Also Eric Schmitt's dumbass conspiracy theory was based on the idea that the Fulton County DA and the special counsel, both well-known public figures, said "We must discuss our nefarious plan to get Trump. No, a phone call won't do - let's meet in the stands at an NBA game, with cameras everywhere."

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Canadian automakers have developed an EV car that can travel 500+ km on a single charge, shows snow covered lane lines on your windshield on snowy highways, and heatmaps animals on the side of the road so you have a warning about deer and moose at night. This is for us. BRING IT TO MARKET!! 😍❤️🍁
