In 2022, global fossil fuel subsidies reached a record $7 trillion, which is 7.1% of the global GDP. This is more than governments spend on education annually and about two-thirds of what they spend on healthcare. - International Monetary Fund.

Jimmy Kimmel summed it up neatly:

Congress being GOP means that the has a has clearer path on new laws he’d like to pass; Mitch indicated the filibuster isn’t going anywhere, but he’s not going to be Senate Majority leader, so who the fuck knows what happens.

I love that the arguments “for” Trump’s next term not being awful are to claim that he’s not really going to do all of the stuff that he campaigned on doing... Sure, if he doesn’t do the stupid stuff he said he would do, then I guess I won’t criticize him for that, but what’s the point of campaigns where candidates…

They tried to repeal Obamacare, McCain saved it.

What ISN’T tougher than a bag of nails? Tissue paper? Eggs? Skin?

I should also add. The first Trump term was terrible for my company. We got screwed hard by tariffs the first time around. It was difficult and expensive for us to secure the things we needed. Lots of raw goods are made in China and India which are then finished here. Because of tariffs and scarcity input costs like…

I’m in the same boat as you.

Hope the lawyer is included in the jail time. He's supposed to be an officer of the court as much as helping his client. Hiding assets and lies about the other lawyer are neither.

This is human trafficking, right? Elon technically committed human trafficking?

This is the sign you’re not going to like the candidate that’s hiring you.

Government takes control of SpaeX and Starlink for “national security”.

Imminent domain.

Apply the law.  I am so fucking sick of billionaires and celebs and uber rich assholes pulling shit that the rest of us get the book thrown at us for.  He lied on his form?  Pull his citizenship.  He knew he was lying....then his political contributions are illegal.  Prosecute him.

You are assuming that a 2nd Trump presidency would play by conventional rules. The supreme court has given every indication that they will support and uphold whatever executive orders a Republican president wants to sign. They go into the rulings with their minds made up, and then go searching for the weakest…

I think the proper thing is to brake, but not swerve.  I’ve never heard of “Just drive through it”.

Great excuse: “Hitting a deer is an edge case”.

Can’t wait for the first court case where a lawyer goes before the judge and tells her that the toddler his client just creamed is “an edge case”.
