That's just not reasonably possible in the U.S. If I wanted to go Orlando to Detroit on a train that averaged 100mph without stopping it would take 12-13 hours, not including the trips to and from the train stations boarding etc. To California you'd have to throw another 1,000 miles on to that, so an extra 10 hours. 26-44 hours of travel on a weekend trip sounds horrible. If I were going for a week, sure. (Also a train without stops is hypothetical, it would take longer even if the train could go 150mph)

You only need ~5% of Republicans to not vote or hate Trump enough to say maybe unknown candidate will be better and vote for them.
Can he get 1 in 20 Republicans to think Trump and co are bad? Not sure, but when your enemies want to fight each other, let them
Why do you think that? Do you think Republicans can't get mad enough at each other's words and actions that voter turnout for them wont drop or that some may get pissed and actually vote against someone the hate?
If you go numerically the majority of people who like Musk are Republicans, not Democrats. His views aren't going to suddenly flip and make more people left of MAGA like him.
It seems more likely it would fracture MAGA to me. Let them fight each other. We could definitely use the stalling of shit if there is anything left to save in 2029. The 2026 elections and reactions to by the current legislature before 2027 will play a huge role in figuring out if anything will be salvageable.
I'll have to look it up because I was reading that as he was waving flags supporting Gaza and post stroke everything I've heard is he went from being slightly pro Israel to staunchly pro Israel to the extent that many on his staff were speaking out calling his actions gross and being upset he went back to being on twitter claiming people should protest about women in Israel getting raped when Israel is murdering a whole populous and has many reports of them raping/torturing men/women and such.
I've never heard this before, was this something he did pre or post his medical problems?
The onus is on you to read the article if you are commenting about it. It's like showing up to a book club and asking who, when someone said "I can't believe he stole the car!"
Read the article if it wasn't clear to you whom I was talking about. It should be very clear. I'm sorry I used a term meaning to remove or edit text from a previously created document which is standardly done for legal purposes.
Retract his statements and redact everywhere they put it in text I imagine.
He would need to apologize for defaming someone. It's part of the terms made by his lawyers for them to drop the suit without it going anywhere further from what the article said.
Yeah but I doubt Dominion said we will drop the suit if you have the anchor apologize and redact the comments.
Dominion was likely hurt business wise as they went from making the voting systems for the largest economy on earth to being believed to be a part of a fraud scheme they didnt participate in, which likely loses them future profits
I used to believe the 2 party system made it into teams like sports, but I am thinking it is actually far worse these days. The vast majority of NFL fans for example will shit on their team players who make mistakes or make poor decisions. Drop a pass, keep missing tackles, get a drug charge.. fuck that guy, cut him. When people do fantasy football, or pick football pools of which teams will win or gamble online on games, they won't just pick their players or their team to win if they think they will perform bad and hurt their winnings. People will have bias, but if the Chiefs are playing the Raiders and your a Raiders fan, your still picking the Chiefs to win that game because it will benefit you more at the end of the day.
Party cuts your medical coverage, increases the age you can collect social security (your money you lended the government essentially), or downright deports one of your friends/family, and people still "pick them" to win.
Fox will just redact it and make him make the apology. It won't be sincere, but I assume it gives credence to the case as well if they refuse.
So about 14 hours each way plus traveling to the form the trainstation to your final destination. So I would assume ~30 hours of travel on a weekend. Nope, still rediculous. Also that's a couple hundred miles shorter than Orlando to Denver. Cross country weekend trip just isn't practical without taking a plane.
