"Three-Headed Chimera of Trumpian Destruction." Josh Marshall at TPM
Essential Reading, as always.
I'm hopeful that this will cause them lots of problems. A little with infighting but mostly because they'll be operating independently and crash in to each other lots.
Really small consolation, but Tesla stock is down more than $60/share since Jan. 15. No gloating from me though, because everything is temporary, anyway.
I casually followed Tesla stock througout the day. At close today, it was down about $53.90 compared to Jan. 15. My post above was from the lowest point of the day. It closed down nearly $4 compared to yesterday. I fully understand one point in time or one single day is nothing to get worked up about, I was just curious.
Democrat Al Green of Texas says he will bring Articles of Impeachment against Trump for “dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.” I guess this would be like the preemptive pardons the Biden crime family got 15 minutes before the Feeble Feckless Fossile gave up the throne.
The “dastardly deeds proposed” would cover a lot of ground, but just to be sure the Articles of Impeachment should also include ” dirty deeds done dirt cheap” and “failure to put down the toilet seat”.
Nice to see the fascist lickspittles resurface. Your brownshirts are back from the cleaners, Qaren. But do go on with your virtually puddle-deep knowledge of federal law. It's fun to watch the brainwarp
lol
The internet didn't really need yet another bog standard punch bowl shitter, but you've giving it one just the same. Congrats, I guess?
Today's blog will hopefully be a lot less contenious. It's an interview with Gene Nelson of GreenNuke. His focus is California base load power.
When you start honestly counting social costs ( respiratory illness, cancers, environmental pollution, everlasting waste) into your fancy math which supposedly shows how nukes and gas extraction should replace all wind and solar, then maybe you can get some clicks on your substack.
Until then, you are just another dishonest industry apologist.
I suspect also, Davids' zeal to discuss energy policy at great length, is intended as a distraction from discussing the Rape of America. David has always spoken as a wealthy man.
Long ago, I asked a VERY wealthy man, " What is the secret to becoming wealthy?" He told me the secret to gaining wealth is to always think of your money first. If it will cost you, the morals and ethics are secondary. I think Davids' money is his best friend.
Perhaps I am wrong, but that is my perception.
In fairness to David T, he's quite knowledgeable on computers and business. He does contribute to the Democratic Party by designing and Beta testing organizing software. I actually enjoyed all the euro pop music videos he used to post , too.
I would read his sub stack if it was about how to run a business, what AI is doing , and other topics that he is actually knowledgeable about. Energy policy, not so much.
He keeps overlooking all the people that are "uncounted social costs" in his equations: the uranium minors that are suffering from cancer, the people living next-door to nuclear waste, the folks downwind of fracking operations, breathing methane and harming their own and their kids developing lungs brains.
And there are the severe environmental costs: methane makes fracking pollution as much of a global warming gas as coal smoke. And all fracking releases methane. And all uranium powered nuclear energy creates waste that lasts forever and is expensive to store.
"One Hard Lever of Power" for the Dems. Josh Marshall again from TPM.
Democratic Senators can also gum things up by maximizing debate on nominations and legislation.
But beyond the appropriations process (budget or continuing resolution) and dealing with the debt ceiling (now using "extraordinary measures" which probably will run out this summer), there is little "must pass" legislation for the remainder of the fiscal year. Hope the House leadership can articulate what would be acceptable and the Senate leadership can maintain cohesion so they can force a deal.
A social media paraphrase of reporting from WSJ:
As always, small consolation now that Marko probably gained access to everyone's DNA records or something, but hey, the court of public opinion of DOGE seems to be swaying a tad in the badder direction.
