Because it's a Democrat cancer, trying to hamstring Trump?

edited to add:

Now that I've (foolishly) given this more thought, is prostate cancer left-wing? After all, it attacks men but gives women a pass. On the other hand, its steadfast refusal to attack transmen is transphobic. It denies their existence when it refuses to end their existence.

That's because of the hormone "therapy" they are on so they can appear to be female.

A Slate?
Yeah, probably not...

The likelihood of that truck actually coming into existence is very low. Many of those startups are scams.

I considered it, briefly.  In context of getting a beater now, and a tiny reserve down payment for 2026 delivery.  But it's just so... impotent.  Can't tow anything worth towing.  Given the upgrades I'd probably want (big battery, and SUV kit) would take it well over $35k, I'd rather get the Scout Terra Harvester instead which can actually tow what I want and has that nifty gas range extender.  But I don't really even want that.  I'd rather just have a new quality V8 truck with no monkey business to try and save a nickle in gas.  I think they're coming.  I don't see GM admitting their mistakes with AFM/DFM in the 5.3 and 6.2 motors, so I'll be looking at either Ford Coyote 5.0 or Ram Hemi 5.7.  Or if they just can't get their heads out of their behinds... restore an old truck or just go with the afore-mentioned Scout.  There's some seriously nice stuff on BringATrailer, and I even saw an awesome 3/4 ton rig on Craigslist (late 90's GMC with the 7.4L gas engine, 60k miles, sheltered life and beautiful paint and interior).

Talked insurance into fixing my Jeep.  So no buying a beater, at least for now.

SWMBO's Forester is still in the shop for timing chain replacement, should get it back Tuesday or Wednesday next week.  So this weekend is car-less.  Did one grocery run on the bike last night, I'll probably do another one Sunday or Monday morning.

Now Ben, we've had this discussion before.

You KNOW it's impossible for a protected POC to be racist. They are the absolute antithesis of racist.

Only pale devil Whitey McWhiterson can be racist. Whitey McWhiterson's very existence is ultra violence MAGA racism.

I don't like that we have to keep explaining this to you.

Whoever was running the autopen when we did the prisoner exchange needs to be taken out and shot.

Canadian penny was last distributed official in 2012 (according to Wikipedia). Still legal tender, so it's accepted by stores but apparently isn't given out in change because they do the nearest 5 cent rounding.

I'm trying to figure out what that means. Is it just a DOJ opinion that Trump can make go away if the original HPA reaches his desk? "Regulated under the NFA" sounds to me like the watered down "$0 tax stamp" version. I guess we need more info, but if this is an accurate statement, I reckon some hate will be flowing Pam Bondi's way.

EDIT: Looking into it a bit more, it appears to be an acting US Attorney, and he claims they fall under the NFA because they are so prone to use in crimes. Apparently the last two acting US attorneys that made similar dumbass comments regarding RKBA were let go. Maybe this guy will be shown the door as well. I read through his whole brief. It hurt my head.
Yeah, that is completely separate from the bill Congress is working on.  If the HPA passes, it will be moot.

The other part that occurs to me is if they take suppressors and SBR's out of the NFA, I may not even notice pennies going away. 

Maybe Republican politicians will notice that and get ideas for a future since they rarely do anything for their own voters.

During the Civil War Salmon P. Chase put his own portrait on $1 legal tender notes (aka Greenbacks and not redeemable in gold or silver, but backed by bond obligations) and Abraham Lincoln's portrait on the $10 legal tender note.

So yeah, I have no doubt that if he could get away with it, The Donald would put his mug on one or more denominations.

Only if they use the mug shot.   =)
