Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

Dershowitz: I was inside the court when the judge closed the Trump trial, and what I saw shocked me
The judge actually threatened to strike all of Costello’s testimony if he raised his eyebrows again.
There is absolutely no good reason why a trial of this importance, or any trial, should not be televised live and in real time. Allowing the public to see their courts in action is the best guarantee of fairness. As Justice Louis Brandeis wisely said a century ago, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
Does this mean the tribunals will be televised?
from Twitter
THE DEFENSE RESTS.
Trump will not testify.
Robert Costello was back on the stand this morning.
Costello said he felt he was representing Cohen as his lawyer. The prosecution tried to say he was actually representing Trump's interests.
They got him to admit that Cohen never signed a legal retainer and that at one point Cohen said him an email to "cease" contacting him. Cohen was under FBI investigation at the time and would eventually go to jail. Costello was shown several of his emails mentioning Giuliani and things like "friends in high places."
He sent this email shortly before Cohen hired another lawyer.
Email from Costello to his partner on June 22, 2018, subject line "Michael Cohen."
"Cohen has to know this yet he continues to slow play us and the President-is he totally nuts???
[...] What should I say to this asshole? He is playing with the most powerful man on the planet."
Trump's lawyer
Q: Did you ever pressure Michael Cohen to do anything? A: I did not.
Q: Did you ever have control over Michael Cohen?
Costello says he did not.
Bove notes that Costello's "friends in high places" email begins "Attorney Client Communication Privileged."
Costello confirms that he believed that was true, and Cohen didn't dispute the characterization in a follow-up email, before cutting ties with him.
Costello said Cohen was slow playing him by not signing the retainer agreement.
Lots of sustained objections during this testimony.
New $120K Tesla Cybertruck BREAKS DOWN After Running Just 35 Miles
Another Cybertruck owner has reported technical issues with his brand-new electric pickup after driving no more than 35 miles.
Jason Jones purchased his new Cybertruck in Pensacola, Florida on May 9, spending $119,990 on the "Cyberbeast" variant of the Cybertruck. He picked it up at the Tesla Service Center and drove 35 miles to a nearby Supercharger station in Crestview on his way home to Destin. But as he was charging the truck, it began leaking coolant from the rear.
Jones immediately called Tesla's customer service for assistance, but to his surprise, coolant leaks were not covered under warranty. He then posted about his situation on X with an accompanying picture of his Cybertruck.
"@elonmusk Broke down 35 miles from delivery @Tesla Pensacola with my new CyberBeast. Called Tesla service and the rep told me Tesla doesn't cover coolant leaks. They did end up sending a tow truck. No delivery experience at all and the truck was very dirty at pick up," wrote Jones.
Jones also posted his frustration over the condition of the truck at the Pensacola service center.
"The other thing that really frustrates me… is, when I picked it up … the truck was very dirty outside and [had] issues inside. Charge was 47 percent… I've never picked up a new car without a full tank of gas. WTF Tesla?" Jason wrote.
He also voiced all this frustration on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum. And only when his posts went viral did Tesla take immediate action.
Tesla Cybertruck issues continue to pile up
Reports of Tesla's Cybertruck experiencing grave malfunctions started popping up almost immediately after it entered the market. The situation with Jones' Cyberbeast adds to the long list of incidents that occur immediately after purchase of the electric trucks.
Aside from the coolant leak incident, new owners are reporting accelerator pedal flaws, software glitches, rust, brake failures, easily soiled exteriors and panel misalignment.
"The cover may separate and get stuck behind the trim, which could potentially lead to several accidents," an X user posted along with a video showing that the pedal’s cover had come apart. "This is a prime example of cheap engineering and the cost of going too cheap and too simple … something @Tesla is known for."
New owners have also raised complaints with the initial batch of Basecamp tents, advertised as luxury camping solutions with seamless attachment to the Cybertruck's rear, as "unpolished homeless encampments" and a "monumental failure" despite promises of an "ultra-soft mattress" and an "enhanced camping experience."
In another setback, a Tesla Cybertruck stranded on the Corral Hollow OHV (off-highway vehicle) Trail in Bear Valley, California, suffered from software glitches that affected its traction control and tire deflation. Rescuers found that the truck had no proper tow points, which forced them to attach ropes to the suspension for recovery.
Moreover, other Cybertruck owners in California have reported seeing "orangish tints and spots" indicative of rust after rain exposure, despite its "ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskeleton" meant to minimize dents, damage and corrosion. Another video that went viral in December showed how a Tesla Cybertruck, carrying a Christmas tree, experienced brake failure, while struggling on the snowy off-road hill in California's Stanislaus National Forest.

Its become clear that one aspect of their vote rigging operation is to have thousands of ballots magically appear in the middle of the night, while everyone has gone to sleep.
We all saw the 2020 charts depicting vote counts, and Biden magically went vertical in the middle of the night, leap-frogging over Trump.
It seems what they do is have a secret warehouse full of fake ballots that are already filled out, and they just ship over a truckload of ballots in the middle of the night.
But they have to get a number of ballots that is useful, yet still plausible.
what i mean is, theres no sense cheating with just 1 ballot, because thats not enough to change the outcome of the election. they need to cheat with enough ballots to not only overcome the difference, but to also put the election result so far ahead that it precludes an automatic re-count or additional scrutiny.
So, they need a number of ballots between 1 and 1,000,000…
But how many, exactly?
thats why they have to have an enormous supply of ballots, to fill any size order, on very short notice.
So how big is the order?
The urban counties wait for the rural counties to report, and go to sleep.
Then the urban counties do some quick math, and order up how many ballots they need. The ballots are shippped over within minutes, and the urban vote counters spend all night working really-really hard, counting the fake ballots.
So the rural counties just have to refuse to report until the urban counties have reported,
and maybe the rural counties could offer to send in some vote counters to help the urban counties, if they are short-handed and over-worked, i mean, why should urban vote counters be expected to stay up all night counting ballots? especially when they could share the work and get done in a more timely manner?
Also, We need to purge every voter roll, in every county, after every election. This is how we get rid of dead people, people who moved away, ghost voters, etc
