President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration

[utvolpj]

The dems really shrieked and ranted - went full violent left when the Rs actually (and accidentally) came up with someone who would fight back. Trump basically stole the GOP nomination from the establishment because people to the right of center were tired of the junk (like Romney, McCain, etc) that the republicans were pushing. Trump's tactics aren't so different from what tolerant dems do; they just weren't "acceptable" when the dems found they had an opposition that wasn't afraid to fight back their way.

Trump took it because votes were split across too many other candidates. He's also great at marketing something useless as essential

I went to a heat pump years ago when NG appeared to be getting out of control. Electric power is regulated and produced by a mixed generation, but the NG abuse by electric power generators has continued and accelerated largely because of regulators of one kind or another. NG should be reserved for use at the end point rather than conversion of energy from one form to another. Study thermodynamics and you quickly learn that there are significant losses involved in the conversion of power - more conversions do not result in efficiency. We should have been pushing nuclear all along, but regulations and huge capital investments made two cowboys, a jet engine, and a NG gas pipeline king of the hill. We should have been devoting policy toward making nuclear feasible again rather than simply axing coal and promoting quick and irrational fixes.

Nothing you mention addresses the ones already in the US (except for his useless attack on dreamers) or the real need for labor. His idea of reform was propose building a wall and talk about that for the whole term. Trump had a repub Congress so the obstruction claim is pretty weak

I've said many, many times that Biden sucks. That doesn't mean Trump didn't as well

Generally the first step in controlling flooding is to do something about inflow. Calculus and physics trump feelings every day of the week.

As far as the other part. Most parents figure out that if they cave to temper tantrums, they've lost the battle. You give illegals here what they want and it sells the country as a haven for wannabes. Joe changed the policy and the flood followed. I suppose you forgot Reagan played the game once, gave amnesty in exchange for promises of border control, congress continued with wanton neglect, and we're right back to the same damn argument.

Where’s Daniel Dale? CNN’s Lead ‘Fact-Checker’ Goes Missing

Had expressed lack of motivation for scrutinizing 'generally factual' Biden

CNN's top "fact-checker," Daniel Dale, was a fixture on the cable network during Donald Trump's presidency. He was the subject of numerous profiles in other media outlets, which lavished praise on the "virtuoso" journalist, the "firehose" of truth whose "epic and exhaustive" exposés made him the "newest star" on cable news and a hero among #Resistance wine moms.

That was then.

Since Joe Biden, a Democrat, was sworn in as president (and Trump was banned from Twitter), Dale has been conspicuously less prolific, and is no longer a ubiquitous presence on CNN. In mid-September, after months of ruthlessly holding minor Republican officials and cable news personalities to account, the celebrity fact-checker quite literally went missing.

"I'm gone for a while goodbye everybody," Dale tweeted somewhat ominously on Sept. 17, one day after publishing his last known fact-check on the CNN website, about how Trump is a liar who has endorsed a number of Republicans who also lie, including one who described Dale as a "lying #FakeNews snake."

It's unlikely that Dale was suspended or fired from CNN, given that the network seems to let its star personalities get away with pretty much anything, including masturbating in front of their colleagues. It's much more likely that he simply joined the Biden administration. Leaving journalism to work in a (Democratic) presidential administration—and vice versa—is a well-established career path.

You continue to dance around the fact he did not have an immigration policy outside targeting dreamers and replacing existing walls with other poorly built ones. Building a monument is not policy

Did Reagan make a promise with a republican Congress?

Why pick on Trump for that, so are dems and most US corporations. Do you really need an iPhone 53? Have you looked into the great auto vs electronics chip debate? Electronics manufacturers want to continue miniaturization and forced rapid changes in devices ... instant obsolescence. Apple and similar companies love that and eat it up - a never ending need for "new" stuff. Car manufacturers and especially those users like the military and much of industry rely on continuing availability of parts to maintain equipment. That's especially true with equipment subject to certification requirements. It doesn't take a new miniature chip in an onboard auto computer to roll up or down the the windows. Why do you want or need to reinvent the control system for cars when the certification process is long, costly, and you have what you need ... besides dems are going to do away with gas burners anyway.

