Actually pretty excited that Biden has proposed a new constitutional Amendment ensuring POTUS is not above the law. #uspol

The stupid cybertruck is the Deranged Rover. It’s not even amphibious or wildfire-proof. How will it help a customer be resilient to climate change, actually?

This is the unacceptable part. This is not about “staying or leaving” but maintaining control of your own account identity in any event.

“On Nov. 19, 1999, after spotting the motor coach on the lot of Desert West Coach in Phoenix and putting a hold on it, Justice Thomas attended a dinner at the conservative Goldwater Institute.

“He talked about the R.V. a lot,” [Juan Williams, the Fox News commentator] said. “It was a warm, safe place where he didn’t have to be attacked by liberals and Blacks on the left. What he liked about it was not being pilloried.”
