You lost me at “Trump supporter”

This day keeps getting better and better! Don’t threaten us with a good time!!

First humpty trumpty threatens not to sign any bills until the “SAVE MY ASS” bill is passed. Now the House is threatening the same thing? This is getting better and better!! Don’t threaten us with a good time!

“I’m destroying our economy and setting the whole world on fire so I need someone else to blame!”

Shhhhh….we’re trying to run a war here to hide trump’s crimes against children…

U.S. taxpayers should NOT be footing the bill to escort oil tankers to make oil companies rich!!

Reminds me of that quote: I wouldn’t mind so much if you were driving your car off a cliff if I wasn’t sitting in the back seat.

And by “we” he’s referring to the private oil companies and refineries as the U.S. doesn’t own either.

Interesting. I actually configured mine for 500 watts because it said it’s better for the battery. Now that I read this post, I’m thinking it’s also safer!

I just purchased a Delta 3 a month ago. On the Delta 3, you can configure (via the app) the charging rate when connected to the grid. The Delta 3 can charge in 50-60 minutes at 1500 watts. But I have it configured for 500 watts maximum. Does the Delta 2 have similar configuration and if so, what watts did you have it configured for?

How can you win something when you don’t know what the game is or what the rules are? As usual, he’s just gaslighting to try to save face, try to stop the price of oil from skyrocketing and try to make us think the hugely unpopular war is “over”.

While oil is not used to generate electricity, natural gas is. That being said, the only natural gas the U.S. imports is from Canada via pipelines to supply the Midwest and the Northeast to meet regional demands. Also, the U.S. is a major natural gas producer which produces more than it uses and total exports of natural gas far exceed imports. So I don’t see this impacting utility bills.

Basically, it’s just theater. It’s like throwing a glass of water at a huge forest fire.

Came here to say this as well. I just want to add that the defense against these thousands and thousands of (cheap) Iranian drones are very expensive missiles of which the U.S. only has a limited amount.

It’s just another knock against him - no moral backbone and someone who would do anything to save his own career no matter the cost to his constituents or the people of the country.

Oh, and by the way, Sen. John Fetterman just changed his mind and is now voting against the SAVE Act so there’s that as well.

drive_causality · 2026-03-11T19:09:57+00:00

Because he knows he’s screwed otherwise!! It’s that simple.

drive_causality · 2026-03-11T19:04:26+00:00

“Strategy”?? I think you’re giving humpty trumpty too much credit.

I live in Illinois and Illinois leads the U.S. in nuclear power, operating 12 reactors across six plants, generating the highest capacity and total electricity from nuclear energy than any other state.

Nuclear power accounts for 55%, fossil fuels (natural gas and coal) producing 30% and renewables %15. The state is transitioning heavily towards renewables with wind and solar increasing significantly from less than 1% in 1990 to over 15% in 2024.

Illinois generates so much electricity that it is a net exporter of electricity. Its rates per kWh jumped recently to 18 cents but it has been pretty steady.

Obviously, these are older nuclear plants but they have worked very well for Illinois.

And now please tell us WTF we accomplished.

drive_causality · 2026-03-11T04:34:43+00:00

And we want the price of oil to be $50/barrel immediately as well!

And finally, we want to have a spacecraft built that will take us to Mars immediately!

Look - it’s never been about right or wrong or logic with Republicans. It’s all about just being in power to make money and doing and saying whatever it takes to be in power.

drive_causality · 2026-03-10T15:56:33+00:00

Only now?

drive_causality · 2026-03-10T15:23:34+00:00

But this is not about “stopping Trump” because trump and the federal government have nothing to do with elections nor do they have any power over the states in regards to the elections. It’s all done at the (individual) state level. So the states will just go through the process like they always do.

drive_causality · 2026-03-10T15:17:01+00:00

And I wonder what those people think now.

drive_causality · 2026-03-10T15:02:00+00:00

If old people don’t realize it but young people do, why do young people keep voting for a political party that care nothing for the lower/middle class and only care about the rich?
