Interesting article that says that Tesla will just be part of the pack by 2025 in terms of electric car manufacturers. Audi/Volkswagen will lead them all. Scroll down to the chart of electric car manufacturers by 2025.
I'll read the rest later. But that chart at the bottom is ridiculously stupid. Actually, it's so stupid I'm sure it must be an error. It says Tesla will only sell 412,939 cars in 2025. But Tesla already sold 936,172 in 2021 and is expected to sell around 1.4 million in 2022.
And demand for Tesla's vehicles continues to go through the roof. Wait lists are over 12 months for some models, even with massive price increases. The Tesla Model Y I bought a year ago sells for $16,000 more today. Even with the 16K price increase, if you order now you won't get your car until July of 2023.

Mystery solved. Your article was posted several years ago.
Needless to say, its predictions were wildly wrong.
An attempted assassination of a Supreme Court Justice should have put an end to this. But not enough for libs. If this continues, Schumer’s order will be successfully carried out eventually. 👎👎👎👎👎👎
Since the draft Supreme Court opinion on Dobbs was leaked we have witnessed violence and threats against churches, justices and pregnancy centers. But Democrats just shrug.
Today's January 6th hearing will focus on the schemes to pressure state-level officials to unlawfully change election results. It will also focus on the scheme to produce illegal slates of alternate electors in several states.
Now let's review what we know as of today:
On election night, members of Trump's election staff told him it was too close to call. But Trump instead listened to "drunk Rudy", who convinced Trump to go out and say he won.
In the weeks to come, Trump would refuse to listen to everyone who told him there was no fraud that could have changed the outcome. He wouldn't listen to his campaign manager. He wouldn't listen to his campaign's top data expert. And he wouldn't listen to Bill Barr, who investigated all the fraud claims. Even Ivanka knew Trump had lost.
Even though Trump clearly knew he had lost, he promoted the big lie and started plotting a coup.
To understand the background of January 6th, you have to know Trump's plan.
This is outlined in the so-called "Eastman Memo". This is the legal justification for Trump's plan to overturn the election. As we all know, Trump needed Pence to be an arbiter rather than just a vote-counter.
John Eastman, a conservative lawyer working with then-President Donald Trump's legal team, outlined in a two-page memo a scheme to try to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to subvert the Constitution and throw out the 2...
Since Pence would not go along with the plan, they needed to get Pence out of the way. The Eastman memo anticipates this contingency. Step 1 of the memo/plan says:
VP Pence, presiding over the joint session (or Senate Pro Tempore Grassley, if Pence recuses himself)
And the memo/plan ends with this dubious legal opinion:
The fact is that the Constitution assigns this power to the Vice President as the ultimate arbiter. We should take all of our actions with that in mind.
Everything done by the Trump team on January 6th was aimed at stopping Pence. If they could get Pence out of the way, he could be replaced with Grassley or someone else who would do their bidding.
By 2:24pm that day, Trump's militia had taken control of the Capitol. Trump got word from Sen. Tommy Tuberville that Pence had been removed from the floor. That's when Trump sent his tweet instructing the militia to kill him.
Trump tweeted:
“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
They got the message loud and clear. Video shot just 4 minutes after Trump's tweet featured chants of "Hang Mike Pence".
And news reports confirmed that this was the mob's intention.
Jim Bourg, a Reuters picture editor in Washington, said on Twitter: “I heard at least three different rioters at the Capitol say that they hoped to find Vice-President Mike Pence and execute him by hanging him from a Capitol Hill tree as a traitor. It was a common line being repeated. Many more were just talking about how the VP should be executed.”
Pence was eventually moved to an underground parking garage where his motorcade was ready to evacuate him. On the way, Pence would pass only 40 feet from the mob. Pence would be encouraged to get into his armored limo, but apparently, he was afraid that his secret service detail would remove him from the Capitol without his permission. So he refused to get in the car.
The January 6th committee will undoubtedly fill in more details. But make no mistake about it. The plan all along was to "Stop the Steal" by stopping the electoral count and stopping Pence.
The attack on the capitol was no accident. It was not a spontaneous demonstration that got out of hand. It was an orchestrated, violent attack intended as a means to keep Trump in power. Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he illegally sent the crowd to the Capitol that day. It was all part of the plan.
1) I couldn't possibly care less whether or not Boebert was "romping for green."
2) It is exceedingly difficult to determine whether or not the various photos you have provided are of the same woman (I have no idea).
3) Your obsession with Boebert is weird in an uninteresting sort of way.
You'd rather talk about drag queens and groomers, eh? Very odd. You're like the other guy. You care so little about Boebert, you feel emotionally compelled to comment how little you care. A contraindicator belied by an oxymoron. . .
Funny how I do not recall talking about drag queens and groomers. Very odd indeed.
Fascinating bit of detail is that trumpers got to Grassley and told him pence would not be at the counting. In other words the coup was in swing and Republicans were working the levers. And Grassley was probably aboard. He said publically that he would replace pence.
Grassley had been talked to and he agreed to step into pence’s shoes. Probably to overturn the vote. Amazing stuff. I would love to know who talked to Grassley and what he said.

Are we talking the Jan. 6 insurrection or the June 16 insurrection. The Jan. 6 might have to get in line.

I've been wondering about that. Grassley's staff says he was not approached about the matter. But that does raise the question about what prompted him to talk publicly about replacing Pence.
Do you have a source that says Grassley actually was approached about it before January 6th?
