That is a terrific idea. Similar to a trap door in a canoe

Ethics concerns be damned.

I bought Tesla stocks as well. Pretty obvious move, the EO, wasn't it? If I leave the house on a cloudy day, take an umbrella and it starts raining - is this insider-dressing?

Pelosi purchased the day before the EO was signed. Do you think perhaps Biden discussed any of this with those on Capitol Hill? I would think so yes. Ethically, there is a concern here.

You and Nancy Pelosi are not the same. She has a very high position in the US government and is in the same party as the current President.

She and her husband should have known better.

First thanks to Warhawk for pointing out this potential embarrassing problem and the obvious tit for tat impeachment it could cause, but with Nancy being as high as she is and the numbers game in play right now for the impeachment of Donald Trump ...

The only way she could receive punishment is from her own left wing liberal tribe of the DNC and that ain't going to happen till 2022 with a swing of the Congress into the GOP's favor, but look at what they are doing to Trump after he leaves office ...

Couldn't that apply to little Miss I ain't done anything wrong lady Nancy

Yeah... that's what Hitler would do.

Um, you think she might want to make sure the plant stays in California?

I wonder where the Dems learned how to do that?
Did the last admin. install a bunch of judges?

Telsa has more secrets than Nancy does

Tesla’s dirty little secret: Its net profit doesn’t come from selling cars

https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2021/02...-selling-cars/

Tesla posted its first full year of net income in 2020 — but not because of sales to its customers.

Eleven states require automakers sell a certain percentage of zero-emissions vehicles by 2025. If they can’t, the automakers have to buy regulatory credits from another automaker that meets those requirements — such as Tesla, which exclusively sells electric cars.

It’s a lucrative business for Tesla — bringing in $3.3 billion over the course of the last five years, nearly half of that in 2020 alone. The $1.6 billion in regulatory credits it received last year far outweighed Tesla’s net income of $721 million — meaning Tesla would have otherwise posted a net loss in 2020.

“These guys are losing money selling cars. They’re making money selling credits. And the credits are going away,” said Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research and one of the biggest bears on Tesla shares.

Actually no they didn't, the Repubs just filled existing judicial openings. The Dems want to add brand new justices to change the political makeup of the courts. Increase the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen and so forth.

Similar to "redistricting" in some states to sway a majority from county to county. Stacking the deck as it were.

Yeah. They're doing the same thing with Congress by trying to make DC into a state. A district created specifically so that it wouldn't be part of any state they want to make into a state because you know, politics.

There are very simple and easy ways to ensure no fraud occurs.

1. Require every adult to vote, by law, with a fine for not doing so.
2. Require every voter to show proof of ID and proof of signature.
3. Electronic voting machines must not be accessible unless you are physically connecting in person at the machine and manufacturers must publish source code in its entirety.
4. Electronic ballot counting machines must meet the same criteria as electronic voting machines.
5. The laws that are on the books in each state must be adhered to 100% with no exceptions and poll workers should be required by law to report all suspected instances of fraud.
6. All voter rolls must be 100% destroyed and everyone must reapply - it's the only way to eliminate dead people, out of state people, illegal aliens, or the possibility of exploiting the vulnerable.
7. All existing poll workers and supervisors of elections need to be removed from their duties until they've been properly trained.
8. Security cameras shall record over every counting station and shall be maintained for 5 years before being destroyed.
9. Ballots shall be maintained for 5 years before being destroyed.
10. Poll workers shall be randomly assigned from a pool to report to a polling station within 25 miles of their home.
