    Down goes Jordan. Wonder third candidate the charm next week?

    As for Rep Buck, any recourse against his district office landlord?

  5. 5

    Why Jordan wouldn’t get elected speaker no matter how many votes they took:

    “IN THE MEETING yesterday between JIM JORDAN and hold outs, close Jordan ally WARREN DAVIDSON said it’s not Team Jordan’s fault that holdouts are getting death threats. They are getting the death threats, he said, because they voted against Jordan.”

    https://tinyurl.com/3ss7dhvp

    Two weeks ago Republicans reportedly almost got into fist fights, and that was before the death threats. And then Davidson didn’t just burn Jordan’s bridges; he dynamited them.

    It shall be written that it was the GQP shitshow of this last week that broke the dumbfuck.

    I say this because the dude sounds white. He’s from Wallingford, which is predominantly white and The FuckHump land, and the first and last name sound a bit honkeyish to me.

    Oh well. This is what happens when you play games and have a gun.

    Reading further – article says he is white! Good sleuth work on my part. Oh well, whitey will not be voting in the upcoming election.

    @6. There has to be voter fraud. Trump and the republicans didn’t win. It impossible that Americans(TM) rejected conservative polices and politicians. Therefore it had to be rigged. Any form of lying, cheating or violence is now justified since elections don’t work. – Every conservative voter.

    Republicans continue effort to erode US child labor rules despite teen deaths
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death
    We know for a fact that child labor and slavery will naturally occur without regulations because of the way capitalism and greed work. An absolutely free market will choose to push the margins of desperation as far as they can go.
    I feel this is the key phrase “the exploitation of migrant child labor”. Politicians don’t lose votes or donations if migrant or poor children die

    5, 7,

    Remember that every single one of these idiots will be at the GOP nominating convention next summer, most in organizational and leadership roles, making rules and setting the agenda.

    Then account for the plain fact that it is the default hope of every Republican seeking to move beyond the current state of disagreement and conflict within the party for “anyone but Trump” to somehow miraculously surge in the polls, catch fire with Republican primary voters, and go into the convention ready to defeat Trump’s sizable machine.

    Even if you credit the ludicrous faith that GOP primary voters would eventually shift away from Trump, it still leaves them facing a contested nominating convention dominated by people like Gym Jordan and his supporters. The “best hope” that “moderate” “intellectually conservative” Republicans currently have for a party transformation lies in a convention bloodbath. And their preferred outcome would leave a somehow repudiated Trump emerging from that convention bloodbath running an independent general election campaign.

    Through years of weakness and cowardice they let it all go too far. There is no “post Trump” Republican Party that isn’t a smoking ruin. What America is witnessing in the House GOP is just a mild preview.

    Gay people are not out killing human beings like the Straights. It’s a fact. And there’s no question about how Straights are more violent than gay people.

    Yes, it’s too bad G-clown, that you bought your condo in Delaware instead of in Gaza.

    Although I hear that, very briefly, you would have a lovely view from the roof of your Gaza dwelling. Just before your first floor condo neighbors are treated to a lovely view of your grey matter.

    You mean shortly after James closed the sale a vacation home for $1.5m in February he paid Joe back?

    Dumbfuck, it’s not a condo.

    If you can assume that and be wrong, why would anyone ever believe what you say has any credibility. Always so sure of yourself. Always speaking as if you are the most knoweledgable.

    But you are the least of all those things. And it bothers you that you are of the violent hetero type, that have close freinds such as Hamas, ISIS, and all the other fuckwads.

    Congressman Ken Buck, a Republican from Weld County, says his office in Windsor will soon be forced to move after receiving an eviction notice. Buck, a longtime resident of Weld County, received an eviction notice from his Water Valley office space.

    A spokesperson for Buck said the eviction notice was given as a result of Buck’s refusal to vote for Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

    If Tesla is “not doing well”, how does one describe:

    Rivian
    Lucid
    Ford EVs
    GM EVs

    ?

    Just curious. Tesla’s profit margin is 11.21%. Ford will lose $4.6B on EVs this year. Rivian loses $33,000 per vehicle sold.

