Actually, Chavistas were scumbags
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3046108]Somebody needs to tell V that Chavez is dead.
You have to wonder how many Dems would have voted for Chavez for president if he would have run as a Democrat. It is clear they adored him.[/QUOTE]Chavistas were the people who shared in the Trillions that Chaves Looted over the last 25 years. If Venezuela returns to a functional state these scumbags will be put in prison. I predict there will be many Lynchings like the French Revolution as Millions were murdered at the hands of these scumbags.
The truth on Wind and Solar. Please Watch.
[QUOTE=Spidy;3046074]Dude, don't be so freakin' naive! Anyway, it doesn't behoove you!
Today, it has never been easier, or taken very much time and / or effort, to research these things. With a quick search and you'll find, China is rapidly building out wind farms, in as little as 30 hours for individual turbines. Overall, the country is installing [I][b]the equivalent of five large nuclear power stations[/b][/I] worth of renewables every week, indicating a very fast buildout pace.

Here are some sobering facts:
It would 500 years for the world's currently largest battery factory "Tesla Plant" to store just one days worth of energy for just the USA. Solar and Wind do not produce energy in low winds or low light so batteries are necessary to produce constant energy.
A single 100 MW wind farm farm requires 900 tons of non renewable plastic.
By 2050, the waste in plastic from just solar panels will double all of today's plastic waste.
1 oil well produces 10 times more energy than one wind turbine, but here is the bad part. Energy storage. It costs 50 cents to store the oil energy from an oil well, but you need $200.00 in batteries to store the same amount of energy from a wind farm.
The more you look into this, the more you realize it just makes no sense.
Your MAGA Fuhrer's attack on Venezuela, was corrupt and illegal to the core!
[QUOTE=Woodman09;3045897]Not illegal -- The fake dementia Joe Presidency wanted scumbag Maduro out too-- Our president is enforcing law according to article 2 --Completely legal to arrest the cumBag Maduro.
Venezuela need and wants the USA to help-- Just ask the millions of Venezuelans celebrating in the streets-.[/QUOTE]The Venezuelan attack was illegal, by your MAGA Fuhrer. Isn't everything he does corrupt and illegal, anyways? LOL!
The attack on Venezuela is considered an illegal violation of the USA Constitution, [U]because it lacked congressional authorization[/U], which is required for military action. This is clearly outlined in [I][b]Article I, Section 8,[/b][/I] which only grants Congress the power to declare war, or acts of aggression on another sovereign entity.
The MAGA dog that caught the Venezuelan car?
[QUOTE=FutureDeadGuy;3046047]And not in a funny way. A sad way.
I'm sure your mind being boggled isn't an unusual event. It's just a knee slapper that you have all these nicknames for the dems, but lose your shit when someone says "diaper donny" or "pete kegsbreath" etc. MAGAs really are children.
No surprise to anyone, but your reading and comprehension skills suffer. Just a casual read through some of the stuff folks have posted her about trump are filled with detail. Just not detail that you can absorb and understand.
[b]Trump has no plan, and you didn't know shit.[/b] They're counting on that though.[/QUOTE]That was a very interesting observational assessment of Elvis 2008, on this take of the ILLEGAL attack on Venezuela, by his MAGA Fuhrer.
The assessment was very astute, since Elvis 2008, prior to the 2024 election was [B]emphatically[/B] crowing, jawboning and blithering on about, how his MAGA Fuhrer would [U]NEVER[/U] put America into yet another senseless war. Suckered again by his Fuhrer!
And as you've said, [NOPARSE]"Trump has no plan", why...because just like Iraq, the MAGA Fuhrer and the clueless Repubs...are just like the [/NOPARSE]proverbial [I][b]"dog that caught the car"[/b][/I].

