Good News! Electric Car Batteries Lasting Longer Than Predicted Delays Recycling Programs https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2022/08/01/electric-car-batteries-lasting-longer-than-predicted-delays-recycling-programs/?sh=5f26187b5332 And this is about the Nissan Leaf the batteries of which are air-cooled rather than liquid cooled.

Sure. It's Biden who is the one claiming that there's widespread voter fraud and that Trump really won the 2020 election. To be fair, I'm sure you don't believe that widespread voter fraud is a problem or that Trump really won the 2020 election,

Excellent article. And since you haven't quoted from it, allow me to do just that: "It was clear when Boris Johnson was forced from Downing Street that British politics had changed forever. But few could have predicted that less than six months later, all angry talk of a cross-Channel trade war would be a distant memory, with Britain and the EU striking a remarkable compromise deal over post-Brexit trade rules in Northern Ireland. Private conversations with more than a dozen U.K. and EU officials, politicians and diplomats reveal how the Brexit world changed completely after Johnson’s departure — and how an “unholy trinity” of little-known civil servants, ensconced in a gloomy basement in Brussels, would mastermind a seismic shift in Britain’s relationship with the Continent." https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-eu-deal-boris-johnson-departure-paved-the-way-brexit-bargain-northern-ireland-protocol-liz-truss-rishi-sunak-tory-conservatives/

Here's some bad news for all of you punters. I'm officially announcing here that I won't be entering the Boston Marathon in 2023. Even though I have about the same chance of winning that as Larry Hogan does of becoming the next Republican candidate for President.

This notion of "huge" is highly relative. Tucker Carlson has a viewership of roughly 3.5 million. NBC nightly news has an audience nearly twice as large. So, if the size of the audience is a relevant figure, then why not NBC nightly news? Or give it to the NY Times which which has a subscriber base of over 8 million. And these are people who are actually willing to pay for the service.

Actually from extreme far right to extremer far right.

Voters may support releasing all the videos. But they're not going to get to see all the videos. They're going to see Tucker Carlson's highly edited version of the videos. And because he currently has exclusive possession of those videos, it will be impossible to for other news sources to challenge his edited version of them. What's more, Tucker has already releases a so-called documentary on Jan 6. And it was widely derided as promoting conspiracy theories based fallacies and innuendos. We watched Tucker Carlson's Jan. 6 documentary so you don't have to. Here's why its whitewash of the Capitol insurrection makes no sense. Tucker Carlson's documentary on the Jan. 6 insurrection is riddled with errors and fallacies. A pair of longtime Fox News contributors recently resigned over the three-part streaming series. The film jumps to shaky conclusions and relies heavily on innuendo, not demonstrated evidence. https://www.businessinsider.com/tucker-carlsons-jan-6-documentary-so-you-dont-have-to-2021-11

Why does Fox's larger primetime audience justify it being the only one to receive those videos? Do you believe that current technology is such that only one copy of these videos is available at any one time. Your defense of this exclusive release makes no sense at all.

It's such a clueless and fraudulent attempt.

No, even if you really were a genuine swing voter, you're certainly not average: How Donald Trump Turned Off Swing Voters in 2020 https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/how-donald-trump-turned-off-swing-voters-in-2020/

You think swing voters don't exist in every nation where citizens have the right to vote freely? That all voters somewhere outside the USA invariably vote for the same party? I think that's why you got the laugh.

