@JeanDarc815@RepThomasMassie Real ID and immigration info have nothing to do with FMCSA, DOT or CDL records...the feds can get literally everything they need on any CDL holder without going through the states.
You're getting things mixed up.
@OldBikerTrucker@RepThomasMassie Ok, so you're saying Trump knows about this and just doesn't care...because economy.
That didn't stop the fat dumbass from starting a dumb war with an entrenched enemy...so I'm not sure why you think that applies here.c
@JeanDarc815@RepThomasMassie CDL-related data is transmitted to the feds as a regular procedure. Every single state, including California.
The feds already have it, which is why Massie can call them out like this.
@RadioFreeTom A similar dichotomy exists in the automotive world...the wrench turners always complain about engineers and designers as if a University of Michigan engineering student is getting the same curriculum as the local auto mechanic school.
@CNN Watching Israel play this senile old fuck like a fiddle has been the funniest part of his second term. Never seen a president become a bitch boy this quickly in our history.
Whatever Putin has on Trump...Israel has something MUCH worse.
@FaytuksWeather They never bring this up when engaging in bad faith discussion about A/C. They call us weak and coddled in the US, but the moment they get what is a very average heat wave, they die by the thousands. Euros and Brits are pig-ignorant morons.
@TheStalwart@HuntClancy If you need AI to effectively communicate, you should not be communicating with people in this manner.
You're essentially advocating for outsourcing communication to an LLM, which makes you fucking stupid...but probably a decent AI prompt creator. But still stupid.
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.
