How dare that reporter assume identity? That person should be banned from all future press conferences until providing proof of re-education.

I thought liberals didn’t like electric cars anymore. They don’t like Elon Musk anyway, for reasons that escape me. Maybe it’s because Musk also supports space exploration, which they have often opposed in the past.

OK, dumbass, here's a charging station. Guess what that is to the right of it. It's a diesel generator to power the charging station.

“Let them eat cake”

This may be the defining moment in Biden’s Administration.
