Trump Possibly Self-Incriminates in Interview + Boebert Thrown Out of Theater for Vaping, Groping

[@jenniferbalestra3706]

I studied stage management in college. The reason there are infrared cameras on the aisles in the house (audience) is so that the people running the show backstage can see whether the aisles are clear for actors to enter. Some shows, especially musicals, have actors coming through the audience to get on stage, so the stage manager needs to see that it’s safe for them. Theatre nerd alert over lol.

[@jacovawernett3077]

Thank you, theater nerd. The force is strong in you, Nerdette to Nerdette.

[@lexadex]

Makes sense! I remember Lion King the musical had fun action in the aisles so of course people would need to ensure that space was clear for the actors.

[@Logixtu]

I would assume they would also be in place and recording to catch people trying to make bootleg recordings or to look back if someone had bootlegged it and ban the person who held the ticket of that seat

I too saw Lion King on Broadway and there were several actors in the aisles throughout the show.

She makes the same mistake most do with China, though. China is notorious for lying about everything, and EVs are no exception. They pump out garbage that is constantly catching fire due to being a poorly-constructed Tesla knock-off. (using tech practically handed over by Elon Musk) There's massive lots filled with ownerless EVs paid for by China's government for the factories to just churn them out to drive up the numbers. So no, not really ahead. Just sounds better to say we're behind, being the underdog.

But the problem with that is.......... THAT isnt where the bar should be set. When picking a president, your options should NOT be someone who is straight-up crazy and wants to turn the democracy into a fascist, plutocracy, or a man who probably wont be alive for another 4 years. NO country should ever have to make that choice. --And indeed no other country has ever had to make that choice. I mean Biden is great because at least he isnt crazy... Thats such a low bar to pass. Biden has been a HARD right-winger for 50 years. He isnt about to fix anything. The only thing Biden has for you, is that at least he isnt Trump.

[@ArtGirl82]

Plus, Joe didn't set a mob of murderous extremists loose on a bunch of his co-workers or try to downplay a once in a century pandemic, leading to thousands of unnecessary deaths, because it's existence bruised his ego. Also, he doesn't have nightmare fuel, like Mike Flynn and Stephen Miller, lining up to work for him. His people are actually sane and probably don't look to Hermann Goring's work for inspiration.

Why, because I'm not going to approve of any choice u make and I'm using the excuse that, the American people should have say, and we're too close to an election. 11 months?

Directly being asked about say, trumps misdeeds. They don't care. His point that, he could shoot someone on 5th avenue. It's true. They'd say he probably deserved it somehow. Face it. The wealthy Republicans love him because truthfully, he's one of them. So of course he's all for more loopholes in taxes and keeping what u took. The middle class. Say 150,000 a year and up, probably did receive benefits. From investments etc. So they're happy with him. Now the average Americans. Making 65 thou a year or less. That's a quandary. They get noticed. In rallies and some speeches. And that's about it. Thats a conundrum. Not much in financial gain. But a definite shout out. Him acknowledging them as part of his world. That's the cult factor. 🤔 But those are the Republicans. Now when it comes to Dems feeling troubled. Prices are high. Food, gas. Essentials. Rent. Things everyone MUST have. But what do we hear from the administration. Drug prices down. Some health stuff down. Most Americans don't have drug needs. Health aid, isn't a daily requirement. But that's what they boast is down. While the prices of daily requirements are just as high as before. And that's what Dems question. In my opinion.

If america was really serious about change then it would make voting day a national holiday so ppl can take time off to go and vote.

One major reason that the auto industry does not want to go electric is that EVs need much less maintenance.

Fewer parts to break, etc. I took my EV in for it's first work in 3 years these past few months for 1) recall items (software update) and 2) new tires. For many cars of all types, software updates can be done via internet/wifi. No need to go to the shop. It particularly hits the dealers hard because for many dealerships nearly all the profit of the company is in their repair shops.

He tries to be decent, but of course he believes that he will be a God in the afterlife, so who cares?

