Thankfully republicans are not concerned about any of this. "Just 12% of Republicans and Republican leaners say dealing with climate change should be a top priority for the president and Congress, according to a January 2024 survey. For Republicans, dealing with climate change ranks last among the 20 issues included in the survey.... By contrast, 59% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say climate change should be a top priority for the president and Congress.... 57% of Republicans believe the U.S. should never stop using oil, coal and natural gas.... Overwhelming shares of Democrats who report experiencing extreme weather draw a connection to climate change, with most saying climate change contributed a lot to these events, rather than just a little." PEW March 2024 To be ignorant saves allot of worry.

Don't confuse him.

House GOP moves to rename Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump Melania, an illegal immigrant when she met Trump according to Trump's current ICE policy. Who met Trump through Jeffrey Epstein on the aircraft and first hooked up with Trump on the "Lolita Express". Stealing the honourable Kennedy name is such an appropriate use of the "family values" parties time. "The Boeing had padded floors and a large bed installed so that his guests could have sex with the girls he had lured aboard mid-flight....“When you get inside the aircraft, it’s a playground. Everything lays out to be a bed. That was kind of creepy,” According to Epstein's victims. Perhaps the republican party can buy the aircraft and put it in the Trump library as a homage to the first "lady".

There is not a chance Trump gets anywhere near a Nobel Peace Prize after the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's work in Gaza. Over 875 people have been killed at the four aid sites in Gaza. US-Israeli backed Gaza aid group must be shut down, say 170 charities A former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat, including with machine guns.

Well we are now at least able to define their integrity. That does count for a little.

Yep evangelicals for a start. Oh well they bought the entirety of the Trump ship and knew Lucifer was the captain. Not a peep from stinkpublicans and all his big donors. Trump has seemed to have perfected the art of the shakedown. Paramount buyout approved today after the $16 million dollar bribe was paid. Columbia university paid a $200 million dollar bribe/shakedown. Imagine what a year from now will be like.

Or why Trump's ex-defence lawyer Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, filed an appearance in the case of Ghislaine Maxwell. He is going to make an under the table offer of a pardon in exchange of a couple lies regarding the US president. Eric Adams being the precedent for such corruption. In case nobody noticed we are just six months into the term of the most corrupt leader in the history of the western world.

5-8 solar panels of 400 watts are needed to drive this car BYD Seagull(Caresoft You-Tube review) 60 km a day. Car costs $11,500 USD. Panels, EV battery storage, inverters, cost (Billvon pipe in here). Probably $25,000-$35,000 all in. Naturally republicans go for the $100,000 full load F-250 turbo diesel club cab truck.

I agree with much of that but IMO the leverage they provide for labour and productivity more than pays for itself. The economics of positioning them in Arizona, Texas and dry sunbelt states is a mystery to me. I think they should be just south of the Quebec border to take advantage of cheap hydro-power. But thats likely above my pay grade.

The future of energy is renewable energy. "https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/16/climate/china-us-wind-solar-energy-trumpChina installed more wind and solar power in a single year than the total amount of renewable energy currently operating in the United States." The current republican government has killed renewable clean energy. Its estimated that 21% of global energy demands will be consumed by data centres by 2030.

The republican party of family values has elected a pedophile president and now must cover it all up. ....mmmmm.... How to do it......Shut down the government!!! Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Tuesday that he was sending the House home for its summer break early. Mr. Johnson said the House would adjourn until September after votes were scheduled for Wednesday night into the investigation into Mr. Epstein, the sex offender and former best friend of Mr. Trumps for over a decade. Evidently Johnson thinks Trump's base and America will just forget about Epstein The pedophile president meanwhile was posting all night long on his social media platforms to distract his base far and wide..This included the accusations that President Obama was guilty of treason.

"The encounter with Mr. Trump, Ms. Farmer said, occurred in 1995 as she was preparing to work for Mr. Epstein. She said she told the authorities that late one night, Mr. Epstein unexpectedly called her to his offices in a luxury building in Manhattan, and she arrived in running shorts. Mr. Trump then arrived, wearing a business suit, and started to hover over her, she said she told the authorities. Ms. Farmer said she recalled feeling scared as Mr. Trump stared at her bare legs. Then Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.” The two men left the room, and Ms. Farmer said she could hear Mr. Trump commenting that he thought Ms. Farmer was 16 years old." The above from a NYT story. Ms. Farmer complained to the FBI about Epstein several times and she together with her underage sister was sexually assaulted by him. Epstein had a Boeing 727, dubbed the “Lolita Express,” where according to him the first "Lady" and Trump "first hooked up"(how classy for America). Asked by Wolff, “How do you know all this?” Epstein replied, “I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.”

Huffman reminds me of Travis King the US private that defected to N. Korea in 2023. Normally Kim would have played it up to his maximum advantage. But King was a seriously screwed up person. Putin on the other hand has a propaganda win with Huffman. I'm somewhat surprised that he was sent to the front. But Putin will play it for all its worth. Be it King, Huffman or the Russian population Darwin is at work separating the wheat from the chaff.

Superman....God...Trump.....its all the same isn't it. The self-mythologizing is a sad parody of Trump's personal idols.

You are probably more right than Joe here. As usual there is a bit more to the story. From Daily Beast "Huffman joined the military in the hope of gaining Russian citizenship for his family through an expedited process. He also felt such service would allow him to “earn” the respect of his new countrymen, which is something he once said migrants in the United States refuse to do. “The point of this act for me is to earn a place here in Russia,” he told Russian state media last month. “If I risk myself for our new country, no one will say that I am not a part of it. Unlike migrants in America who come there just like that, do not assimilate, and at the same time want free handouts.”..."Huffman moved his family to a village outside Moscow in spring. It was launched by American blogger Tim Kirby—who has lived in Russia for two decades—in 2023 to attract Americans seeking to escape the “liberal gender norm.” That project has been a flop, with United24Media reporting that only two families, including the Huffmans, have moved in.... Huffman’s admiration for Russia runs deep. The Russian state-operated news agency RIA Novosti reported last month that the couple honeymooned in Moscow....DeAnna(his wife) said that she was not surprised that her husband wanted to volunteer for the Russian military,...”It didn’t come as a surprise to me,” she said of his joining the military. “He always spoke so highly of the country, its president, and its people, and he has a strong passion for doing the right thing.”... Derek shared with RT, "The pivotal moment for us was when we learned that my daughter Sophia had heard about lesbians from a classmate. Even though she didn’t fully grasp the concept, it was enough for us to realize that we needed a change. " Which precipitated his move to Russia.
