If you think about it "Golden Dome" is a perfect name. A shield made of gold would be flashy, expensive, and look cool. It might even stop a few blows from some random attacker. But it would be of limited protection against an all out attack by a well armed attacker.

From the article: "This cohort study found no increase in SCA/SCD in young competitive athletes in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that reports asserting otherwise were overestimating the cardiovascular risk of COVID-19 infection, vaccination, and myocarditis," the authors conclude.

A discussion maybe. But Trump and Musk are engaged in a monologue. Or more accurately, an incoherent and deranged rant. If they wanted a discussion they would be doing this in congress, not through unconstitutional executive actions.

If you are going to quote Dr King, you should actually read what he wrote and said. That one quote does not encapsulate his views. In fact, a thorough reading of his works would show that he called for far more dramatic adjustment than the small half measure corrections we label DEI.

So, veteran hiring preferences should be the next thing Trump dumps with his EO?

People earning positions in life instead of getting handouts and special consideration? So, you basically oppose 99% of Trumps current wildly unqualified appointees?

Well, economic growth was booming under Obama and it took Trump a good 3 years to screw it up (it was shaky before COVID hit). But you probably are unaware of what the actual economy was doing, because you got all of your economic news from right wing conspiracy sources.

It is impossible for US oil production alone to tank the price of gas. At best, it could lower the price by 10-20%, at which point new wells would become increasingly unprofitable.

According to the Washington Post they control over 40% of the market in some towns (Rayleigh, NC for example) https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/interactive/2025/realpage-lawsuit-rent-map/

Plus, they can do what they always do and distract their constituents with pointless hearings that give them opportunities to showboat and get talking points broadcast on rightwing outlets. That generally gets people to forget that they aren't voting on anything.

So, instead you are taking an extra 4-6 days off of work to get to Yellowstone/Teton and back? Are you camping, or are you staying in Hotels along the way? When I did that trip I flew and the group of us rented a minivan.

Same here, except I have always used Firstname.Lastname@gmail for the account, and I'm glad I have always used that "." because it allows me to filter out all the guy in Arizona telling every company under the sun his email is FirstnameLastname@gmail Luckily he seems to have mostly figured out...

Only 1.5 - 1.8? You're quite the optimist. The way the world is going politically, I think we'll be lucky if we keep it below 2.5.

There are several fundamental differences: - Gold is actually used and traded for other things regularly and has thousands of years of acceptance. Don't underestimate the value of having thousands of years of acceptance when things go pear shaped. - The largest use of gold is for jewelry...

Things they dont agree with?Such as? Helping the poor? Helping the needy? Providing education? Attempting to provide access to equal protection under the law? I used to hold the same opinion until I got out into the real world and discovered: - Most conservatives I encountered gave little to...

Well given that the data you showed starts in the middle of the Bush recession, the biggest economic disaster since the depression, your analysis is incomplete. If you look at economic growth and job growth, Obama handed Trump a rapidly growing economy and Trump didn't screw it up too badly...

I would take complaints about EV prices seriously if the best selling vehicles in the country weren't $70k + pickup trucks.

He say's he doesn't support Project 2025, but he surrounds himself with the Authors of project 2025 and plans to appoint those authors to positions in the government where they will be in position to carry out the plans spelled out in Project 2025. Do you expect me to believe a known liar, or...

He may understand a few things, but he didn't get rich by knowing anything about government or government efficiencies. In fact, he has a proven track record of making assumptions that are incorrect and getting burned by them.

Not exactly. It's the same group of people, but they didn't call themselves Republicans back then.
