Is this relevant to Piedmont crash?

"Beast mode is a performance setting on the Tesla Cybertruck that allows for quicker acceleration and handling:

Acceleration
The Cybertruck Beast can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds. It can also clear a quarter-mile in 11 seconds at 119 miles per hour.

Handling
The Cybertruck Beast has steer-by-wire and rear steering, which gives it the handling of a sports car and a better turning radius than most sedans.

Suspension
The Cybertruck Beast has a lower ride height and stiffer handling. When Beast mode is selected, the front suspension lowers and the infotainment screen changes to a black and white triangular tunnel."
-Tesla




Did he suddenly get up to 60?

Anyways, I had to inquire with my assistant:


A fast quarter-mile time for a vehicle is generally under 10 seconds, especially for performance cars or drag racing vehicles.

- **Top-tier drag racing cars** (like Top Fuel Dragsters) can complete the quarter mile in under 4 seconds, reaching speeds of over 330 mph.

- **Supercars** such as the Bugatti Chiron or Tesla Model S Plaid typically achieve times in the 8-9 second range.

- **Sports cars** like the Chevrolet Corvette or Porsche 911 Turbo S can achieve times around 10-12 seconds.

- **Standard consumer cars** often fall in the 15-17 second range, depending on engine power and weight.

Total inconsequential point. 4.1 or 4.2% unemployment means the economy is doing very well. Inflation down to 2.6%. layoffs down to 1.6 million in October. Trade deficit down $10 billion in October. Trump getting a great economy.

Why are democrats continuing to say "Biden should pardon Trump", Jim Clyburne just said it..Trump literally doesn't need a pardon. Do they understand this or is this some kind of political one upmanship I'm not getting?

What does the Venn diagram look like for the people who parted with Diddy and those who publicly supported Kamala?

Not unless Trump gets a blanket pardon similar to Hunter's?

Exactly. Which is why D's are saying Biden should pardon Trump to level out the balance sheet. The pardon would mostly mean nothing because he can't be prosecuted for the next 4 years but it has some value/legitimacy because the prosecutions could theoretically resurface.

No pardon.
We'll be waiting with pitchforks.

He tried to commit a coup d'etat.
And as Schiff said, he will try again.

And when he does, I'll have a pitchfork ready for you to hold and join us. It'll be up to you to decide which side you're on.

He hasn't been spouting off about how awful it is, but he will claim it as his making come March 1st.

We were told it was a conspiracy theory then because it contradicted "reports" from the DOJ but Politico now confirms there were FBI informants in and around the Capitol on January 6.

The DOJ statement was lawyerly. They were not "authorized" to break the law blah blah blah. Yeah, that's not really the question: did they in any way instigate or escalate the J6 events.

You mean like retired Marine Ray Epps, who used a bullhorn to urge citizens to "go into the Capitol" on both J5 and J6?

Epps was at first on the FBIs Top Ten Wanted List, and then quickly ignored. But eventually ge received a minor charge and received one-year probation, even though he had a leadership position.

You're not suggesting that our own government wanted this to happen to frame Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection are you? Who would believe that kind of story?

There were informants, undercover FBI agents, and officials from other agencies in the crowd.

Of course, the IG report exposing Chris Wray and the FBI comes out a month after the election.

Yes, based on precedent the reports are supposed to happen days before the election.

So, you think it should be a four year investigation that is finally released after people vote for the next president?

This still doesn't excuse the actions of the J6 insurrectionists. I learned when I was 6 that "Johnny and Billy and Ray told me to do it" wasn't a winning defense. They were all old enough to know right from wrong. If you're gonna do the crime, you gotta be prepared to do the time.

The time didn't fit the "crime." Some were let into the Capitol.

They didn't understand that the pitched battle between the cops and the insurrectionists meant visitors weren't welcome that day?

Anyone know what Musk/POTUS elect think about the mysterious drones back East (some over Bedminster)? They seemed uncharacteristically mute on the issue. Hmmm.

The obvious question you have to ask yourself is, what were the undercover FBI agents doing there in the first place?

The obvious answer is that they were infiltrating a criminal conspiracy to get information about what they were planning and who was doing what. That's been a standard procedure for decades. This is hardly the first time the FBI has done this.
