THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

[OwnTheRide]

We don't need to subsidize electric vehicles to make them take hold. We need to get cheap electricity online and the infrastructure to deliver it in place. If your house electric bill dropped to $5/mo, it would not take anyone long to realize the massive savings they could realize by switching to electric vehicles with home charging, electric heating, etc.

The main issue is, the governments are going about it the wrong way. They need to increase the supply (make electricity dirt cheap), rather than try to artificially inflate the demand (banning gas vehicles, outlawing natural gas heating, etc). By approaching the solution from the completely wrong direction, they're driving up costs of things like electricity, greatly reducing - or even completely destroying - the economic case for electric everything.

There's one well-known, safe, scalable, and effective solution: nuclear power, combined with grid infrastructure updates (including burying end-point delivery lines). All other options are too little, too late. Unfortunately, achieving this requires politics, which is geared towards collecting votes, not implementing effective solutions.

Ending the EV incentives is not new. Elon knew that was coming last summer. Trump made no secrets about it.

And Elon was cool with it. It might cut his sales a little, but it might not, it would hurt his competitors much much more.

I think EVs are ready for prime time now. They're not right for everyone for every situation, but certainly the infrastructure is there now that they make sense for a ton of people.

They're fantastic for anyone who can install a charger at home. We very rarely charge anywhere else. Like maybe 3-4 times in the year we've had the car, and my place is *not* urban by any stretch. We still have other vehicles, gas and diesel if we need them, but the fact is 99% of our driving is the Tesla now.

Well, Elon may have been ok with the termination of the incentives - before the Communist Mob turned on him.

Trump and Musk were both a little naive.

Trump was beloved by New York and Hollywood for decades. Elon was the greenies favorite fellow.

I don't think either anticipated how mindless Democrats are.

I still don't think Elon really cares about that much.

I think he's pissed that Trump isn't sticking to being fiscally conservative enough.

Too much pork in the "big beautiful bill".

Trump allowed the pork to get the bill enough support to pass. Elon is pissed about that and thinks Trump should have taken a harder line on the pork.

Plus the concept of big omnibus bills is an anathema to property functioning government to begin with.

WTF?! FBI Director Kash Patel: "My house just got swatted yesterday."

JOE ROGAN: "The head of the FBI gets swatted?"

PATEL: "Yeah. It's the ultimate height of hypocrisy. They have 2 sets of rules. One against you, one for them."

This is MADNESS.

I listened to the entire podcast yesterday, it was worth the time. IMO

The Big Beautiful Bill addresses the Elephant in the Room - ILLEGALS

Once we have funded a truly functional Deportation Engine, a great many problems will correct themselves.

Illegals cost us billions of dollars a year.

Throw them off of Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, Housing, Schools - this country will be great again.

Just curious what you think it will cost to remove the majority of them? 10’s of billions, 100’s of billions. Will it be cheaper in the long run, probably but it won’t be cheap. We should certainly do it but only to the point where it makes financial sense and the bad ones are out. At some point catching the last 5-10% may cost us astronomically more than it’s worth. Time will tell and it will be an interesting ride.

Probably be cheaper in the short term too.

It will cost billions to remove them, but it costs billions a year to keep them.

How long is the ROI on deporting a criminal on welfare, section 8, and 10 other kinds of government dole. Could be less than a year.

Alexander Hamilton was 21 in 1776. James Monroe was 18.

I'm not too worried about it. We want disruption, not people who are going to stick with the status quo.

Young blood is good for disruption.

That was a different time when being 15 meant being a man. XY's who are biologically 30 aren't fit to be classified as a man these days. And I call them XY's because many aren't fit to be called a men/man.

You're not wrong.

There are tons of 50 year old males today with less maturity than a 12 year old had 50 years ago.

But that doesn't mean *all* 20 year olds today are immature twat waffles.

I'm going to give Trump the benefit of the doubt and assume he picked a good one.

Trump is the kind of guy that has to have the last word......all the time. I dont think it matters who he picks for anything, I dont think he lets anybody make a final decision, its all gotta go before him first.

There is also a larger issue at hand as well. Stunts like this can sway the moderate conservatives or moderate democrats who closet voted for Trump to go the other direction in 2026 and can cost us the House.

I don't see him as a micromanager.

He's had far too much going on for far too long not to let his people make their own decisions.

He's got an ego the size of Texas and I'm sure he thinks he knows best, but there's just too many high level decisions going on every day for him to involve himself in all of them like that.

Could be. But the media will sell *any* decision or appointment he makes in a negative light. You can't let them influence your decisions like that.

The ones screaming the loudest about this guy being too young were the same ones celebrating the DNC bringing in Hogg because the old leadership was too old

Its still worrisome considering how much of idiotic populus believes everything the main stream and social media says.

That's a fair point. It is hypocritical to say this guy is too young meanwhile Hogg is like, what 21-23 years old and they were OK with him.

It's more about if they agree with the person or not. Which I understand, in politics you try to push for the policies you think are correct, and if someone has influence in the direction you like, they get support. Both parties do this and have a lot of hypocrisy built in. Doesn't mean you shouldn't call it out or that you are wrong in calling it out.

This has been my concern with a lot of the decisions made. If you want to make an impact you need to please voters so you can stay in office and accomplish something.

You mean, do nothing for the country so they can stay in office?

True leaders don’t appease…they lead.

 

[fresch]

Rich people think differently and President Trump did the listen to the know it all's the first time.
Did we forget what just happened 4.8 yrs ago? Well repeat.
This is the time, now, to start the end of the illegals and welfare.
If not, A true war will follow with the big boys jumping in (Chi-na), islame, etc..
The men are here and in position, the hard part done. Weapons are easy to get to them.
A probe for sure, if heavy responds isn't done kiss the U.S. bye bye.

I still think the whole thing was some kind of ploy.

Not really. They have to do things but sometimes things go too far or aren’t popular. This hurts your plans in the long run. If what he’s doing is good, and I believe most of it is then don’t we want him to stay popular and stay in office? If what’s he’s doing is good and pisses off tons of people so he or the party gets voted out and the democrats return things to the way they were then what did we accomplish?

GM moving $4 billion in production from Mexico to the USA. We need more of this, much more of this but this is a fantastic start.

General Motors announces $4 billion investment to shift some production to US

The new investment will give GM the ability to assemble more than 2 million vehicles per year in the U.S.
