The Republican Party barely exists.

The problem with Republicans is they are so desperate for people to like them, they get into bed with the sleaziest shysters. This guy has told you he is a communist. His actions match because he literally has cars EVERYWHERE. He bleeds the government of money, and the Republicans treat him like a hero.

If this happens, it is proof there are ZERO fiscal conservatives alive. I mean, I just don't get these people. Trump printed 40% of all the money ever printed. Made it so people could not get evicted or repossessed. Dropped money from helicopters, and forgave all that money TAX FREE so people went out and bought airbnbs. And people wonder why everything is so expensive. 

I mean... I think it's funny. I'm in a low interest loan with money in the bank earning 5% interest! I don't care what you people do. But to act like Trump didn't help cause this is ballsy and makes me really mad.

I'm telling you - if there were an election today with Trump or another candidate - I would vote John Fetterman. And I voted for Trump. I've voted Republican 90% of my life. Fetterman is the only candidate that isn't nuts. He is despondent and depressed. This is a candidate I can get behind.

Trumps' antics were funny when we didn't have all these problems. Which he helped create! He appeals to people who just want to call people stupid names. They don't want anything fixed. They just want to burn it down.

Keep burning people!  My savings plan loves you.

Crony capitalism at its finest.

The fleet has really expanded since I was here last week. I'd say close to 100%. Now they are parked about 90% of the way to the mall entrance. This is on top of the two story parking deck that I've mentioned previously. 

I have a bank on this block, so when attending to business, I do a little driveby.

This is what I predict for Tesla. Elon will "step down" handing this off to some other CEO.  He will say that he wants to concentrate on other things like Starlink, and SpaceX. When it fails, he will blame that CEO. 

Tesla is a fully mature sector, so, offloading this inventory will be hard this time. This lot is not even in Silicon Valley proper! 

I've been watching ghost lots for a loooong time. They are now bigger than when they first started years ago. It is not only Tesla. I even know of a city bus ghost lot. They all are getting larger than I've ever seen them.

Starlink helps him burro into governments, helping offset losing his carbon credits when he leaves Tesla.

At least we have this completely useless technology.

The problem with the Democrats is - they just don't want you to have the electricity to power this kind of thing. Right? But the Republicans are worse because... I'm not saying they are afraid of technology, buuuut - they act like they are afraid of technology.

The minute anything comes out to try and help people, the conspiracy party jumps in and screams "it's gonna take our joooobs", South Park style. They literally turn into monkeys throwing rocks at fire. Then they try to burn it down. I swear - if tractors were just coming out today, Republicans would scream about them taking jobs and try to ban them.

I imagine the reason we are stuck perpetually at 4K, is because we don't have the bandwidth, and conspiracy NUTS keep trying to make it impossible to get 5g. Meanwhile buildings in China are basically giant monitors. 

We used to be the envy of the world. Now we are filled with people with smooth brains from soft lives. Both parties are suffocating our economy. But the Republicans are slightly worse because they are trying to make things awful so Trump can come in and save it.

We have some very serious problems and both are just doing identity politics. A pox on all your houses.

I don't know who needs to hear this....

Said in the most sarcastic way. But the Fed no longer has control over interest rates. Japan and China do.

I got inflation wrong because I could have never dreamed people wouldn't give a fuck about others dieing or becoming disabled. (i.e. Taking people out of the workforce which causes inflation to rise) Or that people would spend every dime the government printed on houses and luxuries during one of the most significant health emergencies of our time. 

You don't have to like everyone on Earth, but they ALL serve a purpose. And because a large potion of the population thought they were expendable, now you will pay financially. Nothing in life is free.

I've got news for you. Rich people don't give a shit that you can't see the bigger picture. I'm not even rich, but was saving for land before the pandemic. Even I laugh every time interest rates go up. I think - lets see how high they can go. Everybody thought, oh this "cold shit doesn't affect me, so I don't care." 

Well...samesies about the intense financial pain you are in. I guess you should have thought about that.

Now you are gonna realize how utterly self owned you are. And you have no one but yourself to blame. At least the rage farmers made a ton of money off you. They still get to live in their mansions.

Never forget who ~really~ bullied you into the vaccine.

Then taunted, and mocked people after they did. It was the Republicans. You can see an example here in the comments. This is one of my long time readers saying that he hopes I die from the clot shot.

The Democrats were no better, but really they only did what the Republicans already wanted. Biden did force people into the shot in September of 2021, but the Republicans were already in bully mode with the shit above. You see Scott and MANY other Republicans posting this in Sept of 2021. They said it was okay for us non vaxed people to get shut out of society! They said I shouldn't even be allowed health care.

