It may seem like you're seeing a lot of Cybertrucks, but that's because you notice every one and say "Ugh, there goes another asshole." Every time you drive somewhere you probably pass 35 Camrys and don't even realize it.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

This is the most accurate headline I’ve seen so far, with lots of media & all the usual Russian shills on here swallowing Putin’s BS. Did he sign the agreement? No. Have they ceased firing? No. We have empty words & caveats - this is no different than what he’s said for 2 years
