Not a link, but an observation: a friend who found a 2005 Prius for $2800, and who is also mechanically qualified, reports that the propulsion battery may be replaced one NiMH cell at a time in case of failure. This is a partial answer to my earlier question about what to do when they fail.

I did not expect this. I agree with her but I did not expect it from her.

Point 1: As suggested by Bannon in his debate with Frum a couple of weeks ago, Trump and Ocasio-Cortez are identically populist figures: If you're foolish enough to be impressed with one of them, you're certainly part of the problem with the other.

Steve Bannon said that. (Pretty much.) I love that.

Point 2: My state is magnificent while yours is not so much. I pity those who don't recognize the setting, and who've not had breakfast there.

Point 3: Because they're peas in the populist pod, mocking Ocasio-Cortez will no more dis-enthuse her fans than ridicule of Trump diminishes him in the hearts of his idiot fanboys... Nonethless, it's cute that some people call her "Occasional-Cortex."

Probably the last Hollywood movie that I will ever truly adore.

Why back of the envelope calculations are useful.

If you look at the actual charging document you see that the charges refer to four restaurants over a period of 5 years (2012-2016). During that period it is alleged that 5.6 million dollars of sales tax was underpaid. Seattle has a sales tax rate of 10% (6.5% state, 3.5% city) so that implies that customers paid the taco shops $56 million for extra meals that were not reported to the state. And this is where we realize that some people in the Washington Department of Revenue has apparently been at the wacky baccy.

Back of the envelope, anti-vaxxer edition.

$43 million to treat. $270 thousand to vaccinate. Letting people get the disease and treating it grosses 160 times as much as vaccinating.

If they were really about selling out your health for money, they’d let you get sick.

First of all, it's weird how often you post the titles and passages of the very items you're about to link to without emendation or any expression of your own beliefs, as if you're afraid you might say something stupid.

Secondly, here you are going after Bezos... Given your resentment of the electrically propelled Rocket Man, someone might think you're intimidated by anyone who's a more successful businessman then your chubby orange sexhero.

But there are hundreds of thousands of businessmen in America who actually create wealth, rather than suing their way to success while squandering *Daddy's* fortune.

One can be both anti-Bezos and pro-mom and pop stores.

The Trump administration has reached an agreement with Mexico’s incoming government for a plan to remake border policy by requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims move through U.S. courts.

Snoopy really seems to love him some Trump. Always good when the racists/morons self-identify. (Ironclad rule of Trumpalos is that they are either one or the other, often both). Snoop's welcome to clarify: racist, stupid, a person of terrible judgment. No other options are available.

The Trump administration has reached an agreement with Mexico’s incoming government for a plan to remake border policy by requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their claims move through U.S. courts.

No agreement has been made, per Mexican government and actual journalism. Asylum requests generally considered a human right, and doubt the incompetents Trump hires are capable of winning the court battle to try to break from international legal tradition.

Hopefully a long and eternal slide into irrelevance and jobs as dishwashers in restaurants who hold Trump supporters in contempt. Who gives a fuck. No one's owed a job. If your politics make you toxic to your employer, shut the fuck up about your politics to or go try to get in on the grift at the Daily Caller or Federalist (lol at so-called capitalist mouthpieces that are failed businesses sucking on the teat of their wealthy supporters).

NRA gonna step right up and defend this good guy with a gun I'm sure.

Thank you WholeHAWG on your contribution to the elect Trump effort. Without the support of people like you he never could have become president. And without your continuing support his reelection would be in question. So thank you once again for your ongoing efforts to get him reelected.

> One can be both anti-Bezos

...True as far as it goes...

> and pro-mom and pop stores.

...But you'd never expressed concern for small business before. It's a surprise for you to mention for the outcomes of anyone besides your Orange Beloved.

Branching out! Good talk! Keep going!

Hey, if people gonna own their status as pieces of shit by continuing to support someone who makes their lives worse, that ain't on me.