People like him were calling me a liar when I said in March of 2020 that people were already getting reinfected. They called me a cult member when I said herd immunity was a lie. Picture here as I know most people do not click through.
 

 

First they called me an anti vaxer. Then a pro vaxer. And then a "covidian". 

They said I was lying when I said a knew people that has wound up in the hospital from the vax. 

I had a regular here, who fought with me for the longest time, about the birth control pill having a higher chance of giving you a clot than the vaccine. She wouldn't listen to anything!  They said it's only going to take out the old dead wood, so we don't care who dies.

You know what makes me maddest about the Republicans? I feel like if I had gone to a Trump rally masked, they would have harassed the SHIT OUT OF ME. Just like the Democrats did in San Jose at Trumps rally that ~I~ attended!

After I had to go completely underground in California due to the Democrats harassing Trump supporters at the time, my own party goes NUTS! And this is why I am on the warpath.

I genuinely don't know how much common sense it takes to know you shouldn't get ANYTHING three times a year. Do astronauts coming back from the space station after 300+ days have immunity debt?

No. No they do not!

All I know is that I did a pretty amazing job of figuring things out. Despite being piled on and not really understanding what was going on at the time. But I read countless things I didn't understand until I started to understand them. And I'm here to say y'all fucked yourselves and all of us. They don't keep no big deal viruses in labs.

I'VE GOT ALL THE RECEIPTS. And lastly..... everyone knows we can hear at least half of the population coughing. Right?

-----

I was going to warn people another wave is on the way..but I just got back from McDonalds and EVERYONE working there was masked. So it must be already here. I haven't seen that in at least a year.

Tesla is a JOKE.

 

This is NOT capitalism. Yet, Elon could burn every single one of these cars, and it wouldn't make any difference because he has taken the long con. Carbon credits. Of which he has already made almost 2 BILLION dollars on this year. Here and here.

The parking deck at this mall in Pleasanton has been full of his cars in for almost an entire year. I started talking about it here. It has been there SO long I stopped even taking pictures of it until I rolled up and noticed he started consuming the visible parts of the mall.

Also... I would like to say a big fuck you to all the Republicans who think he is a god. You guys are retards.

I made sure to get pictures from the back so you could see none of them have plates.

Today thoughts.

A couple of weeks ago, someone on Twitter said " you just have to accept you are on a boat with people who want to sink it". Which made me laugh because some of us have already accepted that.

However, we've also noticed that the other people don't know how to drive a boat, and these retards don't even know how to swim. Maybe these idiots will even set the boat on fire. They don't seem to realize they are going to drown. They think they are going to build back from the ashes. LOL.

I'm going to use my pants as a life vest and watch all you nuts kill each other.

I mean, the Republicans used to tell us that "when you burn things down, sometimes they never come back". Maybe they think this only happens when BLM destroys things. Not Republicans.

The age of appeasement is over.

People "who don't want to get us into a war" - have gotten us into a war.

The thing about appeasement is, the person being appeased starts to take more and more. Then your choices are to stand up, or give up. And this is where we are today with Israel AND Ukraine. I personally see no difference between them. 

If they stop fighting - they cease to exist. And the fact that literally everyone was ready to sacrifice them, to keep the status quo, is just super fucked up.

I think I will keep my comments about the Russia lovers to myself for now because I just can't believe the Republican Party went knuckles deep supporting Russia over the US.  I'm going to circle back on those hot takes later.

My party has pretty much gone insane. 

I guess i have something to say today.

I used to love coming here to share all the things I've seen. Now it's hardly worth it at all. With all the "they are coming to take our jobs" people.

I'm just super frustrated with humanity right now.

A couple of months ago I went into a new resteraunt which was using a robot to take food from the back of the house to the front of the house. Yes, this takes one job. A thankless job that does NOTHING to further your career. But people just think - this is the way we've always done so a human should be forced to do this menial suckage job I guess. 

I just don't know what else to say honestly.

Ghost lots are back en vogue.

And better than ever.

Yesterday was a two cyber truck day. When I looked back on my shots, each one was crowded with Teslas. Then I thought - those guys are probably geeking out.

I'm shitting all over Republicans this year.

"Ukraine began its involvement in the Iraq War on 5 June 2003, shortly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Throughout the conflict, Ukrainian troops were limited to a peacekeeping role, as part of the Multi-National Force – Iraq, though they engaged in combat with Iraqi insurgents. 

On 9 December 2008, Ukraine formally withdrew its last forces from Iraq, ending its participation in the Iraq War. Prior to the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine's involvement in the Iraq War was the largest military operation ever performed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, and 18 Ukrainians were killed." (emphasis mine) 

Source.

