It's not to appease Republicans, it's to court independents and low-info undecided voters who, for whatever misinformed reason, actually really like slop like this. And we can find some R or former R who will be fine as idk, ambassador to the UN or Sec. of Energy or something.

Bonus if you also won any of those wars and are also the only existent great power that has won any battles involving aircraft carriers.

Makes me think of the fugitive act and its repercussions when I consider the ways the anti-choice states want to drag the rest of us into their regime.

It would also mark the first time a pop vote loser/EC winner was deemed to not have a mandate to govern.

I could understand lawmakers requiring license and registration for class III bikes and prohibiting them from bike lanes.

I have a class I bike and I feel like the fact you have to pedal pretty seriously to get up against the 20mph cap makes you take that speed more seriously than you would if it was throttle only.

The issue here to me is the huge difference between classes of e-bikes and lumping them in together. Class I (pedal assist only and capped at 20mph) is completely different from class III (throttle allowed and capped at 28mph). I’m sure some people find ways to disable caps too.

Wonder how many other unprosecuted car crimes this guy committed before this one

And honestly, drunk is kind of a footnote in this story in that the aggressiveness seems to be the root cause (i.e. aggressive passing on the right of a narrow shoulder-less country road).

Yeah, the four new judges you appoint to the court absolutely will overturn recent precedent. That’s the whole point and it isn’t magic at all.
