Huh....weird

“In the 2 to 3 years prior to December 2023, I sold 27 pieces for art at an average price of $54,481.48,” Biden said in the filing. “But since then I have only sold 1 piece of art for $36,000.”

Hunter Biden reveals his dire financial situation after selling one piece of art this year and lackluster book buys​

Biden has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit he was pursuing against a former Trump aide as he can no longer afford to proceed with litigation

I can't believe people defended that. I thought that was the absolute most crooked thing about Hunter and Joe until the pardons. At least before, Hunter sat on corporate boards in relative anonymity.

Yeah. I do think Trump's recent stuff is bad but for different reasons. it just sullies the image of the presidency. who would do that? dude is already a billionaire.

I think Hunter's art scam is bad like Trump's hotel deals were bad the first term. Like when foreign diplomats would only stay at Trump hotels. Just so corrupt. Hunter's stuff is on par with that.
 

According to Tesla delivery agents, Cybertruck deliveries are on hold. There’s a containment hold as many owners are reporting trims flying off the supposedly ‘bulletproof’ electric truck.


Many Tesla Cybertruck buyers are taking to forums and social media to report that their deliveries are being pushed.

There are 8 Cybertrucks buyers waiting for deliveries who reported the delay on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum and many more on X and Facebook.

Most are being told by Tesla delivery specialists that there’s a “containment hold” on all Cybertruc deliveries.

A containment hold generally occurs when an automaker finds something wrong with newly produced vehicles and wants to hold deliveries to fix the issue so that it can avoid recalling vehicles in customers’ hands.
 
Protests at Tesla dealerships are reasonable IMO but this is obviously criminal

 
Chinese automaker BYD has become the first in the world to unveil a commercial battery for electric vehicles that is capable of charging in roughly the same amount of time as it takes to fill up a fuel tank.

BYD’s new Super E-Platform offers 1,000kW charge speeds, which is four times quicker than the 250kW charging rates of Tesla superchargers.


These speeds can offer a range of up to 400km (249 miles) in just five minutes of charging.

During a live stream event at the company’s headquarters in Shenzhen, China, BYD said mass production of the new technology would “completely solve users’ range anxiety when travelling”.

...

BYD is the best-selling brand in China, accounting for roughly a third of all EV sales in the country. Last year, the company overtook Tesla to become the world’s largest EV manufacturer, despite a relatively modest market share in Europe – and still no presence in the US.
 

He's said a lot of batshit crazy stuff, but this is just getting beyond belief. What we're doing to Canada right now is simply insane and makes no sense whatsoever - literally no sense. Canada is never going to agree to become a state, no matter how much pressure Trump 2.0 places on them, and we're rapidly turning a nation with which we have had perfectly good relations - and with whom we share one of the world's longest borders - into an enemy for no good reason at all, unless you consider Trump's ego and bullying and literal insanity to be a "reason." Of course we now have about fifty horrible things all happening at once, but his treatment of Canada alone would get any other POTUS impeached and removed from office. But there are always exceptions for Trump, somehow.

ETA: I should add that there is one logical reason for a president to do this - if they're a Russian asset or doing Russia's bidding (maybe, say, a Putin stooge?) to wreck our alliances and good relationships with even our closest allies. Of course even to suggest that drives his supporters to have the vapors and scream bloody murder, so we can't have that.
 
if they're a Russian asset or doing Russia's bidding
He's an asset. I don't think it's particularly necessary to delineate if he has a handler (I suspect he long has). He's undoing decades of relative international stability and American economic hegemony to acquire more money for himself, and in an attempt to fill the infinite hole in his ego. Putin is simply the worm-tongue.
 

The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed U.S. electric carmaker Tesla from its event this week, saying its primary concern was the safety of attendees and exhibitors.

Tesla has faced numerous protests in Canada recently due to owner Elon Musk's proximity to U.S. President Donald Trump, at a time when Trump has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports and publicly made threats of annexation towards the country.

The car manufacturer has seen protests at its dealerships, and its products have been excluded from B.C.'s electric vehicle rebate programs amid the trade war with the U.S.


The latest development comes with the annual Vancouver International Auto Show deciding to exclude Tesla after the carmaker was given multiple opportunities to withdraw voluntarily, according to a statement from the show's executive director.
