"The Beast" weighs around 20,000 pounds.
A 20,000-pound vehicle typically exerts a ground pressure on pavement ranging from 65 to 100 PSI (pounds per square inch). This is because a tire's ground pressure directly mirrors its internal air pressure. Heavier vehicles do not necessarily increase PSI; instead, the tire’s contact patch expands to distribute the extra weight .


Not enough PSI to damage thick flexible plastic coating....

The scientific illiteracy here is phenomenal...

 Ex-Trump adviser John Bolton pleads guilty to mishandling classified information
Bolton served as White House national security adviser during Trump’s first term.
NBC

Bolton pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized retention of national defense information out of the 18 with which he was initially charged. He faces a prison sentence of up to 60 months and has agreed to pay $2.25 million, prosecutors said. He is set to be sentenced Oct. 28.

Bolton described the national security information that he retained as an electronic diary entry that he shared with two members of his family.

Bolton was originally indicted in October 2025, charged with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and faced up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine per count, and three years of special release.

On Friday, Chuang reiterated the original counts in the case and asked if Bolton was only pleading guilty to count 12. “Yes, your honor,” Bolton said in court.

Government tends to be not as careful with other people's money as private firms are with their own.
Penalties need to be much more severe for fraud...

It's armored tires are quite a bit more ridged that your typical tire.

"Fox News makes biggest U-turn on Donald Trump to date with humiliating poll results

Fox News aired its own poll showing 68% of Americans disapprove of Donald Trump's handling of the economy, with approval ratings falling to historic lows of just 31% among registered voters."

That's about as low as it could get.  30 percent will support him even if he had advanced Alzheimer's and the constant daily sh1t show was even worse than it is.

Was "sh1t show" a pun?

The problem for republicans is that even if many people like myself are not fans of democrats, we also aren't fans of whatever the eff maga is too.  We also find the constant daily sh1t show to be very tiring and embarrassing.  So, they will lose everyone who isn't a blind fan boy of Trump.  Even when the Soviets were storming Berlin, there was probably 25-30 percent of Germans who just adored Hitler too.  You will always have those types, for both parties.

I won't even pick on him for that.  That's how Trump behaves with people he doesn't like ... makes personal attacks. 

Lots of older people have issues with that.  That's not the problem with him.  It's his behavior that is the problem.  It's like the Jerry springer show ... almost every day.

Vance said be 12 hour news story now

Vance peddles Watergate nonsense as White House tries to rewrite Nixon-era scandal
What the vice president described was more an indictment of our twisted political culture and less a credible effort to downplay Watergate’s seriousness.
MS NOW · ms.now


Earlier this week  Ed Martin, Donald Trump’s highly controversial U.S. pardon attorney, published a bizarre item to social media, arguing that the scandal was a “hoax” orchestrated in part by the CIA.

Martin added, “The only thing worse than the lying CIA is the two-faced liar John Dean [who served as Nixon’s White House counsel] and the fiction-writer [Bob] Woodward. May they suffer in eternity.”

The Republican activist’s claims were ridiculous, but hours later they were nevertheless endorsed by Monica Crowley, a former Fox News personality who currently serves as the Trump administration’s chief of protocol. “President Nixon was the target of a Deep State hoax,” Crowley wrote online while referencing Martin’s tweet. “He will be vindicated.”

House Oversight Chairman James Comer said Friday his committee will issue two subpoenas for billionaire investor Leon Black as part of the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

The dramatic move — in the middle of a closed-door interview with the panel on Capitol Hill — came after Black declined to answer numerous questions about non-disclosure agreements, lawmakers said. The committee issued subpoenas for a deposition and another for information about the NDAs.

“The NDAs are between him and other women,” Comer told reporters. “We want to know was Jeffrey Epstein involved in the NDAs. Was he involved in writing? Was he involved in awarding funds to the women for the NDA? What was the reason for the NDAs?”

Friday’s developments are likely to fuel the argument from some lawmakers and advocates of Epstein survivors that Congress needs to depose key individuals from Epstein’s orbit rather than allowing them to sit for transcribed interviews.

My bro and his wife and sister and her kids are coming over for pizza tonight on my pizza oven.  That's the only pizza I can get that is good around here.  I made the dough and let it rise, then rolled it into balls and put in my fridge wrapped.  You can freeze it too.  I think I want to make some more to freeze.  That would make it easier.  One less thing to do.
