Electrostate vs. Petrostate: Aussi's Grid +41% renwables, America only about 26%
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3060721]Now Australia is the new shining star of what to be? LOL. You need to follow the news better.
[URL]https://ieefa.org/resources/its-time-australia-reduce-its-oil-demand[/URL] [/QUOTE]Not sure what that link and data is suppose to be conclusive data about, since I was never comparing Australia's (or China's) total fossil fuels consumption (China's emissions yes). But thanks, that was nice fossil fuel data about Australia. My post BTW, was referring to the mythical 'baseload' of the South Australian electrical grid.
Nice try, but not quite an "apples to apples" comparison!
Plus I couldn't help but notice the title to your link is [B]"It's time for Australia to reduce its oil demand".[/B] Which is what they are doing, a rate greater than that of [I]the U.S.[/I] However, unlike [I]U.S.,[/I] if you take a look at Australia's (or South Australia's) grid, it is way cleaner and more electrified with renewables than [I]the U.S.[/I] [URL]https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/01/13/australia-adds-7-gw-of-renewables-in-2025-stays-on-track-for-2030-target[/URL].
Not too mention that Australia, is further ahead of [I]the U.S.,[/I] on the hard to abate areas of industry, like mining. So feel free, to go sector by sector on those hard, to abate fossil fuel areas of industry if you like, in a separate post that does industries by a "head-to-head" and "apples-to-apples" comparison?
P.S. BTW, since your MAGA Fuhrer, blew up the Middle East / Gulf region, and the world woke up to double and triple higher fuel prices, and have began to look at transportation alternatives, since when is debating the merits of an "Electrostate vs. Petrostate", just nonsense? If it's just nonsense, feel free to ignore my posts. Which would be too bad, as I do miss your typical MAGA [B]"Gish Gallop"[/B] rebuttals, from time to time!
Job numbers soared in March
[QUOTE=Sirioja;3060971]Too old and senile Trump is used to play bad clown putting messe in everything, killing Americans and making lost jobs and inflation.

Soared? LOL. Only compared to Trump and other GOP Presidents.
[QUOTE=Canada;3061204]Job numbers soared in March. Your misinformation is not holding up.[/QUOTE]"soaring" job numbers for Trump and most other Repub presidents can only be so compared to their own and other Repub presidents' disastrous economic policy results.
No, that's not satire. The real news source links I post to further substantiate a point I make really don't engage in satire in that way.
Now, in the case of Trump, so much as a single net gain job created by the end of his 2nd term vs the day he took office for this 2nd term could reasonably be described as "soaring" compared to the final number of jobs created by the end of his 1st term. Which was fewer than the number of jobs that existed in the USA economy when he first took office in January 2017. Shockingly, Trump is not the only Repub president of the past 100 years who has managed to do that. And a couple of other Repub presidents came pretty damn close to it, especially compared to the jobs creation record for Biden and every other Dem president of the past 100 years.

