When used prices are not significantly lower, it is hard to make that choice over new with a manufacuturer's warranty.

Used prices are ridiculous now.

Plus taxes and registration, which can easily add an extra 10-15% to the cost in many places.

Unlike a couple decsdes ago, the second hand market doesn't really save that much either.

While he has always had incoherent rambling since 2016. It is getting worse over time. Instead of switching aubjects at the end of sentences, he is changing midsentence and having trouble with simple words.

He didn't have issues with saying 'migrant' 8 years ago, but that word is throwing him for a loop regularly now.

His followers don't matter, they are a lost cause.

People who vote party lines or don't really pay attention might be disuaded from voting for him if they are teminded often enough that his cognitive decline might be a reason to not vote for him. Mainly the unaffiliated voters who don't think about things too much and Republicans who want competent evil candidates.

The cognitive issues might be a dealbreaker for those voters.

When the first three results look like high schoolers copied with slight wording changes from the same source and they are all written in an extremely passive tone, my assumption is AI. Questions on things like cooking temps are the worst in my experience, and I assume that is something which is easy to automate.

From the article:

The United States said the hackers sent emails, which included stolen excerpts from Donald Trump's presidential campaign, to staff of his then-rival, Joe Biden. Both presidential candidates said such attempts took place.

I read this as the group attempted to send Trump's email's to staff of both candidate's staff, but maybe it means both candidates confirmed the emails were sent to Biden?

Victims of cults initially fall for positive messaging and are slowly tricked into accepting more and more horrible cult programming over time. MAGA started with the horrible cult programming and there was nothing to fall for.

MAGA is like if Jim Jones started at the step where he was promoting mass suicide.

Is the MAGA cult in the room with you right now?

Not any immigrants, just the ones with darker skin.

Yeah, if you believe the center owner the robot was apparently purchased because of unreliable security staff that were also providing eyes on the scene.
