Figures fracking Texans can’t figure out something as simple as a freaking roundabout.

Note: I need not worry about offending any of my friends living in Texas as they identify as Austinites not as Texans. and Austin isn’t so much a part of Texas as it is surrounded by Texas.
America is waking up. I'm gonna stop at a fucking traffic light that's my right as an American.

Nearly every EV made with an architecture above 500V will charge faster from a mere ‘150kW’ CCS charger than it will from any Tesla charger.

Despite promises a year ago that V4 systems were ‘about to happen and were just waiting on permitting’, Nothing V4 is open to the public almost a year later.

It’s telling that while dems only reference “Illegal orders”, Repugnicants automatically assume that they mean orders from Trump.

Why do they presume Illegal orders means orders originating from Trump? It’s as if they know something already about trump’s intentions…. 🧐
No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

Please watch this.

The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

You need to know this, so you can help stop it.

Note: it was dismissed _without prejudice_
People are asking ”well if the court dismisses the Comey indictment for various kinds of fuckmuppetry by the moronic and debased Trump Justice Department, the statute of limitations has run and so Comey is free, right?

It depends on the particular kind of fuckmuppetry.

This is *expressly* not the law
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?

McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.

I'd add Republicans too if I thought any of them had the courage to actually cross Trump on this.
