American Politics

[RamDavidson84]

You're wrong again, as usual, with your baseless claims!

Apparently not, since your Sec. Def. MAGA idiot, lapdog and sycophant, Pete Hegseth, could be facing multiple criminal and war crimes charges. That's a heck of a lot a shit, to be charge with, for something nobody supposedly doesn't give a shit about. BTW, I'm pretty sure those lawmakers, looking to investigate and make any criminal charges, have wayyyyy more than half-a-brain.

Former JAGs say Hegseth, others may have committed war crimes, Dec 1, 2025 https://www.militarytimes.com/news/y...ed-war-crimes/.

I wonder what the Vegas odds are for when your MAGA Fuhrer throws Hegseth under the bus? (...kkkk!) A week from now? A Month? Three Months?

LOL, A whole of charges from the same group of people who falsely impeached Trump twice and made him America's ultimate anti-hero. It's the same divisive shit. War charges for killing narco terrorists who are illegally smuggling in deadly poison which will kill hundreds, maybe thousands of Americans is a total waste of time and further divides the country. Hegseth did nothing wrong in my eyes, but I will admit he doesn't appear to be hardened enough for the job and I am kind of disappointed in him. He doesn't seem like he takes the heat well, unlike Trump who is never phased from the bullshit attacks. Hegseth does need to toughen up if he wants to run that position properly.

Winger bullshitters have been reminding us of that supposed "trend" among scientists in the 1970's that never happened for decades though.

As your NYT article accurately characterized such proclamations; they were "outliers". And there was no such consensus among scientists. It was only that the typically pro Repub Mainstream Media tried to suggest there was. Not surprisingly. Your other links say as much:

Cruz on the Global Cooling Myth and Galileo.

https://www.factcheck.org/2015/03/cr...h-and-galileo/

I remember the magazine covers I even did a school paper, I don't remember the magazine I used either Time or Newsweek.

More bullshit revisionist lies from the NYT and you.

Outliers my ass!! No surprise, you're a pathological LIAR on every single issue.

They are slowly trying to change the fucking narrative like they do with everything!!

https://www.breitbart.com/border/202...peat-offender/

They deserve them.

Our Lord and Savior should scoop them all up all over the country and deport them to LA county instead of Latin America they certainly don't want them back.

They refer to them as "yesterdays trash".

Only problem I see, is that they would cheat the US Census and count them when they apportion house seats.

[KeviKev68]

Yep, all those failed economic policies, leading up to the horrific farmer bailouts (2x now) and handouts (2x now), by the MAGA Fuhrer's and his clown shit-show admin, is once again looking a lot like, right-wing socialism, to the tune of 40 billion ($28 bn 1st term and now $12 bn).

What about the bailout of Argentina to the tune of $20 billion dollars? It would be non starter for the federal government to bail out a state (where Americans live) but it's okay to undercut Americans in agriculture and farming?

[Elvis 2008]

However for the average working American this administration has been hell. Yea Yea, if you're a stock trader you're making bank and 401's are profiting. Odds of a recession in 2026 at 30-40% BTW.

About 60% of American workers have retirement accounts so I do not get how the average worker has been going through hell. And if the average working is in hell right now, what do you call it if there is a recession? Worse than hell? Is there even such a thing? That is what I mean about Democratic arrogance and hyperbole.

Lastly, if everything is so great

I did not say everything was great.

Got to love you vaccine deniers.

Well, vaccines do produce an immune response. The theory of vaccines and with all but two of them it is just theory that boosting the immune system versus some diseases has more benefits than risks. I am a vaccine agnostic then and I am skeptical of anyone who claims to know otherwise. If you are a vaccine believer then, it is NOT based on science.

The crazy part with hepatitis be though is that the virus is spread the same way AIDS is. Is there a problem then with infants shooting up heroin and engaging in anal sex? Uh no, and that means that you do not know if the vaccine really works for decades, but it can do harm. It seems to me that a more targeted approach with at risk adults would make a whole lot more sense than blasting every infant with it.

My Industry has a lot of overlap with the scam known as "Global Warming".

I've been saying for 40 yrs that its a Wall St / CCP hoax, American manufacturing bad, send it all to CCPland.

Does anyone remember the 1970's when the covers of many major magazines were warning of the upcoming ICE AGE any day now.

And then the CCP opened to market reforms and BOOM Overnite Oh Shit Global Warming is going to destroy us all.