The crazy MAGA lies repeated by MAGA Bill Maher. Constantly.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3060973]That is what gets me with the Dems. Trump was seen as an antidote to the Dems madness. DEI and a DEI presidential candidate, trans men in women's sports, white men being the root of all evil, out of control censorship, the idiotic lawfare, lying about Biden's mental state, and a rigged primary where the Democratic candidate was picked by the elites. It is important to remember how critical Democratic stupidity was in getting Trump elected.
Thing is Bill Maher warned the Dems. He said Trump was seen as the man who could defend America against all the crazies and Maher acknowledged it unlike other Dems. Thing is you got Tooms blasting Maher as a bothsider and Republicans which cracks me up. [B]Maher was correctly being critical of the Democrats as they were running off of a cliff.[/b]
I think once the Dems have an open primary season and do not rig it, they will get an electable candidate. Trump has gone way too far and alienated even his supporters. He is not working deals but flying off the handle impulsively. While I disagree in part with it, the image of Trump being Israel's beetch is going to bite the Republicans in the butt..[/QUOTE]A true fair and balanced Bothsider is fine. Cite Obama wearing a tan suit in the Oval Office every time you cite Trump leading his mob of cop-killing insurrectionists into bloody battle on American soil to overturn a free and fair election, overthrow American democracy and assassinate a few duly-elected officials along the way including his own Vice President if it makes you happy.
Slam Obama and Biden for not recovering America and the rest of the World from the existential economic Repub Disasters each of them inherited from outgoing Repub administrations fast enough, smoothly enough, perfectly neat, sweet and tidy enough every time you mention in passing that every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction in the Millions of the past 100 years was produced and presided over by Repub Administrations in the first place if you must.
Fair enough.
But that isn't the way MAGA Bill Maher conducts his weekly MAGA Republican Party Election Campaign Rally.
No.
Here is some of the MAGA utter bullshit that MAGA Bill Maher repeats at his weekly Pro MAGA Repub "bothsider" rallies as examples of Drms "running off a cliff":
Dems don't know what a woman is.
Dems think a man can get pregnant.
Dems want to cut off your baby boy's dick and your baby girl's budding breasts.
Dems want everyone to go transgender.
Dems want to defund the police.
Dems want Open Borders.
Dems have no common sense.
Seriously? The one Party that has recovered America and the rest of the World from every Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction of the past 100 years and never once produced one of them is the epitome of Common Sense.
Additionally, MAGA BIll Maher has never met, seen or heard a Dem running for elected office, in a position to legislate or who has ever legislated who believes or pushed for any of those other MAGA Repub lies. Not one. Least of all Kamala Harris.
Anybody and especially Repub MAGA Liar MAGA Bill Maher who believes for one minute and repeatedly asserts that Kamala Harris lost the election by a swing of less than 0. 75 of a single percentage point from Dem to Repub among the Muslim voting demographic spread across the only three swing states that mattered because she actually believes or ran on such utter bullshit is nothing less than a Rabid Repub MAGA Cult Member and far from being a truly fair and balanced bothsider merely stating the data, evidence and facts about both Parties.

