I think Trump set the stage for normalizing this,

Oh hell no. I’ve heard politicians use that trick literally for decades.

No harm. If they want vroom vroom, they can have vroom vroom. But it’s still factually childish.

Answering a question other than the one that was asked is a common avoidance technique used by politicians. It allows then to simulate a conversation and fill the air without actually saying anything.

Paying a modicum of attention to the actual content of what a politician says and rating how relevant what they say is to the matter being discussed is a very effective way to quickly determine whether you’re watching a guy with real convictions you want to vote for or a con artist.

I don’t find Poilievre’s performance wild so much as depressingly common.

Most Ferrari drivers are racecar driver wannabes with too much money. Doing vroom-vroom noises is more important to them than actual performances. Ferrari is simply catering to its childish clientele’s desires.

The one EV I would have bought is the Kalashnikov CV-1. The fact that it was just a concept car, and from Russia, were a bit of a problem. But as square wild-looking electric cars go, I would have sprung for that one.

It takes one to know one.

I would buy one, were it not for 2 major problems:

• There’s no way it’s going to cost $20k with the Trump tariffs in place
• Slate Auto, the reportedly Jeff Bezos-backed electric vehicle startup - yeah… I’m not giving my money to fucking Bezos.

What a missed opportunity. You could distill all kinds of illicit drugs out of that pee.

All this would be swell if the Trump regime obeyed the courts.

Also, as cars designed by immature adults go, it might just look better than the real thing.

Somebody installed Signal on their phone…

Politician spews BS to avoid answering question about why one of his aides wore a stupid red MAGA hat.
Random Youtuber comments.

They’ll sell one of these for $1m, more like it, what with the tariffs and all.

Dictatorships always end badly. But it can take decades.

In the case of the US, the closest analog - the Third Reich - lasted 12 years. I’m hoping the American Reich won’t last nearly as long but I’m bracing for about a decade.

The Youtube channel is called “WGN9 News - News from Chicagoland & beyond”. So the good doctor is a Chicagoan I assume.

When this madness is over, the next administration should outlaw the Heritage Foundation somehow. They clearly have proven to be actively working against the interests of the American people.

If you complain about the price of eggs too much, Trump will deport you to El Salvador where eggs are really cheap.

Get used to standing in line: it’s video games today and food tomorrow.

It’s okay if you’re fully in control and it’s built with redundancy.

Two of the most vile human beings ever to defile the surface of the Earth duke it out and all everybody else wish is that they both go away forever.
