Would you expect anything less from PT Barnum Trump?

I am all for solar, and if I lived in SoCal I might have some solar panels on my roof, but I don't. Here in Central PA, we have not seen the sun in a week. I don't care how good your battery is, one can not heat a house on solar in this neck of the woods. OTOH I am sitting on a trillion square feet of clean cheap natural gas so forgive me for advocating for what works.

It only works < half of the time.

Why, with ample oil/coal/gas reserves (a centuries+ worth)? The next reactor license will be for a fusion reactor.

Imagine what we can do with an administration that is not hostile to America's interests. http://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Saudi-Arabia-Surrenders-To-US-Shale.html "It has come about due to Riyadh’s belated, horrified understanding that it has utterly lost control over the energy market, running through its capital reserves in the process. Rather than young, feckless Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman using Saudi Arabia’s John D Rockefeller strategy to permanently drive U.S. shale out of the energy market, the exact opposite result has occurred. Unwittingly, the Saudis have made the Americans the new global energy swing producer, the permanent ceiling for the global price of oil."

And the Russians and Venezuelans

Although I would like to fancy myself an icy veined pragmatic, I find myself drawn to cooking meat over a fire. It must be the Neanderthal in me. In the military we called a fire "ranger television".

Good morrow

The anti gay prop only passed because of the African American vote. It sorta makes my point with regard to gerrymandering. Your biggest strength is your biggest weakness.

It does, however, have a YUGE effect on House and Senate, which are the obstructionists or enablers depending on the year and a person's persuasion. Considering that's a branch of government which approves or denies the wishes of a second filling a third . . . it's not to be lightly dismissed. Except for the inconvenient truth that senate races are statewide and are not subject to gerrymandering shanaganians....you should have learned that in eighth grade civics.

That is what I am talking about; a slight relaxing of overburdensome regulations. Zero downside, thousands of jobs and reduced energy prices for everyone.

That is true, however it would have had no impact on the outcome of the presidential election. We can't go to a sane redistricitring without decimating safe black districts, and the CBC will not allow that to happen.

How does gerrymandering impact national elections? One cannot gerrymander California red anymore than one could gerrymander Utah blue. Congressional district yes, national elections no. BTW the Congressional Black Caucus is perhaps the most egregious gerrymander er.

It was the sentiment that was expressed on several placards during the anti-Trump rallies I was watching this morning.

Those were my thoughts as well. WiFi in my opinion is overkill.

Yeah, I have a controller for my egg smoker, it makes holding 225 much easier then messing with the intake and exhaust valves. Don't get me wrong I love my smoker and would never sous vide a pork butt. (I would have my man card pulled). Sous vide is just another tool in the arsenal.

I got a Gourmia, makes some noise in the wearer level gets low, but it is very easy to use. Unlike my smoker (which I love BTW), you can leave it unintended for a day or two. Another advantage is that your "window of done" is measured in hours not minutes. On the downside, it takes longer than traditional methods and you can't brag about your mad culinary skills because it is so easy. A child can make a perfect brisket with ten minutes of prep.

The Right was mocked and ridiculed by Jon Stewart et al for wanting to "take back their country." I wonder what he thinks now that the shoe is on the other foot.

Just finished a brisket, AMAZING! Perfectly done, full of flavor and ridiculously moist. I am now four for four since getting a sous vide cooker. Steak, chicken, pork chop (best I have ever had) and now brisket. I thought my egg smoker was the sh*t but this is even better. If you are an aspiring cook, check it out.

No, is is posted on whitehouse.gov, it's not promises it's policy.

Still having that reading problem? I wrote: Obviously having a comprehension problem, you should have said "or" as I am still conniption free.

It is a well known fact that Truffula trees do best when CO2 is >400ppm.

"Sound energy policy begins with the recognition that we have vast untapped domestic energy reserves right here in America. The Trump Administration will embrace the shale oil and gas revolution to bring jobs and prosperity to millions of Americans. We must take advantage of the estimated $50 trillion in untapped shale, oil, and natural gas reserves, especially those on federal lands that the American people own. We will use the revenues from energy production to rebuild our roads, schools, bridges and public infrastructure. Less expensive energy will be a big boost to American agriculture, as well." My prayers have been answered!

I have never had a problem with anyone using a TelePrompTer, I was just pointing out that Obama, without his TelePrompTer, is hardly the second coming of William Jennings Bryan. Oh, the vast majority of your links had nothing to do with me.

Why would I do that? It was a very dark speech.
