Are you fine with POTUS spending a half a trillion dollars by fiat? Bypassing congress? Ripping up contracts?

Mr. REID. I raise a point of order that the vote on cloture under Rule XXII for all nominations other than for the Supreme Court of the United States is by majority vote.The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the rules, the point of order is not sustained.Mr. REID. I appeal the ruling of the Chair and ask for the yeas and nays.(48–52 vote on upholding ruling of the chair)The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The decision of the Chair is not sustained.The PRESIDENT pro tempore. *** Under the precedent set by the Senate today, November 21, 2013, the threshold for cloture on nominations is now a majority. That is the ruling of the Chair.[7] That Mr Reid would be Senate leader Harry Reid…Democrat

They couldn’t have done it had the Ds did not done away with the filibuster for judicial nominees. With the filibuster in place, nominees would have to have support from both sides of the aisle and thus would naturally be more moderate. The Democrats eliminated the filibuster so they could ram through radical left wing zealots, against the will of the American people driven by their own lust for power. The Republicans simply applied the “turnabout is fair play” doctrine.

I’m pretty sure the Rs are taking full credit for the super-majority of conservatives on the SC and the historical rulings this week. If you want to how this was made possible, look no further than Senate Ds. Hoist by their own petard.

If you don’t like it you can thank Senate Democrat for abolishing the filibuster for judicial nominees. “Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind”

But they are not, so your point is moot

That would be just fine

To paraphrase… ‘I have no idea what I am talking about but I will opine nevertheless’ SCOTUS, stood up for religious freedom, struck a blow against institutional racism and took a stand for personal responsibility. It was a good week.

But a great week for freedom loving Americans as SCOTUS strikes a blow against racism and religious discrimination.

It’s noteworthy how the lefties want to ban speech that confuses their worldview.

The only hope for Democrats is for Trump to get the Republican nomination. This guy would not stand a chance against any other Republican candidate.

Learn to drive a stick in one

I’m afraid that the stories of Trump’s death are greatly exaggerated. I am just hoping that someone will be able to drive a stake into the heart of this political Nosferatu.

I will include the percentage of global sales as well, just for you.

To keep things consistent, I will stick to domestic sales. Although Tesla sales are significant, taken together, EV sales are still a tiny fraction of what traditional vehicles are.

Don’t worry, when i give my mid year update it will be from official government sources. (NOAA, IEA, NSIDC DoE and DoT to name a few)

NASA and the IPCC are not reputable sources?

Given that I never said “mo guns save mo lives” it is a pretty good bet I will be sticking to the topic at hand.

I’m waiting until the year is half over

Don’t worry, I will be giving a mid-year update in a few weeks. It will include the latest on CO2 levels and emissions, coal usage, EV adaptation, energy transition, temperature and weather records (or lack there of) polar ice conditions, and polar bear populations to name a few.

It’s literally the title of the OP.

“We don’t have 12 years to save the climate. We have 14 months,” the now-defunct ThinkProgress predicted 43 months ago. Former French prime minister Laurent Fabius warned 3,239 days ago that the international community had only “500 days to avoid climate chaos.” Earlier, in 2009, Gordon Brown, the U.K.’s prime minister at the time, said we had “fewer than fifty days to save our planet from catastrophe.” Also in 2009, former vice president Al Gore declared that “there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.” In 2013, mid-melt, the Guardian ran the following headline: “US Navy predicts summer ice-free Arctic by 2016.” The ice is still there. “NASA Scientist: We’re Toast,” reads the headline of an Associated Press report from 2008. In 2007, the IPCC predicted the Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035. The U.N.’s chief climate science body retracted the claim in 2010, explaining the prediction wasn’t based on any peer-reviewed data, but on a media interview with a scientist conducted in 1999. In 2006, Gore claimed that unless world leaders took “drastic measures” to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, Earth would surpass the “point of no return” in ten years — a “true planetary emergency,” he called it. The year 2016 came and went, and now we’re being told the early 2030s are the real point of no return. The Guardian, citing a “secret report,” warned in 2004 that “major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.” The year 2022 was the U.K.’s warmest since they started keeping records in 1884. The heat was, of course, blamed on climate change. “U.N. Predicts Disaster If Global Warming Not Checked,” the AP reported in 1989. The report’s opening line reads, “senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” Like Charlie Brown and the football, some folks (too many actually) continue to believe this doomsday nonsense no matter how many times they are proven wrong. I guess it is true that it is easier to fool people than convince them that they have been fooled.

I’m not mad at Target, I am indifferent as I don’t shop there (my wife does). I am just pointing out another case of “woke pandering backfires”. Apparently you are so distressed over this simple fact that you are lashing out and implying that I am a racist. (Typical lefty tactic). BillV is so upset that he is rewriting history to fit his SJW world view. (And to imply I am a racist)
