He definitely got that garbage truck all gussied up quick…

Him going after the guy tracking his plane makes more sense each day.

With Biden being connected to the democratic party and directly connected to Harris, any critical comments may have a chance of being flipped back towards them. The MAGA campaign is just that maliciously vindictive.

A comment like that gave Trump fodder to try to spin it like he’s the good guy, despite all of this being initiated by a comic at his rally.

Trump and his campaign have been trying to shift the blame off of them. First, with saying that the joke (just one joke?) didn’t reflect the view of the campaign. Then, Trump mentioned in an interview that the comic probably shouldn’t have been there, yet he was able to finish his set, uninterrupted. Now Trump took Biden’s (misspoken) comment and compared it with Clinton’s previous, calling the supporters “deplorable”.

I’m assuming it was a box truck with a roller door (like a garage door), and by locked, they might have meant latched. Forgetting to latch the door is a really easy mistake when in a rush or otherwise preoccupied and when the truck hits a bump, the door could easily roll up.

Well, NASA sometimes works with sensitive info and projects of which sometimes can get shared with their contractors, SpaceX included. Having Musk going through with his escapades, acting otherwise unstably, and now talking with an unfriendly figure to the US. It starts to raise some serious questions regarding national security. NASA is more or less just bringing it to attention.

Just him talking about why he doesn’t use a phone case, you can just feel the arrogant better than you additude.

Honestly, Neil D. Tyson comes off as an arrogant douchebag, same with Bill Nye.

That dog is giving off some serious FNaF vibes.

Not yet, at least.

The current tech doesn’t really factor in road conditions AFAIK. Which is a pretty big factor that dictates how brakes should be applied to stop safely.

One example is, if you’re driving along an area with a soft or no shoulder during rain or snow, stopping suddenly could easily make the car slide off the road and end up upside-down or down a cliff. There unfortunately are times where hitting someone/something is unavoidable, along with being the safest option and the decision making capability isn’t fully there yet.

I definitely agree. There really should be some sort of vetting processes in place. (An in depth psych eval would do wonders)

The biggest issue is that constitution would need to be amended to add the investigation process to the other three requirements, which could take years upon years to ever get approved. Also, going by the current trend of our political system, being denied could be seen as (or may even be) political subterfuge or gatekeeping by whichever side.

Our system, while it is working for the moment, it really does need improvements. This past eight years being the glowing proof of it.

I’ve heard it was more closer to 10 years for a TS/SCI, though it could possibly be more if the investigation finds a blip or for a high level position like a DA.

The presidency however is exempt from needing to go through the process as they were elected into it. As bad as it sounds, with the way the democracy was built and is run, everything would come to a screeching halt if all of the presidents/elected officials needed to go through a lengthy (1yr +) investigation just to have the possibility of starting their job. Instead, they are actively judged of their in/actions during their tenure and impeached (or worse) if needed.

But as you said, the investigators do not release any info and only provide an approval/denial to whomever sponsored (paid) the clearance check. Their only job is to create a profile so they can determine if the person can be trusted with privileged information and not be coerced to release it.

It’s the 2+ car lengths when at a traffic light that baffles me.

The best explanation I’ve come up with after discussing politics at length with them is that they are gaslit. Pure and simple. They just have enough gullibility to see one tiny thing that coincides with something they were taught or otherwise believe. It also explains why they are being scammed so easily on truthsocial.

Trump just has that dirty salesman skill of creating a story with just enough validity or truth and twisting everything to his favor.

Just cut them open, plenty of smugglers put bricks of product inside.

I think they are confused on thinking that any private company is a startup.

It was what was called a pocket rifle, which was one of the first types of collapsible/removable stock rifles.The one that she has in particular, was marketed so that you could put the collapsed rifle into a pocket that you would have strapped to the crossbar of your bicycle.

I put a link to a blog with the actual make/model about it further down the chain.

Using “pocket rifle” the actual one pops right up.

It’s apparently called the “New Model Pocket and Bicycle Rifle” and was made by J. Stevens Arms and Tool Co.

Trump: You think that’ll work?

Trump’s lawyer: Hypothetical excuses are bad. They can ruin the credibility of your defense. M’kay?

Trump: (to the media) If I did do it, it would have made it a smart concept, and therefore it would make me a genius.
