This is an auto industry motivated action. There could be a number of reasons for the precipitous action. First, do know Ford announced a few months ago a retreat from small car market. Trump's anti-regulation government is key to these moves. Notably by lowering or eliminating 'fleet' fuel efficiency standards, the American car makers can focus on the profitable truck/SUV market. They no longer need the small cars - a market segment they're not 'killing' - to raise their average. Both Ford and GM also had forward looking aspects of their announcements. Critical to that are thi

I think any fair reading of history, beginning with your neighborhood and kid games of king of the hill and going to the wild west and Billy the Kid followed by the mob wars during prohibition including the rise of the "G-Men" and going to dictators like Hitler and Saddam and even Osama Bin Laden ... all of which feature those whose bullying behaviors ended badly, more or less proves those who seek to win by dominance and dominance alone fail. Yep, there are those like Trump who piss off everyone when they win and who seek to subdue and dominate the balance of humanity through threats of r

If an academic were to line out the players in this drama, look up and categorize each new topic started and each reply, that academic would be able to say that there was one group that is quite practiced in propaganda and used a variety of such propaganda techniques and tactics to misinform, lie, distort and often misstate not only their own positions but the positions of others ... with the logical understanding that conflict would occur. I mean we've all been treated to the hyped fears of a massive caravan of middle eastern terrorists disguised as refugees from brutal, criminal regimes

eat my cheese Actually, I was reading the post that Aunt Bea had sent invisible and hit the wrong button making it visible by accident. I could toggle your hate filled reply for all to feel but decided that I would return the post to its status quo ante. BTW, the post is not deleted; just hidden. pubby PS: Now you understand the brilliance of the word substitution routine on pcom.

It is obvious from the hidden post that some think that their views are intelligent; so intelligent that all other views should be censored by banning the subjects of their ire. Take it from me, no one is that intelligent. The plain fact is that those on the right have called for the banning of specific community members for years and during that time they convinced those that they want banned that it should be those who call for banning that should be banned. As the internet changes and circumstances also change, all may get their wish. pubby

More like Vlad is a national socialist, in a Russian mafia kind of a way. pubby PS: I hear Mueller has been busy during the election which he kept his investigation totally out of.

GD: So its true, Donald is going to crown Vlad king of the world when he comes next January. But no, I had nothing to do with that because I'm one of those democrats who doesn't believe in kings. pubby

Well, it is the 100th year anniversary of the end of WWI ... That as a pretty big deal ... coming November 11th. Heck, the exploitative terms of that peace treaty contributed to the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, not to mention the role played in the destruction of the Romanoff dynasty in what would today be Putin's Russia. Yep, November has a few special days. pubby PS: I think my desire regarding the outcome on Nov 6 would be others nightmare ...

At approximately 2:53 PM on Monday October 29, 2018 Paulding E-911 received a 911 call reference a fight in progress at 8478 Dallas Acworth Highway Dallas, GA 30132. While Deputies were enroute to the scene, the call was upgraded to a shooting in progress involving multiple individuals. When Deputies arrived on scene, they encountered multiple individuals and noticed that several vehicles had been shot. Deputies quickly took all parties into custody without discharging their weapons which helped secure the scene. Deputies located one white male who had been shot with what appeared to b

Don't you mean that Republicans need government to do nothing because republicans like Brian Kemp need those jobs 'doing nothing' because they're so incompetent. Then with full knowledge and support from Republican voters for them doing nothing (a great job) those other Republicans who are predators can take extra from the victims and keep subsidizing elected Republican officials for turning a blind eye to their predatory extractions. Now that we've formed international criminal syndicates with such visionary leaders as Vlad Putin organizing the predation, we especially want small, weak g

The GOP position is predators are predators and ought to be allowed to be the best predators they can be while democrats are victims and victims need to know that their role is very important to the predators but they should just man up and quit their bitching. The result may be a fantasy world but hey, the predators have their gold-plated toilets and fixtures and as far as the victims ... they all die anyway in the end so why can't we get along? pubby

As I read this, it is so clear that we'd be living on Mars would have colonized the solar system if we just hadn't gone down the road of socialism with passage of child labor laws. How could we so foolish as to restrict the ability of the ultra rich to use the right-sized hands and lack of brains of six and seven year old children. In terms of social morale, we all know that we are all so grandly inspired when our contemporaries are killed, maimed and ultimately starved if they make a mistake like getting sick or having an industrial accident. Think of the billions wasted on regulatio