    @29. Your argument sucks so you move the goal posts. I posted specifically on the butt ugly truck thing. That abomination is part of the reason Tesla is weak. You had to expand and compare to find a silver lining for Tesla.
    It’s totally on brand for a lying conservative. Can’t get anything on President Biden so your tribe moves the goal posts and try to use his son to make Biden seem 1% as bad as trump

    @ 34

    I posted specifically on the butt ugly truck thing. That abomination is part of the reason Tesla is weak. You had to expand and compare to find a silver lining for Tesla.

    Lessee….. silver lining for Tesla and its Cybertruck……

    How about the waiting list for it?

    Tesla Cybertruck Reservations Reportedly Reach 2 Million
    A crowdsourced reservation tracker that’s not affiliated with Tesla did some clever math to come up with the total number.

    As per the publicly available that also lists over 47,000 self-reported reservations, Tesla has received an estimated 2 million pre-orders for its first-ever pickup truck, with most of the prospective customers going for the dual-motor and tri-motor versions, while the single-motor and quad-motor versions have less than 10 percent each in the grand scheme of things. Almost 70 percent of those who plan on getting a Cybertruck also have a Full Self-Driving (FSD) purchase in mind, as revealed by the document.
    …
    It’s worth noting that the numbers aren’t exact, with the authors of the spreadsheet saying that there’s some clever math going on behind the scenes to come up with the results, adding that several corrections have been made over time.

    Furthermore, it’s interesting to note that even with a rather small $100 refundable deposit, Tesla managed to rake in a massive $200 million from pre-orders for the Cybertruck alone, allowing it to invest the money into the pickup’s development – if the numbers prove to be correct, that is.

    Moreover, it’s expected that not all reservation holders will follow through with an order after the first units of the Cybertruck are delivered, but even if 80 percent of the pre-orders are canceled, that would still leave Tesla with 400,000 customers.

    400,000 orders for the Tesla Cybertruck.

    The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, you decide that a single Reddit thread means Tesla’s “weak”. You have no idea that a waiting list for a truck you find to be an abomination is probably hundreds of thousands of customers long. You don’t, do you?

    The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, a walking, talking embarrassment to homosexuals everywhere.

    Seven-Star General And Admiral Of The Ten Oceans Mike Pence, military genius, unveils his Vietnam strategy for getting the hostages back.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4268476-pence-says-he-would-have-had-boots-on-the-ground-in-gaza-if-president/

    Pence should have a sit-down with this guy. Meantime, you can beat there’s Delta Force and SEAL teams aboard the ships Biden just sent to the area, on standby in case there’s any opportunity to use them for U.S. hostage rescue. In other words, “Way ahead of you, Mike.” But Biden won’t blindly rush in where fools like Pence would tread.

    So am I.

    JORDAN: Explain this check.

    J.B.: My brother lent me $200,000 and I paid him back.

    JORDAN: Where did you get the money?

    J.B.: I robbed a bank.

    JORDAN: What did your brother do with the check?

    J.B.: He deposited it at the bank I robbed, so everybody was made whole; he got his money back, and the bank got its money back.

    And what they’ll end up with is a really good case for impeaching James Biden, if they can find a public office he occupies.

    Someone is super Butt hurt their investment went up in flames. Tell me, how much taxpayer money was funneled into TSLA before it turned a profit?

    Electric vehicle (EV) maker Rivian Automotive Inc. (RIVN) is still losing money on every vehicle it makes, but losses have narrowed significantly as the company eyes profitability by the end of 2024.

    On Tuesday evening, the company issued its second-quarter earnings report, which showed that gross loss per unit delivered between April 1 and June 30 came out to $32,595. That’s an improvement over the first quarter’s loss of $67,329 per delivered vehicle, and a huge gain over the same period a year ago, where per-unit losses were as high as $157,600.

    Over $2T in government subsidies to build in CA and Texas. Tax breaks for development. Took 17 years for Tesla to turn a profit.

    Um, did you actually cite a made up number as a statistic to make an argument.

    It’s worth noting that the numbers aren’t exact, with the authors of the spreadsheet saying that there’s some clever math going on behind the scenes to come up with the results, adding that several corrections have been made over time.

