No chance an ICE vehicle can go 10 years without an oil change. Spark plugs, coils, fuel injectors, and filters will all degrade in that time, diminishing range.

How are people still spouting this nonsense? EVs are more reliable than ICE vehicles. We know this from experience.

As a natural born US citizen I feel terrorized. If you don’t then you aren’t paying attention.

This is such a pathetic cliche. The differences are clear. If you don’t see them it’s because you’re trying not to.

I would definitely bat an eye at cops acting like human flock cameras. That sounds like an incredible waste of resources.

No, he is avoiding them. He was found guilty of 34 felonies related to election interference in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Judge Juan Merchan declined to sentence him to any punishment whatsoever. He was then re-elected president. He will never face any consequences for those crimes.

The Supreme Court has ruled that (Republican) presidents are above the law. Official actions can't be prosecuted, but you have to ask the court what official means on a case-by-case basis, making the ruling implicitly partisan. Trump will thus never face consequences for his crimes in office.

Trump is an admitted (Access Hollywood) and convicted (E Jean Carroll) sexual predator. He has paid several million dollars to E Jean Carroll for raping her but that is the extent of any consequence he has suffered. He continues to be president.