[@ZHZhuull]

Yeah Mitt's such a decent respectable human being especially that time him and a bunch of his friends held another schoolmate down and shaved his head while he screamed at them to let him go because they thought his haircut looked "too faggy". No I don't care that this was years ago before he was a grown man That s*** is unforgivable and should stay with him until the day his shriveled up a little soul dies

"Do you know who I am?" is also an absolute no-win question to drop. Either they don't, which hurts (since only famous and powerful people ever try,) or they do and don't care, which is even worse.

Compared to my state rep and state senator, Slotkin is very disappointing on the UAW strike, hedging on an 80-20 issue in Michigan, repeatedly telling local news that workers should not "let the perfect be the enemy of the good." She has no sense of where Michigan voters are at. (Just like she thought her constituents were pro-life even though Proposal 3 ran way ahead of her, and also like her weird crusade against cannabis, which also ran ahead of her in her district, including her work to keep Michiganders out of federal jobs for legal cannabis use.) Her voting record is a clear warning that she would be a potential Sinemanchin (Chuck Schumer cleared the field Sinema too). Jocelyn Benson, there's time to get in the race! But as the field stands, I'd vote for Pamela Pugh, Leslie Love, or Hill Harper. There have only been 11 Black US Senators in all our history, two of whom were Reconstruction-era politicians, and a few of whom just served tiny parts of a term (e.g., Roland Burris for Obama's vacancy, Mo Cowan for Kerry's, etc.). Only two Black Democrats have served a full term in the US Senate: Cory Booker and Carol Moseley Braun.

[@dfuher968]

Harris left of her own choice tho, as did Obama. Thats the only reason, they didnt serve full terms. But I support u voting for whichever candidate, u prefer, in the primary, its ur state, ur Senator, ur right. I just hope, that even if u dont get ur prefered candidate in the general election, that u still go vote for whichever Dem made it through the primary, coz we all know, how disastrous any GOP candidate is going to be to get through their primary.

[@AnthonyJMurph]

This is a bunch of gibberish. We need more senators that aren't some left wing or right wing nutjob. Sienma aside, you sadly need Manchin on your side. Would you rather have a Frozen Majority Leader McConnell? Don't do a purity test. Also, as an Illinoian, shut the hell up about Black Senators. Three of them came from my state and two of them sucked. Carol Moseley Braun was an ineffective idiot who got kicked out by a moderate Republican. Roland Burris has ALOT of baggage when it comes with corruption. Obama got a better job. Pick who would be a good representative, not by skin color. Slotkin is a former CIA employee. She is an expert on national security.

And yet they are still electorally very viable. If that's not an indictment of the general population I don't know what is.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

2004 was the last time a Republican won the popular vote for presidency. I think it’s an indictment of the broken electoral college.

[@Kuh8024]

He said his age. He’s in his 70s.

@@Kuh8024 i was only half paying attention. It’s just crazy that public servants will talk shit on the way out. “Oh yeah. By the way. I lied to the general public for years. All of my colleagues are monsters. There are a million things that I could have done to make the world a better place. I’m really not feeling it anymore. Peace.”

[@hks2377]

I heard it was their 1st & last date, but that may just be her trying to avoid pre-divorce, infidelity accusations or “hanging with a guy who she had to know runs an LGBTQ-friendly bar” accusations 🤷‍♀️

[@gardengal26]

@@hks2377 who knows, but the point is how her behavior is so different than what spews out of her mouth. And this guy, I don't think he knew all of what he was in for, or maybe he did. He wasn't any better than her other than he didn't appear to be mouthing off like her. She's so horrible.

On the electric vehicles issue….what is the price of a replacement battery? One of the gops talking points. How do I fact check the price?

[@pakde8002]

The environmental cost front and back end should be figured in with the actual price.

[@cbpd89]

That number varied A LOT from car to car. It cost $1000 to replace my Prius battery, including labor, but ten years ago it would have been four times that at least. EV batteries are definitely more than that to replace, but as people drive their vehicles long enough to actually need a replacement, an industry of battery refurbishment will emerge. The cost will go down and it will be easier to find mechanics who do that.

[@autumnmoon7529]

@@cbpd89 I saw a post that someone reposted that it cost 29,000.00 to replace. Their argument against electric vehicles. I myself have no clue to the actual cost. That seems high!
