I am glad that the budget cutters are getting some support and someone with a real mouthpiece is actually speaking out about this ridiculous bill. When it comes to Elon tweet versus Trump truth, the smart money is on Trump but I'm rooting for Elon.

Assuming that happens and he is rapidly returned to jail, does the bail bondsman keep the $20,000 for the second bond even though he was only out for a day or two? That would be nice.

Not sure how the alleged murderer got that bond. Judge may have just made a big mistake. Prosecutors are trying to violate him back to jail on the other charge so he might go back. But speaking to the two guys that allegedly provided alcohol to minors, the one who got no bond appears to be a...

Out on bond after being out on bond for an attempted murder charge, different incident. Sheriff is not happy and vocal about it.

My thought is you have the limiter, as well as the ability to briefly surge for emergencies like needing to get past a merging vehicle simply by pressing the accelerator. The manual override would be for a time when you need more time over the speed limit like driving to the hospital.

I like it. And its not like the technology isn't available to limit the speed but also allow brief (10-20 second bursts) over the speed limit for emergency accident avoidance. I could even see a manual override function that allowed for a speeding to the hospital type of exception but then...

Did catch this guy. He had fled to Chicago. 19-year-old. The suspect is the son of the party organizer and apparently he and his friend were the only two people not patted down at the beginning of the party. Glad everyone's physically okay and glad they got him.

Are you sure they are all MAGA? Danbury, Connecticut leans Democrat and has voted Democrat for president the last 4 cycles. The mayor and the majority of the city council are Democrats. I guess that the fans could be exclusively Republican or that they only selected MAGA's for interviews but...

Reagan loved him some evangelicals. Goldwater pushed them away because he thought they were nuts and would take the party away from conservatism in the sense of a smaller government. He lost, but he was proven exactly right.

He gets 75% of the way there just for having an R at the end of the name. Probably a little further. So did W and McCain, etc. the people I'm talking about are the persuadable middle. Obama won them. Joe won them. What happened to Kamala and Hillary and Kerry?

I'm sure there's some of that. There's always going to be a team aspect to politics. But I have my doubts that what she is describing in the deep backwoods where the KKK still has a relatively active presence is really representative of a large part pf the American electorate. I doubt it is...

Suspect still at large, and the sheriff being unusually tight-lipped about information on the suspect. Apparently it was an argument after leaving a charter boat after a big party. The boat can carry 120 people. No life threatening injuries thank goodness.

It could be. You must admit that people have used quotes like this attributed to LBJ as evidence that he was a racist who only cared about getting votes vs doing right. And maybe I jumped the gun. LBJ is one of my favorite presidents, even with his flaws, so I can get a bit defensive.

You may be confusing Super saying that I felt like it was LBJ's political strategy with me actually claiming it was LBJ's political strategy. Easy mistake to make. What I did claim was despite someone attributing that quote to LBJ, there is very little evidence he actually said it. I don't...

I think if folks are going to continue to smear the legacy of someone who did an awful lot for advancing civil rights, it matters quite a bit if he said it.