China officially opened its doors to market reforms in 1978, a pivotal year marked by Deng Xiaoping's leadership initiating the "Reform and Opening-up" (25913;38761;24320;25918 policy to transition from a centrally planned economy towards a market-oriented system, focusing on agriculture, industry, science, and defense. This era saw the establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) like Shenzhen (1980) and policies encouraging private enterprise, leading to rapid economic growth and poverty reduction.

https://www.factcheck.org/2015/03/cr...h-and-galileo/

Sen. Ted Cruz cited a 1975 Newsweek article on global cooling to question the evidence of global warming, and in the process made several incorrect and unsubstantiated claims.
..........
The article in question was a single-page story published on April 28, 1975, by journalist Peter Gwynne. It did indeed paint an ominous picture of a cooling world, with particular concern regarding reductions to crop yields with cooler temperatures. The article, however, was criticized decades later, in May 2014, by its author.
..........
The survey of the peer-reviewed literature between 1965 and 1979 found only seven papers indicating global cooling compared with 44 papers indicating warming (see chart).

Trump and his Criminals just stole Oil from Venezuela!

Almost forgot. How about that 12 Billion Farmers Bailout, nothing like spending taxpayers dollars to fix a problem you caused.

Sigh! Man, you still do not get it. First off, Bill Gates has just backed off the global warming climate change fiasco. Now that the silicon valley companies need massive power with their AI ventures, it is amazing how the end of the world gloom and doom climate change crap is off the table. Only Algore is still singing that song. Well, Algore and you.

The funny part is that I was looking at a RV and the manufacturer was like "Only set the temperature 20 degrees lower than it is outside or your pipes will freeze". I was like WTF? Oh no, I am going to figure out how to put in a system where I can get 65 degrees inside when it is 100 outside. So I needed not one but two AC units. RV manufacturers now let you put in up to 4 batteries in the typical well for batteries. The most powerful batteries that fit the slot are 12 volts 165 ah. That will run one AC all night. It can be charged via an alternator so just running the RV will charge the battery with a generator as a back up.

With the second AC, to run this on electricity, I would buy a power station, hook up solar panels to it, and give it two added batteries. The RVs I was looking at have a weight carrying capacity between 600 and 2000 pounds. Here is the funny part. The six batteries and the power station weigh about a 1,000 pounds. The cost for this setup is about $10,000 as well. Even with that, I still need to plug into shore power, which is electricity produced mostly with fossil fuels, and have a generator as back up.

Or I can buy a 5500 watt generator that weighs 200 pounds and burn $5 of fuel per night. In this case, alternative energy makes no sense...

From Hawaii, so by proxy I'm a Democrat. Fact being, I'm not a fan of Harris or any of the top democrats in Congress.

Yea, a lot of millionaires, large corporations and billionaire have done well under this administration. However for the average working American this administration has been hell.

Got to love you vaccine deniers. Won't get into name calling, but you should really do some medical research fact checking.

Also, admire your tunnel vision in your praises of Trump. Again, highly recommend you do some fact checking on who really benefits from Trump's so call accomplishments. It's definitely not the majority of Americans. Yea Yea, if you're a stock trader you're making bank and 401's are profiting. But our National Debt is also skyrocketing.

Lastly, if everything is so great. Why the fuck is the administration hiding both the jobs and inflation reports? Odds of a recession in 2026 at 30-40% BTW.

Almost forgot. How about that 12 Billion Farmers Bailout, nothing like spending taxpayers dollars to fix a problem you caused.

Now awaiting for the tab for all the lawsuits that have been or will be filed against this administration over immigration enforcement, especially those that violated court orders and the Constitution.

Yup, it'll be the American Taxpayer that'll foot the bill for these. So, it's all good in Trump land.

[Mosquito2002]

Oh brother. If you are a stock broker and your income is based on market gains, Trump has been a Godsend. If you are overweight without insurance and could not afford the $1000 a month for weight loss treatment but can handle paying the $300 Trump got in negotiations with drug companies, Trump has been a Godsend. If you live in Ukraine, you have seen Trump negotiating like crazy to bring peace to a region whereas Biden did not talk to anyone. Under Trump, there are finally reviews being done on vaccines to see if they do any fucking good at all. So being a child under Trump may mean better health for children. Just recently the incredibly stupid Hepatitis be vaccine being given to newborns was voted against.

But what about Hegseth, ETC ETC? What about them? It is fine for you to not like Trump and say he is not your preferred choice for president. That is your opinion, but the problem with you Democrats is that you are so fucking arrogant you think everyone would be better off with a president Harris. It just shows me what arrogant assholes you Democrats really are. A lot of people have done well under Trump. You are just too arrogant and stupid to see that.