    Sad pathetic attempt. Sorry you lost your nest egg

    Research shows Bud Light sales are weak because it’s a crappy, watered-down beer that tastes like fluoridated tap water with food coloring in it.

    And the recipe for it has not changed.

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, what is it about Bud Light that did change in 2023? Why are sales down so far and so suddenly for a product that has not changed in composition or taste?

    @35 I’ve never owned Tesla stock, maybe because I’m biased against stocks with triple-digit P/Es that need government rebates to sell their product. Even after this month’s selloff, TSLA has a P/E of 60 and pays no dividend. But fwiw, I don’t own Ford or GM either.

    Even after this month’s selloff, TSLA has a P/E of 60 and pays no dividend.

    Before Generac’s summer selloff, GNRC shares had a P/E ratio of about 60, and paid no dividend. If you think those characteristics make a stock overpriced, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, should you not have sold GNRC at that time? You’d have a 50% gain instead of being underwater on your shares if you had.

    Was looking at the proposed concept for Amtrak Cascades long range plan. Up to 13-16 round trips, some options include express runs. The track improvements, HSR advocates won’t like because it appears to continue the status quo since the 90s, incremental improvements. One idea I brainstormed but rejected isn’t in there a new shortcut between Nisqually Junction and Olympia. As much as I would like to see Yelm cease Bethesda stop for Amtrak in the state Capitol, the cost and engineering challenges would be a tough one.

    Although reducing some of the curves would be nice, since tge retirement of The TALGO 6s. We won’t be losing the speed advantage on the new trains, BNSF has said they will allow TALGO speeds with single deck rolling stock, it’s the ride quality that may be an issue. These trains won’t have Talgo’s passive tilt technology.
    At least Amtrak is carrying out its promise after the derailment of 501 that Amtrak Cascades that with this new order, Cascades goes first. Plus, ours are easy, the other sets under construction are unique for services that use part of the Empire and Northeast Corridors. The NEC will use Charger Diesel-Electric locomotives with Electric motors and Pantographs mounted in the end cars. Batteries in place of pantograph on the Empire sets.

    @53 I don’t know where the hell you get 60 from. Value Line had GNRC’s P/E at 21.7 when the stock price was $119, and Yahoo Finance puts its P/E at 40 with a stock price of $88.

    P/E, of course, is a function of earnings and stock price. Based on Value Line’s figures, EPS was $5.42 in 2022, and projected at $4.25 in 2023 and $7.00 for 2024. That gives P/E ratios of 18, 23, and 14 on my cost of $98; and 16, 21, and 12.5 on the current stock price.

    So to suggest owning GNRC is the same as owning TSLA, well, all I can say is your math appears to be off.

    @47, 55 Government is not a for-profit business. It provides services private enterprise won’t because they’re unprofitable or loss-making, but which nonetheless are deemed essential or desirable. Where’s the profit in disaster relief? Fighting wars? Conducting elections?

    Republicans want public services to pay for themselves through user fees, so they won’t have to pay any taxes, but that’s bullshit. What they really want are opportunities to dodge taxes and fees. These are the same people who drive on sidewalks to go around toll gates.

    AB InBev Profits are up on strong worldwide sales and increased pricing.

    The only people hurt by the boycott are those that own shares of the company.

    You know the capitalists.

    Why are all you Manly Maga Males communists?

    ABinBev laid off a bunch of suits living the good life in the executive suite…you know, the exploiters of labor. But not a single brewer, bottler or production worker. Way to stick it to them, morons. What remains is a robust company with less bloated waste at the top of the salary range. The Budweiser employees most likely to be ‘fiscal conservatives’ lost their jobs.

    The maker of Budweiser, Stella Artois and Corona said core profit (EBITDA) for the April-June period rose 5.0% year-on-year on a like-for-like basis to $4.91 billion, against expectations of a 0.4% increase in a company-compiled poll.

    This contrasted with Heineken (HEIN.AS), the world’s second-largest brewer, which reported worse than expected results on Monday and cut its 2023 forecast after a slowdown in Vietnam and price hikes that squeezed volumes.

