages, the theft of an election is a long time in the making, and incorporates many efforts other than ballot rigging. This is the strength of the book: she starts the narrative by detailing the flaws in early American elections that would be reinstituted in 2020.

In 1844, voting was spread over five weeks, which meant that the results of early voting surely influenced later voters. Additionally, early voters missed out on later campaigning. In 1848, all voting, by law, was scheduled to take place on the same day. And yet, 130 years later, progressive states turned legitimate absentee voting into no-cause early voting.

In 2020, progressives championed early voting and mail-in voting, knowing that Republicans preferred to vote in person on the day. To strengthen the case, progressives campaigned for all Americans to be locked down against COVID-19, contrary to the pan-Asian norm of locking down local hotspots. A general lockdown had the additional advantage of ruining the national economy, which had been booming, to Trump's credit. Further, lockdown prevented Trump from campaigning at his best (in person), and excused the stumbling, bumbling Biden from leaving his home.

Perversely, progressives both encouraged mob rule in response to the killing of George Floyd in May, and used the violence as yet another justification for mail-in voting—and for voting against Trump. As Biden tweeted on August 27, "Remember: every example of violence Donald Trump decries has happened on his watch. Under his leadership. During his presidency."

Widespread Collusion.

The progressives' champions were funded by tech oligarchs and promoted by the mainstream media. Even Republican state officials colluded. For instance, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp watered down signature-matching requirements in 2019 to appease Stacey Abrams' claims of "voter suppression" when she lost to him in 2018. Of course, appeasement just emboldens the bully. Later in 2019, the Democratic Party's chief elections litigator, Marc Elias, sued Raffensperger, who consented to allow for disputed absentee ballots to be "cured" rather than summarily discounted, and to allow Democrats to train and advise officials on signature matching.

Georgia's primary election in June 2020 was conducted by the counties. They made a mess of it—especially the strongly Democratic counties. The worst offender, Fulton County, was forced to agree to federal monitoring and various training and performance standards. Yet state reforms were perversely to their advantage. Raffensperger inexplicably directed most of the reform funds to those same Democratic counties, which promoted yet more mail-in voting.

Millions of dollars were sourced from Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, acting mainly through the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) and Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL). Both centers were founded and run by former affiliates of the Democratic Party. Some of these affiliates were given roles in the implementation of official reforms. In the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, they were actually given keys to the central counting facility and ballot machines.

Did election integrity improve given this outsourcing? No. In Green Bay, poll workers "cured" ballots with the same color pens voters had used. Subsequently, Wisconsin's legislature voted to ban private funding of election operations, only to be vetoed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers.

CEIR reported that it contacted all 50 states, of which 23 were awarded funds. What CEIR did not explicitly report was that it gave 7. 6 times more funds to Democratic states than to states that had voted for Trump in 2016. CEIR gave more than half of its money to four battleground states: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona.

Georgia received more than $31 million, or nine percent, of all "Zuck Bucks. " Yet not all of Georgia's counties received funding. Biden-voting counties received $7. 13 per registered voter, on average, compared to $1. 91 in Trump-voting counties. Counties that did not receive CEIR funding did not show significant voting shifts from 2016 to 2020, but the funded counties showed an average shift of 2. 3 percent in favor of Democrats.

The disputed runoff for Georgia's two USA Senators accounted for another $14.5 million from Zuckerberg's organizations, with similar bias in favor of Democratic counties.

The other battleground states showed the same funding bias. In the end, Zuckerberg had channeled more than $400 million into nominally non-partisan election reforms.

Changing the Rules.

For the 2020 general election, 39 states modified their election laws or procedures.

Early voting started up to two months before the statutory election day, and one month before the first televised debate between the presidential candidates. Receipts were permitted days after election day, to accommodate the anticipated postal delays. More than 100 million of the 159 million ballots counted in 2020 were posted prior to election day. In 2016, the rate had been 33 million posted out of 140 million counted. Joe Biden won the Electoral College by 43,000 more votes than Trump across just three states.

