Opinion | Anti-Gay? Anti-Science? Antisemitic? Run for Governor of North Carolina! – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
What more can you expect from the state that gave us Jesse Helms, Barney Fyfe, John Edwards, and Madison Cawthorne?
Your story is behind a pay wall.
An excerpt below. Paywalls are indeed annoying, but media outlets that actually do the work that feeds social media or blogs need some type of revenue. Guessing you could read the link at the end of the Paul Pelosi paragraph without a paywall.
Thanks. I’m all in favor of the desire to seek out revenue. But most everybody, and his sister/brother, has a paywall now. One can’t subscribe to them all and stay personally solvent..
I get the solvency thing. A lot of outlets allow some number of free stories before they cut you off.
I might like to see news subscriptions where a reasonable fee gets you access to a package of outlets, but have no clue how the numbers would work for the news outlets. For now, I pay for a few online subscriptions and honestly get much more stuff than I can read.
Buy a Tesla, save the environment, enjoy a long day in Bakersfield, CA
(yes I own a Tesla)
OMG! All those idling Teslas spewing polutants! 😉
I've heard Las Vegas is even worse. Just wait until they open up the Superchargers to all the CCS EVs!
Which Tesla did you get?
A model 3. Love it.
We charge our VW ID.4 in our garage for 5¢/mile.
We do have free charging with Electrify America, but I really don't care about free fuel as we will only drive about 2500 miles/year.
Good friends recently purchased an ID.4 and love it. I have a Ford Lightning (with long-range batteries) on order and a fast plug installed in my garage. Looking forward to having an electric vehicle in the barn.
The long delivery times are going to be with us for at least another year or two as manufacturers ramp up factory capacity. I'm still waiting for delivery of my wife's Model Y, which, fingers-crossed, should arrive next month (no guarantees). I'm fortunate that both of ours will share the same fast charging plug in our garage.
But it'll be worth it as EVs with 500,000 mile drivetrains and low operating costs will provide massive savings to owners. Our cars have a lot more miles in them than we do!
It will also force a complete transformation in the automotive market, particularly for dealers. I can foresee the majority of the transportation market leaving car ownership behind, with people subscribing from a menu of personal transportation services — from dedicated vehicles to a spectrum of shared, on demand, vehicles.
I don't think I'd ever buy a fully autonomous vehicle, but I hope one day to use them regularly for everyday needs.
Ive only used a public charging station for the novelty. I don't think the claim that the infrastructure isn't there is correct just in the fact every house has electricity.
My wife and I drove my Model 3 to Chicago and back, and then to San Diego and back. The only pain was that our house in San Diego didn't have a charger so every 4 days or so we had to go charge somewhere.
I am starting to wonder if it is too early for the pool on whether "George Santos" disappears one night and never shows up in the U.S.A. until extradited? DOJ has open criminal investigation going on into something.
He has painted himself into such a corner, I would bet (if I had any money) on it being more likely he commit suicide and try to make it look like a mob hit or something. Maybe he'll visit Moscow and
jumpfall out a window.Whoever is backing him (Putin?) isn't going to put up with someone so incompetent for very long. THEIR secrets will be revealed. George should stay away from windows and a few other things.
He has to cross a street sooner or later…
I don't think he's the tool of someone major. I think he's a low-level grifter that lucked into winning the seat. And is going to learn that winning was the worst thing that can happen to him.
Sort of like the movie The Producers (original was better).
But where did his hundreds of 1,000's of dollars come from?
There are plenty of rich GOPers who were willing to back him since he was taking a previously Dem. seat. Don’t both them with details of his past.
I agree with David’s assessment
He stole it from the pyramid scheme he worked on.
just a quick thought….we are looking in the wrong direction when it comes to Santos…look at china…while we are distracted by daily attacks on our democracy, they snuck this guy in under all of the radars of both parties, and a corrupt media…imagine that…
The Manchurian candidate? Literally.
Bad news on the anti-trust front. From BIG:
Buck was doing good work on the anti-trust front.
I have a question for the assembled political junkies here…
What has been, to the degree it is possible to pick, McCarthys’ biggest mistake, so far?
I think the unleashing of Margie Greene must be one of his most boneheaded choices. Once she cements the power he has given her, she will bite off his head.
Empty G does have that “ Praying Mantis” vibe. Fun fact: During mating, if the lemale mantis bites off the male mantis’ head, he has a spare, smaller brain in his tail section.
if McCarthy is similarly equipped, it may explain his subsequent decisions after giving EmptyG everything she wanted.
To answer your first question, though, I think that seating George Santos is going to bite MyKevin in the ass, big time.
Empty G is a mean girl. That's all she is. I expect that's all she's ever been.
I remember listening to her speak when she was campaigning for the first time, or had just gotten elected…don't recall which.
She was ranting about why she ran for Congress, saying she was angry because "they" wouldn't listen to her and she was going to get in a place where they would HAVE to listen to her.
This is going to get even crazier.
Qev's biggest mistake thus far was seeking the speakership in the first place. No room for debate on that point. The pot of gold at the end of that rainbow is two years of herding psychotic, wet-brained cats. What a dumbass.
Number 2 has to be hitching his wagon to Mad Madge's star.
You have a colorful menagerie, what with the psychotic, wet-brained cats and the fondly remembered “ Trumpanzee pants-hooters”. Keep em coming, Gemghis!
