American Politics

Those right wingers who are the most adamant and self-righteous are also the ones most likely to be hiding something in the closet:

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2990759]What are you talking about? I never said anything about how CA would vote in the next Presidential election. My post was about Democrats, specifically Newsom, running or attempting to run in the 2028 Democratic Presidential primaries and the difficulty moderates / realists will have taking back their party from the insane Wokies. The Wokes are still calling the tune. It looks like it is going to take several election cycles before the Party gets the message. And personally, I hope they never get the message.[/QUOTE]But you omitted the "devastating news" for REPUBS that the NBC poll that you and your Repub Party's Mainstream Media benefactors love to selectively quote show Dems with an advantage over Repubs on the Generic Ballot Control of Congress question [I]even while[/I] those same poll respondents are giving Dems their lowest Favorability Ratings.

So according to your unlinked source, Newsom's Favorability rating even after engaging with one of the Repub Party's favorite America-hating Racist MAGALoons, Charlie Kirk, fell to [B]47%[/B] with his constituents.

I did not find a current National Favorability Rating for Gavin Newsom, which is no surprise considering no one governor is top of mind or even well known enough to register much of a National Poll response. But there are certainly plenty of National Favorability Ratings for Trump and JD Vance from their constituents:

[URL]https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/political-leaders[/URL]

Trump = [B]46.5%[/B] Favorable.

JD Vance, a hypothetical 2028 Newsom nominee's most likely Repub opponent = [B]41.7%[/B] Favorable.

Oh, and this is also after the California Climate Change fires and during what I presume you would characterize as a "winning" streak for Trump and Vance as they and President Musk chainsaw away thousands of Federal jobs not even remotely associated with a shred of evidence for Waste, Fraud and Abuse.

Now, on JOB Approval Ratings we also have some numbers for Newsom and Trump from their constituents, in addition to Trump's RCP Consensus Job Approval of 47.9% as seen in the link above:

I won't cite each and every poll mentioned in that report. But reading the link it is Real Clear to me I would much rather have Gavin Newsom's Job Approval Ratings from his constituents than Donald Trump's Job Approval Ratings from his constituents.

If you can find any current JOB Approval Ratings for JD Vance from his constituents to compare to anyone, please let me know.

[QUOTE=Spidy;2990797]Not so fast...the EV trend in Europe, is still positively up!

In both the months of January and February, 2025, saw EVs take a significant share of the European passenger plugin vehicle market. EVs scored 244,000 registrations in January, and in Europe's biggest market take a 27.3% share in Germany, up from 19.3% share year on year (YoY).

Should be very interesting to see, if the big European car manufacturers, will be still profitable, going against consumer trends in some of the worlds biggest car markets, fighting labor disputes and dealing with the influx of Chinese EVs. Not too mention stupidly, paying Tesla, a few billion dollars, to avoid even bigger EU emissions fines [i][b](...kkkk!)[/b][/i]

Will producing more ICE vehicles work, as more countries ban new ICE sales? Or will it be more losses from Mercedes, to the tune of $10.8 billion (2024) and Porsche SE's $21.7 billion (2024)?

Factoring in only the Players on the Field, the Voters Who Showed Up To Vote, and disregarding the millions of 2020 Biden voters who were so satisfied with their personal financial and job situation after Biden's historic recovery from Trump's Pandemic Part 1 and had been bamboozled by lying, pro Repub "Bothsiders" into mistakenly concluding that "presidents don't have much control over the economy and jobs creation" and therfore did not bother to vote for the Dem again this time, those less than 115,000 Muslims across the only three swing states that mattered, roughly 0. 75 of a single percentage point of voters in those three states that were the sole reason for Trump's razor-thin election win, must feel like even bigger suckers today after what they brought to America than they felt immediately after they "gave Trump the presidency" on November 5th.

Oh well.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2990602]
............
And now to change the subject a wee little bit, we have the Autopen and which Executive Orders Biden actually signed as "President"? The answer is we don't know. The next question then becomes, of the EO's that he actually did sign, how many of those did Biden fully understand what he was signing. I love this headline: "Trump Raising Question: Was Autopen Used to Pardon J6 members Without Biden's 'Consent or Knowledge?" Man, does Trump have the amazing ability to drive the Wokes bat shit crazy. HAHAHAH![/QUOTE]So was the joke supposed to be that Trump lied for the 35,000 plus plus plus time and, boy does that delight the MAGAs and annoy normal Americans or that he has admitted he's really just a big sarcastic kidder who can't be taken seriously about anything, such as, that he would stop Putin's War in Ukraine in 24 hours, would stop The War in Gaza in 24 hours, would bring down the price of groceries, damn I'm glad he invented that word, on Day One and so on? Or something else?

Well, either way, since you declined to include any link or substantiation for anything you asserted in that post I decided to flesh out a few more pertinent details about that obscure "joke" Trump apparently was trying to tell:

[B]Trump claims Biden's pardons for Jan. 6 committee are 'void' because he used an autopen.
Trump has argued that the committee members are guilty of unspecified major crimes.