Early voters are generally less informed voters. In 2020, in-person Republican voters were suppressed by general reporting that early voting favored Biden. They were further suppressed by inaccurate polling suggesting Biden was on course for a landslide. Finally, they were suppressed by early results out of Arizona, which started counting mail-in ballots two weeks before election day. Biden won Arizona by a margin of just 0. 3 percent, and Georgia by the same margin.

Early voting makes fraud easier, of which the two easiest forms are double voting and manipulating another person's ballot. Secrecy of voting is more difficult in a household than a voting booth. Family members, community organizers, and clerics have been known to collect ballots for completion.

In some states, strangers are allowed to harvest ballots, meaning that they may collect ballots merely on the promise to deliver them correctly. But the volunteer could filter out votes for disliked candidates, or influence how the ballot is completed, particularly in the name of the elderly, homeless, infirm, or anyone confined on the grounds of COVID.

Secretly filmed footage from Minneapolis showed harvesters for Representative Ilhan Omar exchanging cash for ballots. The all-mail-in election for Paterson City Council, New Jersey in May 2020 was invalidated by court order, after 19 percent of ballots were disqualified (mostly for unmatched signatures, the rest for being packaged together). The City Council's incumbent vice president and three other men were charged with voter fraud.

Voters are alerted to the opportunities for double voting when they receive ballots at more than one address. Eleven percent of Americans move every year. States are incentivized to register more than to purge voters. In 2019, Judicial Watch forced LOS Angeles County, by civil legal action, to purge its voter rolls of at least 1. 5 million voters above the number of voting-age resident citizens. In the same year, Judicial Watch established that eight states and DC maintained more registered voters than eligible voters.

Mail-in ballots make double voting easier still, because the voter's identity is usually proven by nothing more than a signature. In New Jersey, which compares the ballot signature with the signature obtained during voter registration, 9. 6 percent of mail-in ballots were disqualified, on average, across 31 local elections in May 2020.

In November 2020, thousands of Georgians voted within a county other than the county in which they lived—mostly by absentee voting.

In some jurisdictions, the only signatures to compare are the signature on the ballot, and the signature on the application for a ballot, which itself might have been obtained by somebody other than the legitimate voter. In any case, even in states that mandate a comparison, election workers seem to have skipped the burden. Some parts of Pennsylvania counted ballots without either the signature or the date—even though both are required by law. Only 0. 4 percent of absentee ballots were rejected by Georgia in November 2020, compared to 6. 4 percent in 2016. Some Republicans tested the system by using different signatures at each stage, without getting caught, as they proved later by publishing photographs.

All of this adds up to a targeted campaign to undermine election integrity in the 2020 elections. Across several states, with the help of numerous friendly institutions, the Democratic Party was able to change the way America votes, and manipulate how those votes were counted. The vast coordination to defeat Trump by any means necessary on display in Rigged exposes the rank dishonesty of leftist objections to the Right's efforts to ensure election integrity. Next time someone caricatures evidence of voting irregularities as a conspiracy theory, throw the book at them—Mollie Hemingway's book.

Yep. Control, Operational Control and not votes. That's what it is all about for Trumpsters and Repubs.

The Trump-Repub style of "democracy" was and still is the envy of and inspiration to authoritarian dictatorships around the world. It clearly has been the inspiration for Putin to invade any budding democracy he wants and take "Control, Operational Control" of it knowing very, very well every Republican Party or non Democratic Party voter and supporter in America will give him their full permission, encouragement and support to do so.

'We control them all': Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows ideas for overturning 2020 election before it was called.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/04/08/p...ext/index.html

Washington(CNN)Two days after the 2020 presidential election, as votes were still being tallied, Donald Trump's eldest son texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that "we have operational control" to ensure his father would get a second term, with Republican majorities in the US Senate and swing state legislatures, CNN has learned.

In the text, which has not been previously reported, Donald Trump Jr. lays out ideas for keeping his father in power by subverting the Electoral College process, according to the message reviewed by CNN. The text is among records obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021.

"It's very simple," Trump Jr. texted to Meadows on November 5, adding later in the same missive: "We have multiple paths. We control them all."

Quick! Back to the desperate search through Hunter Biden's laptop to find the rest of that video of him getting a footjob from an Asian chick!