Some of you may be shocked, but it turns out Trump's speech to CPAC was full of falsehoods 1)He claimed killings are at an unprecedented level in NYC. This is false. In 2020 and 2021 murders started falling again. In 2021 there were a total of 433 homicides in NY. In 1990 the total was 2245 2)He claimed the US left 85 billion dollars worth of equipment in Afghanistan. The total was actually about 7 billion. 3)He claimed "windmills" created the most expensive form of energy every developed. False. He also claimed that they kill birds which is ture but the numbers are negligible compared to what slaughter domestic cats , the fossil fuel industry and buildings are responsible for. Isn't Trump in real estate? 4) Trump said he shut down border crossings. Not true. And they began to climb back up again in 2020. 5)He claimed that no previous administration had gotten anything from China. Again false. Tariffs from Chinese imports on a yearly basis varied between 8 and 14 billion dollars per year. 6)He claimed that NATO members were delinquent in paying their bills. 7)He claimed that the Obama administration only sent blankets to Ukraine. Actually, the rendered assistance worth about 600 million dollars. 8)He claimed that the wall between Mexico and the USA was "completed". https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/04/us/politics/fact-check-trump-cpac.html

An average swing voter who has repeatedly expressed his uncritical and undying fealty to Trump. You're not fooling anybody.

They aren't trying to seal the videos. The videos were not going to be sealed. It's documents that were and that's the way it works. Not just for this committee's investigation.

Of course it's not fair. Why should Carlson get first dibs on the tapes and release his version first? We saw how effective getting there first was when William Barr lied about the Mueller report before Mueller got to comment on it. Even though Barr was castigated for his lies by the judge, his version stuck.. You may find this hard to accept, but there are those who believe that the Mueller report proved that there was nothing to allegations about Trump's cooperation with the Russians. That's what getting there first does. Carlson's version of the incident will enjoy a long head start even if others do get hold of the information.

Whatever the merits of your claim about being " pushed to consume more, nd change more often things that should have lasted longer, and could have lasted much longer to keep the drive on the economy.", I don't see why this especially applies to EVs as opposed to ICE vehicles.

Nor does it prohibit such intervention. But this is utterly irrelevant since it's individual countries who happen to be members of NATO that are providing aid to Ukraine. The aid is not being funneled through NATO.

You miss the point. We know that the Carlson's and other commentators' opinions were lies.

Well, that certainly does spare you the effort of having to acquire knowledge about whatever issues a politician is addressing.

Here's a shocker: Trump claimed the 2020 election was stolen!

Shame on her for not have the drive and grit to get herself born into a super wealthy family! What makes a middle class person think she even has the right to run for office?

You missed the point. Fossil fuel companies aren't plowing back their revenue into exploration the way they used to because investors believe that the long-term outlook for fossil fuels is grim.

Revision much? Here's your original claim:

It's a good thing that Rasmussen isn't a politically biased organization. "Republican-leaning pollster Rasmussen invoked a quote attributed to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in a Twitter thread Sunday suggesting Vice President Pence could attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election... At that moment, the Presidency will be in his hands. And there is nothing stopping Pence, under the (plenary and unappealable) authority vested in him as President of the Senate, from declining to open and count the certificates from the six disputed states." https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/531830-rasmussen-quotes-stalin-in-discussing-us-election/ Here's a link to a discussion of how Rasmussen devises questions designed to get the answers they want: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/2018-07/116034.pdf What whistleblowers? These are not whistleblowers. These are conspiracy mongers who have no first hand knowledge of what claim. Also, they are being funded by right wing organizations.

False. As was noted because it's a State funeral, it's the State that pays You have any evidence that the Crown ultimately paid for her funeral, or her husband's funeral or her mother's funeral? Any? The queen’s funeral will be paid for by British taxpayers. The state will cover the huge price tag at a time when many in Britain are struggling to pay their bills and are bracing for a difficult winter. The British government has not yet disclosed how much Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on Monday will cost, saying only that it would provide details “in due course.” But the price tag, which will involve elaborate processions, vigils and rituals, is expected to be significant and will be covered by the state. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/14/world/europe/queen-funeral-costs.html Who pays for a state funeral? State funerals are publicly funded. They fall under the responsibility of the Earl Marshall - currently Edward Fitzalan-Howard, the 18th Duke of Norfolk, who inherited the position in June 2002 - and the College of Arms. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/09/18/what-state-funeral-when-last-one-uk/
