Europeans cars don’t even have air conditioning. The US forced them to raise the bar. They have problems with providing basic needs like water, heat, and AC for their citizens. Comparing Europe as better than the Us is an insult. The EU is placing bugs as a main ingredient in their food supply. They had talks recently in Germany about pedophilia becoming legalized as a preference. Don’t ever compare us to them |
I don't think Elon is the canary in the coal mine that you think he is. He is an opportunist who saw a weak Target and went after it. There is no way Kamala would have been in elon's back pocket doing what he wants and giving him basically the vice presidency but he opened up his pocketbook to Trump and Trump needed that and so now Elon basically owns him |
Or Elon has stuff on Trump that Trump honestly thinks would drive his voters away so he is beholden to him. Either way he's elon's a little biatch |
It is on topic. The Democrat pipeline of talent is so bad because they have alienated half the electorate or Me Too’d all their straight male politicians. |
It has to be because the response makes no sense in this context. It’s just topic spam. |
??? Yeah, no. Your response here is even more incoherent. |
Is he Elon’s little b when he says battery operated cars are weak and can’t run far? Trump inspires those with opposite opinions and interests to respect him because he is honest. If he were a mealy mouthed Democrat who said empty platitudes and word salads like Kamala, who exactly would he inspire? The NATO sec. general Stoltenberg, who is not a fan of Trumps anti NATO talk, said he never saw anyone with a force of personality and mandate like Trump. Once Trump threatened to pull out, Germany and all these counties started miraculously pouring billions into NATO for their defense. |
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is impressive. He struck a very moderate position on immigration and generally seems very reasonable and capable:

Silicon Valley is weird but Silicon Valley is single-handedly propping up the economic engine of the US these days. And yes, that is a problem, but it’s not solved by running away from Silicon Valley and investing in obsolete technology that will put us even more behind and dependent on China. |
We will see. Here is a recent interview: https://denverite.com/2024/11/20/denver-immigration-policies-donald-trump/ In my view some of this is reasoned and logical, and some is tone-deaf. |
Trying to isolate outcomes or presidential elections from the personalities that contest them is a fool’s errand. Kamala didn’t run a bad campaign (although it wasn’t great either - going AWOL after the debate was really dumb) but she was severely handicapped by baggage that alienated her with both progressives and moderates and her lack of charisma. With a normal runway, a candidate with less baggage and more charisma (not Walz, who proved to be a one trick pony) probably would have won. And the polls leading in to the election generally bore that out. Likewise, it’s not clear whether the likes of Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, or Ron DeSantis would have prevailed. Trump is a literal cult of personality and has an almost inexplicable appeal to a large segment of the electorate. There is no guarantee those other candidates would have won working class voters as he did. |
The left has no idea how much poorer Europeans are to the US. Indeed, they don't understand that the poor states like Mississippi compare reasonably with a nation like Germany. |
What do we think of? Brian schatz |
Exactly. |
It's telling when you have to skip over governors and senators, then congressmen, generals and sr cabinet officials, mayors of large cities, until you get to the mayor of Denver. So basically the 400th most powerful Democrat in the country. Mayor Pete is basically at the same level since Sec of Transportation is not a resume builder for Potus. |