[EihTooms]

Remember the facts. Biden killed more Americans when he had 3 vaccines than died under Trump. Trump looks like a hero to America. Biden looks incompetent. You have to acknowledge the facts. Google it. Even fake news admits this.

Did Biden defund and remove all of our Pandemic Prevention and Response teams from those Chinese labs and locations in 2018 against all expert dire warnings not to do something so stupid and dangerous and thereby leave the world bare ass naked against preventing and responding quickly and intelligently to the emergence, development and spread of Trump's Pandemic in all its variations now and into the future?

Then did Biden spend almost the entirety of the critical year of 2020 lying in perfect sync with Xi about the known deadly and infectious nature of his Virus by mocking the proven mitigation measures, repeatedly telling everyone on Earth that it was under control, disappearing already, would soon be down to near zero, was a Democrat Party Hoax, will go away without a vaccine so nobody should bother inventing one or taking one?

Now, more than once already I have posted the links for Trump having done exactly those things as the so-called potus.

If you have or can find any links showing that Biden did any of those things that led directly to the mass murder of a million Americans so far and counting, the massive destruction of millions upon millions of jobs, businesses and Supply Chains in America and around the world and all of the economic devastation and hyper inflation that followed either as the POTUS or as a private citizen before he won the Presidency in a landslide, please post those links here and now.

The real problem is that people like you believe the crap you read at these off-the-wall media sites. You think it is the truth because it reinforces the crazy notions that you already have. An old boss called it "breathing your own exhaust".

There are two articles here from Forbes and from MakeUseOf. The latter uses ratings from https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news. The two articles are: https://www.forbes.com/sites/berlins...h=1dba9c06e9b5 and https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/trust-news-sites/.

Here's an excerpt from Forbes. "One key question for any publication is this: If a reporter gets facts in a story wrong, will the news outlet investigate a complaint and publish a correction? Does the publication have its own code of ethics? Or does it subscribe to and endorse the Society of Professional Journalist's code of ethics? And if a reporter or editor seriously violates ethical codes. Such as being a blatant or serial plagiarizer, fabulist or exaggerator. Will they be fired at a given news outlet? While some may criticize mainstream media outlets for a variety of sins, top outlets such as the Washington Post, the New York Times, NBC News and the New Republic have fired journalists for such ethics violations."

Interesting questions, are they not? I'd bet money that none of the sources that you or any other rightwingnut moron on this form reads can answer yes to all of these questions. The probably can't even answer yes to any of the questions. Except the Russian sources that you, yourself, often post. But if they fire a reporter it is because the reporter covered a topic the wrong was and was stood up against a wall and shot.

Forbes goes on to say: "Realizing that millions more people are scratching their heads, wondering what to read and where to spend their subscription dollars, here are my top 10 large journalistic brands where I believe you can most often find real, reported facts:

1. The New York Times.

This is the most influential newspaper in the USA In my view. Its editorial page and some of its news coverage take a left-leaning, progressive view of the world. But the NYT also hews to ethical standards of reporting and the classic elements of journalism in America. That's what helps the NYT remain, arguably, the agenda-setting news organization in America. It is a leader in business, politics and culture coverage. *.

2. The Wall Street Journal.

The largest circulation newspaper in the USA, the WSJ made its bones as a business newspaper and pioneered new types of feature writing in American journalism (for example, its quirky middle-column feature called the "Ahed" and longer form, in-depth reports called "leders" As the company was purchased by Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch in 2007, the WSJ pivoted to cover more general news in addition to business news. The WSJ is still brand X among daily business publications in the world. Its editorial page is a bastion of American free-market conservatism, using the motto, "free markets, free people. " With former Republican speechwriters and strategists such as Karl Rove, Peggy Noonan and Bill McGurn writing columns, the WSJ editorial page is often a must-read for Republicans in Washington. And left-leaning readers should not dismiss the WSJ edit page just because they may disagree with its positions. It has won several Pulitzer Prizes for editorials and columns that feature a clear thesis, backed up by thorough fact-based reporting and bold arguments.

