Like Santos, trump, MTG, etc. facts amount to nothing. Santos was run out because the had actual criminal charges. But when climate change deniers, theocratic government lovers, etc. are the base. As long as McCormick peddles the goods "exaggerated resumes" are a part of the process for GOP carnival barkers.

"Pennsylvania isn’t part of a big, regional program to slash carbon emissions, but coal plants are closing anyway... Pennsylvania’s four other major coal plants are expected to close or stop burning coal by the end of 2028,...The closures reflect the economic and regulatory headwinds facing coal nationwide, which has struggled to compete against cheap natural gas and renewable energy. " Coal, Pennsylvania and the dark ages. Some things never change.

For the first time in SC Brent has seen a ray of light that he might be right about something. Hence the endless toot, toot, toot. Not right that Tesla is going broke like he stated. But a stock price correction is close enough to lean on the horn.

Yep rats, republicans, lizards, reptiles and forever chemicals. They will eat anything to survive, morph into whatever is necessary.

Democratic congressman wants to name MTG as Vladimir Putin’s ‘special envoy’ to Congress Like trump thats not an either-or answer.

Well both MTG and trump have decided that protecting Christianity is more important than world peace or protecting US interests. "The Ukrainian government is attacking Christians; the Ukrainian government is executing priests. Russia is not doing that; they're not attacking Christianity. As a matter of fact, they seem to be protecting it."

No, republicans believe that solar is a bad investment because when the sun stops shining they can laugh at all the liberals for being optimists.

Global energy investment in clean energy and in fossil fuels, 2015-2023 I'll spell it out for you. Worldwide green energy investments surpassed oil and gas by 75% or $750 billion last year. Start some more B.S. threads but this is from the IEA. Its no wonder that you identify so closely with the GOP. Facts don't mean squat with them either.

How exactly does the Liberty University MBA program work? "The world installed 117 gigawatts of new wind power capacity in 2023, a 50% increase from the year before, making it the best year for new wind projects on record, according to a new report by the industry’s trade association." You know that Tesla sales is a small part of the EV equation right? That there is a world outside the US right?

If the mandate of NPR is to report facts wouldn't republicans be excluded by definition?

They had me convinced Russia was a credible military force. US arms exports rose to a new record last year $238 billion. With the US capturing 41% of all sales. Somehow I think Russia will have a harder and harder time peddling weapons to the world. As if they had spare capacity.

The US defense industry spent billions on lobbyists in order to spread fear of the big red Russian war machine.

It could be common to all republicans.

Nailed Brent and the White cream of the GOP that sells that narrative to the uneducated, poor of the GOP base. Even FOX knows that an hour of White work is worth a days labor of a Black or Brown person.

Did you come up with that one by yourself?

Hench the old saw "How much justice can you afford".

Agree. Isolationism has never delivered the island of utopia that its adherents promise.

Agree, considering the remote locations that USPS must deliver mail to and what it charges for letters. What little it charges for small packages internationally. Its a deal for Americans. UPS and Fed-Ex have better tracking and en-route transit standards. But at greater cost. In addition for international shipments USPS is a deal on customs brokerage charges.

Iran is behind Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthi ship sinkers, etc. All involved in the Iranian objective of destroying Israel. US intelligence suggested that an Iranian attack on Israel is likely today and gold is up $40 an ounce. President Biden has stated that an outright attack on Israel by Iran would solicit an American response. Opinions?

Great idea but it seems to me that giving companies like Generac a run for their money is a first objective. All of the conservative Prepper types will need them. You know I'm your biggest fan in SC. How about some stock options for when it goes public?

Well its not looking good. trump killed 400,000 during the Covid crisis. Surely he couldn't kill more during a second presidency? Given the rabid devotions of his base a felony could cause his support to skyrocket. With mothers naming their babies Donald. Republican supporters selling their homes to buy DJT stock. All sorts of other irrational support.... like Brent's.

John McCain, Liz Cheney, ......there must be some others......I guess the good old days are gone.

True but every western government allows the creation of corporate identities. Which doesn't give them the right to vote. Not quite. The executives of the corporation spend the corporations assets to buy political influence. Through cash donations. Through the decision making in where and how corporate assets, i.e. manufacturing assets are distributed. In order to gain political influence and enjoy tax advantages. IMO this is where most people start to criticize the bad conduct of corporations. i.e. when they employ that decision making to take advantage of the power of politicians. Over the power of citizens and the rights of citizens.

If its a lie to force concessions then the government needs to go full Regan. If the corporation is poorly governed then the government needs to let it fail. If the corporation is a good citizen and reasonably run. Then perhaps government concessions should be offered. If thats his point then its up to the government to be an in your face tough negotiator as well. Otherwise the state is subsidizing shareholders and company executives unjustly.
