Good thing Trump keeps Chinese cars out of the country, otherwise we would be able to buy better cars at lower prices www.fastcompany.com/91503415/byd... As Trump always says, "why pay less?"
company. I think what BYD is showing is real. Again, when in production and on the road, we shall see. I think the main point is that China is moving forward into the future while America is going backwards.
This jumped out at me yesterday as well. In… December? this was a thought experiment someone posted.
It’s now something that can go almost unremarked on.
I am not sure this is a good idea? But it’s at least plausible now which would have seemed bonkers just a few months ago.
14 cases, that are known. DHS refuses to respond to inquiries.
“In response to the outbreak, the facility has been closed to visitors and legal advisers and isn’t expected to reopen until March 19”

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
That time when new DHS Secretary, current Sen. Mullin challenged a witness to a fight during a hearing
youtu.be/x0ae-Mhz1AI?...
Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."
“Sir, this is a time, this is a place,” Mullin said. “If you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here.” “OK, that’s fine,” O’Brien responded, his deadpan tone accentuated by a Boston accent. “Perfect.” “You want to do it now?” Mullin asked. “I’d love to do it right now,” O’Brien said. “Well, stand your butt up then,” Mullin challenged. “You stand your butt up then, big guy,” O’Brien said. Mullin rose from the dais and reached to take off his wedding band. But before the men could descend into fisticuffs, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the committee’s chair, decided he had seen enough. “No, no, sit down!” an exasperated Sanders implored Mullin. “You’re a United States senator. Sit down, please!” He pleaded with Mullin to sit down.

Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
I don't understand how we have to beg people to get vaccinated while other people are fine shooting themselves up with untested compounds for unproven "gains" risking god knows what
Honestly so many contenders. Incompetence or grift is not the pathway, must also steal spotlight from Trump or step on too many of his news cycles.
One of the worst/most dangerous/most corrupt cabinet officers is gone.
for whom does the bell toll next?
Corey Lewandowski's track record of hurting women is pretty amazing.
