Not sure about the towing part (nor do I care), but it definitely seems like #3 was entirely caused by the dealers getting greedy and causing #2 with their insane markups. But I can get an extended range Lariat for right around $60k right now. That's $10k less than the ICE model.

Go check out Car & Driver or MotorTrend or Consumer Reports reviews…. Several on YouTube as well. There is no resale data on any used EV’s cause nobody knows what they’re actually worth! ANY running used ICE PU will bring a decent amount of cash while an EV could be worthless re battery life. Meanwhile, I’ve an ‘02 Tacoma w/155k miles that is easily worth $5-$8K all day long. Today you’re rolling the dice on any EV. Not even makers can tell you what resale should be.

Sigh. I don’t suppose it will matter to anyone that this statement is not true.

Which statement? He made several. We know the gov was funding NGOs that were aiding and abetting illegal immigrants. We also know connected people were getting huge grants without doing a lot of good works with the cash.

Zelenskyy Says He’ll Sign Minerals Deal And Urges US To ‘Stand More Firmly’ For Ukraine After Oval Office Clash

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy posted a lengthy thread on X Saturday, stating he would sign the minerals deal, but said the Ukrainian people “need to know that America is on our side.”

Trumps a business man. He want those rare earth minerals to help pay the debt. He wants a USA Equity Fund.

How much aid have we given them?

You can spout all the mainstream rhetoric you want but I prefer dollars and cents. Let’s just compare aid we’ve provided to Russia vs elsewhere

Somebody ask Israel what a high tech war costs. Three billion is nothing. In fact it fixes a pretty low limit on England’s contribution, which I think was Starmers plan. But let’s say this is a low tech war. Estimated that they received $160-170 billion of military aid over the past three years. So do the math.

Ukraine has lost almost half of all its sea ports (9) on the Black Sea, and what they have not lost are closed. They are smaller than Texas for those that don’t know what a geography class is. This is foolish, they may/will never get them back.

He wants to stop the war, upon terms that he negotiates with Putin. Ukraine considers those terms a loss. Ukraine may have to accept it because we are financing them. But there’s a way to do this without joining Team Russia.

Trump has joined our Nation with Russia and abandoned our Allies in Europe … if you deny that you either can’t understand reality or simply refuse to.

The Russia Hoax Part 2 The Beginning

I don’t know how an audit will turn out, but I def know that Musk will post on Twitter some crazy nonsense that will be fact-checked and corrected with way less fanfare.

USAID is propping up Politico!!!!
We’ve found $55B in waste!!!!
We have found any fraud!!!

None ended up being true but people, for some reason, are believing what he posts.

In the next budget, USAid will only be funded for humanitarian reasons, so Sen Whitehouse’s boondoggle won’t be. Neither will Endeavor or whatever its name is in San Antonio, nor the fine entertainment from Peru to Dublin. Or Stacy for that matter. At the rate they are going to be half a million employees lighter. Medicaid fraud, SS fraud,Medicare fraud is maybe not rampant, but significant. Give them some time. It’s only been 6 weeks, and you’re likely to see many many more

Edit: No Ukraine cost.
