  1. The Conservative strategy of firing everybody from their job and cutting all education and medical spending is what is going to get everybody in this country having big families.
  2. Trump demands loyalty but only respects strength. Very difficult to both be strong and a supplicant.
  3. Great. As if raising kids wasn't already expensive enough.
  4. That is a pretty crazy amount of money for doing nothing. Modern business! But in the context of how much Musk is worth isn't much.
  5. Gotcha. That is quite a nice little deal. But that is how the credits are designed to be used right? How lucrative is that for Tesla?
  6. Yeah. The view from Padre has tons of platforms. A few wind turbines wouldn't matter. But I don't think there is any reason to put them out there yet. Cheaper and easier to just put them on land near the coast.
  7. There used to be a right and left wing of both parties. But there haven't been any left wing Republicans since the 1980s I don't think.
  8. Interesting. Explain how that works.
  9. I don't think I have seen a Democratic President so ruthlessly attacked by Democrats and the Democratic Party supporting media as during the NAFTA bill. That was something.
  10. They love what DOGE is doing but doesn't want government employees fired? Clearly they don't know what DOGE is doing.
  11. I think at last half of our entire economy is scam based. That is the only way I can figure out how Elon Musk, who is the CEO of a middling car company that he did not even found, is the world's richest man. At least Henry Ford built lots of cars.
  12. Well he used to talk to people who knew what they were talking about. A few anyway.
  13. I understand the deal will allow European troops to be stationed in Ukraine. If that is true then Ukraine ultimately got what it wanted out of the war and should sign, no matter the cost. That is as good as joining NATO. Better even. And then the Europeans can work on building up their nuclear arsenal.
  14. He promised gays in the military and got us "don't ask, don't tell." Weird for a guy that publicly ran on, and was elected with the expectation of, gays being allowed to serve in the military and delivering DADT and being considered ahead of his voters. I was there, I remember the gays in the military discussion. I seem to recall lots of progressives in 1994 being against the crime bill, but I cannot vouch for their skin color.
  15. It's true. No conservatives are fat.
  16. Very true, that is why Texas is particularly well suited to wind farms. Ultimately they will need to be more efficient so they generate more power with smaller areas, and they are developing in that direction.
  17. What was Bush's fault was pushing for big tax cuts and running up debt, assuring us all that the good times would last forever and we would grow out of it and nothing bad would ever happen. Because that is how economies work. They grow forever and there are never crashes or recessions or anything. Though, even there, that is not really Bush's fault. And frankly that is the point, Bush wasn't some great leader out there steering the ship with radical new ideas, he was entirely in favor of right wing orthodoxy at the time. He was only a cipher.
  18. Yes, debt brought on by mostly due to disastrous Republican tax cuts.
  19. The Czechs took a similar deal and got occupied and eliminated less than a year later. But even if that hadn't happened Ukraine had been part of Russia for over two hundred years. They know what they are fighting to escape.
  20. When the revolution comes they will be easy to access at least.
  21. Yep. I would say we need some guys like this, clearly that is who America loves. But I doubt they could be reliable friends.
  22. Russia gets to keep when it captured plus Ukraine pays a ton to the US is not a peace deal. That is a surrender.
  23. Nice to see us do well in one of those February tournaments. Still lots to work on. Beat these scrubs in the next five games and then off to Las Vegas.
  24. Well that is always tricky. Obviously we need to hold the Democrats responsible for what they do wrong and vote out the bad people. But in doing that you don't want to accidentally encourage people to instead support the far worse Republican Party or one of the several grifting third parties.
