I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?
Congress? Any answers?

Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.

So, Musk financed the making of a very expensive electric car, thus having almost no effect on climate change. He financed a rocket for celebrity tourism and eventually redoing NASA's voyages to a big rock. Very rich people finance things. They don't do the work. They can afford to overcome mistakes because they are using their own money and are answerable to no one. He's never been a genius anymore than the owner of an NFL team is a football player.
His own money? Like all his endeavors he's leveraged to the hilt on this. And while federal, state and local governments would never let SpaceX (massive NASA/national security dependency) or Tesla (green cred and significant employment) go under, Twitter could (and probably will) default due to his foolishness.
Friend of mine had his Tesla battery fail and needed replacement. He turned the car over to them based on a $9,000 quote. Five months elapsed and he was not able to get even periodic updates - there is no human interaction but rather automated chat to tell him the car was not ready. $17,000 and five months later and he has his car back. No thanks...
Tesla should not be making cars. They will never be more than a niche player. Tesla should sell its carmaking business to a larger carmaker with a better support and service network, and concentrate on batteries!
Actually (ironically) - of all the cars I've bought at dealerships in my life (there have been 5 - and a lot of shopping so... oodles of experience) and Tesla's was a billion times better than any of the others. The price was posted on the website and there was no haggling or negotiation of any kind. No one tried to upsell me into anything and the entire experience was of going for a test-drive (without the sales person) and then coming back and having them help me fill out the form on the webs…
Woah 😮
