    The choices for speaker will be Donald Trump, or a compromise candidate who will offer something to get Dem votes.

    In other words, the next speaker of the house will be Donald Trump.

    Not a fucking chance- the speaker has real work to do: calling votes, setting policy agenda. Trump doesn’t want to do an actual job

    If I am understanding this correctly, he has two options, neither are good

    1.  Commit Perjury

    2.  Attempt to use the 5th, which in civil court is essentially an admission.  Essentially speaking, the judge will look at your refusal to defend your practices.  Considering that he has already ruled guilty, I can't imagine that will help in any way.  

    Do I have that right?

     

    Yeah pretty much. In depos they all pled the 5th. I don’t bet we get any fireworks

    Yea, like I said, highly regarded. That TCU team needed a fuck ton of luck to beat some of those teams not at full strength. We’re dominating everyone. But let’s squash it anyways. 

    No one seemed to put an asterisk beating us with our backup in last year. Plus we’ve won each of those games by at least 21 points.
     

    Let them keep hating.

    It’s an issue we take very seriously,” she said. “And contrary to the comments that were made, there is a robust and growing team at X that is wrapping their arms around election integrity.

    This is corporate speak that doesn’t mean anything. It’s made to make you think she and X are doing something about election integrity but having a “team” “get their arms around” something is frivolous BS. Elon could have fired the employees responsible for election integrity and also this over lawyered comms statement can be true at the same time.

    Here is what a Tesla Cybertruck cop car could look like

    Concept art was revealed at a Las Vegas conference this week.

    Andrew Paul Published Sep 22, 2023 1:15 PM EDT

    Tesla’s Cybertruck isn’t even available to the public yet, but concept art for a Cybertruck cop-car made its appearance in Las Vegas on Wednesday. During a presentation by Oracleco-founder Larry Ellison at the data service giant’s CloudWork conference, a massive screen showed off the EV’s recognizable, angular design beneath red and blue emergency lights, as well as a bull bar and multiple Oracle logos.

    But as Inside EVs noted on September 21, the rendering features misplaced bumper lights and rear wheels, while also missing the vehicle’s single, massive windshield wiper. Although this could indicate the project is early on in its development, Ellison promised its imminent debut.

    “Our next generation police car is coming out very soon,” Ellison said to audible audience murmurs. “It’s my favorite police car. It’s my favorite car, actually. It’s Elon’s favorite car.” 

    “Among other things, it’s very safe, very fast, it’s got a stainless steel body, and we don’t have to add a screen or cameras to it because we can actually use their existing cameras and existing screen to put our application on it,” Ellison continued.

    Both Oracle and Tesla already work alongside law enforcement, providing cloud support software and electric vehicles, respectively, for forces in Wisconsin, California, and elsewhere. Ellison has also called Musk a “close friend” in the past, and previously saton Tesla’s board of directors. According to Ellison’s presentation, the first Oracle-integrated police cars already include voice-activated, retrofitted third-party “Tesla-like” screens, but the company plans to leverage the Cybertruck’s existing camera systems and monitors. 

    First unveiled in 2019 and promised to arrive in 2021, Tesla has since delayed the Cybertruck multiple times while also increasing its estimated price tag. At last check, production and delivery were slated to begin by the end of 2023, although that deadline now appears dubious. During the EV’s debut event, Tesla vehicle designer Franz von Holzhausen threw metal balls at a prototype Cybertruck to demonstrate its “Armor Glass” windows, causing the driver side windows to shatter.

    “The ball didn’t make it through,” Musk joked at the time.

    My grandfather and I built a pinewood derby car that looked a lot like that except we painted it yellow. That was probably in 1987.

    And unless you were left track it didn’t matter where you put the weights or how you cut it. The right track was slower for every car but we’ve all got to pretend Jeremy was an engineering genius because he got a good draw. /rant