I'm trying to understand what the Republican Party (the party I vote most often) stands for anymore.

Imagine what it's going to be like when the Republicans are the only ones sandbagging Ukraine. They weren't even a NATO member and sent troops to help defend us during out terrorist attack. When we invoked article 5. And now we won't even sends weapons? 

Did Russia send troops? No. They did not.

I'm starting to wonder if Republicans believe in Western values at all. Or if they even know what freedom really is after the last four years of fake "mask freedom".

The problem with Republicans is they dance around shooting themselves in the foot over and over.  All the while laughing at everyone else and calling them stupid.

Republicans in a nutshell.

It's really weird that a country without a navy can sink so many Russian ships. BUT UKRAINE IS LOOSING. Said in the most sarcastic way.

If Russia could win - they would have done so already. Do you think they are dragging it out for funzies? It's 721 days in.

Literally EVERYONE except China and Mexico is sending money and weapons. But, as usual.. Americans are so completely out of touch. This is going to be a fun year. Everybody going to find out they been self owning themselves.

Tucker Carlson is the Sean Penn of Republicans.

I honestly do not understand what is happening to Republicans. It is so deeply outrageous that Tucker goes to Russia. Gushes about Russia, - while Russians live without heat like this,this, this, this, this, this, and this.  Tucker asks Putin about our bathroom politics, while a lot of Russians still don't even have indoor bathrooms! What has Russia developed that makes us care one bit what happens to them? 

The only reason Putin granted that interview is because he thinks he is losing the war, and needs to change the narrative. It's been more than 700 days since the war started. Almost every day for the past week or two - Ukraine is blowing up Russian refineries. Which is funny because Putin thought he would freeze Europe to death because of their own stupidity and naivety. Now Russia will freeze. And I frankly support that.

I have news for everyone reading this - if the US stopped giving money to Ukraine today - the war would go on. Even Japan is sending money to Ukraine. And it's hard to understand why Americans are choosing Russia over Europe. WHY? I think it's the same nativity that Germany had outsourcing their energy production.

I believe Ukraine is no different from Israel. If we let them fall, we are next. They are the only backstops against some very bad actors. Russia is constantly testing our airspace. Just last week they did it two times!

I just never thought I would see the day where we didn't support our allies. But here we are.

It's funny until it's not.

 

Maybe I'm willing to fight this year because the nation has gone full retard the last four years. And I'm pretty pissed at the world everyone has created. Remember, I'm Gen X, but if you get too salty - I might ban you from posting. So stay classy! Because I've got time.

Every day the Republicans, like Tucker Carlson, say that Ukraine is losing. On (checks notes) almost 700 days into this war. Ukraine is sending drones into Russian areas NEVER thought possible. I would even say that the Republicans WANT Ukraine to lose. And I just don't understand it. 

If we give Ukraine to Russia - it will be a clear sign to China that they can take Taiwan! I mean, what is up with the Republican Party these days? Really makes me wonder where the financial interests lie. 

I've said since the beginning that Russia was weak. But weak people do crazy things.

It's the biggest non mystery in history.

 

This is not odd at all! It turns out if you let people die at this rate - inflation becomes very intense. I'm old enough to remember when just letting the baby boomers retire was a HUGE deal. But letting close to 10,000 die a month, does nothing apparently. 

I want to blame the Government, but really it's people who thought eugenics was the way to go. So, they didn't have to lift a finger to make anything better.

 

THESE PEOPLE ARE NEVER COMING BACK! You shouldn't have to be infected with SARS to care. Instead you will be forced to care in the prices you pay.

From the sky.

 

This is the solar generating plant right outside of Vegas.

Honestly, I only took this shot because camera phones are getting amazing.

Okay, maybe the cars were a bust.....but

Here is an interesting concept bike. Although, when I saw a humman on it, I thought it was waaay too bulkey.

 

There weren't really any great concept cars this year. But they have been displaying these "pod" cars for a handful of years.

The backs of the seats were monitors. So that was kind of interesting. Not a monitor in the seat. The seat was a monitor.

I went. I saw. I left early.

 

You will notice absolutely nothing different this year. The issue is that most  sectors are mature now - like cars, 3D printing, etc. The media seemed really excited about transparent TV's,  but I was covering these in 2016 - so I didn't even take photos. I actually started seeing them in stores in 2017.

So, I went back to the airport and read twitter for three hours waiting for my flight. And basically listened to people cough. If you want to know how sick the nation is......take a flight and just listen to how much coughing is happening. This is our life now. 

If you have problems reading about COVID, just leave this blog this year. I'm not pretending it doesn't exist.
