Best case scenario Trump occupies the WH for 4 more years, things begin to improve a bit, THEN we continue the downward slide. I don’t see the rise of another Trump in time to save us. You don’t get one like that but every thousand years or so.

"Muslim immigrants are openly calling for "Death to America" IN OUR OWN CITIES.  The regime is openly allowing this,"

It has been my understanding of English that the pronoun "this" refers to something appearing earlier in the text, not later (unless followed by a colon.) And the placement of the comma indicated the completion of the sub-thought. Over the years you have demonstrated, to me at least, that you can articulate your positions very well with little or no ambiguity. I found it striking that you would write something suggesting suppression of free speech, hence the pointed question.
Picky technical semantics.
And I usually support your counterpoints.  But not this time.

Thank you for the correction.
I hope that was sincere and not snarky; like "bless your heart".

The biggest mistake you made was to take one part of a comment without considering the context of the other part.  Just like people do with the 2nd.

Does this mean you want authorities to take legal action or use force against people shouting "Death to America"?
I don't think that's what was meant.  I think it means that we should not be encouraging illegal aliens to enter the country.

JD Vance says what we all feel.

No more aid for Ukraine.

They can't win the war.
Obviously.  I agree that if Ukraine gets no more aid, they can't win the war.

  Our country doesn't have a revenue problem, we have an out of control spending problem
Our spending isn't really out of control.  It is under the control of the politicians we have collectively elected.

Republicans would have a good chance of winning in November, but they are bound and determined to abort that opportunity.  Pun intended.

Spin Zone / Jan 6 charges

Supreme Court to weigh if Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstruction

Defense lawyers say prosecutors improperly stretched the law by charging hundreds with obstruction of an official proceeding

In the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, federal prosecutors had to decide what charges to bring against hundreds of participants in the pro-Trump mob that disrupted the certification of a presidential election for the first time in U.S. history.

In more than 350 cases, they included a federal charge that carries a hefty 20-year maximum penalty and is part of a law enacted after the exposure of massive fraud and shredding of documents during the collapse of the energy giant Enron.

As of this month, more than 100 rioters have been convicted and sentenced under that statute for obstructing or impeding an official proceeding — in this case the joint session of Congress that convened on Jan. 6 to formally certify Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about whether prosecutors improperly stretched the law by charging people with that violation in the first place.

The court’s decision could have political implications for this year’s election, since Donald Trump — the likely Republican nominee — has made accusations of prosecutorial overreach a core part of his appeal to voters. The case could also directly impact Trump’s own trial for allegedly trying to remain in power after his 2020 defeat; two of the four charges he faces are based on the obstruction statute, and he could move to have those charges dismissed if the Supreme Court rules for the rioters.

There is something wonky about that scope.
I agree.

Is it a staged photo-op?
The photo was on the Navy Times web site, until a marine pointed it out.  They pulled the photo.
Also, I don't think anyone puts the front hand grip that far back, except maybe a T-Rex.

Is the scope backwards?
Yes.  Which might make the front post look low too.

Trouble is, our idiot governor has decreed that $89 million will be used to build EV chargers throughout the state. A state with grid problems. The same governor is banning use of natural gas for heating and cooking. He also is trying to eliminate ICE vehicles any way he can.
And there you have it.  The problem isn't with solar or electric.  It is with the idiot you guys elected as governor.  AND with the idiots that all of us put in the White House and Senate.  Yes, WE (the collective WE) elected those idiots.

You need a Ron DeSantis running things for a while.

Also, regarding grid capacity,
Rooftop solar can increase available power without relying on the grid to any great extent.

Oh, but solar is a bad word because liberals like it.

ah, it's the bureaucrats holding back more electricity getting to homes.  Nothing to do with grid capacity, nothing to do with the robustness of the grid (or lack thereof).  It's just the bureaucrats.

got it.
No, you don't got it.

It is not just the bureaucrats.  It is also, as you say, grid capacity.

What you don't seem to get is that grid capacity can be increased.  The problem is that it is hard to do when half the country opposes anything the other half tries to do.

Nothing wrong with the private sector making money on a new technology that SELLS ON ITS OWN MERIT due to market demand. Not artificially forced profits due to their corrupt symbiotic relationship with GOVERNMENT and the POLITICIANS and bureaucrats that control agencies like the EPA.

Jeez Joe. Take off the blinders.
I'm not the one with the blinders on.

Just because you have a place to charge and the money to by an EV, doesn't mean most other people have them. They don't. Most other people live paycheck to paycheck and or need government assistance.
Aw gee.  You forgot to say "it's for the children".

More generation and more distribution will NOT be built in our lifetime.  Not even close. Maybe 50 years and then what will be allowed to power that generation? Solar? HA! Wind? HA!
There is currently more power waiting to join the grid than the total being supplied by the grid today, but the regulatory backlog is over 5 years and growing.
