So silly.

Literally nothing we're willing to do will stop China from invading Taiwan and winning. We don't have the stomach for that fight. And Chinese sabotage would bring our country to a standstill even if we did.

If Taiwan actually cares about avoiding China's yoke they need to develop, deploy, and be ready to use hundreds of nuclear weapons. Including second strike capability.

If they don't care about defending their own freedom, why should we? Under Trump, we abandon allies we've had for a century, even the White ones. Taiwan clearly can't rely upon us.

Dershowitz Told Trump Constitution Could Support Third Term

I think it's pretty clear to even the mentally infirm, including Donald Trump, that the Constitution allows whatever Trump's SCOTUS says it allows.

Is this news? Does this mean Trump will have to find a new attorney for his next felony trial or something?

Why do you have to turn every post into discussion about Trump?

Putin's Beach says we have no one to blame but ourselves. For not giving Putin Alaska. And oral loving, as he does.

Sure sounds like a black slave name.

Which one of the above are absolute rights protected by the Constitution, deprivation of which would block you from exercising your right to change laws through your elected representative?

GOP suppression of the naturalized citizens vote.

If only it ended there.

The GOP will use this to disenfranchise and discourage from voting everyone who might vote against them.

You want to vote? Prove to us that your parents were here legally, and their parents, and their parents' parents...

Disenfrachisement of all voters who oppose them was always the GOP's endgame. Just as it is with voter ID.

Just in time to inject uncertainty into upcoming elections and supress the vote. And for Trump to declare the results null and void.

I say this with no disrespect. I think you are employing a logical fallacy. You seem to be saying that in the absence of CAFE (which was created in the 70's to explicitly address the oil embargo) nothing is achievable. That we may go back to the stone age of propulsion. Steam will make a comeback (yes, that's an exaggeration).

Plenty is achievable. The question is whether manufacturers will put the resources into achieving what is beneficial to our society and humanity without regulatory pressures.

Since corporations are in the "business" of selling stuff, and not helping humanity, my money is on them continuing to seek profit. There is little profit to be had on a quarterly basis from cutting fuel consumption when it costs the manufacturers sales, because most consumers are far more motivated by sales price than getting a couple more miles to the gallon.

"#19. People care about those things."

They claim to care, but then don't put their money where their mouth is. And they certainly don't care enough to independently decide to pay more to stop poisoning their neighbors. They care enough to install micron air filters in their car cabin to make sure they don't breathe their own smog.

"We aren't the Soviet Union. Central planning results in abject human suffering."
It's a wonder that they didn't stick with the capitalist utopia that existed under their czars

"People still care about fuel economy because it impacts their pocketbook."
Save $10 grand over the life of the car by paying an extra $2 grand now? You're delusional if you think most consumers are going to pay that extra 2 grand.

"Trying to force crappy technology on us diverts precious resources to crappy technology and stifles innovation.

"low emission/cleaner emission vehicles are Crappy Tech"
-BellRinger

And what innovation is needed? Status quo is cheaper, and that's what most consumers care about. No matter the cost to the rest of society. Internalize those costs, like by making everyone who buys a polluting vehicle pay for air filters and electricity to run those filters for everyone else, and you might have a point.

A market will still exist for fuel efficient cars and the automakers will look to seize that market share. Biden's team was trying to force EV's on us in large numbers. Those kinds of controls drive up the fleet costs. You are taking a WAY too narrow look at this.

Those are all more achievable in the absence of a centrally planned energy sector.
#18 | Posted by BellRinger

Yes, let's rely upon 350 million consumers to independently decide to pay a few grand extra. And poison the rest of us when they decide that immediate savings are more important. Like the MAGAts want us to rely upon private charities to keep citizens from starving to death. And we'll keep American dollars flowing to nations that want us destroyed, because freedumb demands it. Because energy independence, clean air, and curbing emission of greenhouse gases are, as you put it, "relics."
