lol.....anyone who supports donnie 2 hands throwing shade at how someone drinks water is funny.

Are you voting based on how someone drinks water?  Look, I get it, Trump has an abrasive personality and tweets things that hurts people's feelings.  I urge you to look past that and focus on important issues and what Trump has accomplished in his first term.  I'm used to New yorkers so it's not a problem for me to say Trump is the right leader to get us through a critical time.  He has put us on the correct trajectory but needs 4 more years to get us where we need to be.

Whole lotta nothing.....Hmmmm....I'm shocked that's the direction Fox News went with this while dear leader is licks Putin's body parts to make sure Putin stays happy.

Fox is reporting what Cotton and Powell said.  I'd put those two vets up against some left wing vet group every day even though Powell was very hypocritical on his criticism of Trump proposing using troops to quell the riots.

Probably the right thing to do but it is relevant to the election if Biden wants to launch into a costly and impractical green new deal led by AOC who last I heard insists on shaking bottled water before drinking.

Putin, the leader of the country that faced collapse if not for Trump stepping in and getting OPEC to cut oil production?  Russia, Russia, Russia is a declining power but is an important ally in what needs to happen with China.  They need to be included in the upcoming G7 meeting.  Russia got in trouble for taking over the Crimea which happened under Obama. Putin knew under weak US and EU leadership he could get away with it.  Trump has increased the sanctions against Russia and maintained the Obama era sanctions.

I'm not sure where this narrative of Trump kissing up to Putin came from, probably a residual from the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.

I guess we could nuke Russia, Russia, Russia over this but we might not like the result.  Stop being manipulated and think for yourself.

Ok - he copied Trump but he is a radical leftist    - can't have it both ways donnie boy

 

It's fairly easy to understand if you look at Biden's policy rather than read into a soundbite.  Biden's policy paper copied a lot straight from socialist Sanders.  I don't know if the tax increase and putting back regulations came from Sanders but after they were done they realized it would kill jobs so they decided to give lip service to creating jobs and adopted Trump sounding policies and called it "Buy America".  For instance Biden wants to punish companies that take federal money and then offshore.  Someone should tell him that ship has already sailed and the current game is to get manufacturing back to US which Navarro and Kudlow are working on.  As VP he had ample opportunity to push for the things Trump has done, but he didn't.  For those who were relieved the Democrats finally came to their senses and rejected socialism should look closely at what Biden is proposing.  I see no proof that Biden, a known plagiarizer, has ever had an original thought nor has the ability to stand up to those on the far left.  Any that has listened to Biden lately knows his mental capacity is not where it should be so you should be concerned who would actually be in power.

Here's a good article by NREL on the grid-level battery storage that describes how it works along with where it may and may not make sense to use:

https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/74426.pdf

 

So if the question is whether we should start building nuclear plants or wind/PV with storage to stop C02 emissions, then I think the answer is clearly wind/PV with storage.

It looks like MIT is throwing some reality into the battery storage issue which is surprising given how science has become ruled by politics.

This isn't true, as I've already discussed.

This is also false. Wind and solar costs have been declining exponentially and are now actually cheaper than other energy sources:

 

Energy storage isn't there to support solar and wind.  There is a reason the greens have punted on it.  Prices go down when demand decreases.  Building them and assuming energy storage solution will magically appear is irresponsible.  Also, Birds Lives Matter.  Germany is not an example of green utopia.  They have France's nuclear powered electricity as primary supply and can't wait to get a natural gas line from Russia so they can start using it to produce power.  Meanwhile their citizens can feel good for saving the planet.  They're delusional.

Utterly unreal someone could watch the past 3.5 years of failed foreign policy destroying our standing in the world and find a way to be worried the serious, sober people Biden will surround himself and the man himself could find a way to do worse.

