    So unlike Tesla, they plan to have an EV auto with a generator much like the Volt. To bad they did not reach out to GM in regards to their VOLT Powertrain to use.

     

     

    Might have helped them sooner....

      Do not forget that he also reignited his racist "why do we get immigrants from non-white countries and not from white countries" rhetoric. Oh...then there is the constant talk about war on his own citizens. Also, the constant attacks on Canada, the usa's most reliable and friedliest neighbour. Not to mention the  grifting and the corruption that allows his friends and family to gain billions of dollars financially from government coffers.  I have become NON-TOLERANT to ANY american entity.  I DESPISE maga, trailer trash and anything remotely connected to trump and/or the republican party. I HATE anything american that ALLOWS trump to continue on this path and I do NOT respect americans that allow this shyte to exist.   And many many MANY Canadians feel the same way. It is NOT just me...  It is, in the grand scheme of things, ALL of Canada that has this hatred for the usa.  And its not ONLY because of trump...   I as a Canadian, we Canadians DO have a dog in this fight as trump has THREATENED OUR nation politically, economically. His words ARE words of war and add insult to injury, some americans to this day do NOT understand the severity of it all.     Phoque trump Phoque the usa

      It's impossible not to think this.  This is stuff we've never seen before.  Recently, it was dumping feces on people protesting from a fighter plane on his own social media platform and now it's this.  A conventional RINO would (have) be(en) a Godsend.  I have become much less tolerant of trailer trash with all of this happening because they have enough critical mass to have put him where he is, yet he not so secretly despises them.

      I was very troubled by their finding Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle dead in their Brentwood area of Los Angeles home.  This brings up the sorts of things that have happened before, and I'm thinking of the late '60s and early '70s, so I was sort of creeped out. They've arrested his son Nick.  Not that it makes it any better or easier, but there may be quicker closure and the news said that his son had a very troubled past with addiction while growing up.