Of course, Trump had a plan. He always has a plan. And it's always the same plan.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3046104]If you want to criticize his plan, have at it. There's no guarantee his plan is going to work. There is a very real possibility things could be worse not better with Maduro out of power. I pray that is not the case, but capturing Maduro is the easy part. Running the country is the hard part.
But if you say there is no plan, you are suffering from horrible TDS. If there is no plan, what are you griping about?
And who is they? The voices in your head? You might want to seek medical attention for that.[/QUOTE]Like every Repub so-called president before him over the past 100 years, Trump had a plan. And the typical Repub plan is remarkably similar to the same plan Trump has defaulted to his entire life. That's why he chose the Republican Party for his political life instead of the Democratic Party.
Since Repub so-called presidents who take office following a Democratic president over at least the past 100 years have virtually without exception been handed historically positive economic trajectories and jobs creation results, their plan was to do something big, bold, brave, dramatic, different and "entertaining" that will most certainly produce opposite results. Which means they are now duty-bound to do whatever is necessary to reverse those positive economic trajectories into negative trajectories, wipe out millions of jobs and, far, far more often than not plunge America into a Great Depression or Great Depression ASAP, something unheard of during the previous Dem's presidency.
That's much easier than coming in as a Democrat saddled with recovering and pulling America out of those Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Historic Repub Jobs Destruction, right? It sure is! And it a perfect Party for lazy deadbeats and con artists to take refuge.
Again, that is why Trump chose to run as a Repub and not a Dem.
Now, in addition to having decades of experience fucking up, bankrupting, wiping out other peoples' investments and producing nothing but crap results since he was born into great wealth and squandered and lost all of daddy's money as Repubs have done over the past 100 years or more with tax-payers' money, jobs and livelihoods, Trump's plan is also to do whatever it takes to deflect attention from the crap results he just produced in whatever he was up to previously by doing something bigger, bolder and dumber that will almost certainly produce even crappier results.
Hence, invade a sovereign country, kidnap its unelected dictator, declare yourself the new unelected leader of the place, therefore simply another dictator, and leave the colossal mess of crap that idiocy is bound to produce to someone else to clean up. Probably a Dem.
Lather, wash, rinse and repeat.
It's the only plan that has ever worked for him in the past and fits perfectly with what he must have observed has worked for the Repub Party for a long, long time.
So what if wind projects don't work in NJ?
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;3046157][URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LklUVkMPl8g[/URL]
Time Stamp: 2:21. Video is a very non biased practical approach to how effective wind farms are. In some areas, they do kind of make sense if you are ok with giving up that much space.
The coastal shores of the United States makes absolutely no fucking sense what so ever for a wind farm location. We fish these shores, we use them for recreation, many important shipping lanes and harbors run through here. It makes so little fucking sense to build wind farms here it is frightening. Yet the last several years, NJ has to vigorously fight to keep them environment and economy destroying wind farms off our shores.[/QUOTE]Tell that to Britain and China, when both countries are installing wind at a phenomenal pace. With China installing [B]the equivalent of five (5) large nuclear power stations worth of renewables every week. [/B].[/QUOTE]You and I have very different opinion and version of what a scam is and isn't. You think that any crap, your Fuhrer says is a scam, [I]is a scam...it's not![/I] Stop being brainwashed by your Fuhrer!
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;3046157]It is a shame, because as I have said all along, in some scenarios and locations, wind and solar farms can be beneficial. They have unfortunately lost the trust of many people along the east coast because of the lack of transparency in trying to get these built off our shores.

Go research all the whale deaths off Jersey shore. It's not good for the environment.[/QUOTE]So what if wind projects don't work in NJ? The rest of the world will be OK? I hope you get you're so called "cheap" nuclear power, built in NJ?
Why don't you tell Texans it's a SCAM!

Then see previous post where explain wind and solar, work just fine for the rest of the world, in spades in Britain and China, for example. And apparently, boat loads in Texas too!
[QUOTE] For the past 17 years, [b]Texas has led the U.S. in wind energy production.[/b] In 2022, Texas had 40,556 MW of installed capacity more than a quarter of all wind-sourced electricity in the U.S.7 Wind power generation surpassed the states nuclear generation for the first time in 2014 ...

700 bankruptcies and fools are crowing about 1 company saved
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3046163]Yeah, well, that is great, and Spirit has filed for bankruptcy twice since this decision. Oops! So while you are babbling on about Trump causing bankruptcy, this bankruptcy is DIRECTLY due to Biden because if Biden's DOJ lets the merger go through, Spirit is bought out and there is no company to declare bankruptcy.
What you do not get about bankruptcy chapter 11 is that it is a means to shave off debt. You know the same thing you thought was so great with student loans? Cough, cough.
If Spirit files Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Jet Blue and the other airlines will buy the airplanes Spirit has and take over their routes. I mean, I loved that Spirit charged so much less than the other airlines did, and I used them but those cheap fares came at the expense of Spirit shareholders and debt holders. If management does not charge enough for their services, sorry, but that is not on Trump.[/QUOTE]Hooray, for Spirit and Jet Blue, shareholders, holders of their debt and their flying customers. Now if only Jet Blue could come to the rescue of the record level 700 other companies that went into bankruptcy on your MAGA Fuhrer's watch, in 2025? Now wouldn't that be [I][b]something to actually crow about?[/b][/I].
But speaking of unwanted bankruptcies under your MAGA Fuhrer's watch and the shit-show Repub admin, 2026 should be yet another banner year for business and personal bankruptcies, as statistics indicate that 62% of personal bankruptcies are to be filed, due to Repubs not extending ACA medical care.
In 2025, there were approximately 533,949 personal bankruptcy filings, which represented a 12% increase from the previous year. This surge reflects the growing financial pressures faced by many households. [B]The Number of Bankruptcies Is Soaring in 2025, this represents a 15% increase over 2024,[/B] October, 10th 2025 [URL]https://www.capehart.com/the-number-of-bankruptcies-is-soaring-in-2025-consider-taking-steps-to-protect-your-rights-as-a-creditor/[/URL].
No doubt, I'm sure that just warms your bitter cold heart, to see your fellow hardworking Americans, suffering at the hands of your MAGA Fuhrer and shit-show Repubs, over ACA, personal and corporate bankruptcies.
