I just love that her used the exact words I would use with regard to the "anti-woke briar"

tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

John Stewart sums up my reaction. Every one of them that voted for this needs to be primaried for people who will actually do what needs to be done.
Guess what morons, no one was blaming you for the shutdown. But now that you've put people through this for nothing....you're gonna get flack for it.

This issue is more nefarious than it seems. The EPA emissions rules are more lenient for vehicles classified as light trucks. So instead of refitting their lines to meet the requirements, auto makers started pushing their trucks as every day vehicles today they make up 80% of new vehicle sales.
