what exactly is their new direction? it has been the maga party for 9 years, and they are not changing until trump is jailed or dead.

Does a dead or jailed trump = changing GOP?  I have concerns.

I don’t care as long as one of these scenarios happens like yesterday 

The left is the party violence. The party of cry babies. They are the "I'm taking my ball and going home." But its more like I'll shoot you first then go home. No thanks hard pass....

I find it very hard to believe you aren't trolling. That someone would be paying to post on this forum and who actually has your feelings... seems unlikely. I hope you're having fun with it. It does keep things a bit more interesting.

Greene won’t be the last Republican resignation before the midterms—due to what they see as the “arrogance of this White House.”

“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen," an anonymous senior House member said. https://trib.al/fq0tJT5

oh please...everything this admin does is revenge and playground bullying. It's fucking pathetic

They are going to do everything they can to discredit Mark Kelly and probably try to take away his military pension. It will get restored once a real president is back in office but the display is just fourth grade bullshit.

Sen. Jim Justice, R-W.V., and his wife have agreed to pay more than $5 million to the IRS in previously unpaid federal income taxes dating back to 2009, according to court records filed Monday.

The West Virginia senator committed to paying that hefty sum just hours after the Justice Department sued him and his wife, Cathy Justice, on behalf of IRS tax collectors, who said they had repeatedly attempted to recover the unpaid taxes, but to no avail, according to a complaint filed.

History will show Mark Kelly is a true hero and these slimy scum who are working to discredit him and threaten him will be shown to be the real traitorous weasels they are.

NEWS: Republicans plan to challenge vehicle-safety mandates, such as automatic emergency braking and alarms that remind drivers a child is in the back seat (WSJ)

People who do not know they have a child in the back seat should not be allowed to drive!

That's some head-scratching shit. 

Actually, it's not. I assume auto manufacturers are in their ears.

I don't think this will actually be that popular with the public. In the US, vehicle safety standards are based entirely on protecting the people in the vehicle. (i.e., it doesn't matter what they'll do to anyone or anything outside the vehicle). People want to feel like they are buying a "safe" vehicle. (That's not actually possible, but some mitigation is).

Our transportation system is undeniably and unavoidably social. Each of us relies on the masses to keep us safe. It's kinda foolish but "I want my car to have safety standards" is probably a pretty popular feeling.

theres a rise in insurance lawsuits from sideswiping semi's. and in general trucking companies face enormous payouts.

we are testing sideview cams and recently installed a system that records like 8k video. the fucking detail is incredible.  we have crash mitagation radar that is tied in with another cam(poor resolution and b/w which is why we adddd the other) that has lane departure warning etc.

while I can say that cms is a huge pain with all the alerts and alarms etc, it has reduced accidents by a large degree. 

that fact these were starting to be added by certain manufacturers is a good thing. and at this point voluntary. maybe thats the point, keep it voluntary and let the market decide.

what the gov does need to imo is have headlight standards. flat out. always on, no bright white etc. and forbid those light bars etc from being used on the road. fucking things are blinding.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has bent his views on state sovereignty to accede to the Trump administration.

“What he’s doing is short-term gain for his political positions ... but not for Texas as a state moving forward,” a law professor said.
