- Abraham LincolnGive Biden power and we get political prisoners who protested with flags, so I’d say that’s dead on.

Trump may well have been referring to a “bloodbath” in that industry. He’s sufficiently incoherent that, as is so often the case with him, it’s hard to tell one way other what exactly he’s talking about at any given moment.
I’m willing to assume for the sake of argument that he was referring to cars. And it makes no difference to his malicious intent or to the danger he and his rhetoric poses.
What matters is that he consistently uses apocalyptic and violent language in an indiscriminate fashion as a result of his psychopathy and correlative authoritarian tendencies, and because he’s just plain evil.
It’s a classic trait and technique of authoritarian demagogues. He catastrophizes *everything* to rile up his cultish supporters, and to bind them to him, and to make them willing to do his bidding.
That’s dangerous all around because he’s encouraging them to believe that conditions are so bad or will become so bad, and that the political opposition is so awful, that anything is justified—including law-breaking and violence—to prevent those conditions and to destroy the opposition.
And so it doesn’t matter what he’s specifically referring to at the moment. He could be talking about i trans people in public bathrooms or the state of the auto industry or the border—it doesn’t matter.13 -

Today’s “bloodbath” hoax has been insane. Watched it pan out in real time. Wild stuff. Thank god for X/Twitter, as it was called out and mocked immediately.
Disgusting, dishonest people taking advantage of ignorant and/or idiotic minds. Sad to see.
It's one if the rare times that multiple conservative posters stepped up in unison today & didn't let this hoax keep going. I like to see more of this.

In other news, EVs are still not ready for prime time.
What happened to MIA lib, Fat hurts? He was the biggest EV cheerleader on LR. He vanished.

I travel a lot, and I kept getting pushed into using an EV by Hertz and others. Mind you, I never actually reserved an EV. This happened last fall for a trip into the New Hampshire mountains. The moron at the rental desk wanted to give me an EV even though I had reserved a small SUV. I have no idea where charging stations are, I have no idea how long the charge will last. I'm renting a car in a state I don't live in -- why would I want to have to figure out where charging stations are? Same thing happened during a January trip into the Mojave desert. I don't have any clue where charging stations are in the desert. It's something I don't want to have to worry about.
Don't get me wrong -- I think EVs are great. But they're a terrible mismatch for people renting cars in areas they're unfamiliar with.

Wrong thread.
There is no hoax. Trump WILL deliver what he promises. He is a man of his Word, and always delivers on the steamroll. Trump will declare Havoc and let slip the Dogs of War (DOW).

Sleepy Joe is senile blotter:
...when he instantly gets hyper-focused while exhibiting angry bursts of energy during a debate or SOTU, then the next day transforms back to a state of extreme bumbling confusion, something ain't right.
You can't spin your way out this.

Are you asking us to listen to that and summarize the arguments for you? That's kind of presumptuous. We all work here and aren't inclined to chase down fly balls for some twit. Why don't YOU listen to it and tell US what it says and whether it is accurate or not? Jesus Christ.
RINOs are DONE. The GOP is no longer the party of Reagan-Bush. It is the party of MAGANs now. Complete transformation. You RINOs have no place in neo-America. You are LOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSERS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Can you say "Loooooooooooooser"?

Stop being so blatantly disingenuous. He was OBVIOUSLY talking about the auto industry, as the sentences before and after- and the paragraphs before and after- were 100% about the auto industry. STOP ACTING IGNORANT.
This is the behavior (making up fake news stories) that actually aTTaCkS tHe dEmOcRaThY that your side is always hilariously screaming about.

- Abraham LincolnI would highly disagree with the "all men can stand adversity" part.
And I highly agree with that. That was nice for Abe to say about men but it's very untrue. Overcoming suffering isn't easy in the slightest.

I guess maybe that’s not really a big deal, but it will raise crime
