[“Five-minute EV charging, while ambitious, is being actively developed by companies like BYD and CATL. BYD's "Super e-Platform" promises 400 km of range in 5 minutes. CATL, with its battery technology, aims for even greater range gains in the same timeframe. This is achieved through megawatt charging and advanced battery chemistry.”  This will completely change the EV landscape.  I wonder why it’s not getting more press.  gjr]

    Let me ask you the same question fish:
    Is is it a crime that deserves the punishment of being sent to a foreign internment facility without a trial for an indefinite period of time and leaving your children and family behind and making it impossible for them to even see you? That’s what our cruel government is doing to decent human beings. Do you support that Gregory? Trump is truly evil to sponsor this and it’s a dark moment in our history.

    Let me ask you the same question fish:

    Don’t bother you useless piece of shit! Your side broke the loose equilibrium that had existing for years when you threw the doors open for 15 million unvetted from god knows who and god knows where. Nary a peep about the victims of crimes resulting from this nakedly political act by the Brainstem Administration.
    You have no one to blame but your self for the unfortunate womans deportation.

    Here let me help you with that memory hole oh great ponytail of ignorance –
    US deported more than 3M people during Obama presidency. Most did not have chance to plead case in courtAccording to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data from fiscal years 2009 to 2016, more than 3 million individuals were formally removed from the country during the Obama administration. Annually, between 58% and 84% of these removals were so-called “summary removals” carried out through legal procedures such as “expedited removal” and “reinstatement of removal,” which do not involve a hearing before an immigration judge. On average, about 74% of removals during this period fell into these categories.

    According to tne Conservatice Cato Institute Trump failed to reduce illegal immigration in his four years.
    “President Trump also entered the White House with the goal of eliminating illegal immigration but Trump oversaw a virtual collapse in interior immigration enforcement and the stabilization of the illegal immigrant population. Thus, Trump succeeded in reduce legal immigration and failed to eliminate illegal immigration.”

    It appears that Justice Ketanji Jackson has become the poster child for the slow-class that she is. Justice Barrett took her to the wood-shed (do we still have those anywhere?) with the Court’s pronouncements yesterday.
    “Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive, while embracing an imperial Judiciary.”
    Amy also quickly dismissed Jackson’s argument for upholding nation-wide injunctions against Trump’s EOs as being at odds with two (count ’em) two centuries of precedent AND with the Constitution. You know, that living document of suggestions.
    Was that an unfair cat-fight or what? And the 3 liberals on the court all stuck together.

    Here’s another Trump lie. He just can’t help it. What a liar, you can’t believe a word he says.
    “Well, thank you, Daniel. The question is about prices. Prices are going down, not going up. One of the big things is energy is going down. I see that we had a couple of states where gasoline was at $1.98 a gallon. Nobody thought they’d see that for years maybe. And that’s a big thing. And we opened up our wells, we opened up our drilling.”
    There is NO documentation that this is true. I invite RR’s to prove otherwise.

    Trump being a chronic liar could be the result of one of three things. One is that he knows it’s a lie and doesn’t care because his followers believe every word he says. Another is that he is ignorant of the truth and a third is that he is delusional which is a form of mental illness. Which is it readers?

    “I see that we had a couple of states where gasoline was at $1.98 a gallon.”
    The operative word here is “was”.
    He didn’t say it was 1.98 right at the moment he spoke. But Paul can’t read.
    Here’s what is important:
    “Adjusted for inflation, gas prices are near the lowest levels we’ve seen in the last 20 years, De Haan says.”
    “Year over year, the price of gas is down 12%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ most recent Consumer Price Index report released earlier in June.”
    Prices are lower – Trump is telling the truth.

    Well technically I’m admitting that you have something in common with Trump. If you say it’s that you are both liars well….who am I to argue with that! And hey…..because you’re an admitted liar you also have that in common with Biden as well….so you got that going for you which is nice!
