As in George Floyd’s ‘Commander in Chief’ family’?

Not only have the Republicans (re)-elected the weakest speaker they could find, they’ve neutered him into the bargain. Let the games begin.

Clearly part of the deal struck with the extremists was McCarthy reading from script to thank Trump. What an embarrassing mess the Republicans have chosen to become.

Voters, Republican, Democrat and Independent need to take careful note of the Republican intention to place Social Security spending under annual Congressional approval. Stopping the Government by political gamesmanship to withhold funding might be a bit of a jolly wheeze, stopping Social Security checks not so much so. Especially if you happen to be one of those waiting for your Social Security check to arrive.

Separate two issues. A. Immigrants And B. The Government disgusting treatment of public service workers. Doing so will help you understand A is being used to distract your attention from B.

More than 40, wow, what a sterling effort (pun intended): https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11589979/More-45-700-migrants-crossed-Channel-small-boat-record-breaking-2022.html

Added to the mineral extraction deals the Chinese have already snatched up.

I checked your first link (checked who owns it) the owner has used a privacy service to hide their identity. So let’s not waste anymore time. Here is your statement: “The World Health Organization cautions that those who live within a mile of a high voltage transformer could develop neurological disorders.“ Please provide a link to the WHO making that statement, a link from the WHO making that statement.

I’m sure he’s sick of someone winning.

That’s a link to a newspaper article that excludes all supporting references. It’s utter nonsense.

And fossil fuels are completely clean, requiring no transformers, no cables. Link please to; “The World Health Organization cautions that those who live within a mile of a high voltage transformer could develop neurological disorders.“

“ 2020 marked the first year in the UK’s history that electricity came predominantly from renewable energy, with 43% of our power coming from a mix of wind, solar, bioenergy and hydroelectric sources.” This 2020 figure excludes Nuclear (25% of all electricity generation) and since the data comes from National Grid.com I’m inclined to believe it. https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/how-much-uks-energy-renewable https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-t-z/united-kingdom.aspx

I’m not at all convinced that the impacts of producing EV’s is anywhere near as bad as the impacts of producing Internal Combustion Engines. The boundary needs to be drawn around the whole system, including the impacts of the oil and gas extraction/production. wrt to EV’s in the UK (subject of this thread), electricity generation from fossil fuels is a little over 46% and declining. EV’s are here to stay.

Your fixation on the nationality of other members is slipping out again. The only qualification that matters is he’s a member of the forum, as a member he is permitted to comment.

Have have high hopes that while 2022 was a great year for Justice, 2023 is going to even better. Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

Good for them, hybrids are extremely efficient compared with a standard internal combustion vehicle.

You are confusing use of resources with pollution and I doubt very much you have any real interest in addressing the equitable distribution of resources. Explain what pollution is created in energy transmission?

You’ve heard of the Luddites ? (It’s not a brand of batteries)

You are in full flow whataboutary. Refer to the top of the tread for the subject that triggered your hating on Biden.

And the biggest single contributor to inflation is?

Court filings suggest maybe not.

That’s like two passengers on a train heading in the same direction but unaware that a) both are moving b) where they are headed. It’s all relative.

The UK went into full self harming mode.

Regardless of race, when people vote for a party and that party wins an election the voters have reasonable expectation that the party they voted for will govern. Keep a straight face while you tell me this farce isn’t losing the Republicans support.

It’s all the kind of stuff you can find in those rightwing echo chambers.
