He was hoping for an oversupply of duck and taters. Instead, he got a ducktater running the country

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

They would have walked on by if it had been an orange dick-tater.

Maybe it’s time for the Dems to push legislation that gives the President what he claims to want — a federal government so small it can be funded by tariffs alone, leaving the rest of America’s fiscal capacity in the hands of its subsovereign components.

NYT confirms our reporting from days ago - which the WH said was fake news - that Trump and Hegseth are pulling a stunt to fire artillery rounds over I-5 between SD and LA onto Camp Pendleton as a stunt, one of the busiest highways in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Right now the busiest freeway in California (I-5 between LA & SD) is shutdown do to “live fire” exercises outside Camp Pendleton so that “Couch boy” Vance can be apart of another vanity celebration. Meanwhile hundreds of cars will experience 3-5 hrs delays until it’s over. Taxpayer money at work!

Motorola historically have only supported their phones for 2 to 3 years. Often, just one OS upgrade

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Finland: Tesla cars fail their technical inspections so much, that they drag the statistics down for all electric cars. Five worst cars are:
Tesla 3 (49% fail!!!)
Renault Zoe (19%)
Tesla S (16%)
Tesla X (14%)
Porsche Taycan (12%)

Those are cars for California, not for places with a real weather.

Electric cars fare worse in Finnish car inspections – up to half of Teslas flunk

EVs are gaining popularity in Finland – but perform significantly worse in inspections than petrol, diesel or hybrid cars of the same age. Teslas have by far the highest test failure rate.
