Evidently that's a mug shot of one of those people that have been burning Teslas.

Looking at this photo, you know his ass about to snitch! Hahaha.
 
His approval ratings are still up. I take some issues with things he has said/done, but I think he is doing better than in his first term already. And far better than Biden.
No, Beerus, come on!!! I know you are reasonable and then, deep down, left leaning hehe

This what? I'm just talking shit tho I've stopped following politics almost 100% haha. It's stressing to me

Why would you let it stress you out though? Unless you are being effected directly, just grin and bear.

In answer to "This", I'll explain what I'm enjoying. First of all, I was Libertarian until Chase Oliver went down a dark path that "we" didn't agree with. That being said, I'm enjoying the Government reductions for one.

Ever served in any branch in the American military? Dealt with the incompetent Civilan Contractors who only work 8-4 and take a 2 hour lunch break?

A friend of mine, who retired two years ago had an appointment scheduled for 1000 at one of our DEERs office here in Georgia. Just to through it out there, he is also 100% disabled through the VA. Served 23 years between the Navy and Army. Also deployed eight times between Iraq and Afghanistan. Yours truly served with him on 2 of those Afghan deployments. Anyway, he gets there 30 minutes early as required, but there is an extremely long wait time. It's 1030 now and the two ladies inform everyone they have to vacate the office because they "both" were going to lunch. Told everyone they would be back between 1230 and 1300. My friend protested and they told him he should have been on time for him appointment. He showed them the slip where he signed in and informed them he was early. They then brushed it off with their "I don't care attitudes" and told him he would have to reschedule. He then tells at them, "This is why no one gives a Fuck about you losing your jobs". Don't get me started on what I've had to deal with in the VA and Civilian Contractors who thought they knew better than me. You would be amazed at the number of Contractors that are making 6 figures that were incompetent at their job when they were enlisted. I never understood why The DOD would hire someone who couldn't finish a four year contract, or someone who stayed on injury profile during their enlistment to become a Civilian instructor. Those were what we called shitbags. Those who sit in the DFAC and just count numbers because they couldn't do their jobs. Now they're an instructor as a Civilian Contractor!? Man please! You couldn't pass a basic PT test, couldn't deploy at least once, or not bust tape, but want to now lecture soldiers on how things should be done? Hahaha, yeah ok.

I'm enjoying a lot of the meltdowns and the overreaction from the lesser educated / easily manipulated groups (both sides have them).

Also, the Department of Education being shut down is actually a good thing. Close to 90 percent of the funds that go into that Department just goes to Teacher's Unions. Why is the tax payer funding that? Most of the funding for schools come from local Jurisdictions not the Departmentof Education. Own a home or property? You will see what I'm talking about.

My apologies, I tend to get long winded and bounce all over the place. Hope I didn't come across as rude neither, as it wasn't my intentions. Because some individuals online take me differently, and it's hard to read people online. Trust me, if we were face to face conversation you would probably be like, "This dude is nuts, but he is cool. He had a hot wife too, so he has game too!" Nah, that last part is just luck not game, hahaha.

These Tesla "protests" need to stop before someone gets killed.

We have morons going around and keying, painting, and starting people's private vehicles on fire. Then we have lunatics that are attacking dealerships. I don't think they understand how dealerships work. The people running them take out loans to buy the vehicles from the factories. So burning them or trashing them is not hurting Elon, his company already got the money!

People that have no issue with Elon are starting to get fed up cause now we have some dumb dude in Florida that drove his car into a crowd of protesters outside of a Tesla dealership. I don't think anyone was hurt.

Can we just not? Like by all means, protest space man bad but don't bring people's private property into this and don't do stupid crap that can hurt people. If you hate Elon so much that hurting a complete stranger is a risk you are willing to take, you need to seek mental help.
