The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

Can't quite figure her out, she's acting almost 180 degrees from her days in the state house.

Maybe she's just smart, knowing if she goes all out squad, she has no chance of re-election, and she's pissing off the AZ socialists, so I'm good with that.
 
The pic of her in the thigh high boots was awesome.

She squeeked by in the 2018 election, and knows that she is toast in the next election, an off-year election in 2024, if she goes full (D)imtard.
 
Hamza bin Laden, son of terrorist Obama bin Laden, has been killed.

Did they decide not to capture him, kill him instead, shoot him dozens of times in the face, then dump his body overboard out to sea?

Cause that brought CLOSURE!

Trump Administration Terminates California's Unlawful Power over Auto Industry

Today, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) took the first step towards finalizing the proposed Safer, Affordable, Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles rule by issuing a final action entitled the “One National Program Rule.” The rule “will enable the federal government to provide nationwide uniform fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards for automobiles and light duty trucks,” the agencies state in their press release.

Pursuant to Congress’s mandate in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, only the federal government may set fuel economy standards, and state and local governments may not establish their own separate fuel economy standards. This includes state laws that substantially affect fuel economy standards (such as tailpipe greenhouse emissions standards and zero-emissions vehicle mandates).
In addition, the EPA is withdrawing the 2013 Clean Air Act waiver that authorized California to pursue its own tailpipe greenhouse gas emission (fuel economy) standard and zero-emissions vehicle mandate. As a result, these two programs are also prohibited by the Clean Air Act.
Moving forward, California must continue to enforce its programs to address smog and other forms of traditional air pollution caused by motor vehicles. The state must redouble its efforts to address the worst air quality in the United States and finally achieve compliance with EPA’s National Ambient Air Quality Standards, where for decades it has failed to address serious, severe, and extreme non-compliance status in several areas within the state.

This is a momentous achievement for Team Trump. The One National Program Rule is a legal framework for regime change. It terminates California’s unlawful 10-year reign over national fuel economy policy.

The One National Program Rule will also dissolve the regulatory sword of Damocles that has been hanging over the U.S. auto industry since 2009, when the Obama-era EPA reconsidered and then approved California’s request for Clean Air Act authority to implement its own greenhouse gas motor vehicle standards.

. Consequently, as the new reality sinks in that California is no longer a fuel economy decision maker, automakers should feel free to prioritize the product preferences of consumers over the policy preferences of Sacramento bureaucrats. Whether they realize it or not, U.S. automakers owe the president a big thank you.

Oh...btw, the libs ain't havin it....no sir Trump don't be tellin them what they can and can't do.


A California-led coalition of 24 states and three cities today petitioned the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to declare unlawful the Trump administration’s One National Program Rule, which terminates California’s motor vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards and zero emission vehicle program.

Plaintiffs challenging the One National Program Rule are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, the District of Columbia, Los Angeles, and New York
https://cei.org/blog/progressive-states-petition-court-declare-trump-pre-emption-rule-unlawful

The California-led plaintiffs make no real attempt to disprove the close relationship between motor vehicle greenhouse gas and fuel economy standards. Rather, they argue, citing 2007 federal appeals court cases in Vermont and California, that once the EPA grants California a waiver, under Section 209(b) of Clean Air Act, to implement its own motor vehicle emission standards, those standards become federal standards and, thus, are no longer subject to the EPCA preemption provision, which applies solely to state standards. The EPA granted California’s request for a waiver in July 2009. Hence, plaintiffs claim, EPCA does not preempt it.

Although somewhat clever, that argument does not withstand scrutiny. As the Supreme Court has stated, preemption standards apply “ab initio”—from the beginning. The EPA may lawfully grant a Clean Air Act waiver only for California emission standards that are legally valid. Because greenhouse gas standards are “related to” fuel economy standards, California’s motor vehicle greenhouse gas standards were already null and void before the EPA even decided to review them.

This is a two sided coin fur shur. For years there have been a separate fuel standards ( among other standards ) because Mexifornia considers itself a sovereign nation able to set their own laws independent of the rest of the Country. I wouldn't care personally if it didn't effect the rest of us financially but it does. Oil companies have long espoused the cost of 'special' cafe standards.

Automakers have long griped that they now have to deal with a patchwork of environmental standards around the country. Every car for sale in the US either has to meet the most stringent emissions limit in the country, or carmakers have to design different models for different states. Since California is the largest market for cars, it has effectively pushed the rest of the country toward tougher air pollution rules than the federal government.

Just like about everything I look to buy has this warning..

WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer.”

Which has now morphed into...

“⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including arsenic, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.”

It may be my imagination but I can't remember an item that did not contain this label...jus sayin'

I'm ready to vote yea to them being a separate Country and gettin' it over with.

My OCD takes over when a see a meme that uses the wrong word or has misspellings.
The correct term is "SECEDES" not "SUCCEEDS".

Big difference.

And how do you spell California? The author certainly can't decide.

That's where Bud Durpee is from.

At one time air pollution from cars in CA was bad enough (like 1967) that I don't blame them for wanting separate and more stringent standards but I read an article ten years or so ago that said new cars emitted less pollutants than were in the air already so essentially cars were air purifiers. I don't think we need any tougher pollution and gas mileage standards than we have now. Second, I think we should adopt European standards for emissions and crash protection so that we CAN import some of the European cars that get 50 mpg and people can buy them if they want. I mean, a Fiat Panda is good on gas but one look and you can see that you would lose a collision with a frog. Priorities.

This is what passes for a pickup truck in Italy:

Cushman made one like that too. There are some still behind the barns on a lot of golf courses.

One of the reasons for the size of those vehicles is the narrowness of city streets that were built long before automobiles were even around.
 
I got no problem if CA wants to set its own standards. Neither car makera nor oil companies HAVE to comply, they could just quit doing business in CA, which is what i would do.

Looks like the 1965 Ford Econoline.

Close Boot, but notice the Ford had a real integrated bed and it had a 6 cylinder engine. The imports mostly had drop-side beds and little 1.4 liter engines. If I recall correctly, GM took over Izuzu and built them down in Columbia for a spell.

BTW,,,you see that Econoline is gettin' some decent money nowadays.

Alright, enough motorhead stuff...back to winning