MAGA Bill Maher campaigns for Repub MAGAs by repeating MAGA lies about Dems.
[QUOTE=Tiny12;3061300]MAGA Bill Maher, lol. Give us a break.
That explains it! Tooms is closet MAGA! He's trying to rile up the MAGA base, piss them off, so they'll go to the polls.
From your first link: "Everyone should go get your shot," Trump said on Sunday. And, from your link, in December, 2020, he said "I am not scheduled to take the vaccine, but look forward to doing so at the appropriate time. ".
From your second link: ". I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines. " When the crowd booed, ""No, that's OK. That's all right. You got your freedoms. But I happened to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know. OK? I'll call up Alabama, I'll say, hey, you know what? But (the vaccine) is working. ".
Trump said the vaccine saved tens of millions of lives, more than once.
Please recall in the fall of 2020 that Biden and Harris expressed concerns about taking the vaccine, because presumably they thought Trump was rushing it through the approval process. Well, yeah, he was pushing it along. And as a result hundreds of thousands of lives were saved, versus what probably would have happened if Hillary Clinton had been president.
My guess as to the main reason Trump didn't make a public spectacle out of getting the vaccine was because he and Melania were jumping the queue. They both recently had COVID, and I believe the recommendation was to wait until some months after before getting the vaccine. Those shots, given very close to the end of Trump's term, should have gone to a person in his 80's or 90's, who had maybe a 10% to 20% chance of dying if he contracted COVID. .[/QUOTE]Yes, I know Trump said people should take the vaccine too little and too late and wasn't hiding it. You didn't need to uncover it in the link. I quoted it in black highlight in the headline of the report.
MAGA Bill Maher constantly repeats ridiculous and thoroughly debunked MAGA lies about Dems, some of which I cited previously, to make Dems sound utterly unfit to serve in any capacity even in the minds of the least informed voters who might not ever know anything about the consistent 100 year history of Great Repub Depressions, Great Repub Recessions and Massive Repub Jobs Destruction and thereby encourage the support of Repub MAGAs and help them win elections. Doing that while also pawning himself off as an "honest broker of the truth bothsider" does more work for Repub MAGA election hopes than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alex Jones combined.
Meanwhile, I know MAGA Bill Maher knows that Trump is responsible for ushering in Trump's Pandemic more than any other person on the planet and therefore the millions of deaths, worldwide economic collapse, global hyper-inflation, business and school closures, etc that followed by defunding and removing the highly effective Pandemic Prevention and Response teams leadership from those Chinese labs in 2019 contrary to all expert warnings for him not to do something so dangerous and stupid, then even himself admitted in a March 20,2020 recorded interview that if only someone had been there to tell us about those earliest emerging cases "two months sooner, we could have prevented all the trouble and stopped it easily. "
MAGA Bill Maher has known that historic truth for 6 years, through 2 critically important elections in 2022 and 2024.
How do I know he knows it? Because I heard him say it to a guest on his YouTube blog show before the 2022 midterms. Once. Only once. If he ever mentioned it even once on his far more viewed weekly HBO Real Time and Repub MAGA Campaign Rally I did not catch it.
But you could have tuned into his HBO Repub MAGA Campaign Rally any week before the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election and heard him passionately and seriously repeat that utter horseshit about Dems wanting to chop off your baby boy's dick and chop off your baby girl's budding breasts, how they want to defund the police, how Biden had "open borders", the Dems have no common sense, blah blah blah.
Did his weekly repetition of that utter horseshit for years to his supposedly predominantly "Dem audience" convince at least 114,900 of them spread across the only three swing states that mattered to stay home and not bother voting for Kamala Harris in 2024? No way to conclusively know for sure, not as surely as anyone can know the swing in the Muslim community of voters in those three swing states did it for Trump.
But it sure as hell is more likely to have been the reason a relative handful of Dem voters did that due to MAGA Bill Maher's weekly Dem-bashing screeds and lies than anything openly-admitted Repub MAGA hacks like Greene and Jones ever said.
BTW, here is exactly what Kamala Harris said before the election about taking the vaccine regardless whether Trump recommends it or not:
[URL]https://youtu.be/-dAjCeMuXR0?si=t0lVOX31zJ3UVBRT[/URL]
If Hillary Clinton or any other Dem had been president there wouldn't have been a Covid-19 Pandemic because neither she nor any other Dem would have left the world bare-ass naked to preventing it or at least immediately intelligently responding to those earliest emerging cases in those Chinese labs in 2019. Trump defunded and removed the leadership of those highly effective teams from those Chinese labs precisely because it was a program that Obama and Clinton helped to set up when they were setting up the Fast Track Vaccine Development program that got the Trump's Pandemic vaccine invented and distributed so quickly.
The same reason Trump tore up the highly effective Iran Nuclear Deal that he himself twice confirmed was working as planned in 2017 right before he tore it up; it had Obama's "signature" on it.
The truth is the truth it doesn't need to be sugar coated
[QUOTE=Tiny12;3059865]You should read "How to Win Friends and Influence People," by Dale Carnegie.
McCain was a POW for over 5 years. When he ejected from his aircraft he broke both arms and a leg, and received little medical care. The NVA offered him early release because his father was an admiral and he told them to stuff it. He could have avoided torture and solitary confinement by giving propaganda statements. But he did not.
Now McCain did fuck up when he kicked off the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax by passing on the Steele dossier to James Comey. Recall that the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton Campaign funded said dossier. Still Trump had no reason to say what he did about McCain, "He's not a war hero. I like people who weren't captured. " That's rich coming from someone who used bone spurs to avoid getting drafted.

I believe in Karma, John McCain hated Americans and was a traitor ala the Gang of 8 and the Keating 5, brain cancer was too kind to him.
Ben Sasse is a traitor and Karma is serving him up some sweet ass justice as well!

Trump is slowly getting rid of all the jobs Biden created and is creating real jobs in the private sector. Do your homework. Biden was a total failure. Everyone knows it. Even the democrats still in congress know it. He is blackballed by his own party. No Democrat wants Biden campaigning with him or endorsing them. Biden wasn't creating any economy or jobs. The auto pen did all his work. He is and was an embarrassment to the democrats.