3. The Washington Post.

The newspaper that brought down President Richard Nixon with its reporting on the Watergate scandal in the early 1970's maintains its intellectually robust tradition under the new ownership of Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. The Post has, for decades, been part of the big three national papers. A peer of the NYT and WSJ. In terms of winning Pulitzer Prizes, hiring the best and brightest reporters and producing big scoops. Of the big three, the Post is arguably the most forward-thinking right now in trying new digital strategies that have boosted readership. And with Bezos' backing, the Post is on a hiring binge for talented reporters while the NYT and WSJ have been pruning their reporting staffs in recent months. Most people think the Post editorial page leans left but is often regarded as more center left than the NYT.

4. BBC.

The BBC is the global standard bearer for excellence in broadcast radio and TV journalism. If only USA Cable news outlets could follow BBC's recipe. And while PBS produces some great entertainment, documentary and news programs, its news programs have often seemed to lack the creative energy of the BBC. While NPR produces some fantastic journalism, a bulk of its news coverage seem to come from re-reporting news from the New York Times and the Associated Press. And the American public perceives NPR to be more left-leaning than the BBC.

5. The Economist.

Another British export, the Economist magazine is staffed with excellent economists and journalists who produce a tightly-edited, factually rigorous account of what's happening in the world each week. One oddity is that the Economist doesn't publish bylines of their writers so you never know who exactly wrote a given piece.

6. The New Yorker.

This American treasure publishes sophisticated narrative non-fiction pieces from top writers and reporters each week in a print magazine and, increasingly, on other platforms. The New Yorker is smartly expanding its audience on the web, offering to the masses content that used to be open only to its print subscribers. The magazine itself runs a piece of fiction each week (identifies it as such). The long-form non-fiction reports on politics, culture, business and other topics often take months to report, write and fact check. The result is deep reporting and analysis each week that is hard to find elsewhere. And the narrative structures and techniques the writers use make for enjoyable reading. Similar to the Times, the New Yorker presents a progressive view of the world. Conservative readers should recognize that but not let it detract from them enjoying some of the best reporting and writing happening in the world.

7. Wire Services: The Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg News.

You can't exactly "subscribe" to these wire services. But you can trust reports from these organizations to be factual. They provide a backbone of news and information flows about politics and the economy. And their member organizations that surface their reports benefit from this reporting. You can follow these organizations on social media and can also follow certain reporters for these organizations who report on topics of interest to you. These wire services also do have web sites and mobile apps you can use to stay abreast the news.

8. Foreign Affairs.

This bi-monthly magazine is published by the Council on Foreign Relations. It's a serious magazine for people who want intelligence on global affairs. The magazine and its many digital platforms benefits from submissions, dialogue, differing views and analysis from the many top minds on international relations.

9. The Atlantic.

This is another national treasure, a monthly magazine that presents a view of the nation and world from Washington the. See. It is informed by many top journalists who write long-form features and also write some analysis. The Atlantic web site sometimes hews to clickable headlines. But the magazine and its parent company also subscribe to American journalism principles of fact-based reporting.

10. Politico.

Founded by reporters who left the Washington Post in 2006, Politico has built itself into a crucial player in politics reporting in the USA (and with expansions to Europe). It does publish some products in print, but Politico is easily accessible on the Internet and mobile devices. Keep an eye on Axios, a news startup launched this year by two founders of Politico.

* Disclosures: Earlier in my career, I interned at the Associated Press and the Washington Post. I worked as a staff writer at the Wall Street Journal between 2001-2011. I have also published free-lance articles in the Post, the New York Times and the New Yorker (website) as well as some of the publications listed in the runner up lists.

Runners Up:

- National Public Radio.

- TIME magazine.

-The Christian Science Monitor.

- The LOS Angeles Times (and many other regional, metropolitan daily newspapers).

- USA Today.

- CNN.

- NBC News.

- CBS News.

- ABC News.

Business News Sources:

- FORBES magazine.

- Bloomberg BusinessWeek magazine.

- The Financial Times newspaper.

Sources of reporting and opinion from the right of the political spectrum:

- National Review.

- The Weekly Standard.

Sources of reporting and opinion from the left of the political spectrum:

- The New Republic.

- The Nation".

What is interesting about this list is that you, Elvis, Canada, Axe Hole and the rest of the lunatic fringe will call all of these sources "fake news". Just watch the responses that they post in response to this post.

