I hate to say it but it’s working. First the mass-debater got “2A raptured,” this gave them the push-start they needed, now the administration is using this clown to dump the clutch and crank the starter.
Soon, the engine will fire into life again and the Epstein files will be a distant memory in the rear view mirror.

3·2 months agoKillswitch Engage’s Atonement album has some excellent tracks with RATM-esque lyrics incl Crownsless King
7·4 months agoTheoretically, let’s say, bozo the clown is sitting in a gondola floating through Venice, and someone on the rooftop above has a large steel net and at each corner is a very heavy weight.
How heavy would those weights need to be when the net is thrown over the canal, to drag the gondola and occupant to the bottom of the canal?

Right, they’ve perfected the rocket, now we just need to load Elon onto the next flight.
Belt CVTs - I’m right there with you, but take a look into the more modern geared CVTs such as Toyota e-CVT in their hybrids - I think Honda have a similar tech. It’s a planetary gear system that provides infinite gears without the rubber band feel that plagued belt CVTs and hella-reliable.
I’m a petrolhead at heart and would love more options for manuals but in lieu of that, a geared CVT is by far the next best transmission and 100x better than a traditional auto.
Even better, jump in one and take it for a drive - because there are gears, it feels more connected to the motor - almost manual-like response and no sluggish delay like a traditional auto.
You literally pick your revs by pushing the throttle more or less, they’re magic for hills or when the car is packed since you’re never waiting for revs to climb up into the power nor holding a speed because any faster and you have to change again which takes you out of the power again. If you want more power, you simply modulate that with the throttle and the revs rise instantly to accommodate.
2·8 months agoYes!! This and Fatal Racing was my entire early teens!
A real team effort if the air traffic controllers join the effort too
Exactly! That pos has the attention span of a potato. Just tell him “yes sir, all done” and he’ll forget all about it
Next time AF1 goes for a jaunt to pedo-island, the air traffic controllers that trump is insulting have an opportunity to become really American heroes…
382·9 months agoWell, if that’s how it works, every country now needs to renames the US to something else on their maps. Whoever has the best name wins something - like, the Olympics or free membership to the UN.
Suggestions now open, I’ll start: “Little Girls Blouse”
Marley and Me
Yes! DH but almost anything played straight as a change would be brilliant!
Missed a massive opportunity: the grin reaper!
Well, I’ll be damned! The republicans were right!
All it takes is a good-guy with a gun!

Even the cats maintain gaps when it’s not strictly necessary. Remember this if you ever feel awkward leaving a space at the cinema, sports event or urinal!
