    Some people sit in county jail waiting for their trials. Other people try to steal presidential elections and barely get punished. It mostly depends on what race and especially class you belong to.

    So you're saying the punishment fits the crime. Stealing elections isn't a crime when by Caucasian evangelical birthright they already belong to you.

    IIRC Eastman has argued that because he committed the same crime in a bunch of different states, only one of the cases should be allowed to go forward or it would be Double Jeopardy.

    The judge simply told him no, you don’t get rewarded for being a more ambitious criminal.

    Judge obviously mistaken because he failed to weigh trump in that decision.

    Have they figured out if Trump actually filled his diaper or just farted in court yesterday? Some reports tell how disgusting the smell was, apparently the entire courtroom was able to smell it. ewwwwww

    Oh hell thats old news. The Lincoln project made a video four months ago about it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-4M85B3HNg

    Adam Kinzinger  had this to say about it “It’s not good. The best way to describe it... take armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup and put that all in a blender and bottle that as a cologne,” he said. “That’s kind of that. I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now,” he added.  ...Whiffs of the allegation permeated social media, with the hashtag #TrumpSmellsBad trending on X.

    It could be the reason the trial judge signed a judicial order for the court staff to keep the temperature below 50 F. Others had speculated that it was for environmental reasons.

    George Santos look-alike.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/19/us/politics/dave-mccormick-farm-pennsylvania.html

    David McCormick’s...etc.

    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.

    “Energy transition not happening”

    "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.

    So, first you spend about 4 years telling everybody that Tesla will never pan out...then, in December 2023 you said: "I was wrong about Tesla, full stop" so I guess you were at least acknowledging their successes.

    Now, you're back holding up Tesla's decline and claiming you'd called it all along.  Make up your mind man...for those of us playing the home game, it's hard to keep up!

    A reasonable person could make the argument that Tesla's latest decline has less to do the EV's in general and more to do with Musk's going 'full red pill', combined with many more EV options are coming onto the market...maybe if I had an MBA I'd see it differently though.  

    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.

    Bwahaha! In HR 8035, look at #70 (Moskowitz):

    Renaming 403 Cannon House Office Building the “Neville Chamberlain Room”

    That is MTG's office.

    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."

    ...so is your argument that, as soon as solar power generates 3.5x breakeven energy, the sun stops shining?

    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 finance does not recognize borders but it does recognize winners from losers, and the winners appear to be oil and gas and the losers seem to be renewables.

    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.

    It helps to have between one fifth and one third of your electricity imported from other states.  https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=CA#:~:text=California imports more electricity than,from outside of the state.
    How is “energy transition” going to happen when billions of dollars are flowing out at the time you need billions of dollars to be flowing in?

    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?

    Wrong about what?  That an NPR staffer and self described liberal Democrat said that there were 87 Democrats and zero Republicans on the DC editorial staff. Or that they falsely reported that intelligence agencies claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation AKA hoax?  News flash THEY DID.

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

    The US defense industry and military complex is a VERY profitable process.

    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.

    Didn't you know that Brent was born a white dude in North America not because of luck, but because of his hard work and intelligence?

    If you stupid lefties would only listen to him, and work as hard as he has, you can ALSO be born in the best place and have the best things*! /s

     

    *refer to the other thread "The morbidly rich need to be taxed more" thread for a comprehensive list

    (cue airdvr chiming in that white dudes also struggle...yes, yes they do but that's a different topic...)

    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.

    Being poor also means you can't afford high priced lawyers to delay delay delay delay delay. . . . 

    Justice may be blind** but is certainly amenable to manipulation by the rich and powerful.

    ** If anyone who posts in this forum had committed the crimes that Trump has they would have been living in the Big House long ago. 

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

    The thing is that USPS has to subsidize the delivery of packages to very remote places. It's kind of like public schools -- they have to be able to educate virtually everyone, while private schools can screen out the more expensive kids to educate (or simply open a super-expensive school). 

    With USPS, you can have your letter (which admittedly is getting to be an anachronism) delivered anywhere in the US, including via bush plane in Alaska, for the same price. That has to come somehow. Or we can just say something like "well, you chose Alaska, sucks to be you."

    Wendy P.

    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?

  24. 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?

    Nope, if Trump wins we'll all be looking back at these as the good old days.

    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.
