An editorial board that gets its editorials vetted by a billionaire who doesn't give a FUCK about home ownership? That editorial board? You see how any moral or intellectual gravitas you might have had is now GONE?

Isn't that the idea?

Ah, more editorials from the unelected and basically irresponsible corporate media.

I thought the complaint was that he is dominating the direction...so the debate without him there is necessary to get a idea of what they want to ask about. Again as we've seen incessantly from the Globe and Mail & other legacy Canadian & American conservative media, dishonest editorializing.

Spending billions = a little excursion? WTF? Worse, killing HOW many people? On a idea that came to him while sitting on the toilet?

Ukraine just entered the chat with some words about a US guarantee of protection.

Picking a side away from fascism sounds good, but he's still another prick of a billionaire.

Populism is why they went from 24 to 7. The public might enjoy a firebrand populist but voting for one is a different thing. In an existential national crisis, the public didn't take them seriously and it showed in the outcome.

The Republicans are beginning to mutter & sputter but when it comes to a vote, their spines slide out thru their shoes.

He only wears that stupid hat to cover that stupid hairdo he has. He has no gene in his DNA that can be attributed to respect or empathy.

Not sure how this logically plays out. They've already been compensated. By us. Trump took the fees. Businesses which absorbed the fee without passing it on, yes....but not those who didn't. What another Trump mess.

Even driven by bus drivers? Which I prefer anyway. Driverless vehicles in a sea of occupied vehicles, operated by irrational & unpredictable humans is a unnecessary gimmick.

Wouldn't be surprised if some little Russian birdie whispered some coordinates into the ear of the guy operating the Iranian missile launcher. Trump's regime at peak cluster f&*k inefficient clumsiness.

Christ, your first frigging paragraph! You don't even understand what you are posting.
Get off the sauce & get off the internet.You are summarily dismissed from any future attention.

I wonder if they could set up a passenger being able to drive the vehicle, slide your license into a reader which gives you control. That way you always have a vehicle but not own one.

Not for EV buses. That seems like a more sensible solution.

Following a predetermined route?

Like a bus?

Why not driverless EV buses?

Having more cars only increases congestion.

Why the fuck can't they improve mass transit instead of building cages for antisocial people?

And no doubt he'll have the same failure rate.

For fucks sakes.. and your belief in false equivalence proves your ideology is better suited to providing for facism over democracy. You just don't get the difference, do you? Not even now in Trump's 2nd year of his 2nd Term ...but thank god, it isn't boring Clinton or Harris, right?

Essentially a hybrid. The thing is you don't need much gas to get 8 hours out of a generator.

The thing is Trump and Republicans don't really care about regime change. They really think it's a good midterms campaign theme.

That's the spitting image of Vladimir Putin....

So much for that issue. The Republicans have milked the wall for decades.

Sorry to complain when the true victims are you.

Yet spending an inordinate amount of time attacking Dems instead of Republicans? Spare me that you warned people bullshit. Also, I was here during that time when Bernie Bros were blanketing social media in 2015. They weren't talking about Trump, they were warning against Hillary Clinton.
