Maybe it was watching their chief asset waving back and forth for 39 straight minutes instead of answering questions.

Compared to other electric cars that were on my list. The model Y compares fine to the Blazer EV, the Cadillac Lyriq, the EV 9 and similar.

That's such a "Doesn't he look tired" move on Kamala's part. Love it. I watched that Trump town hall, it was not a good look for him at all. It started very late, questions came off of prepared queue cards, Trump rambled nonsense while holding himself up on a chair and sitting like there was something in his pants, then he called it early and just stood there swaying back and forth.

Dude is not all there, and it's worse than before, and I say that as someone who believed until yesterday he was just as bad as always, he isn't, it's much much worse now.

True, I was in the market for the last 6weeks. Tesla is well priced and equipped, but Musk is so awful they weren't a consideration.

Comment sections for this article have some serious "all lives matter" vibes. These policies likely matter to black people, especially black men, because they're disproportionately impacted by them.

They're 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for possession. But almost 10x more likely in some red states.

Want to know what's a big barrier to economic success? A felony like getting busted with cannabis.

Why Crypto? Well a disproportionate number of Black people don't trust the banks or financial services in general, and are under serviced by them. There is a generational mistrust of banks due to discriminatory practices in the banking sector. They're five times more likely to not even have a bank account than white households. This makes loans to start a business harder to get, it increases costs to cash cheques and pushes black people towards less traditional financing or banking services like crypto.

Folks, I'm just saying, we all know that you too are impacted by these things, but it's not out of line at all to direct messages to those who are impacted the most.

When a hurricane hits Florida, threads don't full up with comments "what about Maine?"

The link to black men is pretty clear as far as I'm concerned. Possession is used as an excuse to target black men, to increase sentences, to imprison, it's no joke.

These people are the worst, especially considering Trump is absoltuly an abuser.

Thank you for this level headed analysis. Seems like a reasonable take to me.

No wonder he doesn't want background checks. Someone should check his burn barrel for bones.

I don't watch Fox, is Baier a fair anchor or a lunatic?

I haven't been exposed to that. Papa is reserved for grandfather by most folks in my region.
