And the traitor will try to do the same with the USA, if he gets in office. Well, he’ll do it either way.
You’d think that Republicans would curculate a “Don’t Fuck With This One” list among themselves.
Pete is always prepared to kick a Republican’s ass in a verbal spar.
Burlison is obviously a RINO. No real American would talk about liters of water needed to put out a fire.
IIRC the US customary unit is “Olympic-sized swimming pool”.
And Hermitian!

Being the complete cockroach she is, she managed to take a probable 3 year sentence and made it 9 years. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
From your link:
The project would be good for the youngest Trump son, Barron, an 18-year-old college freshman, giving him business experience and steering him away from more scam-ridden segments of the crypto industry
Comedy gold!
Steer him away? His proud papa would want to steer him toward!
Clearly he is using litres because it allows him to quote much bigger numbers than if he used gallons (or swimming pools).
What was the number? It struck me as quite a lot.
And was he talking about specific causes of fires? I don’t remember that in the video.
I think that is was battery issues causing fires, which does happen but is rare, (multiple times less frequent than sponatneous combustion of a gas powered car), but when it does happen it often makes the news because its novel so it sounds like it happens more often than it does. Also apparently when they do catch fire they are difficult to put out since they can recombust, and may require full immersion. That is the reason the senator was concentrating on how much water it took to put out the fires rather than the number of incidents.
No, you have to steer towards the parts without scams, so you can open up new scamming opportunities.
I think Melania knows full well what Donald has in store for Barron, and I think she wants to keep him away from the grifting, the cons, the cheating, the lawsuits, the lawyers, and so on; and though she has her faults, then if what I have suggested is the case, good on her.
Let Barron be a student at NYU, let him line up at the bookstore with an armload of soon-to-be-bought books, let him sit in a lecture hall while an instructor drones on, let him go to the Fall Semester Mixer, let him be just another student, fercryingoutloud. Let him discuss issues in History 101, or symbolism in English 101, or dissect a frog in Biology 101. Let him be, in other words. That may not be Donald’s vision for Barron, but it seems to me that it is Melania’s.
Unrelated but I’m slightly surprised that the government isn’t buying more electric cars. Be an example, you know.
How many cars does the federal government buy overall in any given year? 0.5% of all EVs bought is still several thousand vehicles.
Well, the Postal Service is in the middle of acquiring about 65,000 new electric vehicles and an additional 40,000 non-electric vehicles through 2028. It’s a fleet modernization effort (replacing 40-year-old delivery trucks, among others) and doesn’t represent constant and continuing acquisition but it still seems like a lot.
I was told there would be no math.
Unfortunately for Melania, I think Donald has made that impossible.

This is schadenfreude in the sense that Trump is getting a taste of his own medicine, but on the other hand, all the CT theories that people believe in about this election and how it will influence their vote is worrisome in general.
The anti-Trump conspiracy that’s sweeping the internet
If you’ve spent any time on the more rabidly liberal or anti-Trump corners of the internet lately, you’ve probably seen variations of the same theory bouncing around your social media feed: If Trump wins in November, JD Vance and his conservative allies in Silicon Valley will use the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office and seize power for themselves. That plot, so the theory goes, is the reason that right-leaning tech elites like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk backed Vance for the vice presidential slot in the first place — they’re all in cahoots to depose Trump and launch an intra-conservative coup designed to give power to Vance and his oligarchic allies.
The 90-second ad, titled “Brutus,” is meant to invoke the infamous betrayal of the Roman dictator Julius Caesar by his ally Brutus, but it relies on the same unfounded theory that’s gone viral on the fringy corners of the anti-Trump internet. “If you win, JD will come for you,” an female voiceover intones in the ad, addressing Trump in the ominous tone of a horror movie narrator. “JD’s plot to invoke the 25th Amendment is already underway … and with Democrats in the majority, no one will stop him.”
