El Nacional, a newspaper in the Dominican Republic ran this.

Lol i hope the protests continue indefinitely outside the white house until this dude gets impeached

What Trump doesn't understand is that leaders get their legitimacy from the people. You lose that, and nothing guarantees that even your inner circle won't turn on you. By refusing to bring those who didn't vote for him into the fold (not the people, but those he is supposed to govern with), he has delegitimized himself. He can hide at Mar a Lago all he wants, but he has to answer to all of us, not just his base.

Hahahahahahhahahaa + 1 for Dominicans

Don't sleep on the humor, NH a weird breed of Dominican

umm yeah you would because,


-you still can't pack da same amount of energy in storage to go anywhere far


-charging is still slow.


-battery weight to compares to a tank of gas of comparable energy is laughable right now.

Either you aren't reading or you don't understand what the words "energy" and "density" mean. 

This goes for you and your political views.

what part of "you can't pack da same amount of energy per volume in some batteries that gasoline currently enjoys" you don't understand?

there's a reason gasoline been da dominant energy source for centuries.

Your persistence in being willfully ignorant is offensive.

Boris is right, you're wrong, and that's it.

How energy efficient are electric motors compared to combustion engines?
Using contemporary technology

To expand upon Nathan Kaemingk's answer and put some numbers to it from a vehicle perspective:

Consider the Tesla Model S, which has an available 85kWh battery and a 265 mile range.

Consider a similar gas-powered car, which gets 35 mpg.

Gasoline contains about 33kwh of energy per gallon.

The Tesla uses 320 Wh/mile of energy (85kWh/265 miles)

The gas powered car uses 940 Wh/mile of energy (33kWh/35 miles)

Once the energy is onboard (not counting the efficiency of the power generation, oil refining, or charging), the Tesla is using only about a third as much energy as the comparable gasoline-powered car.

On a per mile basis, the Tesla uses less energy than a gasoline car, therefore it doesn't need high energy density fuel. Why? Because the Tesla is more efficient

Deal with it.

it doesn't matter if da engine is more efficient when it CAN'T STORE ENOUGH ENERGY to use to be more efficient

why do u think Telsa is investing on a network of charging stations? [emoji]129300[/emoji]

Same reason you have gas stations? What kind of rhetorical question was that b?

Priceless

Lol at people seriously arguing anything with this boy.

Hilary didn't talk about jobs. I can't get past her emails. He's just talking big.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...could-make-trump-tax-returns-public/97788564/

A New Jersey congressman says a rarely invoked 1924 law could be used to examine President Donald Trump's tax returns for possible conflicts of interest and Constitutional violations.

Rep. Bill Pascrell, a Democrat who serves on the Ways and Means Committee, has asked the committee’s chairman, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, to order the Treasury Department to provide tax returns to the committee. Brady's office did not respond to a request for comment Friday.
After privately examining returns — Pascrell is seeking 10 years' worth — the committee could decide to share them with the full House, which would in effect make them public. The 1924 law gives congressional committees that set tax policy the power to examine tax returns. It was used in 1974 when Congress looked at President Richard Nixon's returns, and in 2014 when the Ways and Means Committee released confidential tax information as part of its investigation into the Internal Revenue Service's handling of applications for nonprofit status.

...

Pascrell said foreign governments are paying rents, licensing fees, and issuing permits for Trump Organization projects, all of which could be used to influence the president.The letter asked Brady to reply by Wednesday.
“If I get a ‘no’ answer on this, I’ll be very honest with you: If these guys think I’m walking away from this, they’re absolutely nuts," Pascrell said. "The calls we’re getting, the calls other congressmen are getting, it’s unbelievable, we never expected this.”

Yes they did, they were outchea on the campaigning trail supporting her piece of **** father. She sat in on meetings during the transition and her husband in an adviser. Their hands are dirty.

Ivanka on FDB status too.

Melania looks like her hands are forced though, she looks like the saddest human being on the planet all the time. Ol girl can't even speak English, she just wants to sell jewelry and Trump had to ruin her simple life. 


I mean I suspect they are going along with it cause they have to but I bet this whole thing MIGHT be a curse for them. 

Nah man, same for Meliana she was co-signing that birther nonsense. I know you like to save the [emoji]128007[/emoji] but you're misguided in this case.
