“Trump pushes every conceivable envelope, violates every notion of civility, decency, and common sense, and his team simply hands out more Kool-Aid and demands that the world slurp it up.”

For decades, under Democrats & Republicans, public comments about potential environmental impacts in drafts of proposed projects & federal policies were required. But the Trump regime no longer shares drafts, making informed public comment practically impossible. e360.yale.edu/features/pub...

I know drummer Max Bassin is technically 20-25% of the band GEESE, but I often think he's more like 110% It's only when I consider the whole live band, five good humans playing well together, that I realize GEESE is clocking in around 900%

It’s not enough to be disgusted by Trump‘s horrid policies. It’s his steadfast lies, the big ones he’s clung to for years, that make him unfit for office. To save ourselves, we have to end the Trump regime.

When Trump makes his big claims like a pitch man (“stolen 2020 election”), he shows that he doesn’t inhabit the real world. He’s telling us he is delusional. To believe Trump is to believe a charlatan.

16 year old boy driving a gatdam giant Range Rover, speeding, crashes into a parked car and kills the guy inside. So this kid will lose his driving privileges for the rest of his life, right? To set an example, to warn off others from driving foolishly? They'll take away his license forever, right?

Today, the Trump administration finalized a rollback of fuel economy standards for passenger cars and trucks. This move effectively kills the nation's CAFE standards, a program that has saved drivers $321 billion in fuel costs since 2010. Read UCS Statement: act.ucs.org/46NApCk
“The federal government’s decision to gut fuel economy standards is a handout to automakers and oil companies that will strap American consumers already struggling with an affordability crisis...Weakening these standards means drivers will spend more on fuel while having fewer options to choose efficient vehicles."

"They must always coddle drivers about how hard things are for them, how they’re victims of the system as much as anyone else." A nice take-down of nice boomer Peter Gleick. The old have screwed us all with their addiction to easy fossil-fueled living.

The reason tech oligarchs scoop up media properties is to control societal narratives about their products and themselves. They want to blunt criticism and shape public perception because deep down they know that no one wants any of this.
