Who is Justin?
And I disagree. Based on your description she has probably voted.
6 times in the same election for the same guy.

Are you inside Justin’s head Blanca? How are you so sure about your sacred truth?
You take a razor’s edge of difference in the last election and call it a majority, just like you take transgender and call it mental desease. The election was won on economics and immigration. Take a look at numbers about gay and trans rights.
I’d bet Justin would recommend that you delve into your own mental sanity.

Hostage negotiations are a phycological skill, needing a lot of training. Something you may not have experienced. They may end with success, they may end with failure.
But, in the end, everywhere, those who took the hostage lose their lives, either by death or life in prison.
There is no such a thing as a tango. Surrender may help, you may want to talk to some of the freed hostages, to understand how all Palestinians cheered their capture and exposed them to humiliation.
HE was born a HE and always will be a HE. Nothing else needs to be known and nobody needs to be in HIS head. He is not a she and never will be and again I don't need to be in his head to know facts. I dont care if the truth I just spoke hurts anyone feelz. They need to grow up if it does.
Trump flipped all five swing states and an uncountable number of decades long blue counties. He won both the popular vote and electoral college. It was a slam dunk.
Justin was the dude playing a girl in my post a bit back showing 3 for 3 arrested for damaging and destroying stuff are most definitely leftists

Oh I was not aware any of that eluded to one being a trans. I didn't know they disclosed that. I just saw a sheet for each arrest.
OK so I'm following now.
Let's see. Bee says that both sides are up in arms over Musk and are torching cars.
So far we have arrested 4. 1 where you are in Fla and one of the other 3 that by all accounts are going to be playing on the liberal team.
We have liberal governors praising the fall of Tesla stock. And all the Democrat politicians suddenly going mute on the topic of going after domestic terrorist. Which their party publicly campaigned on.
We will go slow and wait and see what the other 2 arrested pan out to be. Hopefully more arrest coming soon.
I hope they get 20 years. Doubtful but it would sure send a strong message. They sure won't get a pardon. Lol
This is what was not done during the last admin. Treat these people as domestic terrorists and throw some in federal prison for 2 decades. I guarantee you once his story makes the rounds it'll stop.
He won't be smiling for long

So now it's Ukraine too.
He had a previous DUI in May 2023. And he caught himself on fire doing this deed. We are clearly dealing with brilliance here.
We need to see how he votes.

Popular vote, the best measure, by just over a point. No dunk certainly not a slam.
Don’t agree with your thoughts on trans. We’ve been through this before.
Your insistence that your take is correct is and you understand everyone’s existence is wet behind the ears.
My 'take' continues to be proven correct later down the road as demonstrated here in recent posts.
Taking all five swing states and blue counties all over the country that have traditionally been Democrat was a dunk that broke the backboard. Hahaha
IDK. He won he's in and HE is definitely responsible for all he will do. Only time will tell if it's good or not.

That and Gaza are the two things we agree on. Possibly at all.
Not by my count
By the way, what is PBSD? I take it that it's not Plum Borough School District
The posts are just a reaction, a symptom to what's actually leading to the demise. Loss of wealth. At the end of the day Empires rise and wealth flows into every corner, as they collapse the money dries up and the people begin to revolt. You can see the effects in any empire in history. People don't like losing. All the rest is just smoke and mirrors designed to hide the fact more and more people are falling into poverty.
"The Greedy Boomers took all the houses and all the shares. No, they simply bought them at a time when the nation was still rich and had plenty to go around. Today they are simply holding on to what they got back then. That's just common sense.
Used Electric Vehicle Prices Plummet
Written By: Carpro | Mar 17, 2025 4:09:23 PM
iSeeCars is sharing its latest data into the used car market. Researchers say it's largely stabilized, dropping less than 6% over the past year, for gas and hybrid models. However, when it comes to used electric vehicle (EVs), it's a different story. Used EV prices - led by Tesla - have plunged 15%- 20% each month over the last six months. The number crunchers at iSeeCars say this puts the average 1- to 5-year-old used EV price at $32,198, or $917 above the price of the average gasoline vehicle at $31,281.
iSeeCars says it's latest study analyzed over 1.9 million used cars sold in February 2024 and February 2025 to identify used car pricing trends.

15%+ month after month, what a disaster for those poor people who bought into the "Dream". And that's what it was of course, a dream, a fiction, that somehow we'd transition all our cars over to running on electricity. The simple fact is there isn't enough oil left on the planet to do it. But there are some strange twists to this story, like the fact that everyone believed there would be amazing "New Technologies" that would increase range and perhaps even allow you to run your heater in Winter? Of course lower prices too... So what would that mean for the resale value of your $80,000 2022 Tesla? I would mean it was worthless of course. Yet those that bought into the Dream never connected these dots?
Dreamers still believe the EV has a viable place in our future even though car manufacturers all over the planet are winding back on R&D, scaling back production, and in some cases, pulling the pin all together. Of course this isn't the first time an electric transition was promoted, you'd have to go back 100 years and more for that.
They were always rejected by the public, and for the same reasons, the same as today. Expensive, poor range, long charge times, inefficient. Yes, inefficient! Even if you charge them off your rooftop solar that solar was made with coal and oil and will be trash in a couple of decades. Anyway you cut it the conversion of raw fuels into electricity into battery storage and then back into mechanical energy is inefficient. And of course the elephant in the room is battery degradation. Oh yes there are lots of "stories" out there about how the batteries are good for 10+ years, but in the real world things are a little different.
Here is a selection of the 18650 batteries I use at home, I use them in many many devices and have dedicated packs on the bicycles to power the headlights. These are the Same batteries they use in a Tesla BTW, the same ones used in probably all EV. They just pack in tens of thousands of them, at great expense. The Lime colored ones at the top are the Panasonics, made in Japan, Very expensive. The others are all Chinese no doubt, some pulled out of new laptop packs, some brand-name ones. The Chinese ones have the worst lifespans, I've thrown many away in my day, the Japanese ones are better but I doubt they'll last 10 years still holding a decent charge.
The secret to longevity is to store then at 40% charge, that's the accepted value now. And when I stay store I mean from week to week usage, or longer. Take them back to 100% after each use and watch your lifespan melt like snow in spring. I ride my pushbike every 3~5 days and only charge them the day before I want to use them, like 12 hours before typically.
The hybrid car is a sick joke too, people don't realize that the hill climbing and overtaking power comes from the boost the electric motors provide, without them you're driving a 1965 combi van. They will realize this one day, when their battery dies. Hopefully it won't be while they are overtaking a large truck. They could have put a powerful gas engine in them, but they didn't, the cheaped out like with everything else today.
I'm happy with my 18650's, they do the job much better than the old NiCad packs of yesteryear. Much more powerful and longer lasting, perfect for torches and light power tools, bicycle lights and R/C cars and planes. Scooters even, and electric bicycles. But that about their useful upper limit. Go beyond that and you're just wasting your money, creating problems for yourself.
