So, Might makes Right? We should attack Canada and take it over, because we can and there is no one that can stop us? At the same time, we can cede all of Europe to Russia, all of Asia to China, and just have the three superpower countries controlling the world? At what point is it okay to...

I'm not arguing we should have but the claim was that Trump defeated ISIS. He did not and, while greatly weakened, ISIS still exists today. As for Russia and Ukraine, it isn't quite as simple as you are trying to frame it. For example, it talks that Russia has lost a lot of equipment and is...

Sorry, not even close. First, the post above recognizes what was done before Trump took office, that Trump tries to take credit for. What Trump actually did was abandon our allies and leave Syria to Russia -- it was Russian troops that largely regained control of Syria for the corrupt Syrian...

They are standing up for themselves and fighting their own battle, we're just helping even the odds by helping with better equipment. Actually, very few of our tax dollars -- as a whole -- are going to Ukraine. Instead, we are largely providing our old equipment to Ukraine, with replacements...

When you live in a metropolitan area that is bigger than several US states (about 8 of them), a power outage that covers that area (and beyond) is a huge issue. That includes huge issues with transportation as, without traffic control systems, such as lights, traffic very quickly bogs down...

So, from what I'm hearing, Putin should be able to attack and conquer any country weaker than he is? It is also worth noting that the US is not playing the role of "police officer" -- if that was what they were doing there would be US troops on the ground directly fighting the Russian troops --...

I realized that I should probably add one further comment; that this was based on my saying that if you got home and felt you needed more range -- after driving that 160 miles -- that you could just stop at a charger for 5 minutes. I wasn't proposing you stop for a full charge, instead...

The "three days" is based on Ford's own calculations, if a home uses 30 kWH of electricity per day; though it is worth pointing out the EV6 would allegedly give you two and a half days (based on the same calculations). And, the big answer, in a power outage you actually try to conserve energy...

And maybe Donald Trump will hold a press conference tomorrow, in which he states he's going to change his plea to guilty in all his trials, end his campaign for the Presidency, and admit to being a fraud and grifter. I think this is just as likely to happen as Biden doing what you suggested above.

Did you not notice the video, where his power lasted 5 days from his Ioniq 5? If power is out for a week or more, then you have many more issues than just the lack of home power. Why will the batteries discharge? Again, maybe you are the batteries as a power source for your home but that...

I'm curious why it is from four years ago, when Trump was President and the effects of the Pandemic were just beginning to be felt? It is worth pointing out that much of why Trump lost in 2020 was his actions in the last 8 months of his Presidency, which is part of the "4 years ago."

Are you thinking Biden has a copy of these Suspicious Activity Reports and can just hand them to the media? Or are you saying he should order the government to release them, something no president has ever done? Particularly since most of those reports have to do with Hunter Biden, not Joe (that...

Blackouts already cause major disruptions, even with the entire country depending on gasoline for their travel. Yes, there are ways that stations can pump gasoline when there is no power, if they are prepared and chose to. Of course, then the issues are how people pay for the gasoline, since...

No, the Justice Department is not, this has nothing to do with the Department of Justice. Instead, this is the Manhattan DA that filed the charges and got a Grand Jury to indict.

Then why was former VP Pence not charged?

From what I've seen, it comes from "Liberty or Death" which, in American History, allegedly originates from a speech Patrick Henry gave at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775. In the speech, he argues for war and his last line was, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give...

That's nice. At the same time, Texas has had just as many blackouts as California over a similar time period and has not led in EV adoption. As such, I'm not sure what the point is. Except you need to do the similar graph for gasoline, if you are going to be fair. My issue wasn't that a 5 cent...

Yes, there is the supply and demand issue, though they also subject to state regulations as to electrical pricing -- though that will vary by state (some states are more customer friendly), and it will be worst in states that do not have competition between electrical companies. To give an...

Did I say they were directly comparable? You appear to be building a straw man. What I'm saying is you have densely populated countries (much of North Western Europe, Japan, etc.), you have extremely large countries with smaller populations that are somewhat more diverse (Canada). You have South...

You say this but basically every first world nation, other than the US, has some type of government paid health care for all. It doesn't just work in Sweden, but in Japan, Canada, etc -- despite the fact all the various countries are quite different, with different sized nation, different sized...
