https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/01/wyoming-republicans-take-a-stand-want-to-ban-electric-cars/

:derp Why are Republicans like this lol
I'm not sure the headline here is accurate, as Ars Technica notes in their article:
Quote
Anderson told the Cowboy State Daily that if successful, Wyoming's legislature would inform the rest of the world that "if you don’t like our petroleum cars, well, we don’t like your electric cars."

But even if the bill passes—not impossible, given the tight Republican control of both chambers of Wyoming's legislature—it does not bind the state to any action other than a general sense of opprobrium toward cars powered by batteries.

Indeed, the Cowboy State Daily quotes State Senator Brian Boner, another politician behind the bill, as saying some might describe the bill as "tongue-in-cheek, but obviously it’s a very serious issue that deserves some public discussion."
I actually wonder if they could pass this if it wasn't a meaningless resolution or if it'd die immediately.

This is the weirdest political campaign of all time.
Even more of an anti-campaign than the 2016 campaign.

Come on, he didn't kill a dog. He just stole money from a GoFundMe for a veteran's dying service dog. In drag.

You should try and look up the entire 'Diamond Eulogy' Trump did, it's the best stand-up comedy act in ages.

Silk: "Whenever we went to see him, Trump treated us like one of his children, we were so close..."

Trump: "I knew Diamond but I didn't know you (Silk) at all."

Trump [in front of a 99% African American audience in a black church]: "I've always wondered about this do you guys prefer to be called African American or Black?"

He probably moved them all to George's ranch.

"Heya Dick, long time no see partner."

"Hello George, ...can we store these boxes in your barn? I'm uhh helping Liz to redecorate. Her diary is in there somewhere so she insists no one peeks in the boxes."

"Sure thing Dick! 6 vans? Woowee partner, nothing like some spring cleaning right? Did you see this thing about Pence? Am I glad I left all that spooky stuff to you, Condi and Rummy and never read any of those papers.
Imagine lying about that to the feds, now that's a Texas Rodeo Mexican Stand-off with the feds you don't want to get involved in, imagine having to find a lawyer willing to take that case. I still have nightmares from 9/11"

"Hmm yes, looks like Mike Pence is in a lot of trouble George. 9/11 was a tragedy for many Americans George if you're still traumatized that shows character and courage"

"Yeah but many Americans didn't have to deal with that commitee stuff that turns your brain into a fried corn stick"

"Well George, just like I told you - they never see it from our perspective"

I'm going to just paste what someone on my Discord server said because they said it all:

Quote
Sad that "civil rights" has become a cover for radical leftism.

More often than not when civil rights is mentioned you can assume that the activist involved has some ties to abolishing the police, Marxism, attacking "whiteness," pushing black supremacy, or falsely causing racial moral panics.

It started back in roughly 2017 with the women's march but a lot of other institutions that claim to follow civil rights like the ADL and ACLU have fallen to radicalism as well.

Another day, another "protest".

The main point is how he refused to give them back when asked multiple times and lied about it. He didn't just discover them and turn them in voluntarily like Biden and Pence.

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, THE FEDERALIST: It is unbelievable that they were allowed for two years, that Facebook was allowed to deplatform at first the sitting president of the United States, then the leader of the Republican party, now a candidate for president, a potential future president of the United States. They did this in part because people were not creating enough outrage over it.

Facebook in general has done so much to attack freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the freedom of free people to debate. They didn't do it just with Trump. They did it with all sorts of effective voices. All sorts of important debates about COVID. And, so, finally two years later after meddling in election after election, now they're finally saying, oh, he can come back now. This isn't even coming close to making right what they did to this country and what they continue to do.

It is true that the left has become this authoritarian totalitarian force. They have pushed to continue this horrific censorship that has done so much to destroy civil society in the United States. So they did try to keep the pressure on Facebook. But that is not to their credit that they are even worse than Google or Facebook or Twitter or these Big Tech companies that have done so much censorship against the American people.

It's just crazy how much the left supports this type of restriction on how people can say or think or what should happen to them when they do. I think it's also worth remembering when this happened -- when this move to take President Trump off of these platforms happened -- it was so bad that it alarmed people who don't even have the protections of our First Amendment. Angela Merkel was appalled. Various other European leaders were terrified about what was happening with how much control these Big Tech companies have over -- if you can do this to the sitting president of the United States, this makes you more powerful than most governments.

They are not just private companies. They have a lot of privileges that are afforded to them. This cannot continue. And if they think, oh, after two years of this type of thing, allowing a little bit of more free expression would keep people from coming after them, I think they have another thing coming. They are an existential threat to the country and the party.

So this guy comes to visit Paul because Nancy is out of town. Poor Nancy, if only she knew what Paulie was up to with these guys.
It's the family of the speaker right, she's the third in line. Like if they shot me and they shot Mike, you'd have Nancy. Boy, that would've been something. PRESIDENT PELOSI. The whole world would've laughed at us but thankfully I wouldn't have to live through it.
In any case where is the security. I mean, you can't tell me that Nancy doesn't have security. I've been to that neighbourhood it's the most secure, you wouldn't believe. You have all these big guys standing around, ay yay yay, they're packing right? She knows what I'm talking about.

Anyway there this weirdo, his pants are halfway down. They open the door like a cute couple. This weirdo takes the hammer and hits poor Paul but not in the usual way. :trumps

Mark Twain once wrote, "All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."

I will dance a public jig when Trump kicks it.

SEAN HANNITY: How will other candidates distinguish themselves against Donald Trump if they agree with his policies?

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: I really don't know, but I do know this. We're lucky it's a party to have Mike Pompeo, who was a terrific secretary of state. Nikki Haley, a strong voice in the U.N. for the American-First agenda. My buddy and love him, Tim Scott, right? Mike Pence is maybe the most decent guy to ever serve in the government.

Here's why I am with Trump. I know the downside of Trump but let me tell you about the upside of Trump. There are no Trump policies without Donald Trump. Do you know why NATO gave $431 billion in defense spending increases? Because they thought Trump really moment when it he said he was going to pull out.

Do you know why the capital -- we moved the embassy of the United States to Jerusalem? Every president before Trump said "I will do it" but then all the smart people said it would create World War II. Trump said, "I said I would do it, I would do it."

He's responsible for securing the border through his personal will. When he put tariffs on Chinese products, it scared the crap out of Mexico and they said, "Yes, we'll be glad to give you 28,000 troops, we'll be glad to keep people in Mexico. "Because they thought Trump would put tariffs on Mexican policies.

There are no Trump policies without the man, Donald Trump. And to all these people who are very talented, I don't think you could do what he did, and I want him to have another shot. Unfinished business.

...

SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM: No, we need to get ready for a real spirited contest. Now, why Trump? You mentioned like DeSantis, if you try to tell me that Ron DeSantis is not a good governor in Florida, I'm not going to listen to you. If you try to tell me Mike Pompeo is not qualified to be president, I'm not going to listen to you because I think he is.

I am for Trump not because of the flaws of anybody else. I'm for Donald Trump because I know what I'm going to get. We need somebody that, on day one, can get this country back on track. That can secure our border and bring order out of chaos. Somebody the Russians and the Chinese fear. Somebody that can take the fight to the terrorists. The Abraham Accords are the result of Donald Trump impressing the Arabs and the Israelis. He's the best solution to the problems we face, not because of the flaws of others but because of what I know he can do, and I'm telling your listeners right now, when you hear, "I like Trump policies but I'm ready for somebody new," there are no Trump policies without Donald Trump.
