You’d think a lame duck President would be a little less eager to plant landmines for an incoming administration, but it seems that nothing is off the table at this point.
On Tuesday, the US Department of Energy announced it would offer a direct loan of up to $6.57 billion (including $5.975 billion of principal and $592 million of capitalized interest) to finance Rivian’s EV factory in Stanton Springs North, near the City of Social Circle, Georgia.
As of Monday’s close, [Rivian] shares were down 50% year-to-date, with about 18% of the float short, equal to about 135 million shares.

l think at this point we all gotta realize the lame duck may be so far gone he is utterly unaware of anything other than unsure if he signed some papers recently.
because THAT is pure Demoncrat strategy at this point.
Let them die their inevitable death with their hands in their own pockets
It’s a lame attempt to make Musk shake in his boots.
So, where’s the money for Fisker? Or, the Big Three and their EV follies?????
Let them eat cake.
Next: all college loans forgiven and put on the taxpayers backs. I would have preferred the Biden cartel to simply remove all the ‘T’s’ from the keyboards
In Australia, an incoming government takes over pretty well straight away after it is elected. I think we can see the advantage in that now, as pretty well anything could happen in the U.S. between now and when President Trump is sworn in again… If he is, of course!
If Biden resigns, becomes incapacitated or dies in this interregnum, Harris becomes President. And I can see her puppet masters frantically getting her to declare martial law, arresting all opponents and other people troublesome to them, and rendering the election result null and void. They can’t afford not to.
And if President Trump is assassinated? Well…
It didn’t use to be this way. We used to have a sense of proportion and morality in America, where a sense of decency informed the outgoing party that they were lame ducks … they had no public mandate to do ANYTHING. And so they didn’t.
Now, the Democrats believe in the credo … whatever it takes … regardless. They’re immoral and rotten to the core.
There used to be a time when the Dems didn’t call the R’s “evil nazi’s” all the time. If you convince yourself that the opposition are EVIL than anything you do to them is justified. That’s all there is to it.
A very uncivil war and “they” will lose.
I don’t believe that miscarriage of government will stand. The president on January 20th will stop every giveaway that brandon or his commie handlers can come up with.
The people will revolt and no amount of noodle armed antifa weirdos and DEI infected military soy boys will be able to defeat them.
Rivian won’t exist in 2 years.
So, I, a taxpaying US citizen, am paying for something I’d never buy precisely because it’s something I, along with just about every other taxpaying US citizen, would never buy.
Got it.
Biden wants to go out with a bigger disaster than Solyndra. Always determined to outdo Little Barry.
