A car that does 0-60 in 3 seconds will always be cool, even if the idiot king of dorks played a part in bringing it to life.

Yeah but burning rubber is only cool with cars going forward. When it's burning rubber and standing still we all point and laugh.

Kavanaugh aint Trump's friend. Nobody is Trump's friend. He is sending this Tucker Carlson meatsteak back to the kitchen in the most petty way possible. gently caress him, Kavanaugh is responsible for 1 whole day Trump didnt hear his name on the TV.

Edit: to clarify - I would not be surpirsed if this was motivated by spite towards the establishment ghouls that put the SCOTUS nominee menu and pitch package pushing Bert in the first place. A petty pull of a presidential lever cuz finally someone asked him a question.

The details here are that Don McGahn, White House Counsel and Kavanaugh Friend, basically made the call on what the FBI could and couldn't look at. Trump just ordered OK FBI GO without actually ordering anything. This is a non-criminal probe, so it's weird and the FBI actually has to be told what to do.

So either 1) Trump is a gigantic idiot and didn't realize what McGahn was doing or 2) Trump is lying and knew all along.

and the great thing is that both of these are probably equally likely.

Last time someone called the cops to break up a party like this was the last supper, and look how that turned out.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

No apologies needed, that's pretty awesome (though it is a bit eerie how quiet it is). I was just trying to make a bad joke about Tesla's breaking down and catching fire. I'm with you, the cars are cool, just the company/Musk annoy me.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Up until about 2 years ago, I pretty much bought the hype around Musk and everything he touches, because if all you're hearing about him is one-liners in the news about his companies creating reusable self-landing booster rockets, spacecraft, and electric cars from scratch, it's not too hard to buy into the hype.

It wasn't until sometime early last year, when I saw a video of a Tesla factory tour (before they had set up for Model 3 production, mind you) that I thought "Uh, that doesn't look thought-through at all.", so I kept reading up on some more details and that's when it hit me that I'd kinda stupidly just bought all the hype that was footed on pretty much cult of personality. The climax of that realization was when I found out that the supposedly revolutionary "battery technology" I had been hearing about was giant bricks of vape batteries taped together. Don't get me wrong, there are absolutely valid reasons to consider those things from an economic / supply chain standpoint, but when you're not just building a loving car from scratch, but intending to revolutionize the automotive sector through innovation, that's just supremely dumb.

And then, of course, came his twitter meltdowns / cave rescue / stock shenanigans, so it all went downhill from there. I honestly feel bad for the company, because I figured regardless of the figurehead, some progress / competition would come from it at the end of the day.
