Once EVs become cheaper to buy than ICEs, we will see consumers switch. The only other way is banning ICEs, which no US leader will do because then logistics will crumble. EV trucks are much further off than cars.
You have to make the batteries cheap and good range. Lol lmao. A ICE car is a hunk of steel and plastic. It's not complicated in terms of resources. You don't need lithium and shit.
 
Trump making a lot of headway in the Middle East right now:

**NBC**
> Iran is ready to sign a nuclear deal with certain conditions with President Donald Trump in exchange for lifting economic sanctions, a top advisor to Iran’s supreme leader told NBC News on Wednesday.
>
> Ali Shamkhani, a top political, military and nuclear advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is one of the most senior Iranian officials to speak publicly about the ongoing discussions.
> He said Iran would commit to never making nuclear weapons, getting rid of its stockpiles of highly-enriched Uranium which can be weaponized, agree to only enrich Uranium to the lower levels needed for civilian use, and allow international inspectors to supervise the process, in exchange for the immediate lifting of all economic sanctions on Iran.
>
> Asked if Iran would agree to sign an agreement today if those conditions were met, Shamkhani said, “Yes.”
>
> His comments appear to be the clearest public statement yet on Iran’s expectations and willingness to reach a deal from the supreme leader’s inner circle. Iran’s supreme leader has the final say on all matters of national security.
>
> “It’s still possible. If the Americans act as they say, for sure we can have better relations,” Shamkhani said, adding, “it can lead to a better situation in the near future.”

"Trump is gonna bomb Iran"
"There wont be talk"
"There wont negotiations"
"The negotiations are gonna fail after 1 day"
"A deal won't happen" <- You are here
"The deal won't be JCPOA 2.0"
 
This kind of double-standard and absolvence of responsibility is why feminism was allowed to propagate and ruin modern women, it's why they can even kill babies and celebrate it. Nobody should have sex with minors, least of all women who should be nurturers and caretakers, so it's actually worse when they do it, if anything, because they're behaving in an especially disordered manner. Why you feel the need to simp to this degree is unfathomable.
I do not disagree, except with your point that because women ought to be nurturers and caretakers, they should be held responsible. Women should not hold any actual responsibility in society nor should they truly be held accountable for their actions, because they are insane. I was really just arguing that an adult woman can't do as much long-term damage to a teenage male as an adult man could do to a teenage girl.

Either way, excluding the mother, women should not have power over men in any circumstance. This way they would not have to be held accountable for their decisions as their insane decisions would not carry any weight. Outside of being smacked with an open hand when they transgress badly, as is natural and described very well by Sean Connery (sometimes you just gotta).

Lovely, but archive and link you mong.
Let's not pretend that Iran is trustworthy enough to hold any nuclear deal without extensive oversight.
I think Iran might cave to these demands if only to maintain the regime. Obama's nuclear deal destabilized Iran by giving them money to fund foreign boondoggles that pissed off all their neighbors. I don't know if that was Obama's plan or if he really did think playing nice would work, but Iran has isolated itself. The problem is they'll go North Korean isolationism before playing nice. Now they are stuck with the prospect of continuing on their current trajectory which may mean further isolation and an inability to contain internal revolution, or getting invaded by a legit Middle Eastern coalition led by Israel and Saudi Arabia and backed by the US (which is what Trump somehow managed to form, which even surprises me to be totally honest). Iran could try to stall, but they're already stalling economically and diplomatically, not to mention Russia isn't helping them as much due to the Ukraine War. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Man, yesterday was all Trump wins, today is all Dems losses.

Impeachment, post-poned.

California even more indebt than ever.

EOs permitted.

Judge trying to get judicial immunity...But i was just told NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!!

Hodge, dethroned in record time (but for the stupidest of reasons)

Party in ruins.

2026 is coming fast, which way democrat tran?
Democrats are fucked. It's the GOP's ball to drop at this point.
 
