Another example of democrats giving out 'trophies' for honorable mention--in this case, inviting Iowa (who lost) to attend the standard White House victory ceremony with LSU.
I have always believed that the downfall of modern society started with giving trophies to kids that don't win; when you take 'spoils to the victor' out of the picture, we have Lake Wobegon where "all of the children are above average".
In my half-brothers neighborhood, believe it or not, if a birthday party is thrown for a kid, it is expected that the parent(s) of the child give as many presents to the other children who attend as they do their own kid (in the presence of others) so no one 'feels left out'...seriously.

Democrats at it again...aren't they so wonderful and peaceful...they should be proud of themselves over this, because it's such a true reflection of who they are and the causes they stand for, isn't it?

@vtgrad2003; This is a sad day when a freak in a dress is allowed to get away with this kind of insanity. Where are the women, who just a few years ago demanding equal rights? This country is in big trouble.
@opipeman I agree with you 100%...where are all those pussy-hat-wearing, protesting idiots now; they are the ones that should be most offended by this crap. But to be offended by it means that you are going against the democrat platform--remember, you can't think for yourself if you're a democrat...you have to do what others tell you to do and right now, those "others" are telling these women to keep their mouths shut...and they are.
A democrat colleague of mine and me chatted about this yesterday...it's really truly amazing how naïve these people are about the whole electric vehicle topic...they just simply get a non-binary hard-on when they hear the abbreviation "EV".
Anyway, I put forward all the standard sort of 'when it's cold, batteries don't charge very well', 'it costs about 3 to 5,000 to install a home charging kit', 'they can't tow shit, so think about taking a kid to college pulling a u-haul trailer', and the old 'what about disposal and the environment' sort of arguments...and of course, being the good group thinker they are, he ignored these comments.
But what always shuts them down totally is the resale argument that hurts the poor the most. Gas cars, since gas engines last as long as you keep up basic maintenance, hold some level of positive value when sold/traded in, but if someone knows that once they buy a used electric car, they are going to have to dump 15 to 25 grand into it to replace the batteries, then the car is basically worthless.
Of course, he didn't know how to process that information and abruptly walked away.
We have yet to see a significant number of electric vehicles hit the used car market, but once they do in 7 or 8 years, I pity the person that owns one that is nearing its battery life-expectancy and is planning to trade it in or sell it.
Biden unveils toughest-ever car emissions rules in bid to force electric vehicle purchases
So, we have a total idiot running the ATF that doesn't know a damn thing about guns...by his own admission...I guess his expertise is in alcohol and tobacco instead!
ATF director says he's 'not a firearms expert' when asked to define assault weapons he wants to ban
That's similar to what a lot of Texans I know feel about people from California moving into Austin and San Antonio and trying to change those cities into San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Nobody wants an electric car.
Electric cars are not green either.
There is a LOT wrong with this deeply corrupt government
Corrupt is bad enough, but add incompetence on top of that. Watch your knickers.
If Only!
It would solve a shitload of the current problems (As I see it).
