I'm with you-all it does is split the blue vote between "progressives" vs "moderates", when we need to be focused on regaining the footholds of power first. Sometimes moderates are our best best, sometimes progressives. Just win, baby!

This guy suffers from delusion, how any "religious" figure could say what he is saying is simply crazy.

From the story:“In all candor, I sense no one wants to pile on punishment but it’s important to hold someone accountable for this child’s death,” he said.
BS, why does someone have to be held accountable? It was an accident FCS. They are just piling on and making it much worse. Horrific decision.

I own a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (SUV), and it is THE BEST CAR I have ever owned. Totaled my 2022 Ioniq 5 (deer), so bought a 2025. It drives great, charging is so easy, great dashboard, and acceleration is instantaneous. As long as you are in populated areas, charging on the road is a snap. Go for it!

I've ridden on the subways of Boston, NYC, and Washington, and never once had a bad interaction. The funniest was on a train in NYC when someone asked, "What time is it?" Like an idiot, I said 2 pm, and he said, "No, it's Doowop time" and started singing! Got a lot of stink eyes for the other riders
