I watched the CNN hit piece. It's still essentially a difference of opinion. But the default position of MSM is to call every difference of opinion a deception until otherwise proven not. That practice is deceptive in itself.

The fact that they were violently assaulted is typical behavior for a Sharia Muslim, which London is infested with.

Fascists also divide the citizenry into "protected groups" and "oppressors"

Authoritative campaigns are waged by the government to force the oppressors out and have only the protected groups remain.

Which party supports special protected groups again?

Facism exists with an authoritative, controlling government which limits the free market and the opportunities of its citizens, and promotes massive amounts of censorship using the authority of the state to censor opposition to maintain the one party rule.

Which party is that again?

It's so fun watching this pretentious airhead go from smiling and laughing while calling Barr a liar, and then transform into the victim in less than 30 seconds.

The MSM throws about the term liar as flippantly as they throw around the term racist.

It doesn't mean anything anymore, their attempts to censor free speech have the Streisand effect.

Doesn't matter. Anything that can be remotely construed as an opinion is now a factual lie.

On most sites I looked at, the actual quote was “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer,”

So I claim that YOU are lying about the quote, and I have evidence.

the waste is tiny in volume and completely controllable. France's approach by sinking nuclear waste miles down into the ocean is brilliant, as even if a phenomenally small happenstance caused the containment to leak, the immense volume of the ocean ensures there will be less radiation from the leak than background radiation.

It's really sad. They ban straws in their "developed" countries because they worry about ocean pollution, yet still send their recyclables across the Pacific Ocean to Malaysia, knowing full well that nimby attitude is the cause of the problem.

@Ramshutu
Seems like any abortion statute is conferring legal personhood on a fetus at various stages of development by conferring rights of life to a fetus that can then supersede the rights of a woman.

Until the Congress sets the standard for personhood, the issue will always be at the arbitrary whims of State law.

If you think regulations are not purchased for the sole purpose of destroying competition, then you have not been paying attention lately. Even Google recently actively promoted regulations within in it's own industry, not out of altruism, but because they knew what it would do to their competition. Net Neutrality was heavily financed and promoted by those industustries that had the most to gain by destroying competition.
The main goal of a company in order to maximize profit is to destroy competition either through a superior product, or by using the force of government to smash the competition with regulations. Government has been a willing mercenary in the crony capitalism game for decades, taking money from anyone at any time, all the while lying to the voters that if they did not do it, then corporations would most CERTAINLY kill their consumers. Any business that kills or harms their consumers can't remain as a monopoly without government force.

It's a pure dream to believe most regulations in D.C. are driven solely by altruism. It's always a mixture of crony capitalism and voter misinformation. 

The campaign donation lists do not lie, especially when big money donates to BOTH parties, then you know the system is rigged.


As construction on solar panel farms progresses, the costs will rise, as there exist "golden zones" for solar energy where you get a profitable return on your investment. Solar panels vary in efficiency depending where they are on the globe. As these regions are saturated and panel farms must find other locations to generate energy, the price per gigawatt produce will most certainly rise. Nuclear Power does not have any "golden zones" of productivity. There is also the nagging problem of peak energy use which occurs after the sun sets. Solar isn't going to save the planet.

In the UK, despite regulations and restrictions, most waste still ends up in Malaysia.

Which then ends up in the Pacific Ocean.

All of these points are true, but not relevant to Nuclear power in the USA.

USA does not build their nuclear plants in tidal zones, so comparisons to Japan are not helpful.

We (along with much of Europe) do not currently recycle our solar panel waste and other plastics and electronics and instead ship it of to Indonesia (formerly China until they banned the practice) where most of the byproducts of recycling goes straight into the Pacific Ocean to the dismay of Democrats. 

The basic designs of plants built in the 60's and 70's are safe and structurally sound, and the massive costs of new construction most definitely has its roots in in over regulations that did not exist during the construction of the viable plants built in the 60's and the 70's. Many of these regulations were purchased by the coal and oil and gas industry. These industries purchase both Democrats and Republicans to impose regulations to destroy the competition, because that is how regulations work in a crony economy. You can easily verify that these industries donate to both parties. Even Trump donated to the Democrats for that reason. USA does not have a free market.

In the USA Solar is still far more subsidized on a wide scale than Nuclear power if you choose to break it down by dollars spent vs gigawatt produced.
The reason for this is the creation of subsidy policies responding to persistent voter fears from decades of misinformation about Nuclear Power.

Considering the safety record of plants built in the 60's and the 70's...it's clear that the NRC today has much more costly regulations in place for new construction that probably are not warranted. And they are not as subsidized as you might think considering the voter pushback due to media frenzy on the fake dangers of Nuclear plants. Solar get far more subsidies even though the waste from solar panels are far more toxic in volume and far less controllable than the relatively small volumes of Nwaste.

Thousands of people die in coal mines every year. Even more die from air pollution, much more deaths than from simple global warming where you can simply relocate to a better climate. Many people also die from LNG extractions as well, even though it burns cleanly.

While coal will never be obsolete as we need it to make steel and other things and you can't generate the heat you need from solar, Nuclear power can save lives today by replacing many coal and gas power plants. Not a single person died from 3 mile island, but the coal plants the sensational media event helped to create ended up killing millions.

She has a role to play by representing the free stuff voter coalition that wants a big authoritarian government to take wealth from productive people and give it to unproductive people to equalize the feels.

Stephen Crowder once observed that it's more likely that you won't get called back to a job interview if you were not raised with a male figure in your life. Around 70% of black kids are born without a father in the house.

The issue is real. Males have become disposable figures in the family paradigm. Like convenient razors.

Maybe the best a man can get is actually a father and not a Gillette razor?

I’ve wondered a lot about this. It’s a pretty strange result considering that corporate America is generally on board with the progressive agenda and has been for decades. I wonder if it’s at least partially a class thing. Like we know that Robert Bruce III on a resume beats D’Marcus, but what about BillyBob vs Cletus? 

Person who had the most influence in your life?

Eminem.