Massive March Chants 'F Joe Biden' After NYC Suspends Thousands of Unvaccinated School Employees

I wrote previously how the “F Joe Biden” chant made it live to NASCAR. The media tried to spin it as the crowd chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” — the name of the driver, Brandon Brown, who won the NASCAR Xfinity Series race in Talladega. Americans then mocked the media, making “Let’s go Brandon” trend on Twitter, and even Brown himself made reference to the chant.

Today, the chant was very much in evidence in the very blue New York City, with a very poignant reason behind it.

The city has required that teachers and school employees receive at least the first dose of a COVID vaccine by Friday or face being fired.

Many then joined a protest, with thousands of people protesting outside the Education Department building in Brooklyn and marching across the Brooklyn Bridge. They chanted “The system is corrupt,” “f*** Joe Biden and de Blasio,” “Hold the line,” and “We will not comply!” They also carried signs like “My Body My Choice,” “We gave everything and now we’re nothing” and “Choice not Mandates.”

Does it matter? Or are you just OK with bipolar politics, and screw any thought of compromise in determining US policy?

yes it matters. You have to attempt a policy to have a compromise. If you're all the same party how much compromise is really needed?

So would you say that congressional rules should only allow something to pass with 2/3 or 3/5 majority rather than a simple majority? Should we continue to do things like implement garbage legislation like obamaCare because one party has control of congress - if only by a single vote. You know simple democracy is basically mob rule at the end of the day, and there's a reason we aren't one.

Where have I said anything about that? Your goalposts are on wheels

My claim is Trump had a GOP Congress yet attempted no real immigration reform. All those claiming Dem interference seem to avoid that point. Once that switched he feigned outrage and you bought it

Actually when compared to some real "entrepreneurs" like Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg continually selling the unnecessary ... and dems in general, Trump is a piker.

Have we ever simply tried to see if the immigration rules work and determine what might need tweaking? Why continually throw everything out and start again just because the crowd in congress changes? Sorry if you see my thoughts as inconsistent, but "goalposts on wheels" is precisely the definition of bipolar government, and bipolar government is precisely what you get when things pass or fail with a simple majority - especially when the makeup is subject to the whims of the electorate liking or disliking the current president. We are becoming a more and more irrational society because we have a more and more irrational leadership and whiplash policy.

You see the need for immigrant labor when our industry decreased as jobs were off-shored and entire occupations wiped out as exacerbated by government policy. Those people became the hardcore unemployed and underemployed - and the "reeducate yourself for better jobs" - college for everybody dems. Why not first address the issue of those people who are "unemployed" because they aren't looking for work - and why they aren't looking for work? BTW, just what the hell are millions of illegal immigrants already here doing if we need more? Something isn't making sense in the supply and demand world when you consider our trade imbalance with China and others.

I am incredibly grateful for a charger where I just lay my phone on it. That plugging in that cord end to my phone was really an incredible task to complete. Amirite?

Yep that’s one of the great fallacies of the EV revolution honestly.

Look at that picture in the post. The Henry Hub is in LA I think. It isn’t expected to change much but NE and CA are toast. Plus literally sitting right on top of the Barnett Shale works in my favor too

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Since you brought the subject up ….

I am going to try to get the aviation community to adopt this as a 'sign off'. When you are changing frequencies, instead of a 'see ya later', throw in a "Let's Go Brandon".

I actually like NG, and the thought of a NG heat pump that doesn't rely on electric power to run the blower and compressor is appealing - but then I don't live in TX, and when the electric power goes out my gas stove and water heater work like a charm. I would have converted to a tankless gas water heater, but the new ones require electric power - I'll take the tank and hot water when the power goes off. In the late 60s the house a couple of Army buddies and I rented on Okinawa had a propane tankless water heater that didn't require electricity - new obviously isn't always better. My big issue with gas it that TVA has a lot of nuclear and hydro generation that keep rates here stable; NG pricing was going all over the place. I generally look at energy need as motive, non-motive, but with some compromise in end use. NG should be considered for motive and end use application - not wasted to produce electricity simply because it's easier to get around regulators and huge construction investment.

So our old house had a heat pump with NG as the emergency heat. Once I educated myself on how the system worked I used emergency heat for our regular heat in the winter and my energy bills went down considerably. We’re NG heat and hot water by my specification to the builder in the new house. But again this is Texas. NG will be cheap here for the rest of my life at least. And I won’t care after that.
