i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

The Democrats’ fatal flaw is a tendency to assume ordinary Americans are as tuned into politics as they are.

They’ve got to keep reminding voters who Trump is and all the weird creepy stuff he actually did
