Centrist Sisyphus

How many times will we see Repubs building support for lies, then casually saying they have to follow the lie because there’s support for it?

“Free speech! No, not for you.”

It’s not, for people with any conscience about spending money.

Kirk was a political agitator, nothing more. The ongoing attempt at hagiography for “Charlie” must be resisted.

AZ Repubs now want to name a major Phoenix freeway after him. They’re not going away.

Your 2nd paragraph describes Trump II.

Internationally and domestically.

“A nation of laws, not men” used to be our mantra. No more.

1st: We can’t have Sharia Law
Next: We can’t have mosques, they follow Sharia
Then: We can’t have Muslims, they…

It needs to be stopped early.

We have an addled “Beautiful Coal!” president. That’s why his minions have to follow with stupid edicts.

I saw reports that Trump "walked back" a statement. Reading further it was clear he drunkenly stumbled back a slurred utterance.

STOP sanewashing.

That face reflects a lot of hamstring strains. Good luck to the 9ers for the 9 games of production he’ll give them.

When a politician makes a cynical move, I can usually see the benefit to them. That’s missing here: WHAT is the upside to Polis if he pardons/commutes an election-denying felon’s rightful sentence?

Brave, brave Sir Kilmeade, telling others to take a $50M risk…not to mention the risk to their lives.

My nomination for the most manufactured story of suspense for 2026. It’s the new “Al Capone’s vault.”

Those goals are entirely tactical, irrelevant if we’re not fighting them. Strategic masters they’re not.

I’m gonna get ahead of the hypocrisy by remembering the conservative outrage when Biden released oil from our reserves to lower the price. He was “Dangerously lowering our stockpile just to avoid the high gas prices HE CREATED!!!”

Ahh, the Kari Lake years! Good times for AZ Dems when Repubs showed their radicalism in who they nominated.

Echoes of Trump’s approach to covid, which went so well for him.

Hah. APS (in AZ) uses multiple sources; renewable, nuclear, nat. gas, coal. I produce more from my solar panels than I use, but the EV charge cost I quoted only took into account my utility rate.

I know people in other states typically pay a lot more.

She can stop at my house in N. AZ and you can charge for free, since I only pay $0.035/kWh (non-peak). Phoenix and back, 250 miles, is under $3 in my EV.

The impacts are so localized it's hard to assess. I still pay $0.035/kWh (non-peak), making my EV dirt cheap to drive.

"Putin LIKES ME!"

Yeah, there's a reason, putz.

Staring in the face of a fossil fuel price spike, Congress reiterated, "No we are going backwards."

Shame.

In several trips driving the cheapest gas states, the lowest I saw was $2.24/gal. More typical was $2.50-$2.80.

Trump: not an addled, desperate man tweeting at 2am. Instead he’s ”doing the weave” describing his personal SAVE Act.

Hmmm, how many solar panels and grid batteries could we have installed for the same cost as protecting a few months of oil shipments?

That’s the unanswerable question. At least until years from now when formerly top-secret docs are released.

That economic rejuvenation was led by an 80yo, which is unacceptable! So we elected a 79yo bankruptcy specialist.

I hope they can also say F*** and S***, because they’re the best way to describe the multi-faceted failures of Trump II.

Trump has air support, the Wicked Witch had her flying monkeys. How did “SURRENDER, DOROTHY” work out for her?

“America First” surrendered. Unilaterally. Battery manufacturing plants have closed and planned ones have been cancelled. We were on the right track until we elected the “green new scam, Beautiful Coal” president.
