also the idea of an electric pickup, knowing how much gasoline pickups already weigh, and adding in the weight of the batteries, makes me wonder how the heck that's gonna work

It's not the joke people are objecting to. It's the genocide part.

You've misread it. If the district were shrunk down to just the White Houst and Capitol Building, the idea is the president and his family would be the only residents. The solution is to automatically assign the district's electoral votes to the national popular vote winner.

Isn't that double bad for the Republicans? Like, Dems usually win the popular vote, so they get those electors, plus the ones from the new DC State. I thought the holdout Dems were afraid of appearing to overreach?

weird, because some of the posters in this thread are posting solely about the content of the joke rather than the genocide, which almost reads like it's the joke they care about more

Nobody's "worked up". It's a lovely thing the president did and said, and people are responding to it. Not sure what your idea of what people are supposed to say about it is. This is a perfect example of a thing that, had Trump done/said the identical thing, most dems would be apoplectic, but instead want to downplay the monstrosity on display, or act like having a reaction to it is somehow wrong or silly, because it's your guy.

Apparently Chevrolet made the first electric pickup in the 90's. Only lasted a year, but that's the first.

Of course Tesla's Cybertruck was announced before this F-150, but it's slated to be released around the same time.

First one going into mass production, sure. Chevy built an electric S10 a while back but only sold 60ish of them and the discontinued it a year later

There's a startup EV car company called Rivian who is focusing on pickups, they look pretty slick.

Question in that first tweet may have asked about the driving bit because, as far as I know, presidents and vice presidents (even out of office) aren’t allowed to drive themselves on public roads and such.

Daily Heil, I know, but apparently this followed an eight minute confrontation between Tlaib and Biden. She declined to comment on what they talked about, so I assume it didn't go great.

Yeah, when Biden did a clip driving his Corvette with Jay Leno back in 2016, he mentioned it was only the third time he'd gotten to drive it in 7 years.

IDK about anymore, but he was driving as late as 2013 or so. I recall someone here posting some video of him driving himself, Melania, and Baron back from some event in a Bentley or something. Too lazy to go digging for it though.

Also if Biden hit the journalists he'd probably be vilified by the right anyway.
