Tesla is totally not a cult. Proud Incel Camino owner shows the "frunk" door is safe by slamming his finger in it, with predictable results. Gotta show loyalty to the Smartest. Man. Ever. However, like all cult leaders, Musk has nothing but contempt for the marks that buy his crappy second...

Normally, Lindell looks more like a confused, sloppy dim bulb to me. Here, he looks utterly demonic. I don't have any way of telling, but this look was so over-the-top that my first thought when I saw this pic last night is that it's been Photoshopped.

No surprise: The government waived its response. So now it is time for sanctions deadlisting to conference, where the only choice will be deny or dismiss (due to lack of quorum). What are the odds that Brunson misunderstands this signal? Instead of reading it correctly as "this case is such a ...

Yah, 15 weeks. But we may blow that up in the upcoming election as well.

I'm a little cynical about this. I think they...

No surprise that the rail tracker is Europe. US rail companies don't like folks paying attention to where their trains are.
