Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
In my day, never was longer.
“But what about the lurkers?”
We still have time to mess this up!
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.
Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.
Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: They’re really amping up the meanness now. I’m not complaining…good to see the gloves coming off (I LOLed on the Kellyanne Conway dead-soul-and-hair line)

@efgoldman: Yeah, electric motors are much better at acceleration than internal combustion. They get full power all through the RPM range, not just at the high end.

@efgoldman: I’ll ask my friend the physicist doctoral student tomorrow but I don’t think so.

Adam, that video you posted is nothing compared to this vid. A guy made a portable Tesla gun that shoots three foot lightning bolts you can actually touch. Then they recorded it at 28,000 FPS.

I got to take a trip in my friend’s Tesla last year. Sweet ride, and we even had a super-charger or two on the trip.
Electricity is in my veins, yo. My dad was an electrician, and I sure shocked him! Also, our son built his own Tesla coil for an art project in college. Plasma is purty.
