Your facts are wrong. Here are the facts:

The safest, most efficient, and environmentally friendly way to transport energy is NOT via a pipeline.

The safest, most efficient, and environmentally friendly way to transport energy is via a wire.

Solar panels and windmills don't need rail or trucks or supertankers or leaky pipes. They just need a transmission line.

The windmills in Texas were not very efficient when the cold weather came.

Windmills work great in cold climates. But radical deregulation made sure that everything in Texas was built on the cheap. Neighboring states hit with the same cold weather did just fine because their windmills were built to national standards.

does

'maybe 20 million'

mean

' I am doubling the real number to prove to you how little I know, so don't trust me on anything I post?'

if so, good job, message understood.

10 or 15 years ago it was estimated 12 to 20 million so my 20 million might be lowballing it.

No matter the number, the fact that they are here does not constitute a crisis.

Kamala keeps snapping at interviewers who ask her about the border. She is losing it. Refuses to give a date for when she might visit the border.

you can fire up the trumpist masses with this 'border crisis' garbage but it will only serve to fire up your own kind. Most are going on with their lives and not worrying about a miniscule percentage of the nation sneaking so they can...work.

Sally, 72 million people voting for a known grifter and low-IQ conman whose main focus is stirring up social media and shredding our democracy for personal gain IS A CRISIS. 20 million illegals who work for peanuts, help plug the structural unemployment gap, add to our vibrant culture, massively contribute to our GDP and mostly do things by the book, including paying their taxes... IS NOT A CRISIS.

Separating their children from them at the border, and especially without any contingency plan, CAN BECOME A HUMAN RIGHTS CRISIS.

You and millions feigning concern over a fake border crisis only when a D is POTUS IS A STUPIDITY CRISIS.

You are welcome

Looks like "Santiago Stephen" is just SV under yet another moniker.

Best procedure: As you usually would, just ignore and don't respond. Starve a troll today!

That's "minuscule," dude.

There's another way to look at this trumper evolution. When you step up your lies and fire people up, at some point they expect to see some action to soothe their anger. You can keep deflecting and making excuses, but at some point you have to start delivering. From the lacking GOP enthusiasm behind McCain and Romney, it was becoming clear the mouth breathers were getting tired of seeing no change after so much gaslighting from the GOP and false hope. It was perfect timing with trump because he really started to deliver on their fury and hatred for the libs. He started to change things and in the end fed their rage even more. With trump gone, the GOP has to step up the hate and gaslighting even more to keep the mouth breathers behind them. They also have to continue executing on the expected destruction of our democracy. And they are - rigging elections, mirroring trump's lawlessness and openly advocating for installing an autocracy. If and when the GOP becomes unable to deliver more owning libs and gaslighting, the house of cards collapses.

This whole Barr thing is pretty insane, even if not surprising.. he and trump were outright abusing government power to go after their political adversaries. That is a straight up Putin tactic. Attack the truth, abuse the laws, rig elections... wtf trump lovers

well put.

this is the existential problem facing democracy in the US

Will the R party continue stepping up the crazy in order to keep the trumpists angry and voting? If so, we are in big trouble and expect elections to be overturned in the confederacy.

If the R party accepts that in democracies one side will lose elections and be out of power, and stops the crazy, then we'll be fine.

Much depends on whether the Rs find one politician who can lead the R party in either direction. So much of politics is one one man's influence, not on ideas or platforms or whatnot.

The Dem crisis for years has been that there isn't one guy who can speak for the entire D party.

The Rs found one guy who speaks for their party - trump.

This administration has been a disaster. 👎👎👎👎🤡🤡💤💤💤

Secure the border. As easy as that. Problem solved. Israel did it. We can do it too but Libs don't want a secure border. They want more people to vote for Dems. The number 1 duty of a president is the security of the country. Dems don't want that.

You're willfully ignoring the fact that R presidents haven't done much, if any, better at "securing the boarder" than have Ds. Despite the fact that, yes, Rs typically "want that" more. It IS relatively hard, and not nearly as life-and-death as in Israel's case (and far longer). Sorry it disappoints you, but relatively few Americans agree that we need a few-trillion-dollar Apollo-like wall program.

This seems too rosy. A HUGE part of the problem - and perhaps THE most important part - is that PLENTY of "non-mouth-breathers" are still voting R. Folks you and I went to school with (beyond 12th grade) STILL haven't decided that a party that openly embraces pathological dishonesty, stealing elections, etc., etc. somehow STILL isn't worth sending a negative message to - and voting for Ds, however much they might not like some temporary policy distastefulness (I'm in this group, although not a R). If this wasn't the case, no one would be talking about the Rs ACTUALLY getting back the house and/or senate next year. Extremely disappointing, depressing, and worrisome.

It is great indeed. Wage hikes are terrific!

For example, Chipotle announced they were raising their prices 4% because they had to start paying their workers more. That means a meal that used to cost $10.00 now costs $10.40.

I'll gladly pay the extra 40 cents so that these folks can make a better wage to provide for their families.

And this sort of thing saves the taxpayers a lot of money because well-paid workers qualify for fewer government benefits.

You can already pay more money to them by tipping them 40 cents.

Oh that’s right. You’re one of those religious freaks who likes to stiff wait staff at those after church meals.
