the host describes Xitter as being turned into a right-wing propaganda piece, as if it wasn't just a free and open debate- something lacking until then.
to be fair, all platforms as long as they remain open and aren't censored eventually become rightwing. That's why the left has to censor shit, their ""ideas"" would die if they don't.
 
Tesla has sold 5M+ cars. Ford sells <200k per month. No idea how you say one month of ford sales matches the lifetime of Tesla sales. Tesla also has higher net income on lower revenue, and EPS is better.

Regardless of how off the Ford comparison was, Tesla's P/E ratio is crazy. It peaked at over 1,000 a few years ago and has since been hovering around 50. Toyota's is around 10. Ford's tends to bounce around 7. I know P/E ratio isn't everything, spare me the lecture, but it's a pretty good indication of what kind of growth a company is expected to achieve. Because if the company isn't going to grow like a rocket, I can buy a share of profit for cheaper elsewhere.

As of a while ago, Tesla hasn't had the profits or the growth to justify a trillion-dollar valuation, which exploded after some incredible promises in 2020 (around the time of the "financially insane not to buy a Tesla" speech) that just haven't panned out. So this idea that libs are colluding to force down the stock price is ridiculous. Reality is just catching up to them, and investors who initially hoped robotaxis and appreciating cars would 10x Tesla's revenue are now engaging in wishcasting and sunk cost thinking to justify why they weren't getting gypped when they bought at $300 a share, and if they HODL for long enough, Tesla will moon at $1000 a share...any day now. At least they've got something, unlike everyone who was promised a free Roadster 2 under the referral program.
 
A huge chunk of zoomers have really think the planet is dying and have become so anxious of this manufactured issue. For a few dates Ive been on, Ive been seriously asked where I will live when my state goes underwater, had explained to me the importance of choosing paper straws and how all trucks are inherently evil. This generation has had the joy sucked out of everything.
The doomsday cultism hit them hard. Climate change is a big one. Look through “science” channels or even basic tests, and you see propaganda about it. Like questions based on essays slanted towards it, and you have to play along to get the right answers. Watch videos they (and Millennials) make, especially long-form essays, and you’ll see some variant of “the planet is dying.” I think much of it is downstream from older generations, but they’ve internalized that the world is ending and nothing they do matters.
 
CNN: As a transgender person, have you been impacted by Trump’s executive orders? We want to hear from you (Lite) (archive)

Transgender people and their families are feeling the effects of President Donald Trump’s series of executive orders.

An order restricting gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth has some families concerned. Trans women have been banned from competing in most women’s sports. And, the Pentagon plans to discharge transgender military members and recruits.

These are the latest measures taken by the Trump administration, which come as the president seeks to target transgender people through executive action, some of which are already facing legal challenges.

Are you a transgender person who has been impacted by Trump’s executive orders? Or, has someone in your family been affected? Whether you’re seeking care for a transgender child or you have been affected personally, we want to hear your story.

Global warming, nah man i prefer global cooling.
 
As a friendly reminder: Biden allegedly only signed one thing in office, and that was his "I'm not running for a second term" statement. If this is true, it not only validates the existence of a Deep State, but throws Biden's entire term into question. The implications are far-reaching. Yet nobody seems interested.
Because there's zero chance of anything coming of it. There is no legal remedy for hiding an incapacitated president for an entire presidential term and no court would even consider touching it.

They love to call it climate change because it covers all bases. Colder this year? Climate change. Hottest summer on record? Climate change. Dryness is climate change, storms are climate change, anything to keep you from noticing the preachers flying around on private jets. I’m not going to talk about depopulation conspiracies but there’s definitely a push towards neo-feudalism at the very least.
 
Its not hidden everyone knows it's happening. The people who tried to dismantle it were broken by the level of atrocity they had to commit to even have a chance to stop it.

If Trump handed you the list of pedofiles and told you that you were fully authorized to kill them all how many could YOU personally kill? What if the list was 2 BILLION people?

How to you go about ripping them away from them families without causing additional mental or physical trauma to them. The mans daughter is handcuffed to him crying begging you not to kill her daddy.

Are you going to dismantle their Deadman switch or let it explode?

What if it's 97% of surgeons? Do you wait for new ones to train?

There is a million questions and no matter how you play it you will end up an evil broken man.
some people are born to be murderers. and would enjoy the complaints you bring up. the issue is mass killing at once, thats what dragged the einsatzgruppen down. too many people to kill at 1 time led to sloppy kills and agonizing deaths. 1 a day would ensure a quick death and guilt free conscience.
