The Pinto thing is total BS sensationalist stat mining. They include the guy that tried to blow himself up in the Cybertruck in Vegas as someone who was killed by the truck. Really?

The parts thing only happens when vehicles and replacement parts are under warranty. @newtboy If you can find the source showing the warranty is voided driving a Cybertruck in the grass then I'll find the same language in the warranty docs for Fords.

This stuff is funny and Tesla doesn't deserve any leeway since their CEO has apparently gone"fact free" lately, but pushing easy to discredit "facts" seems like it distracts from the real issues with these vehicles and the company as a whole.

The biggest problem with Tesla in my mind is their over-promising and shitty service. I'm not sure how companies get away with promising stuff that isn't available yet but it seems like it is getting more common.

To me it looks like their service problems are a mix of 3 factors.
1. Not enough replacement parts at the ready
2. Service centers are understaffed because of the principal of running at below expected need until shit breaks. Only then can you apply more resources.
3. Service centers were designed to work efficiently but are run by a bunch of idiots that came from other manufacturer service centers so they want to do it "their way" instead of following the efficient hands off model that was originally planned.

*doublepromote a *quality and pertinent bit of information I wish more people learned in school.
Tariffs don’t stimulate economies, they stifle them and start trade wars that are always losers for consumers, they add a national sales tax to any tariffed imports, and the countries targeted always reciprocate making it hard or impossible to compete on the international markets and hurting American companies.
Our last Trump tariff/trade war with China was a horrific failure costing hundreds of billions of dollars, hurting American farmers (had to bail them out for $50 billion more and thousands closed shop), manufacturing, supply lines, and consumers…all for absolutely nothing gained.
Get ready for round 2 to feel like Glass Joe was replaced with Tyson…up to 200% tariffs across the board are going to absolutely destroy the economy in extremely short order.

Also Ben Stein’s birthday

Bwaaahahaha! That’s absolutely not what you said, you said it will be great under the felon, booming all the time, everything will be amazingly better in every way…or crash immediately under Harris (just like you said in 2016 and 2020)….hypocritically hilarious that now you admit he will tank it. 😂

Also hilarious you want zero responsibility despite having 100% control….or it would be hilarious if your party wasn’t led by an infantile fascist with unregulated power and immunity for ignoring the constitution on a vendetta against over half the country.

The Biden economy is the envy of the entire world and far better than the first Trump economy unless you erase all his losses and only count successes. It is growing, not shrinking, manufacturing, gdp, jobs, wages, and earning power are ALL growing, deficit, inflation and interest shrinking..and every other metric is moving in a positive direction under Biden including the deficit. That will not continue under the bankrupter in chief. Hide and watch. He will double the debt and we will have nothing to show for it but another negative gdp.

GDP, stock markets, profits, jobs stupid, infrastructure, all measurably and significantly better under Biden than the felon, all better under Biden even erasing the omnibus disaster that was 2020 under Trump.

I blamed Trump for year 1 of Bidenomics because he kept most Trump policies, just as I will blame Bidenomics for the first 6 months to 1 year of Trumpenomics (depending on what he changes and how fast).

I just gave you the clear undisputed starting point numbers. Just like in 2016. I would bet whatever you want that, again, they will be worse after 4 years, but you Welch on bets so I’ll just make you a gentleman’s bet, those and all other economic numbers (except the personal wealth of the top 1%) will be worse in 4 years.

If he follows through with the mass deportations, that will trigger a depression.
If he kills the ACA with just a concept of a replacement, it will trigger a recession.
If he enacts 20% tariffs on imports, it will trigger a recession, followed by a trade war, followed by a global depression.
If he withholds federal funding from blue states as he has threatened, it will trigger a civil war.
The first tump administration was a slow train wreck (with a few actual train wrecks thrown in), the Biden administration has been a slow cleanup of that wreck…admittedly far too slow. The next 4 years are poised to be an ELE size meteor strike, making us wish for those halcion days of deregulated chemical train wrecks.

Yes. Never bet against the prejudices and stupidity of the average voter. Think how stupid the average person is, then realize fully half are actually stupider than that.

The assassin is a MAGGOT. It was Trump’s teams assasination plan, idiot, hoping to replace the loser with someone palatable and not bat shit crazy…that’s why his own security team allowed so many blatant indefensible failures. They missed, so they cut his ear for sympathy hoping to at least gain him a few votes…it failed he’s lost many…there’s no real injury at all just an ear diaper. None. (On a side note, it’s hilarious that the same people who wouldn’t wear a mask for public safety or to end lockdowns sooner because it made them look silly will wear a sanitary napkin on their head to emulate great leader’s tiny ear scratch 😂)

If it had been successful and a real Republican candidate emerged with the sympathy for the last candidate’s assassination, Republicans would likely have beaten Biden easily, especially if their candidate was 60 or under. Trump is like Clinton, he draws votes for the opposition more than himself.