    In China, AB InBev sold 11% more beer by volume and over 20% more higher-priced “premium” beers, pushing revenue and profit there above pre-pandemic levels.

    Beating expectations by 4.6% is pretty good, right?

    It’s only a matter of time before this protest fizzles out, not necessarily for Bud Light sales, but institutional investors start to remember they are far and away the worlds largest brewer and are undervalued bigly right now.

Even if doing so costs them votes, elections and donors.

    The guy would be fine if he didn’t force his opinions on others. Nobody says he can’t be Catholic or pro-life. But when he makes it part of his business, employees and customers who don’t want to be associated with his views will walk away from the business.

    Of course, by far the worst example of that is the six Catholics on the Supreme Court imposing the Church’s views on abortion on America’s non-Catholics. That’s establishment contrary to the First Amendment if you ask me.

    ▪️ “If they compare the suffering of both sides without considering who initiated it, they still serve Hamas.”

    @87 And our shared values with Israel are … what?

    Oh, that’s right, they gave in to U.S. pressure to allow a few truckloads of water, food, and medical supplies to reach the 2 million thirsty, starving, and bleeding innocent displaced civilians of Gaza.

    Look, Hamas started this with brutality beyond comprehension. They brought this on the Gaza people. I don’t blame Israel for its military response, and accept that there will be some civilian casualties. I also grasp the concept of wartime censorship. But it feels to me as though censoring the Israeli public’s bitter criticism of Netanyahu is more a political expedient than a military necessity.

    93,

    The greedy racist incel troll is pretty fucking dumb for always believing the horseshit legal theories he finds on RedState and PJ Media. I’ve lost count of all the times he’s dismissed Trump’s legal peril as “nothing burger”.

    And of course, when he isn’t pretending that none of it is real, he pretends that it isn’t “fair”.
    Which is essentially irrelevant. “Fairness” is neither a design feature of American criminal justice, nor a requirement, at least not up until sentencing.

    Those wishing to avoid consequences should refrain from fucking around.

    While being driven home from Bergdorf after raping that magazine author I spotted a car parked with its left wheels to the curb.

    It isn’t fair!

  96. 96

    @95 Depends which side the steering wheel is on. Half the world drives the other way, you know.

  100. 100

    98. Its like forced birth. They don’t care once the child is born. They don’t care once the poor or minority person is arrested or dead.

  101. 101

    Is this good riddance to the troll? If so, it’s because the troll hasn’t the courage of his convictions. Of course, rooting for fascism and the end of democracy in America is kind of a bad look.

    Or has the treasonous troll been crying in his barn all morning after looking at RCP’s Favorability Ratings and seeing that Momala has increased her lead over DeSantis?

  105. 105

    @103 DeSantis is whitewashing Jan. 6. They all are.

    Yes, it was a protest; over 10,000 noisy demonstrators weren’t arrested because they did nothing illegal, they only exercised their free speech rights. And our government, from cops to prosecutors, respected and deferred to those rights.

    But it also was a riot by protesters, spurred on by agitators, who turned violent, assaulted cops, and invaded the Capitol. Many of the rioters simply got carried away and caught up in an unplanned mob action.

    It also was a planned, organized, and executed insurrection by seditionists whose aim was to overthrow our democratically elected government that occurred in parallel with a coup plot by you-know-who and those around him. These traitors are now facing substantial legal consequences, as they should.

    Here’s what it was not: Tourists, antifa, FBI agents, BLM, people pretending to be Trumpers. And they were most certainly not patriots.

  106. 106

    105,
    It needs emphasizing that not just the gathering, or the protest, or the rioting was planned and organized.

    The criminal violence directed at the Congress and the vote count was planned and organized. This has to be fucking stated explicitly every single time, or we risk abetting their whitewashing efforts.

    They brought weapons. lots and lots of weapons.
    They organized group purchases for special knives, chemical weapons, burner phones, body armor, helmets, eye protection, and filter masks.
    They built and planted pipe bombs.
    They bought special, compact short wave radios, coordinated commmunications frequencies, and assigned individuals to be organizers and leaders of the violence.
    They transported and amassed a very large arsenal of military grade weapons and ammunition and stashed it just across the river with boats to ferry the weapons across.
    They cased the grounds and the buildings ahead of time, preparing maps and diagrams.

