Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011 , we've learned a lot since then. Chernobyl was a terrible and cheap Russian design, Fukushima was in the wrong location for a tidal wave.

We need to be realistic and energy independent from the rest of the world. The cost of electricity is already too high and switching everything to electric is not possible now. Nuclear will be expensive but has to be one bridge to the future until we know if global warming is real .

Hindsight on covid is now 20/20 , climate is still a unknown but potentially far more lethal.

The vaccine brought down ICU and deaths the other measures were desperate attempts to slow it down. It was a battle against a unknown like the 1918 flu.

Liz is far right but anti Trump . She will get a high paid job at CNN or MSNBC after she leaves office to rail against Trump.

You are the only moron , what a mess

Biden approves largest oil, gas lease sale in US history, steamrolls eco review with inflation bill The Inflation Reduction Act reinstates Lease Sale 257, an oil and gas sale spanning 80.8 million acres across the Gulf of Mexico While the Inflation Reduction Act includes several green energy provisions opposed by the fossil fuel industry, the bill also orders the Department of the Interior (DOI) to take a series of steps to boost fossil fuel production on federal lands and waters. The legislation specifically requires the DOI to reinstate Lease Sale 257, a massive offshore oil and gas sale spanning 80.8 million acres across the Gulf of Mexico, within 30 days of enactment. https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/biden-approves-largest-oil-gas-lease-sale-us-history-steamrolls-eco-review-inflation-bill

Too soon to tell. To say ALF is disappointed in most politicians would be a understatement.

Yes they are both idiots Ok explain why (interesting subject) , I always did respect you're views even when I did not agree.

I could care less where separation of church and state came from , the bottom line is you , Trump and DeSantis are idiots.

The clueless one is a Trump/DeSantis supporter teacher in Florida.

Dozens protest “Reawaken America Tour” in Batavia Some pastors in last week’s protest in Batavia received death threats this week and showed up today with face coverings and tape over their license plates. https://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/western-new-york/genesee-county/batavia/dozens-protest-reawaken-america-tour-in-batavia/ The 2nd amendment allows death threats to pastors who disagree with Trump ? GOP Rep. Boebert: ‘I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk’ Speaking at a religious service Sunday in Colorado, she told worshipers: “The church is supposed to direct the government.

Author Salman Rushdie stabbed on stage before a lecture in New York A man stormed the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and attacked Rushdie and an interviewer, state police said.

Trump deflects with another conspiracy on Truth Social as Merrick Garland calls to unseal Mar-a-Lago warrant “I continue to ask, what happened to the 33 million pages taken to Chicago by President Obama?” Mr Trump complained. “The Fake News Media refuses to talk about that,” he continued. “They want it CANCELED!” The post comes as it has been reported that Mr Trump is under investigation for the illegal retention and removal of classified documents from the White House during the final days of his presidency. Mr Obama is known to have gone through the proper channels, specifically the National Archives, to obtain documents for use in his presidential library, and has not been accused by any credible source including the Archives of retaining any classified materials for the project. https://sports.yahoo.com/trump-deflects-another-conspiracy-truth-200751191.html

The DOJ needs to release the receipt of inventory that was taken from Mar Lago or it's just back to speculation.

Biden will listen to his lawyers when leaving office like Obama did , unlike Trump does whatever he wants.

Even declassified documents were suppose to go to national archives ?

CONTINUED ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION Whether or not former officials keep their eligibility and access to classified information is another issue more grounded in tradition than policy. It is common for outgoing presidents and officials to be ‘read in’ on issues and topics where their prior position and expertise are useful. This is at the discretion of the current sitting president. That means that any access to classified information a former president or government official obtains has to be granted – they can’t just walk into the CIA and say ‘brief me.’ https://news.clearancejobs.com/2020/11/30/former-presidents-and-eligibility-to-access-classified-information/

Trump boosted penalties for mishandling classified docs to spite Hillary Clinton. Oops This has been floating around, but is worth confirming: Yes, the felony Donald Trump is suspected of committing—moving classified national security documents to his for-profit golf club—is only a felony because Donald J. Trump himself made it one. And yes, the ex-blowhard-in-chief did it specifically as part of his "Lock Her Up" blowhardism against his 2016 election rival, Hillary Clinton. You may remember that Republicans, during the years of 2016 through 2021, believed that it was an absolute abomination to consider prosecuting any political figure for any crime other than "mishandling classified information," but "mishandling classified information" was such a severe crime that it required, as the loud jackasses who populated Trump's every rally constantly shouted, locking somebody up. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/8/10/2115744/-It-s-true-Donald-Trump-signed-the-law-making-the-mishandling-of-classified-documents-a-felony Trump, Who Once Said ‘the Mob Takes the Fifth,’ Takes the Fifth Trump has suggested on many occasions that people who invoke their right against self-incrimination are guilty. “You see the mob takes the Fifth,” Trump said during a 2016 rally in Iowa. “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/trump-takes-the-fifth.html

Latest Lincoln Project ad stokes presidential paranoia, suggests snitch sparked Mar-a-Lago raid The ad will broadcast only in the New Jersey market where Donald Trump is staying now. Trolling former President Donald Trump, a new Lincoln Project ad raises questions about who from his inner circle snitched. The ad will be broadcast in the Bedminster, New Jersey market, where Trump stayed as FBI agents searched his Mar-a-Lago estate. “Who was it, Donald?” a female narrator asks. “Who gave you up to the feds?” A second woman’s voice chimes in and whispers more directly: “Who squealed?” The one-minute spot features newsreel footage of the raid on Trump’s Florida home. It also shows pictures published first by Axios and featured in a new book on Trump by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman. The photographs show clumps of papers with hand-written notes reportedly being flushed down a toilet. The images seem to confirm reports from February that Trump frequently would stuff sensitive documents in White House toilets to dispose of them. But the ad notes that’s not what the raid in Florida this week sought out. The FBI reportedly seized 15 boxes of papers found at the Trump estate. “No, not that stuff,” the main narrator states. “The classified documents; 15 boxes of top secret files.” “That’s naughty Donald,” the whispering woman chimes in. “Someone who you trusted betrayed you,” the ad states. “Now you’re the first President to have his home raided by the FBI.” “The rats are jumping ship and Donald is realizing he can’t trust even his own family. He knows he taught his kids that blood doesn’t matter if prison is on the line,” said Reed Galen, co-founder of the Lincoln Project. “Donald knows the calls are coming from inside the house and he’s running out of time to figure out who it is.” https://floridapolitics.com/archives/545830-latest-lincoln-project-ad-stokes-presidential-paranoia-suggests-snitch-sparked-mar-a-lago-raid/
