Cybertrucks are just sitting around, waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.

Hey! You take that back! DeLoreans were always cool cars. Their demise wasn't due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn't survive its initial growth phase.

Nobody despised the DeLorean, or it's owner. They just ran out of money, and he tried a desperate Hail Mary play, that didn't work.

No reason to kill everybody on the planet, but we should start with about 15 whose end would improve the planet.

Now they would have the auctions online, and there would be no opportunity to intimidate them.

EVERY Democrat needs to vote No. This is a requirement. Any Dem who votes for this, or ANY other Republican legislation, should be primaried.

Around 9 a.m., the two Justice Department officials arrived at the library’s James Madison Memorial Building and sought access to the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed there. They brought a letter from the White House declaring that Mr. Blanche was the acting librarian and that he had selected the two men for top roles at the agency.

They were Paul Perkins, an associate deputy attorney general who the letter said would serve as the acting register of copyrights and the director of the Copyright Office, and Brian Nieves, a deputy chief of staff and senior policy counsel who had been designated as the acting deputy librarian. Mr. Trump also fired the previous director of the Copyright Office, Shira Perlmutter, over the weekend, one of the people said.

Staff members at the library balked and called the U.S. Capitol Police as well as their general counsel, Meg Williams, who told the two officials that they were not allowed access to the Copyright Office and asked them to leave, one of the people said.

Mr. Perkins and Mr. Nieves then left the building willingly, accompanied to the door by Ms. Williams. The library’s staff is recognizing Robert Newlen, the principal deputy librarian who was Dr. Hayden’s No. 2, as the acting librarian until it gets direction from Congress, one of the people familiar with the situation said.

Finally, someone behaved like an adult, and prevented arrogant assholes from entering their agency. If they had treated DOGE this way from the beginning, we could have avoided a lot of chaos.

The first time the DOGE Pirates showed up in an agency lobby, they should have been turned away, and if they refused, they should have been arrested. If they continued to resist, with their Blackwater security goons, they should have been shot. I think that should start happening retroactively. Kick them out, refuse to let them return.

They aren't even transferring it, that takes too much time, earning it, stealing it, lobbying congress for tax cuts and loopholes, etc.

Much better to go into the Wall Street casino, and create new money out of thin air. Better yet, create a worthless coin, that doesn't even exist, and tell your idiotic followers to buy it at a ridiculous price. Then make money on the increased value, as well as the exorbitant fees required to buy/sell it.

It is obvious, As predicted, the Tariff Pump & Dump continues. He announces tariffs, the stock market dips and rolls for a while, then he removes the tariffs, and the stock market leaps.

It's the ultimate insider trading scheme, in which the participants get to directly manipulate the market at will.