    While it’s true that thousands of participants never partook of any of the violence or entered the prohibited grounds or buildings, it is also true that hundreds of those attending were part of a well organized plan for violence that day the purpose of which was to interrupt and prevent the certification of the election.

    “Parading” my ass.

  107. 107

    101,

    I’m very skeptical of any suggestions that the very stupid troll has any real self awareness. That might mean it’s a bot. But it’s far more reasonable to conclude that he’s just another insufferably obtuse “conservative” white guy.

    It’s been a pretty unrelenting tsunami of humiliation and repudiation for almost seven years. If he was even capable of recognizing defeat it would have happened by now.

    It’s far more likely that something ruptured, or seized, or failed in some hopefully agonizing and prolonged way. With a tiny bit of luck whatever it is will permanently keep him away.

  109. 109

    Speaking of humiliation and repudiation….

    Comer: “Does he have documents proving he lent such a large sum of money to his brother,”

    The bank records Biden ALREADY turned over to Comer’s committee does indeed have the records of a total of $240K paid to James Biden in late 2017 and early 2018. James the wrote a check for $200K for ‘loan repayment’ almost immediately after he sold the vacation home in 2018.

    Sad.

    Homicides in the U.S. dropped significantly in 2022 and have plummeted even faster this year, putting the country on track for one of the biggest declines in killing ever recorded, crime statistics show.

    Heh.. Thanks Joe..

    More reasons to regret diving head first into Elmo’s asshole:

    “Toyota says it is close to being able to manufacture next-generation solid-state batteries at the same rate as existing batteries for electric vehicles…

    It would allow Toyota to mass-produce solid-state batteries by 2027 or 2028.”

    The planet’s largest automobile oligopoly, with over 1000 subsidiaries, who btw also builds industrial robotics, trucks, and forklifts, is poised to conservatively achieve a 30% improvement in EV battery cell efficiency, with proportional improvement in range, charge time, and production costs in five years. They expect to begin shipping production in less than three years in hybrid models

    To be sure, Toyota Automotive Group has lots of work ahead continuing to develope plug in EVs to make use of their solid state cells when they come on line. But as they have done before, Toyota could happily develop and expand this new fuel cell product by manufacturing for other makers (as well as for Toyota Automotive) through Toyota Industries.

    @107 “But it’s far more reasonable to conclude that he’s just another insufferably obtuse ‘conservative’ white guy.”

    I don’t think he’s even that. I think he’s just a little man who resents paying taxes.

    That includes reasonable taxes for essential public services like the county animal welfare officer who investigates the sexual abuse complaints from his horse.

  114. 114

    @109 Farmer Jim probably feels confident that people who don’t believe Obama’s long-form birth certificate is real won’t believe those loan records are real, either.

    In any case, his objective isn’t to educate the public, it’s to confuse as many people as much as possible. He doesn’t have to prove shit. All he has to do is manufacture suspicion.

    Also, $200,000 doesn’t equal $5,000,000; but that’s way beyond the thought process or thinking capacity of the average grassroots Republican.

  115. 115

    I really don’t understand why Trump rally attendees still talk to Jordan Klepper. You’d think they’d have heard by now he makes them look as stupid as they are.

    @112 Tesla can keep cutting prices to retain market share. But however effective that is as a marketing strategy, it’s not effective for maintaining share price.

  119. 119

    117,

    There are factory service invoices out in world charging over $13,000 for a Tesla Model 3 replacement battery. So even if their cost is $10k they lose all their profit very quickly selling against competitors whose batteries only cost $6,000, charge in half the time, go twice as far between charges, and don’t spontaneously burst into flames.

  120. 120

    @119 Well, the stock did log a 9 cent gain (0.04%) today. Doctor Dumbfuck probably celebrated by getting drunk and falling off the horse. I thought I saw him all bandaged up in the x-ray clinic today.

  121. 121

    Ding! Dong! The dumbfuck bitch is dead!

    Good riddance to our stupid, treasonous troll.