Yes, the people, the money people, and the super pacs already overflowing with cash to defeat the felon are 100% behind Harris, she already has more delegates than needed for the nomination, and between her and one superpac she has raised $240 million in 24 hours after the announcement, mostly small donations despite tricks like Elon blocking access to her campaign page. This is on top of the $240 million in Bidens super pac that will soon be hers.

It’s hilarious to hear the right try to paint a career successful prosecutor who in just one case recovered $18 billion for consumers, AG, multi term Senator, and VP as a puppet with no experience and no accomplishments but their candidate, a jr 2 year senator with no other experience (who will end up as president as soon as Trump pardons himself, sells a few billion in state secrets, and decides he’s tired of president ing and retires) and no accomplishments at all besides a book lambasting Appalachians like his mother as weak minded lazy drug addicted welfare queens and called Trump “America’s Hitler” before spinning 180 degrees is fine, not an inexperienced “yes man” puppet.

Joe is the most successful president in our lifetime, avoiding a depression Trump steered us into and cut the brakes before leaving, ending Covid, rescuing American manufacturing and (unfortunately) oil production, making America not just energy independent but an exporter, rescuing gdp from a negative, rescuing jobs better than every Republican president in my lifetime combined, even if you remove the massive negative that was Trump’s record (worst ever in history by far), slowed immigration significantly during the season when it normally explodes (despite Republicans blocking bipartisan border security measures), saving NATO from the likes of Trump, saving Ukraine from Putin (and now returning Crimea) which Trump would stop day one, reaffirming our support of Taiwan (which Trump would let China have), reaffirming our support of S Korea (which Trump will let N Korea have out of fear of nukes). Trump is the puppet president, fool, but the strings all lead to foreign dictators.

Downvote based purely on the description, which is insanity. Could only make it 30 seconds into this delusional masturbatory fantasy. “Everyone's getting fired across all industries, says Danielle. U.S. recession is here and the housing market is crashing.” She actually said this recession started last October. The economy is falling the economy is falling!…the MAGA mantra since Biden took office and never true.
(Edit…gave it another try only to find out it’s at least in part a commercial for real estate agents from a real estate agency! LOL)

The market is at record highs and rocketing up, unemployment still at (near) record lows, gdp up 3.4% 4th quarter 23, inflation 3% and falling (-.1% in May-June), yearly wage growth 4.7% in April (last #s), manufacturing steadily on the rise, profits are record highs, oil production at record highs and rising, and the 100% guaranteed deep recession/depression we had coming after 2020 was averted.
Even immigration is getting drastically better since Biden sidestepped the obstructionist MAGA congress and acted unilaterally like he should never have to if congress functioned.

The current state of the economy is not good, it’s GREAT!

Compared to the last year of the felon’s administration, 2020, it’s impossibly amazingly stupendous, the Trump administration failed in every way and left the next administration holding the bag…this administration turned the failed economy 180 degrees around to become the envy of the world economically, created more jobs than every Republican president in my lifetime combined (the last guy lost more than anyone ever) created more manufacturing jobs than the last guy lost (and that’s a lot) took a negative gdp to a healthy positive, turned record high unemployment into record low unemployment for a record long time period, saved democracy and NATO in Europe, avoided the guaranteed recession/depression we were headed into in Jan 21, and never sold state secrets or policy for personal or familial gains (despite all the myriad of false never proven claims).
More projection from the party that nearly ended America in 2020, then tried again on Jan 6 21.

To prove the point, TMZ obtained Ring Doorbell footage of Philadelphia 76ers player Kelly Oubre Jr. returning home after allegedly being hit by a car.
This included footage inside his home, with audio.
No crime had been committed at the home, and there was no investigatory reason to share the footage with police, and absolutely no excuse for the police selling it to TMZ to air.
Don’t buy Ring unless you want your most private personal activities in your home made public, buy a camera without a back door the manufacturer has had to pay millions for abusing and invading customers privacy for fun.

Again, Bobby gets it 100% backwards. Not surprising since he gets 100% of his information from random internet trolls that make a living by lying to MAGgots. Can’t blame them, MAGgots will buy any stupid claim as long as it’s made up and nonsensical.

