Hillary Clinton is the only prominent Democrat with the experience, the campaign infrastructure, the political know-how, and the proven track record who can win a general election.
Joe Biden in April declared that he was authorizing an historic release of the US strategic petroleum reserves, presenting it as a way to combat 'Putin's Price Hike'. But a large amount has gone abroad.
They are so damned predictable. Every single Republican is worse than the last Republican. Trump was apparently the deepest threat to the republic imaginable...until RON DEATHSANTIS!!!1!!!!1 pic.twitter.com/Zq5376QtVd
To quote a psychotic lrc poster: You elected this, you &^*^$#$ ^&&**((E Republicans.
Seven advisers and allies of Donald J. Trump, including Rudolph W. Giuliani and Senator Lindsey Graham, were subpoenaed on Tuesday in the ongoing criminal investigation in Georgia of election interference by Mr. Trump and his associates. The move was the latest sign that the inquiry has entangled a number of prominent members of Mr. Trump’s orbit, and may cloud the future for the former president.
The subpoenas underscore the breadth of the investigation by Fani T. Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, which encompasses most of Atlanta. She is weighing a range of charges, according to legal filings, including racketeering and conspiracy, and her inquiry has encompassed witnesses from beyond the state. The latest round of subpoenas was reported earlier by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Fulton County investigation is one of several inquiries into efforts by Mr. Trump and his team to overturn the election, but it is the one that appears to put them in the greatest immediate legal jeopardy. A House committee continues to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. And there is an intensifying investigation by the Justice Department into a scheme to create slates of fake presidential electors in 2020.
"We've got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to take this seriously," Harris said to the press and Highland Park residents."
Maybe she quit her day job as an attorney because the only person who talks gobbly gook like she does is her boss. She was actually a practicing attorney???
Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows for her remarks during a visit to Highland Park, Illinois, just one day after the horrific mass shooting that left seven dead.
oil is down to $96/barrel from $122 just a few weeks ago.
stock market might...just....be....finding some footing. But who knows on that one.
Generic ballot has tightened up recently
Odds of a D senate have risen, but still just 50/50
overturning roe will help Ds in many races.
My hope is Liz Cheney declares for president....the mag'a vote and $$ might then be split between desantis and spanky while Liz gets all the actual conservatives plus a ton of indies. And a lot of the money that would have gone to trump otherwise would go to her.
She'll probably lose the prez primary but having someone with her toughness telling the mag'a world exactly what trump is will be very helpful. And she's just better at never-trumping than any of the Ds out there. Tough as nails, able to talk to the right wing, etc.
What does 31 out of 94 mean? 31st most common element? That doesn't tell us whether it is abundant relative to demand.
Back of the envelope math says that with 14 million tons there is enough for the equivalent of 200 million Tesla batteries. Even if that's off by a factor of 10 it's not enough for storage capacity for the US power grid, let alone the world, using current technology.

You Libs just love the RINOs who are anti-Trump like Mitt R or Liz Cheney or all the others. Liz Cheney after this dog-and-pony show, a/k/a the Jan. 6 hearings is part of history never to be heard from again. Britt Hume, who has been around a while, said this is the first hearing where the committe had no members of the opposite party and no cross-examination was allowed. This is like in the last 50 years! It is a sham. Just a joke. Hopefully it ends soon.
Agip, you sure inflation is ending? It is like 2% over in Japan. It was 1.7% when Trump was president. Biden has delivered 8.5% inflation along with all the other terrible things that have occurred under his watch. You are guaranteeing that inflation will be down much lower when it is announced soon? Maybe 5%?

It’s pretty clear that the left is organizing to dump Joe Biden when it becomes evident that he’s a certain loser in 2024. Rather than waiting for a Ted Kennedy-like figure to challenge him in the 2024 primaries, which would likely doom Democrats to certain defeat, the left will need to push him out early, and clear the calendar for one or more Democrats to organize a serious presidential campaign

Liz Cheney would get about 1% of the primary vote. She'd be another ¡Jeb! at best, but probably not even that good, at least ¡Jeb! was a popular governor and could raise a lot of money.

But, but, but "Biden wins if he's breathing!" Where's ginamator?

The problem with Jeb was that he gave no reason to vote for him. No one cared about him and he was boring. Had zero passion.
Conversely, Liz cheney has the fire of a thousand suns inside her, all burning hot and directed at Donald J Trump in a laser. She will get all the anti-spankers and she will do some bad image damage to trump in the primaries and debates. She is fearless and good at poking at trump. No one else will be doing that. She will have an entire lane all to herself.
plus, she is a woman and being insulted and hectored by a middle aged not very attractive woman will drive trump insane. Getting him to lose his temper on camera will be a good goal and will likely happen.
but no, she will not win the primary. Trump owns the GOP. Nice boss you got there.

Jeb was a popular governor- true, but he absolutely sucked as a presidential candidate. He's just another establishment swamp creature just like the useless Cocaine Mitch. Jeb is done and the country is also done with the Bush family, even his son George P. lost his AG race for TX.
Liz is about to get demolished in her primary next month. She will probably go into a big media job next.
This is a good piece - suggests that because of polarization and the ways we use polls to declare our ‘team’ rather than how we vote…makes the generic ballot less predictive.
plus, there are so few purple seats, it’s unlikely the Rs can take too many of them back. So the Rs will probably win the house, but dreams of a giant red wave are probably false because there just aren’t very many seats up for grabs that Rs *can*win from the Ds.
The tried-and-true measure of the House horse race may now be a measure of the national political environment—and its partisan divisions—more than a measure of electoral outcomes.

Yeah and all that passion will get her ~1% of the primary vote. Nobody will even notice she's running.
Republicans who don't like Trump already have like 5 other options. They want someone who is a good presidential candidate, which she is not.
Yes it is. Lithium is 31 out of 94. There is plenty of it out there. It's not rare at all.
LFP batteries do not use cobalt. They are inexpensive and they are perfect for stationary storage.
And as I said, we will soon see sodium-based batteries that don't need lithium either. Many chemistries will work.
There have been plenty of studies on this subject. We can get completely off of fossil fuels for power generation in just 10 years if that's what we decide to do.

If they can get batteries to come down 90% in price from where they are now, they can produce wholesale power using renewables (solar and wind) at $0.15/kWh (about three times the current average of $0.052/kWh). That is the rationale behind the Democrats green new deal. So long as you don't mind paying three times as much for power, it will all work out just fine. I mean, nobody has noticed paying twice as much for gas.