So if that loony left of the 1960s and 1970s had "smartphones" and "social media" back then, it could've been Current Year Clown World even back then, instead of such really taking off after the Occupy movement failed? I get the impression that loony leftism still wasn't nearly as influential as "social justice" got after the "GamerGate" circus.
Perhaps DARPA was a mistake.

As long as Vance can stay on the good side of Trump and stay the heir apparent, i am confident they can keep from reverting to their previous addicted-to-losing ways.
 
Obama was in a lose-lose situation when it came to crafting a good deal with Iran. He was both a libtard and a nigger. He never stood a chance, really.
Personally, I wonder if the Democrats preferred propping up the Shias and playing ball with them as Middle East regional leaders while the GOP preferred the Sunnis. To be honest, during the 2000's, Saudi and the UAE didn't look promising with all their clandestine support for Islamists. King Fahd was basically useless after his stroke and Abdullah only wanted our guns. Salman is a lot more modern. Saudi always hated groups like Al-Qaeda but they seem more cooperative with the US now.

I worry about Vance's isolationism but he is better than any other GOP prospect for 2028.
Updated the original post, my bad.
Thank you! Now if only @Catch The Rainbow would archive...
 
Today, we have correctly identified leftism as not a political stance or set of policy options, but as a religion with articles of faith, priests, heretics, and original sin.
I've been saying this for at least a decade personally. As someone who grew up in a rural part of the bible belt, leftism feels identical to how many Christians around me acted. Especially with the hypocrisy of it all. And no I am not dogging religious people, both of my parents were very devout and genuinely great people and even though I am non-religious I am glad I went to church as a kid because it shaped my moral compass.

But I say that to say this, why the fuck are leftists considered liberal? It's like words mean nothing anymore. Hardcore leftists are closed minded, absolutely hate the idea of any sort of positive change in the world, and are constantly hypocritical. They embody everything about the literal definition of conservatism. I mean shit look at how much stuff they try to get banned or cancelled. When I was a kid I remember Christians hating on Harry Potter and wanting it banned because it was satanic or some shit. Fast forward twenty years and you have leftists literally creating black lists of people who streamed Hogwarts Legacy online.

It's one of the reasons I've never been particularly doom pilled in regards to politics. Because as someone who used to be young I understand kids absolutely hate being conservative. They want to be free and speak their mind. As a result it's no surprise that more young kids these days are trending to the right because unironically MAGA is more liberal than the democrat party when we're using the actual, literal, definitions of these words.

I know it's a hyper specific thing I am bickering about here but it seriously bugs me. Leftists (and thus democrats) have not been a liberal party for over a decade at this point. They're extremely conservative, they do not want things to change.
 
The intention was to crash the plane with no survivors and allow WEF to mold the wreckage of the US into one of the many vassal states that fully enslaved it's people.
Trump winning semi permanently derailed their precious 2030 reset, thus the annoyance they had in 2016 is now full blown hate. They lost their chance to endlessly rape kids and eat steak while the serfs ate bugs and lived in communal pods under 24/7 surveillance.
Biden was the sword to gut the country, and now Trump is stitching the cut together while desperately trying to staunch the bleeding.

and they would have gotten away with it if hilary had listened to her husband about campaigning in swing states

so stop complaining about feminism, it's a strong woman not letting a man tell her what to do who saved america
 
I worry about Vance's isolationism but he is better than any other GOP prospect for 2028.
That's what I see in him that's so promising, a firebrand stopping them reverting to their neocon ways.

I still like that in signalgate he voiced his opposition to intervention even if he was resigned that it was gonna happen regardless. In private. Pretty strong moral character stuff.
 
I think it's super funny how Dems are surprise Pickachu faced everytime Trump makes a deal previously thought impossible when.

He made billions of dollars making deals

He had a hugely successful TV show revolving entirely around making deals

He literally wrote a fucking book called "The Art of Of The Deal"

Gee who would have thought this man may be highly talented at negotiating?
