No one sane could expect Dems to control global climate- and if they could, wouldn’t want Dems to control climate.
It seems the issue is what is wrong with dem voters.
And we start with why did Musk “support” them?
He is not a dumb kid. If going to vote for either side it’s somewhat reasonable. But if going to vote for dem
one should know a bit about the racist dem party and dem party on political machine {since beginning of time] and they don’t pick good politician- rather they and enable seek the worst creatures they can find.
And it goes without saying that recently they more left, than liberal.
But generally politician are totalitarian {lefties} in their very nature. They might even believe they can control global climate.
I will just note that after many decades, none of them have reduced global CO2 emission. None of them have actually built some system to even measure CO2 emissions.
Not that I think it’s important to reduce global or local global CO2 emissions.
I do think politician make roads, and all the roads suck.
gbaikie – is the ‘g’ for Glenn?
You left out the one, most important think politicians make: taxes.
And taxes are excellent at the one thing they do best, making more politicians.
I always like to end a thread on a positive note, especially at this festive time of year…
Well, politicians like to tax the dead, plus have the dead vote for them.
But when politicians don’t know if space aliens have landed, it seem a lot of stuff should be declassified.
Just saying.
And they are eager to have classified briefing and stuff classified documents in their underwear.
Trouble for Jack Smith?!:
“Was Jack Smith’s appointment unconstitutional? He has no more authority than Taylor Swift, amicus brief argues”
“Veteran prosecutor Jack Smith in August 2010. According to an amicus brief signed by a former U.S. attorney general and two law professors, Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional, leaving him powerless to obtain a quick U.S. Supreme Court decision on immunity claims by former President Donald Trump.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional, leaving him powerless to obtain a quick U.S. Supreme Court decision on immunity claims by former President Donald Trump, according to an amicus brief signed by former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese and two law professors.
“Not clothed in the authority of the federal government, Smith is a modern example of the naked emperor,” the Dec. 20 amicus brief argues. “Improperly appointed, he has no more authority to represent the United States in this court than Bryce Harper, Taylor Swift or Jeff Bezos.”
The law professors who co-wrote the brief with Meese are Steven G. Calabresi of the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law and Gary S. Lawson of the Boston University School of Law.”
Legal technicalities only matter when they benefit leftists.
“Legal technicalities only matter when they benefit leftists.”
Yes; agreed but we’re talking a legal amicus brief filed and submitted to SCOTUS; the question is how will they rule?
“any tough thug lawyer off the street”
I find it amusing when lawyers or professors, and especially law professors, talk as though they were characters in a gangster movie.
…Leave the subpoena, take the retainer…
There is a tremendous amount of discussion as to why the senior hit man Clemenza gives those instructions to the junior hit man on his first ambush-murder.
From the standpoint of The Godfather Universe”, the reason you leave the gun at the murder scene is that the Godfather’s hit men have access to untraceable guns that they wrap with a special tape that does not pick up any fingerprints. Leaving the gun breaks any evidentiary connection of the murderer to the gun because if the hit-man took the gun and was stopped by the police, for whatever reason, the hit man would have the gun in his possesion, which in turn could be connected to the murder through the standard analytical methods connecting a bullet to the machining marks in the gun barrel.
The reason you take the canolli is yes, you went to the bakery to buy canolli because your wife asked you to run that errand, and running these errands was a ruse to distract your intended victim, one of your fellow gang members whom you suspect of having turned traitor to a rival gang, but having purchased canolli at a particular bakery, an employee could link you to the canolli left at the murder scene by testifying that you were in the bakery purchasing some. That is if the employee “didn’t know what was good for him.” But if you are stopped by the police with a box of canolli, this only links you to the bakery, it doesn’t link you to a gangland shooting.
So the experienced hit man is telling the hit man “making his bones” with his first gang killing, “Leave the gun, take the canolli.” This is like a professor having to spell out every step in a scientific experiment to a green grad student.
The one flaw in my theory is that this line was ad-libbed by actor Richard Castellano, especially the “leave the gun” part. But maybe the actor had read the novel and understood what the writers didn’t about the tradecraft of hit men?
Grading themes or finals all last week were we?
How did you know?
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down….
It’s not about the nail.
Correct. It’s about the hammer. And the hammers the Biden regime has been trying to-date seem to be either Nerf tools or made of glass.
Let’s hope that the leftist/dems going after Elon Musk is an example of imperial overreach; before the woke “empire” precipitously starts collapsing it bites off more than it can chew. They are after all taking on simultaneously the richest man on the planet (who is not without a considerable following) and another wildly popular (at least with his base) billionaire (Trump) on some of weakest charges ever brought forth against such a personage. All to protect among other things one of the most venal corrupt larcenist political families in recent collective memory presided over by a mentally/physically impaired hack of a president who never had an original idea in his life even before he got dementia.
So as an MIT alum I get in free the latest issue of their magazine, “Technology Review.” They’re talking about the 10 Breakthrough Technologies of now and coming years.. Yeah, some of it is about really useful stuff, but fundamentally it’s stuff you’re been hearing about on NPR over the last 3 months or so. None of it elicits the kind of “fire in the belly” that Elon’s projects can. (well, another warning about AI, but I guess I never heard of that).
So where does Elon show up? Under the “breakthrough” called “Twitter Killers,” which is about how we can look forward to many alternatives to (ex-) Twitter, because he’s such a vicious Nazi-like hater, he will destroy it so the alternatives will take over.
This is not a breakthrough, it’s no-holds barred slander. And I would advise the mag’s self-righteous staff to look at X’s rapidly rising revenue figures.
One should always give serious consideration to one’s whereabouts after having received the Beaver Ring. If one relishes running around with torches lit, it may require learning a foreign language and culture where one is required to leave the torch at home and smile a lot.
Well, yeah. Democrats view the existence of the USA as illegitimate and that the USA is their enemy. That means anyone who makes the USA stronger is their enemy too.
Welcome to the year 1990.
Dem track record, is they always lose wars.
And it’s good reason not to have US President be a dem. This one has two significant wars happening and we could get another one in South America.