Democrats aren’t “all for illegals”, they are all for fixing the intentionally broken legal immigration system, but republicans block each and every attempt to fund border patrol or immigration courts, then go on tv and tell Latin America that America’s borders are wide open and they’re welcomed by most Americans and the government, then go on to blame those who say “the borders aren’t open and don’t come” for the people who show up. Just ludicrous….like everything bobby claims.

This manufactured “crisis” is 100% thanks to failed Republican border plans (like build the fence, and close the immigration courts), and the governor of Texas and Florida should be prosecuted for thousands of cases of trafficking undocumented aliens across state borders, a crime called Domestic Transporting: Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) makes it a crime for any person, with knowledge or reckless disregard of the alien’s illegal immigration status, to transport an alien within the United States by any means of transportation, that has a penalty of up to 10 years per case, and he’s knowingly transported thousands.

Why don’t we just call righties what they are, idiotic criminal bigots.

I don’t watch or read MSNBC…if it’s truly 100% about calling out manufactured crises and whining about them, that is awful. I do find it hard to believe that it is, though.

(Edit: I looked, 11 top headlines for “today’s news”, 3 about Trump…of the 21 latest headlines (bottom of page) only one about Trump, none about Hunter or Giuliani.)
I think you’re confusing supplemental articles covered under one topic as “headlines”…I count 7 top of page headlines, 2 about Trump’s legal cases, 1 about Trump’s lawyers talking shit about him, 1 about the failing Hunter investigation. Too much Trump, yes, but plenty of real news too. Their format is gawd awful….tabloid at the top, news at the bottom.

Granted, Trump’s constantly expanding legal issues are the lead story everywhere. That’s hardly a pure distraction when he’s 1) an ex president facing hundreds of felonies for actions he took while in office and 2) he’s the Republican front runner facing hundreds of felonies including sedition and espionage. Giuliani is a part of that same story. I don’t see that as a manufactured story/crisis. (But it does get too much attention by far).
EDIT: That said, the disgraced ex president and rapist was indicted minutes ago on four felony counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States "by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election"; conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding; a conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted; and obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote. That’s insanely big news.


It’s also not a pure distraction to mention Hunter when the entire house is doing nothing more than “investigating” him, and his long touted public legal case just went to court for a failed plea agreement. That’s newsworthy because one party makes it so, but barely.

It is a terrible state if that’s ALL they mention, agreed. There’s lots more going on to address.

You’ve got to be kidding.
Pointing out fake manufactured crises (that are invariably rooted in xenophobic hatred) and educating is the same thing as manufacturing a fake crisis? 🤦‍♂️

Please point to 5 major manufactured crises the left is trying to play off right now…how about 5 the party has floated in let’s say the last 5 years, since you are attempting to “both sides” the issue.

Reminding your base how unserious and infantile the “other” is is perfectly reasonable when there’s no choice but to deal with the dishonest infants making up fake crises chock full of lies daily. Debunking idiotic nonsense is a public service.
Reminding people that, like in the case of “woke”, the right has decided that “being aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)” is the worst thing possible and have intentionally with malice and forethought abused the term to improperly equate it with anything they irrationally hate, which itself is a racist action….that’s a good thing, a positive for society.

Again, since you are both siding this issue, put up or shut up….please list 5 fake crises the left floated to distract from actual crises in the last 5 years, should be a no brainer, right? (Accusations that end in convictions don’t count, those aren’t fake)

It’s really more like the house is on fire, the guy in the red shirt holding a lit flare with singed clothes and eyebrows says throw this gasoline on it, the guy in the blue shirt is trying to offer a hose but the guy in the red shirt is standing on it and poking holes in the hose while shouting “Don’t take that, that hose is full of fire!” You say neither put out the fire, so both are equally as useless. 🤦‍♂️

Republicans are simply not interested in feasible solutions, Democrats are (with a very few notable exceptions, most of whom switched parties like Kristen Senema or Tricia Cotham, or are utterly despised and should be tossed out of the party like Manchin).

The Republican Party platform in the last presidential election simply didn’t exist, they had NONE AT ALL. Verbally it was nothing but “we hate the left unconditionally”, literally, in writing they had nada, nothing, zip.
Conversely, the left actually has consistently had a written public party platform with positive goals for the nation and a roadmap to reach them.

Lol. Senator Cruz!?! What a paragon of virtue that’s always honest when making accusations. 😂 let’s see proof before going one inch farther, verified certified proof accepted in a court of law. Until then, it’s just another cry of wolf from dishonest little boys.

Who were these alleged S.A.R.s involving? Trump? I notice no one was named. Did you not notice that? Let’s have names, and banks listed, and let’s hear the outcome of the official investigations into the reports if they were submitted, which is unlikely…because it sure sounds like more nothing.

