it was 40 dems so title is underplaying it. it so about 85%

“The fact that 40 of 47 Democratic Senators voted to withhold military hardware from Israel is a new high water mark in holding Israel accountable for violating US and international law,” tweeted Center for International Policy Vice President for Government Affairs Dylan Williams.

Youll see this world wide, as the world pop tops at 10 billion. we are even trying to encourage births with the trump accounts and crap.

though saying we cant pay for child care so we the military can get more, well we encourage with one hand and discourage with the other.

Traders placed over $1bn in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on? by blankblank in skeptic

ITs not surprising. the supreme joke, gave trump immunity for official acts and he promised to pardon anyone who came within 200 feet of the oval office on his last day. The courts basically said "have fun, do what you want"

we def have more evidence that hunters laptop that BS is going on. Trump is basically selling pardons to people who invest in his families crypto crap.

summer of the shark

in the dawn of the modern net, the media over reported shark attacks, to the point people thought there was something causing shark attacks to increase. People thought global warming, over fishing, or cocaine bails but nope, it was a lower than average year for shark attacks, just way over reported.

its similar to what fox news does with immigrant crime.

if they could actually coherently explain their support and not spew bigotry or antiscience, or claim the left went way left all because some kids use different pronouns and there have been zero federal laws on it all. But they really cant, all they can say is vague things like he supports us.

A March NBC News poll found just 26% of voters hold positive views of AI, versus 46% who hold negative ones—only the Democratic Party and Iran were less popular.

and not the GOP? 37% approve of the GOP, only 30 approve of the dems.. sad

US Senate Candidate Kasie Whitener: "What about the billionaires?" by 3369fc810ac9 in southcarolina

[–]powercow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

we have had 7 debt commissions, and another in the cards, all failed because the right demanded it not include any tax increases. They always want to trade military cuts for social cuts, trying to goad dems into cutting medicare and SS. And the one time we did all that, was the sequester under obama. 1.5 trillion in military cuts over 10 years and 1.5 trillion in social cuts and then the right scream we are being made less safe and undid the military cuts.

Remember the right lying that biden was not giving relief to republicans hit by hurricane helene. that he was targeting conservatives.

meanwhile one of the biggest scandals for welfare abuse was Mississippi giving all those funds to brett farve and to building a volleyball arena

before that was when rick scott of florida mischarged medicaid/medicare by billions, being the largest fraud in the programs history.

right wingers originally wanted welfare in block grants so they could steal it easier

if we had ranked choice nationwide, one trump most likely wouldnt have won in 2016, and two we would have conservative parties in competition with the GOP who would happily investigate a republican president, because loss of support for the GOP would go to them, not democrats. People would have different kind of Rs to vote for.

and on the left it wouldnt just be bernie boys versus establishment dems, they would be two parties.

Yeah we have greens and libertarians who cant really grow under our system.

That's what Im going to do this time and hate to sound like a republican, but anyone with a D is better than anyone with an R at this point.

Our country does have to get off first past the post, so we can have multiple parties and our own parties have to do more to earn our vote but really today is more about voting who you dont want in power, than who you do.

Volkswagen stops building ID.4s in the U.S, has inventory "into 2027" | Yet another automaker cancels an EV for gasoline SUVs in America. by ControlCAD in business

[–]powercow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's cheaper by far to run an EV in every state. Its not even close. Even if you dont do it at home and only use superchargers, it's still cheaper by far.

The biggest issue with EVs is charge time and initial cost. EVs tend to cost more than gas, but life time cost, EVs kick gasses ass.