Now that the silicon valley companies need massive power with their AI ventures, it is amazing how the end of the world gloom and doom climate change crap is off the table. Only Algore is still singing that song. Well, Algore and you.

First...Gates, Musk and others are not the first or the last, the spineless, billionaires, to blow like a leaf in the wind, and change their political views, given whatever prevailing new political winds blow in. BTW, Algore is making huge bank, investing in clean energy and environment friendly companies.

The funny part is that I was looking at a RV and the manufacturer was like "Only set the temperature 20 degrees lower than it is outside or your pipes will freeze". I was like WTF? ...

Second...that was a pretty good rant on RVs, ACs and how to keep warm in one. But sounds like a separate convo/debate. If you want to start a side-debate on how to best heat an RV in the electrical age, then set it up for a side debate...I'm game!

Perhaps in the next post, you could kindly explain, WTF vaccines, RVs and ACs have to do with, or dovetail into the changing landscape of global businesses transitioning to more cost effective and efficient BEV trucks from traditional diesel trucks and by doing so, benefit from cost saving of ten of thousands of dollars in ROI?

And I will say this. Now that electricity generation is going to be the key to AI, you Democrats should be pretty damned grateful that there were so many of us Republicans who did not buy into your bullshit climate change theory like Europe did. Electricity is so costly in Europe that AI centers make no sense there. The race to win AI is going to be between China and the USA, the two nations that fought climate change bullshit. It is amazing to see how Europe checked themselves out of the race. Europe was so dumb. Oh, China, you want to build a billion coal plants, and we build none, that is fine with us.

Much of this rant, is pretty much just wholly inaccurate. Both China and Europe are further ahead at becoming electrostate, than the U.S. and therefore perhaps better equipped to handle future AI power needs.

"...and we build none", yeah that's just not even close. Under your dumbass MAGA 2.0 admin, it is actively promoting the coal industry by opening federal lands for coal mining and providing financial support to modernize coal-fired power plants.

It's funny how the cost of electricity was one of the primary issues at the ballot box in the Dems the Big Blue Wave win in the 2025 Nov Elections. So tell me Elvis 2008, who do you think is paying for the current power (and water) needs of AI, data centers and crypto? Also, how do you think the U.S. is going to manage the fast growing power need of AI? Meaning where is the excess power going to be generated from, especially under the current clown shit-show MAGA admin? Is it nuclear? Is it "Drill Baby Drill"? Or just out of thin air?

Climate change was not an economic policy. It was a fucking religion. Still, the entire green revolution was not a bad thing. It is time though to check and see what makes economic sense and what does not and leave the patronizing bullshit behind.

That's exactly what BEV trucks and clean energy systems do,...make economic sense. Pepsi, DHL, Walmart, and increased yoy sales of BEV trucks in Europe and China for example, are proving that over and over again.

It is going to be interesting to see if one voltage wins out, if solar will be incorporated into AC on an individual basis. When you start talking power costs like Europe is paying, having a power station with solar and a portable AC unit makes a lot of sense. The applications are endless.

Third...I've no idea what the hell "...if one voltage wins out" means. But Europe is much further along in electrification and clean energy than you might think, compared with the U.S.

And yes, if by "The applications are endless", you mean creating and storing your own power from solar/batteries (which your dumbass MAGA Fuhrer is trying to shutdown) and electrifying everything, so that countries, states, or individuals have the means to be self-sufficient and self-reliant (and not depend on gov't...something you should understand), then congratulations...you are finally catching on, to what it means to be an electrostate.

[RamDavidson84]

I guess that would be the half-witted, half-brain gullible MAGA Americans, that favor dictators and authoritarian rule of law and don't wish to see due process.

Trumps boat strikes appear quite unpopular, as Americans again support due process, Nov 14,2025 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/p...rocess-polling Most Americans (approx. 64%) do not approve, of the boat strikes, especially the illegal practice of criminal "double tap" war crime strikes.

As always, yet another baseless opinion. Most Americans want the rule of law to be obeyed, facts, evidence and due process, and NOT the lying words of a wannabe dictator or corrupt admin.

MAGA's Hilarious Idea of "Protecting" Americans:

And don't make me laugh, especially about protecting Americans from deadly drugs and drug traffickers. But I guess you didn't get the memo? ... The one where your MAGA Fuhrer, pardoned yet another drug criminal who poisoned, dumped, drugged and killed Americans with 500 tons of cocaine.

Your MAGA Fuhrer's hypocrisy on street-level drug dealers and foot-soldiers boat strikes to "protect" Americans, while pardoning drug kingpins, is hilarious and only serves as pure political cannon fodder for you MAGA suckers, that want to believe those boat strikes are even about protecting Americans from drugs, when fentanyl (killing most Americans) isn't primarily produced out of the Caribbean.