See, that's where the problem lies. When 75% of the population says that the sources above are, by and large, fair sources and 25% of the population says "they're all fake news", who is right? It reminds me of the very old WWI song called "They Were All Out of Step But Jim". The song depicts a mother and father of a soldier gloating to their friends after seeing their son marching. They declare their joy in the chorus, oblivious to the humor of the song's title:

"Did you see my little Jimmy marching with the soldiers up the avenue?

There was Jimmy just as stiff as starch like his Daddy on the seventeenth of March.

Did you notice all the lovely ladies casting their eyes on him?

Away he went to live in a tent over in France with his regiment.

Were you there, and tell me, did you notice?

They were all out of step but Jim."

In case you don't know, the rightwingnuts are the Mother and Father in the song.

Empire of Lies.

Electric cars are not going to replace 100% of internal combustion engine vehicle production.

But greater than 50% will happen and it will likely happen in less than 10 years, not 30 years.

This year a large number of major automakers are introducing electric versions of platforms they already build ICE cars on.

There's an electric Mustang from Ford.

An electric Hummer from General Motors.

An all electric Porsche, and many other German makes with new electric models.

According to Google, there was around 60,000 new electric vehicles sold in the United States in February 2022, representing a little under 6% of all US auto sales. My estimate is that an even larger number of new electric bikes will also sell in the United States in February 2022, and probably a significant number of new electric motorcycles too..

Stupidity at its finest. Small deadly vehicles weighing 500-1000 pounds that will kill millions of people. Just as was predicted electric vehicles need to be lighter and less safe to get the mileage. We have those electric vehicles now. They call them golf carts.

You can read the article and watch the full report but if you go to the video and want to watch Joe Biden as you never want to see him at the 3:12 mark. What do you do when your own eyes see such a pathetic sight?

Well, if you are a Democrat, you fact check it, https://www.reuters.com/article/fact...-idUSL2N2W51U1.

The article links to another video on youtube and it is not quite as damning but it is not that much better.

Still the comments are not good. "he stumbled upon someone that was going up to try and see BO. Nobody is seeking out Joe. Why the backflips by Reuters to try and convince otherwise?

And my favorite, "This is supposed to be fact check that he wasn't ignored and lost? Swing and a miss, Reuters."

The irony is that Tucker Carlson did not show this clip just to demonstrate that Biden was lost and demented. It was to show that the Democrats have abandoned him, and there were many more clips that supported his POV. Anyone who looks at that clip and thinks Biden is truly popular among Democrats can see that it is not so.

Everything you post lacks context. Plus, you are comparing apples-to-oranges. The Orange Buffoon was a so-called president* for about 10 months. During President Biden's (and he is President, not a fake president* like the former guy. And he did win the 2020 election, not get trounced like the former guy.) first 10 months in office, fewer people died of COVID than under Hair Furor.

President Biden has presided over a bunch of Republican idiots who won't get vaccinated wear masks or protect themselves. President Biden can't be blamed for people refusing to drink the water after being lead to it. President Biden didn't encourage people to drink bleach or to shove a lightbulb up their nether regions. President Biden didn't go on TV and lie to the American people and say that the virus would disappear like magic when the weather got warm.

What is true is that there is a higher death rate per capita in counties that voted for the Mango Mussolini than in counties that voted for President Biden. That's because Republicans don't have enough IQ points to decorate a domino. But everybody already knew that.

What all news sources everywhere admit is that Republicans are idiots. The only sources that say that Republicans are smart are the "fake newZ" sites. Oh, and the Russian sites that love Tucker "My lawyer admitted that nobody in their right mind should believe anything I say" Carlson.

Why do you type so much? Just say whatever good that happened in America is due to Biden and whatever bad is due to Trump. You would save so much time.

Every post you type is literally the same fucking thing. Inflation under Biden? That is due to Trump's pandemic. Unemployment better under Biden? That is due to Biden.

I just wonder how far you take this. If someone smiles at you, is that due to Biden? When somebody cuts you off on the road, do you say, "That damned Trump?

I know you may think I am being absurd. I am not. Are you really that crazy?
