The point is, Trump is a fucking idiot. And while the supreme court has made him effectively immune to criminal prosecution, his ability to do almost anything without eventually bumping up against the actual adults in the room is still pretty limited.

The problem is that Trump (if elected) gets to appoint a bunch of yes-man lackeys to all the cabinet positions, meaning that there are fewer of those adults in the toom to stop him from doing stupid shit.

And is exporting a percentage of that hydro to other jurisdictions as well.

the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.

That sounds a lot like a rapist threatening his victim to "just be quiet and take it".

I'm not familiar with Florida strip clubs, but if they're basically a bar (as strip clubs are where I live), I am surprised that staff were ever allowed to be below the drinking age.

If there aren't repercussions for exceeding his authority,

The right all week accused Biden of taking performance enhancing stimulants. I'm unclear where they got that information

If cash is no longer an option, then ever increasing payment fees can become a growing profit center for those banks, credit card companies and payment processors as they gouge the public worse than they already are.

Probably wouldn't be allowed on a plane.

This is how you get Christians to lobby for no religion in schools.

Now if there's an imam to step forward, we could really accelerate this process.

He was worried that a non-American team might actually win the cup.

I would love to see his discomfort if 2 Canadian teams were playing in the final series.

We actually do need 0% emissions and 100% renewables.

Yes. The sooner the better.

But on the way there we have to take the wins we can get and not let perfect be the enemy of good.