Nope! No one with half a brain gives a shit. Its another kindergarten story time tale told by Dems with no truth to it what so ever. The only people who care are those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, like you. Same thing with this fairy tale Dems are trying to spin about a struggling economy LOL. Economy has been absolutely fine. Every measure is completely acceptable. Just because it didn't boom the way it did during his first term doesn't mean it's bad. But the real disgusting lie, is Dems are actually trying to compare it to 9% inflation Biden / Harris economy. Now that is a fucking joke. 9% inflation in one year is fucking insane, can only be achieved with mega liberal policies like steal from the middle class and give to the poor / those who won't work.

[Elvis 2008]

My take of approval ratings, only shows that 30-36% of Americans are biased uneducated idiots.

Oh brother. If you are a stock broker and your income is based on market gains, Trump has been a Godsend. If you are overweight without insurance and could not afford the $1000 a month for weight loss treatment but can handle paying the $300 Trump got in negotiations with drug companies, Trump has been a Godsend. If you live in Ukraine, you have seen Trump negotiating like crazy to bring peace to a region whereas Biden did not talk to anyone.

It just shows me what arrogant assholes you Democrats really are. A lot of people have done well under Trump. You are just too arrogant and stupid to see that.

[Elvis 2008]

China is quietly destroying, any long-term Western LNG/Hydrogen/Diesel ambitions, of being a major supplier to the Global South, for fueling and supplying heavy & light duty trucks, as new energy and electric Heavy & Light duty truck sales surge.

Sales of new energy heavy trucks in China surged by 175% (yoy) in the first half of 2025, reaching around 76,100 units and capturing a significant portion (about 22-25%) of the new heavy truck sales market, with analysts estimating, sales may reach as much as 60% by early 2026. https://www.reuters.com/sustainabili...na-2025-07-11/.

Los Angeles Times China's diesel trucks are shifting to electric, Nov 27,2025. https://www.latimes.com/environment/...-diesel-demand..

Sigh! Man, you still do not get it. First off, Bill Gates has just backed off the global warming climate change fiasco. Now that the silicon valley companies need massive power with their AI ventures, it is amazing how the end of the world gloom and doom climate change crap is off the table. Only Algore is still singing that song. Well, Algore and you.

Or I can buy a 5500 watt generator that weighs 200 pounds and burn $5 of fuel per night. In this case, alternative energy makes no sense.

I think it is hilarious that people use the term "off grid" in the RV world. First off, the electric RV is not really a thing because of the battery weight. Being "off grid" means you are using diesel or gasoline to drive to where you are going and the term "off grid" does not refer to using a fossil fuel generator although I see no reason why it matters. I can just see some hipster saying, "I use diesel for driving not power. For that I use the sun. " So what? You are burning a helluva more fuel carrying around a 1,000 pounds in batteries.

The only reason battery powered cars make sense then is because of how heavy the engines are. What makes much more sense is the use of solar power and batteries in a stationary environment.

It is not like there are not applications. China using solar to charge batteries and have cars come in and getting a battery change over 5 minutes versus charging up for an hour makes a helluva lot of sense. If you recall, that idiot Biden wanted to spend billions on charging stations.

The good thing is there have been others disgusted with living with 80 degree inside temps in a RV and there has been an explosion of new AC units. This was a fascinating video on which ACs are available and how much energy they use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CXCWdxj22Q

It is going to be interesting to see if one voltage wins out, if solar will be incorporated into AC on an individual basis. When you start talking power costs like Europe is paying, having a power station with solar and a portable AC unit makes a lot of sense. The applications are endless.

Biden had dementia and stage 4 prostate cancer. Harris was a fucking idiot who could not even financially manage her campaign. She would have been a disaster financially managing the country. Your green electric programs led to California's train to nowhere and the moronic billion dollar charging stations that were never built and are not necessary.

But what about Trump and MAGA? What about them? The answer to your party being stupid is pointing a finger at the other party and saying we are better than them? That is pathetic. It means you do not own your own fuckups.

And I will say this. Now that electricity generation is going to be the key to AI, you Democrats should be pretty damned grateful that there were so many of us Republicans who did not buy into your bullshit climate change theory like Europe did. Electricity is so costly in Europe that AI centers make no sense there. The race to win AI is going to be between China and the USA, the two nations that fought climate change bullshit. It is amazing to see how Europe checked themselves out of the race. Europe was so dumb. Oh, China, you want to build a billion coal plants, and we build none, that is fine with us.