And this is a prime example of the hate misogyny I'm referring to. As to Elizabeth Warren, they tasked Eric to send yours, Senator

Nope... some how the coding for you original post was lost in translation. I was writing on this reply overnight and used the 'auto save' tool to recreate earlier effort. I wasn't intending to plagiarize your post. I would have preferred the quote coding remain but really, who cares besides you. Now, to suggest that I reject love and you embrace it ... that is total BS and you know it. Fact is, this whole element is a distortion of the type you and your champion (DJT) find great glee. You do know that we see through the projection tactic in which you condemn your enemies of acting i

This is where any real analysis of budgets and priorities shows that meme from the 1980s, based in large part on the welfare queen dog whistle, has kept the US far from attaining the contribution levels of other OECD nations. Indeed, all the top ten nations contribute greater than 25 percent of their GDP to social welfare spending while the US currently ranks at #21 with a 19.1 percent of GDP going to social welfare programs. Of course the US relies heavily on private expenditures (churches and other welfare organizations) which dilutes is buying power and efficiency meaning politicians have

This is exactly the type of problem that can't be solved by capitalism. Why? Because the absolute requirement for capitalist to work, people need to be rational. The homeless are not rational ... they suffer (like about 25 percent of the rest of us) of mental illness and maladies from paranoia to autism, bi-polar disorder to physical disability and everything in between. It often took decades to create these mental cripples and addressing their problems will take copious amounts of compassion, mercy, money and effort with a likelihood that a large portion will fail to attain full rati

If true (I have also seem reports that this is exaggerated), I sincerely hope they find who is responsible and deal with them accordingly. And I would caution everyone about making assumptions as to who or what group is behind it. To answer your question, yes I'm afraid that it has come to this. There has been so much hate spread, people are at the breaking point. I absolutely do not condone this; as Dr. King often stated, hate begets hate, love is the only answer. So I would encourage all who might read this and give a damn what I post to NOT fall to the level of those who have spread the

Thank You GD .... .... for admitting right here in my birthday thread that you're the one throwing out race and stoking the fires of hatred and division. Now, if I could just get you say whether a president is above the law ... or not. (This is a question I'll note you've yet to answer even as a hypothetical.) Such a small thing. pubby Thanks' all for the belated Birthday wishes

Don't know whether your dad is a 'liberal' or not but I think the majority of 'the base' assumes that electric car owners are because of the statement such ownership makes in regard the environment/global climate change issues. My older brother, for instance, is one of those who was temped to get a hummer - he got a chevy suburban instead - because it got such poor gas mileage just to stick it to the liberals. Anyway, I also recall the change in the way Georgian's justified the change in registering vehicles with legislators hailing it as the repeal of the birthday tax. Judging fro

Thanks, folks. Yep, 68 ... and coming up on 2019 fully tagged, including paying the outrageously priced anti-EV state road tax. What is particularly galling is that the general assembly, besides adding a $200 annual 'road tax' on electric vehicles, actually has a formula set up to increase the cost of this fee if gas cars get better gas mileage. ($218 this year). I mean if the word fairness had any meaning for you, this road tax (to replace the road tax electric vehicles don't pay because they don't use gasoline) would be based on a mileage equivalent of some sort. See, I wou

I did a promotional video about a company offering a chemical treatment for mold that looked great a few years ago. It involved a specific type of enzyme that was particularly fond of mold for food and would actually migrate through damp drywall - mold is proof of the dampness - and eat the mold on the hidden side. (That is one of the reasons that efforts like that described above fail.) The other reason is the BIG, BIG, BIG THING is to make sure the source of water feeding the mold is removed/eliminated because as long as moisture is there, mold will grow. Beyond that, I'm not sure if

Postman: Kemp is pointing his shotgun at the youth because he considers his daughter his property and he'd kill someone trying to use his property. It is straight out of the misogynist playbook establishing that Kemp, like Trump, suffers from arrested development as he clings to his membership in the he-man woman haters club. Who, besides Trump and Kemp, are members of that misogynist club? pubby
