The crazy progressives of Massachusetts have decided they are the one who get to say how often and how far you get to drive.

They have mandated a new bureaucracy branch, a "Driving Czar", whose role is to reduce the VMT (vehicle miles travelled) to meet the already insane Net Zero 2050 goals. It's her job to make sure you use your car as little as possible by imposing new fee's and ensuring all new infrastructure projects "have a realistic plan to meet the Net Zero goals) as well as planning to introduce a "vehicle miles travelled tax" for those who drive "too much".

Of course being the rabid dystopian they are they named the bill the "Freedom to Move Act" in the usual sadistic reversal of tone.

I'd say enjoy your cars while you can, it's only a matter of time until only "necessary trips" are allowed. Necessary for the elites of course, not for you plebs.

The group would assess and report on strategies “necessary to reduce statewide vehicles miles traveled through the establishment of an equitable, interconnected, accessible and reliable network of non-personal vehicle transportation options and through land use policies that reduce the need for personal vehicles,” according to the bill.

TLDR: you will live in the pods, you will not travel and you will be happy in your urban hellscape plebs.

Blue cities and states all across the country have already been doing that for years. Tearing down roads, replacing lanes with unused bike/bus lanes or extra-wide sidewalks, banning parking for new construction, timing lights so you always hit a red, lowering speed limits to comically low speeds, speed/red light cameras, congestion charges, toll lanes, EV mandates, and countless other policies designed to make it so that only the rich can drive.
 
And he was funded by Elon. The GOP still hasn't decided to fund him and The Persistence has come out as being pro-Elon in terms of primarying RINOs.
You can still be critical of someone and support them. All Trump said was he was disappointed in Elon because he wants the BBB to get passed with a lot of things to get immigration under control and promises he made on the campaign trail, yet deficit hawks are sperging out when they have control of the chamber just to grandstand and get nothing done.

If Elon and the Persistence want to elect all the RINOs out, I'm more than happy for them to do that (hopefully they follow through). But saying that Trump is "compromised" is retarded, and Fatpacks level blackpilling.
 
Trump killed Soleimani and their best response were ineffective missile launches at US bases. Israel bombed an Iranian embassy in Syria and killed Haniyeh in the middle of Tehran in a protected area, that led to True Promise 1/2 which were Iranian missile attacks on Israel that were largely ineffective. Israel then destroyed Iranian air defenses which Iran didn't respond to at all, only promising that True Promise 3 would happen "at a time and place of their choosing."

The Iranians are fundamentally cowards and their technology mostly sucks. No other nation will intercede on their behalf either, Russia is too busy and China regards Iran as a pain in the ass. Once you factor in that Iran is going through strikes, a drought, and an energy crisis, it's questionable what their response will be at all.
Do you even read your own words? How can someone who just typed all that say in the very next breath "but Iran will have nukes in a couple weeks and then those incompetent inbred halfwits will nuke us with that cutting edge tech they somehow pulled out of their asses 5 minutes ago!"
 
LOL the meatballs are out to defend Elon as Trump says it like it is. The worst thing of modern life is the inability to just disagree without tard raging. Autists need a kick in the ass every now and then.
The "whatever" in his Xitter post screams spoiled teenage girl denied her spending money for the mall.
He's flailing.

Iran has been two weeks away from an atom bomb for 45 years.

When he sides the people that are hindering over the voters i'd say 'compromised' fits. He is now pro ukraine and i bet you when the ukraine aid bill gets passed in a day he will sign it. We are seeing the same playbook from 2016 play out and he is too stupid to see it.
 
Trump is shitting on Elon for turning on him to protect his EV credits.
Tesla's haven't been eligible for EV credits for years.

EV manufacturers are only eligible for the tax credits for the first X number of cars sold (I forget the number but it's several years worth). Tesla was the first to market and benefited greatly from the tax credits. However all the new startup-competitors are eligible and that puts Tesla at a big disadvantage since they aren't. That's why Musk has been criticizing them, he needs to pull up that ladder.

Trump misspoke, Elon was mad about the solar credits going away because solar panels are completely unviable without subsidies.
 
Let's say Iran did successfully develop a nuclear bomb today, so what? When North Korea got nukes nothing happened. When India and Pakistan got nukes nothing also happened (even though I wish they'd obliterate each other). What realistically bad thing could happen if Iran got the bomb? What possible scenario would they actually use it and no rattle swords again?
Iran is run by suicidal Shia clerics who actively sponsor terrorists. The worst possible scenario is that they give these weapons to their associates. They have already done something similar with the houthi.
The biggest problem with 20 more years in the sand pit is that eventually we're going to mass import them as refugees like all the other sand nigger countries we bombed out.
>Quick. These muslims evil and want you dead goyim.
>Oy vey goyim. You are racist and islamophobic if you don't want these poor Iranian refugees in your country.
No because Iran has a replacement government already, the Shah is still popular. Iraq had the problem of no ready made replacement government.

China probably has nukes and I don't see them trying to nuke Taiwan.
Why would they nuke their own island?

it's been nearly 50 years since the hostage crisis. It's time to move on.
Iranian sponsored houthis were shooting at American ships with iranian weapons this year.

nuclear weapons are not cutting edge, what are you talking about? It's not that hard to build a nuclear weapon, especially when Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan already gave Iran the instructions on how to do it. The only problem is getting uranium that is rich enough to weaponize.

Iran has been two weeks away from an atom bomb for 45 years.
because Israel and the US have been sabotaging it for that long and now they ran out of runway
 
Israel killed Americans during the USA Liberty attack, apologized for it, and paid reparations. Hezbollah blew up a barracks full of marines and the Iranians trained Iraqi militias on how to build/place IEDs to kill American soldiers. Are you able to tell the difference?
Yes dumbass, the entire point of me posting that screed about Israel was to point out the fallacy in your argument about Iran. Israel also funded and propped up Hamas when it suited them so spare me the crocodile tears.

I get that you have a blind spot with Israel and I get why you're defensive of it, but it's not good for you to shut off your critical thinking on a subject. I actually like you as a poster.
 
@quaawaa post with the EO

According to the Overstay Report, Chad had a B‑1/B-2 visa overstay rate of 49.54 percent and an F, M, and J visa overstay rate of 55.64 percent. According to the Fiscal Year 2022 Overstay Report, Chad had a B-1/B-2 visa overstay rate of 37.12 percent. The high visa overstay rate for 2022 and 2023 is unacceptable and indicates a blatant disregard for United States immigration laws.
Why does Chad have a higher visa overstay than everyone except Eritrea and Equatorial New Guinea? Would love to know why Chad (and the other two countries) have such a higher overstay than the other sand pits.

This shit is why this faggot should never have been a part of the government. He should stick to ruining Twitter (again) while he pays more competent people to run his other businesses.

The country of Chad has the highest fertility rate in the world and is experiencing a population explosion.

I am not kidding. Chad is having the most kids.
