With respect, when are we going to stop celebrating people simply because they find creative language to state the obvious? Reminder: this body, Congress, is responsible for ensuring this never happens. You don't get points for being clever. You get a paycheck for doing your job.

Wow, a strongly worded letter! That should teach them a lesson. How about this: Be the one who knocks.

Every day myriad elected representatives make this case to exactly the wrong people. We can't adjudicate anything. Take this to court. And win.

I blame the founding fathers. They really should have thought to include some language ensuring checks and balances to executive power.

Even the Saudis are investing in a renewable energy infrastructure - $6bn for 15GW. We just seem to be cherry picking the absolute worst policies of the lowest performing countries and trying to unseat them.

You left out the fact that a lot of his unilateral decisions are ultimately declared illegal. If only we had a system of checks and balances in place to stop him before he spends our tax dollars!
Oh, wait ... I think that's you! So how about instead of snarky posts, you use the law to protect us?

Ended up paying more than double what i would have paid at box office. Called to ask for refund and was told they have no refund policy. Filed dispute with PayPal. Waiting.

Seriously, are you all waiting for the people to get torches and pitchforks and do this job ourselves? Maybe you should write us a strongly worded letter.

Fuck the oil companies. China just doubled the U.S. in electricity output while simultaneously experiencing flat or declining emissions. Oil is dead. Before it died, it did more harm to this country and planet than any other entity ever. Why in the world would we do anything to keep them around?

Oh, and sue the crap out of him for illegally using our tax dollars to deploy troops to U.S. cities. The Constitution clearly spells out the powers of the president and he clearly acted outside of those definitions. Ergo, private citizen using tax dollars. We need to be made whole.

Don't want to tell you how to do your job -- the job we pay you to do -- but maybe prosecute the crap out of this? Declare him unfit, impeach him for every reason you can find, reverse every arbitrary executive order he issued using the removal of constraints provided by SCOTUS. Do it now. Now.

Just curious: is there data on how that electricity is generated? I know you recently shared a graph that showed China's emissions flat or declining over the past year. Seems to me that increased output without emissions means China's in Green New Deal territory.

The contrast is so clear in each speaker's first few words: Bernie speaks to help the people, Chuck speaks to blame Republicans. Subtle but meaningful distinction.

JD Vance should be forbidden from wearing any university or college logo wear. I hope his kids enjoy being homeschooled into their 30's.

That's fantastic! Bravo on the 3,500+ swap stations and on the solid buy-in from other EV makers. Sounds like you're well on your way to extending range to infinity.
I saw this model (Better Place) in Copenhagen and it blew my mind. So SO grateful it hasn't been abandoned. It makes too much sense.

So here's a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, liar, murderer, child abuser, open and frequent defier of the Constitution can't get through a day without breaking a law. And you can't check and/or balance him? Pointing out his violations to us is all you got? Respectfully, maybe fix this?

Is this concept open to other EV manufacturers? For instance, could I build an EV that took advantage of NIO's battery swapping infrastructure? Also, any numbers on how many swapping stations exist/are planned?

Hey, you know what would be awesome? If the checks and balances provided for by the Constitution actually checked and balanced. There are SO many causes for removal. So many more offenses to be investigated. The country doesn't need more snark. It needs action.

Seems to me we might recoup some of that if we charge him every time he deploys the military illegally. If military deployment can be a personal decision, it shouldn't be financed by taxpayers. Taxation without representation. Pretty sure we fought a war over something like that.