[QUOTE]Trump went on to allege that Biden didnt know about the pardons or approve them and that therefore all the committee members would be subject to investigation at the highest level.

However, the U.S. Constitution makes it clear that the president has unique executive powers to issue pardons and makes no provision for subsequent presidents to rescind them for issues relating to the choice of pen or anything else.[/QUOTE][B]Fact-checking Trumps claim that Biden pardons are void because he used an autopen.

[URL]https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-trumps-claim-that-biden-pardons-are-void-because-he-used-an-autopen[/URL]

[QUOTE]"Everything was signed by autopen almost everything, Trump said March 13. Nobody has ever heard of such a thing.

Biden is not the first U.S. president to use an autopen. Presidents Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy and Thomas Jefferson used autopens or mechanized signing devices.

We found universal agreement among legal scholars that the Constitution doesnt require a pardons direct human signing, and subsequent judicial decisions and legal memoranda support an autopens use for similar purposes. Legal scholars also agreed that there is no constitutional mechanism to overturn pardons once granted.[/QUOTE]Of course, if the lame joke was supposed to have something to do with Trump's claim that Biden didn't know who he was pardoning, that naturally begs the question, "Could cogitively incompetent Donald Trump identify by name more than 3 of the 1500 cop-attacking, maiming and killing insurrectionists in his War Against America on American Soil that he Pardoned"?

Oh that was nasty!

Elvis2008, read it and weep![/QUOTE]But Trump is just a stupid new Neron and a liar, robber. Sad shameful USA, not at all MAGA. I wish he will make fall USA economics, to make understand no brained.

When most EVs, or hybrid Toyota are just ugly, for me, this is like paying for a ugly girl who is limited for sex, when I only want to pay for high beauties with fresh GFE, like for my 2008 V8 4. 2 32 S5 with white leather I like to sleep inside. Each one own eyes and brain, when I m not a good follower sheep.

Senile stupid Neron Trump who wants to tax everybody, but now begging Europe for eggs. He really loves dictators and criminals, buying to Erdogan. Tur, after supporting criminal Netanyahou and Putin.

I don't know why I have to do your homework Xpartan. But here are a few recent polls on the 80/20 issues I spoke of in my posts for your enlightenment. I noticed that in your post to me you are trying to obfuscate and change the subject to more contentious issues. How do You stand on the issues below #1), #2), #3) AND #4). I would appreciate a direct, non-evasive answer if possible.

1 a) Harvard CAPS / Harris poll March 3: 76% of Americans favor DOGE's efforts to reduce government waste.

1 b) Harvard Poll Feb 2025:70% of respondents believe government spending is rife with waste and fraud, 69% support cutting spending by $1 trillion, and 60% of voters support DOGE's efforts to make significant cuts.

2 a) Axios / Ipsos poll January 19,2025 66% support deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally. Republicans (93%) are more likely to show support than Democrats (43%) and independents (67% Few Americans (11%) support deporting immigrants who are in the country legally.

2 b) It is too early to see a poll on recent Tren de Aragua gang deportation, but I bet you it is higher than 75% favorable. Only a Woke moron would be against this one.

3) New York Times / Ipsos poll: 79% of Americans do not want transgender-identifying men competing in women's sports.

4) ICC Poll 1000 USA Adults surveyed: 81% support Israel's right to defend itself and, 82% believe a final ceasefire deal should require Hamas' removal from power in Gaza.

[QUOTE=Xpartan;2990805]- Or if you pulled them out of the same place most right-wingers get their news from -- but even if they are, I'm curious: do your 80% of American people support Trump violating courts orders to achieve the results they favor?

Can the government break the law and do whatever they feel like as long as the majority of the population might be supportive of some of their objectives?

Question is...as the countries that legacy auto can sell those V8/12's to (including their own), ban those new ICE vehicles (in 2030), sales will start to rapidly shrink. So who the hell is gonna buy those overpriced, over rated and over-the-top fossil fuel dinosaurs?

[u]Tesla German Survey Correction: [/u]

Hold the presses...according to the very same survey, now that nearly 444K people have taken the survey (up from 100K), 70% of Germans would BUY A TESLA. [i][b]I guess Musk, must have paid off enough AfD fascists to change the results. [/b][/i]So it looks like Germans don't care, they are still gonna buy his EVs. [URL] https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-germany-t-online-poll-debunks-94-percent-wont-buy-tesla-narrative/[/URL]

Well so much for "surveys", as Feb 2025 sale numbers don't reflect the current sentiment of said survey. Tesla sales in Germany for the month of Feb 2025, have dropped 76% (YoY).

[b]PS: [/b]Coincidentally, [u]FRANCE sold the 2nd most Teslas in Europe,[/u] in Jan and Feb of 2025, with 1,141 and 2,395 respectively! It looks like your fellow Frenchmen, didn't get your memo on NOT BUYING Teslas [i][b](...kkkk!)[/b][/i]