Sure if you think being a doormat is our place in the world.  I don't believe it is and Trump unapologetically removed us from that role.  Don't confuse other country's disdain for a more assertive US as a lack of respect.  Many people in other countries are very supportive of Trump because they too see the threat of China to their country and are glad a Trump led US is guiding their weak leaders in the right direction.

A task force recommending something doesn't mean Biden automatically adopts it. That said, hell yeah it should be less complicated to become a citizen. It shouldn't take years and thousands of dollars.

 

There are a lot of moderate Dems who support climate policies a lot different from the Sanders-AOC wing of the party. Plenty of ways to skin a cat.

 

Boo Keystone and pipelines in general. The cost-benefit never made sense to me. Paying non-American companies to create a handful of temporary jobs so they can pump their profits across our land (and in many cases, Native Americans'), worsen climate change and do a subpar job whenever a leak happens. Pass.

A lot of Germans scoffed at Mein Keimpf as ridiculous and proceeded to let Hitler take power.  These recommendations have a way of becoming policy.  Know what you are voting for.

I got to say I'm impressed with you.  In fact you're the first presumed-Green I've met who isn't afraid to utter the words "nuclear power."  Most of them assume nuclear produces climate change for some reason, and when corrected, immediately change the subject. The reason is obvious.

Greens have to embrace nuclear or admit that climate change isn't as cataclysmic as they are making it out to be.  Their expensive wind and solar fantasies have proven impractical and people are starting to point out their biofuel plants are counterproductive.  STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES IDIOTS!  Democrats are hardly progressive on climate change solutions, embracing 30 year old technology that is not a solution.

Nuclear power is far down my list of concerns, the nuclear football is at the top.  If Biden is elected, who is going to control it?  Will Stacy Abrams step up to push the button?  Maybe AOC will advise?  After China invades Taiwan, how will Biden's controllers react?  What are their foreign policies?  How will they react to a Philippine Island invasion after that?  

I don't see Tiller's point that the refs are untouchable when they were disciplined and didn't work the rest of the season.

Bernie listed as a winner.  Admittedly I don't know much about this Buttigieg guy but Sanders is probably the best candidate, IMO.  He is known nationally.

Along came a snyder and would not be a husker.

Agree.  If this happens the effect of it, combined with the paying of college athletes (which that part, i am fine with)., will make the NFL liked for the reasons college ball is at the moment.  I bet you the NFL wants this.......cause it will take the main reason people prefer college sports, and turn it on it's head.  There will be no reason to prefer college sports.....which will profit the NFL and NBA even more.  Anyone who can't see this is playing the fool.

These changes are turning CFB into a semi professional sport with easily exploited rules.  The NFL is more honest- paid to play.  If you're going to watch a professional sport you might as well watch the best.  NFL > CFB. 

A player on a top tier team who isn't on the 2 deep and sees he'll never get there will most likely transfer.  This will free up a scholarship for a good player on another team to transfer in that wants to contend for a championship.  Top talent will congregate even more in the top teams.

Dude, these kids are already getting a free education off of their skills and name anyway. If they didn't have the skills and name they wouldn't have been recruited to go on scholarship at their dream school in the first place. And if these kids really build their name and skills up, they're going to make a ton of money in the NFL anyway. You also got to think of the fact that "what if a kid is a bust in talent, does an unforgiveable crime, plays absolutely terrible in game, has terrible grades, transfers, etc. Would you like the fact that that player drained your school, fans, community, etc of money if that ever happens? That would lay cause for the fans to reeeaally berate the "players" and not the "coaches" then knowing those kids are doing horrible while sucking their money up. You can see it now:

 

"This damn guy (kid) is sucking our money up while losing every single freaking game that's important to us, while throwing interceptions, can't rush the passer, can't block to save his life, etc"

Schools should be allowed to cut non-contributing players since they will essentially be getting paid once boosters figure out how to exploit this new rule.  That will allow them to buy a new player that could contribute.  I would be in favor of getting rid of the guaranteed 4 year scholarships.

Sweet.  Issue cameras to our bagmen and everything is legal!
