Do it. Leave. Then lose your election and disappear. If we're really lucky, no one will remember you until they hear it in connection with being arraigned for federal charges.

Have you actually looked at the EV market, or is this informed by vibes? Most EVs are sedan sized and reasonably priced, especially compared to all the $100,000 trucks Americans love to buy.
Hyundai makes excellent EVs.
It's a signal. The right kind of signal.
We all knew they would confirm this unwrapped mummy despite their protestations of concern. The act is tired.
I knew a guy in New York who was DACA. Dude grew up in Boston and had a Boston accent. He rooted for the Patriots. He's only ever lived in the Northeast. It's been several years, but by now he's probably married a US citizen he was seriously dating. But Trump and the rest can only see an Other.
Anything to not support actual progressive values. They just need to do a better job explaining why the status quo of a 45-year-long lurch to the right with massive income inequality, institutionalized corruption, and corporate serfdom are in our interests, right?
Many of these things are timed to take full effect after Trump's term. Republicans in Congress expect the next president to be a Democrat and for that person to take all the heat if they do nothing to stop it, to have to raise taxes to offset the cuts, or to incur additional deficit spending. Republicans can campaign effectively against all three, and Republican voters will lap it up like hogs at the trough.
It's always been about slavery for this subset of the population, right from the very beginning of the formation of the country. Not just money, not just power in an abstract sense, but the kind of power that only comes with slavery.
The fascism is only a means to slavery. They'll take it as far as they're allowed.
When you told them they probably didn't realize at the time that Democrats could be involved
Interesting article. Just one of these vessels can cost $5M to remove and destroy. One of them sank in the Columbia and it would cost Oregon $25M to remove it and clean up environmental damage, which Oregon doesn't have the funds for. Yet the federal government is selling them for as low as $5,000, often without verifying means and insurance. Sounds like the federal government should be paying to do the removal directly, but of course then they couldn't shift the cost to states.
Notable here is that the only shipbreaker companies in the country authorized to do business with the federal government are located in Brownsville, Texas, so in the event they're large enough to justify the cost and seaworthy enough to make the journey, this effectively becomes yet another tax Pacific Northwest citizens pay that goes to red states.
Abandoned and derelict vessels are quietly piling up in Washington and Oregon waterways, posing a threat to fragile marine ecosystems. At least 37 of these vessels in the Pacific Northwest, including the Pacific Producer, were formerly property of the Navy, Coast Guard or another federal agency, then bought by someone who later abandoned it. Together, these former government vessels have cost Washington state and Oregon over $21 million to remove and destroy.
Chuck Schumer can hardly wait to send more sternly-worded questions in a letter!
