lol. The transcript of the Biden interviews totally contradicts the liar who concluded he was a “elderly man with a poor memory” but omitted the parts of the interview where he told Biden he has a near photographic memory.
Both can’t be true, and we can see with our own eyes that Biden’s memory is just fine unlike his predecessor.
Even right wing papers are retracting their dozens of stories they produced based on this report now that they can read the transcript and see that the report was nothing but a political smear, with the transcript proving that Biden was not confused nor stumped on basic questions and that it was the interviewer who couldn’t remember details from minutes earlier or even if it was morning or afternoon.

😂 Once again, reality rears its ugly head and utterly destroys another MAGA lie. 😂

Bonus - Republican Representative Ken Buck of Colorado’s 4th district has announced he’s so disgusted with MAGA nonsense he’s leaving congress this week, further narrowing the razor thin majority.

Best Things About Being Blind

luxintenebris says...

- handicapped rear view hanging fuzz-dice-type-o-things are transportable to folks using their autos to transport handicapped people.

- the light thing is somewhat negligible. in this neck-of-woods, lots of folks barely leave enough lights on to even note they're home.

- the 'mouth & heart' benefit is universal if one pays attention.

- they do have their own network...as in...those so blind they refuse to see (Rupe pluckin' those pigeons).

- sure you'd miss out on MTG but Chaplin films as well (gawd i love slapstick): just the opening > https://youtu.be/Sj4Lb7yD_fY

CHP Officer not happy when you go 90 mph

newtboy says...

I sure am. Spent between 83 and 96 in the bay. So glad to be out of that now.

73 Charger….nice. A good friend spent all high school and then some building one of those, massive motor with blower, spool in back, etc. It was gorgeous and mean. I think he wanted to street race it, but the first day he ever drove it the rear end went around the front on an off ramp and he stuffed it into a freeway column totaling it. Tragedy.

I followed suit with my legend, fishtailing head on into a K rail at 60 in the rain….but I drove it for almost a decade first. Now I drive my mom’s old Acura TSX much more responsibly too.

Getting old REALLY sucks when you break yourself while you’re young! Oof!

It looks like we're all Bay Area refugees!

My Camaro was a shark-nose '97.

For classics, I owned a '73 Charger SE and I loved me the hell out of that car, too. It was the size of an aircraft carrier and the engine compartment was bigger than my condo. The scariest thing about that car was how easily the back end would come around in a sharp turn. The first rains of the year were a horror show when the pavement was like oiled glass. "Am I gonna beat that red? Gun it! ... uh-oh."

Now I drive a Mazda 3 and responsibly. Getting old sucks.

Some Humans are AOK

BSR says...

That one guy made a dedicated punch to the rear window but couldn't shatter it. I'm sure he must have done some damage to his hand but tried to not show it.

"OMG What is he doing?

That time your accident avoidance system served you well

I Crashed My Plane

StukaFox says...

The FAA is up there with the TSA, DHS and the NSA as far as TLAs you should NEVER piss-off.

I got pulled over by DHS while I was driving through North Cascades National Park a few years ago. They weren't even marked trucks. One pulled ahead of me, the second one was right on my rear bumper and the "PULL OVER NOW!" was like the voice of God.

I was going camping and they made me pull every fucking thing out of my Subie. Then they went through it all. They confiscated my two pre-rolls and my pipe ("you're on Federal land"), then they called "backup". I sat on the side of the road at Newhalem for about two hours while they dug through all my stuff like a half-dozen times and kept asking me the same stupid-ass questions ("why are you here", "do you know anyone in this area?", "have you ever been arrested for a crime in the US or abroad?") over and over. People where driving by and looking at me and my wife like we were the whitest ISIS fighters ever.

They gave me the ol' "You're free to go" and drove off.

Fuckers took my dope!!

The FAA report will be out in a year. I hope this goes to criminal charges, a complete disregard for human safety (not his).

The Decade of the EV

SFOGuy says...

On this one, Bob, assuming you are not being ironic, I totally agree with you. Most people drive about 11.5 miles each way to and from work--and most cars used for non-work go less distance. Range for at least one car in a family isn't really the hang up.

A Tesla Model X (just to pick one) goes 0-60 in around 3.8 seconds. 3.8 seconds is ridiculous fast. The Plaid variant does it in 2.5 seconds. The fastest internal combustion engine I've ever personally lived with did/does it in 5.9. Thus, moms hauling groceries can flatten the bags against the rear hatch about twice as fast as me. I am a poser lol.

The F-150 pick up is rumored to do it..4.4 seconds. Good grief. The load will fly out of the bed.

Those are FUN vehicles.

No
Your not worth the wasted dialog because you head is so far up your rear that you can not her anything except you own echos.

newtboy said:

So I was correct, you cannot back up your own statements with anything. Just more maga tears and tantrums.

Are all Trumpsters now totally incapable of explaining their grade school snark, or is it just you and your sockpuppets?

Bicycle powered car

spawnflagger says...

hilarious. They should remove the passenger & rear seat to cut weight. maybe keep a 12V battery just to power the rear hazard lights. Perhaps add one of those orange triangles to the back like Amish horse-n-buggies have...

How Road Barriers Stopped Killing Drivers

newtboy says...

The technical term is a rear crash attenuator.
I worked for a friend with a patent on foam cured carbon fiber manufacturing, using the heat and pressure of an expanding foam core to cure the carbon fiber without vacuum bagging or autoclaving....I helped with designing, and personally designed and built the molds, and built a number of test attenuators meant to replace the huge yellow plastic boxes on cal trans trucks. Basically an approximately 3x4x6' carbon fiber box with a dense foam core containing multiple tuned air chambers. We had to tune the chambers to stop vehicles at 60 mph without exceeding certain g forces. In the end, he lost the contract, but not because the device didn't work, I think it was too expensive, and my friend was not a great businessman. Ours was far lighter than the plastic versions, and was meant to pay for itself in fuel savings hauling it around.

It was quick, but I'm pretty sure 11:56 answers a question I'd had for years, but never actually bothered to look up. Every so often I'd see a parked highway dept vehicle with a big, fairly flat object lowered to a horizontal position behind it. Barrier makes *way* more sense than any of the hypotheses I'd imagined.

Pickup Truck Flies Off Overpass

Payback says...

That truck is still recognizable. This surprises me. Looks like it only rear-ended a Tesla. (watching crash videos shows me Teslas are apparently the emergency-stop cushion of choice)
