Boebert comes from a strongly red district in Colorado. I live there and voted against her, but to no avail! Fortunately, our state government is mostly blue!

Unfortunately, this is a clear sign of how much our government is, and has been, controlled by money not political will. Trump's inauguration had the three richest people in the world sitting in prime seats, overseeing their new oligarchy.

Military acquaintances of the driver were surprised that he built such a weak bomb, probably because he thought the battery would add to the effect and didn't know how strong the tonneau cover was!

Actually, the "shitty construction of the car" contained the explosion of the fireworks and gasoline in the truck bed (the battery was not involved) to the extent that the glass doors nearby were not damaged. The driver shot himself before the blast.

The power grid is already separated from the rest of the US!

Actually, the driver shot himself before the bomb exploded. Seven others outside the truck received minor injuries.

You could say the same about Colorado!

Why are so many of the posts I see on Bluesky just captures of posts from X?! Where is the original content here?

You can't fix people who won't listen to or read facts!

This is the free speech he says he wants!

Wrong! SpaceX provides 80% of all rocket launches in the world. Their Starlink satellite intenet system provides internet to areas around the world. The US military has bought a private connection after seeing its use in Ukraine.

Tesla is keeping the US relevant in EVs and robotics.

Totally right! Non tech people have no understanding of the importance of the H1B visa for American technology. Treating this like any other immigrant visa is patently false. I say this as a retired engineer who worked alongside many Indian and Chinese H1B engineers. We need them!

Trump can't focus on Americans for the same reason Putin is invading Ukraine! They both base their power on how much land they control.

VERY disrepectful! Tesla employs many of the top engineers in the automotive industry. Why do you think China begged Elon to make a factory in Shanghai, becoming the only foreign company allowed to be in China without a Chinese company involved?! So they could copy it!

Trump isn't smart enough to qualify for an H1B visa and doesn't understand how it is used. I guarantee no company would use an H1B to hire a foreign engineer and use them to do menial labor! I say this as a retired native US engineer who worked with many Chinese and Indian e gineers on H1B visas.

70-80% of the grad students in US colleges are international. This is because the US has many of the top universities and only about 5% of the global population.

I would take all of those except poutine! Leave my fries alone!

It's not a mandate for Trump, but it may be a mandate to improve voter education!
