  1. https://apnews.com/article/tesla-autopilot-recall-driver-monitoring-system-8060508627a34e6af889feca46eb3002 Hmmmm....in a story totally unrelated to the above, I'm sure, you can't click on links on Twitter right now.
  2. Current Amazon is just an extension of the original model. What Elon claims he wants to do with Twitter is completely changing it's purpose. There are already things that do what Elon wants Twitter to do. If he truly tries that, it will fail spectacularly. Moreso than his current attempts with Twitter.
  3. The victim card? This should be old hat for Trump supporters, he does that in every interview. Of course he didn't answer questions or be deposed, he's being criminally investigated. Either he or his lawyer would have to have been the biggest idiots in the world to let him testify. That's why his previous bluff to testify publicly should have been called by Comer, but he's too dim to have seen the obvious bluff. And now we can let the legal system hold Hunter Biden accountable for whatever crimes he may be guilty of.
  4. Ah, the rare no sizzle, no steak take! Neither hat nor cattle for our man here. Just endless conclusory statements that he just says are true, which is his proof of their truth.
  5. Wow. It's crazy that a man who was pretty good at running an EV tech company and very good at running a space tech company was not automatically good at running a social media company!
  6. Ahhh, the Man with No Substance strikes again, saying nothing while accusing others of having nothing. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/10/22/20925403/emoluments-clause-trump-g7-resort-impeachment-businesses https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/supreme-court-ducks-opportunity-trump-emoluments-cases#:~:text=Trump violated both Emoluments Clauses,presented ongoing conflicts of interest. https://www.acslaw.org/expertforum/profiting-off-the-presidency-trumps-violations-of-the-emoluments-clauses/ Also notable that there were three suits brought against Trump for these violations, none of which Trump's legal team defended on the merits. They sought a dismissal of one brought by Congress because they argued Congress didn't have standing to bring the suit. The other two they lost one at the lower level, but when it made it's way to SCOTUS, the acting chief solicitor for the Trump administration argued that SCOTUS should just sit on the case until after the election, and then rule it moot, since he was out of office...which they did, again conveniently avoiding the merits.
  7. LOL. Your reading comprehension skills are weak. I'm not saying he SHOULD have been impeached for those reasons, I'm simply using your logic of impeaching a president for not enforcing or following the laws of the land in a way you like. It's undeniable that Trump did violate the Emoluments Clauses and the Hatch Act. His were particularly brazen, but most administrations violated the act at least once or twice when they're in office. The Emoluments Clause was the far more pernicious and pathetic violations.
  8. The argument the Texas SC is making is a tautology of nonsense. "A person who meets the criteria to have an abortion need not seek out a court order. However, the criteria they have to meet, is set by the legislature and the courts."
  9. You're going to have to be more specific on what your concern is.
  10. These are, of course, not facts but your feelings on the matter. But if you want to go down that route, former president Trump should have been impeached dozens and dozens of times for ACTUALLY violating/ignoring the Hatch Act and, more importantly, the Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution.
  11. I can't even imagine what the reasoning was. He banned him before because of his use of the dead children, something like: Now, we found out later the first part was a lie, but apparently so was the last!
  12. He literally said "it doesn't matter to me what the law says, to me it's impeachable." Every accusation you throw out there is a confession.
  13. We understand your personal feelings are dictating what you think should happen or what you think is happening in other places.
  14. Ridiculous question: all of them.
  15. Lololol. What is it you think this says?
  16. BTW i noticed a lot of our frequent commenters who were defending the refusal for public testimony blatantly ignored this from less than a month prior to Comer rejecting Hunter's offer to testify publicly. Why the ignoring? Well if you believe some of your cohorts, these new charges are just a ploy to protect Hunter. So which is it? And nobody is saying Hunter Biden shouldn't be investigated, that's a strawman. Investigate away. But the fruitless attempts to tie it to Joe so far appear to be just that: fruitless, but politically popular with the base. Like I said, vibes-based politicking.
  17. Beat me to it. Modern GOP politics is much more of a vibes-based operation than facts.
  18. One more reason Askren made my list!
  19. I've known CP for years, met him in person for the first time at WTT last year. He's a good dude. I've met @Husker_Du a couple of different times (first in Destin for the first "collegiate duals" event where Iowa and Penn State both wrestled, but chose not to wrestle each other to my everlasting annoyance and again at Vegas where we had a great time at the craps table). Good dude. I also have known @Jason Bryant for years. Good dude, AND he got me a beer at my first NCAA tournament. I met @Hammerlock3, too, good dude who hates most everybody. Now, not everybody is everybody's cup of tea, and I will admit I'm particularly forgiving in this area (it takes a lot for me not to like somebody), so it's perfectly ok to not like any of the above, but if you're basing that only on what you've observed in public forums, I can tell you that's not all of who any of these guys are. I met all those guys through the message boards. The tone and tenor of the message boards is snarky, and it's carried over to varying degrees in their work (JB least of all by far). They all love the sport, but Willie is the only one who was successful at the sport as a competitor; this doesn't matter to me, I sucked at wrestling. Pyles has done some stuff that (rightly) annoyed people, but this is nothing; it's honest and transparent, and we should want more of that. For so long most of the media coverage has been minimal in terms of direct information, and that's started to change recently. Pyles and Willie for years (using their various forums) have discussed that the coaches bitch about other teams cheating in recruiting, but nobody will go on the record. I'm glad for the transparency, and he's right...Borelli was complaining and "punching down" without acknowledging any counterpoint. EDIT: Also, this obviously doesn't take into their personal relationships with one another. Obviously Willie and CP have had very public issues after seeming quite close for years, although there seemed to be some thawing recently. Obviously Willie's lived experience is obviously more deep than my own in this area, lol.
  20. Thank God we all woke up from our nightmare. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1247320
  21. Literally nobody is stopping them from investigating, and certainly nobody is making them, repeatedly claim they have evidence, and then when it's time to put up, they pee down their legs. Is it likely a huge waste of taxpayer money to investigate nothing purely to prop up the ego of one 79 year old man-child and/or to pass modern GOP purity tests? Yes, of course. But who cares? The Party of Limited Government and Cutting Government Waste continues their complete shift if philosophy!
  22. Depends on how we're defining heels. I don't think it's necessarily fair to group the different kinds. I think of heels (within the context of real sports) as guys who showboated unnecessarily on their opponents/general fans and/or displayed outwardly bad sportsmanship; I also believe they have to be good enough where it means something/they can back their talk up: 125: Thomas Gilman, come on now. Remember when he ran into the Minnesota huddle? What a nutjob. 133: Austin Desanto, unquestionably. Tony Ramos slander will not stand here, HL3. He was only boring as a senior! 141: 149: Jordan Oliver 157: 165: 174: Ben Askren (I will not honor the Cornell guy who MMA kneed a guy in the face by naming him or putting him in such illustrious company. 184: Bo Nickal (he was his most obnoxious at 197, but I slid him in here to make room for 197: AJ Ferrari 285: Gable Steveson To be clear, I loved watching almost all these guys.
  23. The absence of evidence should be construed as evidence. Bold.
  24. Man I really think Hunter Biden isn't fit to be president. Nobody with pending federal charges should be, am I right guys?