So….How many S.A.R.s did banks send about Trump. Hundreds if not thousands. Guaranteed you don’t want to hear, Bob, and would refuse to accept the full number that’s definitely exponentially more than the senator without evidence claims about a Biden, every accusation is an admission. You and he are just reminding everyone that Trump was not only reported for suspicious banking hundreds - thousands of times, he was also convicted of banking frauds, business frauds, charity frauds, and wire frauds, and is still under multiple investigations for blatant money laundering with multiple criminal organizations in multiple foreign countries…Biden was not…neither Biden. Neither of them was convicted of being a rapist either!! 😂

Sucker. You’ll buy anything as long as it’s stupid and without evidence. Another failed attempt to manufacture a crisis by the most hated and untrustworthy man in Washington. “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you”- Lindsey Graham

Significan?

One thing that is very obvious when I visit the States is how bombarded one is by any manufactured crises. It is inescapable and constant and loud. One of the most propagandized countries in the world, I have read. It is exhausting and eventually enters your thoughts when you have your guard down.

Um…did you have a mini stroke, your first sentence is gibberish, not unusual from you but concerning.

The same bachelors degree can be gotten from Phoenix University online, so maybe it wasn’t easy for you, but it’s not an advanced or difficult BS degree to earn.
It’s not even circuitry design, just basic repair and manufacture skills. You don’t really need to know how circuits work, only how to diagnose and replace them when they fail. Essentially how to read a multi meter, manual, and how to solder. You’re a service tech, my brother had more advanced electronic skills when he was 12 and rebuilt/upgraded his apple 2 computer at home. Don’t pretend you have some advanced electronics degree, you have the bare minimum degree to be a professional service tech. 🤦‍♂️

Jethro wouldn’t have taken as electives, much less aced advanced molecular biology, or advanced placement B/C calculus and statistics. Jethro couldn’t tell the difference between your, you’re, and yore, or there, their, and they’re…that’s definitely more your level and speed friendo. 😂

Gaetz just said on an interview with Semafor when talking about his fellow conservative’s position on the debt ceiling “negotiations”…

”They don’t feel like we should negotiate with our hostage.”

https://youtube.com/shorts/Hg7tYc_Qrhs?feature=share

More proof the debt ceiling crisis is 100% manufactured terroristic “holding the country hostage” to subvert democracy and rule from the minority or destroy the economy, and that the right has no intention of negotiating or compromising their insane position that the right may add 1/3 of all US debt in one term unfettered by any restraints but the left must be so miserly they abandon their own barely funded safety net programs … but not Republican waste and grift like unwanted military programs and other corporate welfare…and absolutely not increase revenue but cut it more or else.

America doesn’t negotiate with hostage taking terrorists. Even “negotiating” invites more of the same. Easy solution to this is…
1)Walk from the fake “negotiations”. 2)unilaterally abolish the debt ceiling by presidential order. 3) Crush Republicans in 24. 4) Legislate a solution and stop the stupidity.

How did 4 years of MAGA bring the US to this!?!

Soooo…
Freedom Caucus leader Matt Gaetz just went on air and said “I feel like most conservatives support “limit save grow” (the >22% across the board slash and burn economy destroying cuts) and they don’t feel like we should negotiate with our hostage.”
There you have it…those controlling this manufactured economic crisis know this is terroristic hostage taking for ransom, they think of it in those terms themselves.
Remember, the American economy is their hostage, and they plan to cut out its kidney and send it through the mail on Wednesday.

Fiscally responsible? Are they saving money? Are they putting America ahead of themselves? Are their stated plans even possible? Is this in any way a rational, reasonable, or sane way to govern? Would MAGgots refrain from murder if circumstances were reversed and Dems were holding Trump’s economy hostage?
The answer to all is a resounding “no”.

Aaaahahahaha!!!!
What utter fan boy nonsense.
Tesla is poised to sell 10 billion humanoid robots!?! 😂
Tesla is going to outlast the big auto manufacturers!?! 😂

They still haven’t been capable of producing their pickup truck, Ford has.
Their semi truck has horrific range and capacity issues.
Tesla can’t sell the cars they’re making. They are no where near capacity or even profitability at their factories and are cutting production because they can’t sell their inventory even with major discounts.
Tesla build quality is not up to industry standards, and Teslas don’t hold their value on par with other EVs.


Q Bob- why are you still hyping Tesla when you claim you sold all yours when it crashed? Was that a lie? 🤦‍♂️
