The Republicans who could and should hold him to account (senators, representatives, and Supreme Court justices) are too afraid of his rabid base to do anything. If they oppose him, Trump will start raging on truth social that they are communist America haters that need to be “dealt with”. Stochastic terrorism is a real thing, and these people are cowards.

The oligarchs that put him in power thought they were smart enough to control him. I think they are just now realizing that they can’t, and they are freaking out.

I don’t think anyone understands that if he ousts Powell/gets his interest rate lowered, we’re looking at a depression or worse.

Um, I think everyone except his hardcore followers understands that.

No, selling the USB stick was where she got the $3000 cash.

Protesting can work, boycotts can work, and so on. Don’t let anyone think we can’t act because we the people can

Yes! If they didn’t work, we wouldn’t have such coordinated negative messaging about how they DON’T work and are a waste of time. If conservatives didn’t think boycotts and protests were effective they wouldn’t be working so hard to make them illegal.

I think the implication was “instead of people that prey on the poor and middle class.” As in, people the majority would like the police to be pursuing.

Almost all the recovery went to the owner class under Biden, so let’s elect Trump and transfer EVERYTHING to the owner class.

I have no idea what you are trying to say. Batteries have an environmental impact, but so does fracking for natural gas. You have the impact up front making a battery, but charging it with renewables does not have continued environmental impact. But if you use gas, you’re going to have to use an awful lot of it over that time period to offset the clean power you’re able to use when you have a battery. And that gas has a very high environmental impact, continually, over that entire time period.

I didn’t say batteries have NO impact, but they have less impact than continually mining and burning fossil fuels.

You make the batteries once, and the pollution due to production is spread over the 10-15 year lifetime of the battery. During that time gigawatt hours of clean power sloshes in and out of them. This in contrast to having to produce enough gas to make all of those gigawatt hours once, then throw the gas away as co2 and get more, along with the attendant pollution.
