Minor note, he recently said the president should be able to tell the Fed what interest rates are. He won't have to do much raging, he can just tell them money is free for Vance and his venture capitalist friends.

Allegedly 77% in 2020 according to the FL government. I assume that's among registered voters though, not all eligible.

Along with the points already made, selling energy back to the grid further complicates things. Selling energy as a non-utility is not allowed or practically worthless in a lot of states. So it's really only valuable to the commercial space that can use it. Couple that with retail space like stip malls that rent their locations and there's little incentive for the property owner to provide solar energy to the renter.

InB4 "WhY DiDn't hE Do iT WhEn hE HaD ThE MaJoRiTy?" Because he's calling for constitutional amendments that require a 2/3rds support in Congress and the SCOTUS may finally be disliked enough to get some GOP members to support reform, especially if it comes with limiting Biden's own immunity.

I thought the same, but AZ law says that if a Senate seat is vacated, the Governor, currently Dem, will appoint a replacement to fullfil the rest of the term. So, good news, the seat will not be up for grabs.

Not so good news, the appointed will have incumbency advantage and more than likely never be seriously primaried.

He endorsed Biden in 2020, so it stands to reason he will endorse Harris post-nomination. It's not like Trump has gotten less crazy or more likeable since then.

That's an average contribution of $91....Go back to upvoting yourself on c/JillStein

Ah yes Tulsi Gabbard. An obvious GOP plant in the 2020 primary that...Oh, would you look at that, left the democratic party citing wokeness and now campaigns for the GOP. I guess we have to trust her motives when she 'Rips' a prosecutor for doing prosecutor things.

He retired a couple years ago and was replaced by Mark-wayne "I don't want reality" Mullin.

This can also work against him and Democrats though. NYT had an article about it recently. They interviewed a Trump supporter in AZ who believed abortion was a right, but wanted to vote for Trump. She hoped this abortion measure would get on the ballot so she could vote for abortion, while voting for Trump. Despite the obvious and very public campaign pomise to severely limit abortion and Project 2025's goal to ban it federally.

An abortion ballot initiative will drive voters to the polls, but if they feel they are safe from losing abortion access, they may not feel like they need to support Dem candidates.

They never say who they'd like to see, at least not that I've ever seen. This user posts a lot though.

This presents a problem though, progressives are making the call for Biden to step aside. Cool, that's their view. But if he did, the DNC picks the candidate without primary input. Anyone remember the last time a block of Democratic voters saw the primary process as the DNC picking a candidate against the wishes of the voters? How did 2016 go? Whether you subscribe to the "Bernie won" talking points or not, it does raise the question. Would the DNC pick satisfy the voters calling for Biden to drop or would they pick a moderate Democrat (the majority of the Democratic base) and further upset progressives?

I too was OotL. From the channel sidebar:

The woman we're discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don't know who he is or what he did). She's the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she's Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren't as clear (and where they are she's disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who've tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who's tried to speak out.

 

They had GA manufacturer plates on the rear with EU plates on the front. The drivers wouldn't say what they were doing with them, just that it was secret. All the logos were removed. No significant differences between them on the exterior, but they had different exhaust configurations.
