Strange that

there are many reasons we need to win in the fall, but one of them is that i simply am not going to abide by letting both the brits and the french lecture us

*MACRON'S GROUP PROJECTED TO WIN MORE SEATS THAN FAR RIGHT *LEFT ALLIANCE SET FOR 170-215 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *LE PEN'S GROUP SET FOR 110-158 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES *FRENCH LEFT SET FOR SHOCK ELECTION VICTORY, PROJECTIONS SHOW

I say we elect George Clinton and change to a parliamentary funkadelic system

If this resonates with you as an expert in your field, please feel free to hit me up on how to pitch an op-ed to MSNBC dot com

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

GORILLAS.BAS was developed in order to show off many of the features of the QBASIC - both as a language and an IDE - to new users. It, in turn, would be used by thousands of kids as their primary usage of the computer.

Using many levers, the policies also encouraged families and fleets to shift to electric and hybrid vehicles. Again, they shifted reality and expectations fundamentally. Read more from the White House Council of Economic Advisers here: www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

The president of the United States should be asking Congress and 2/3 of the states to amend the constitution to be more clear about this kind of horseshit. If that’s not what it says, change it.

Yes, maybe there's some clever version of hardball Biden's team can come up with, something that doesn't involve ordering assassinations. But one thing he *should* be able to say is "I reject the idea that the president is above the law, and I vow never to use this illegitimate 'immunity' defense."

People said Greenpeace was nuts in 2009 to predict 921GW of installed solar by 2030. Last year there was 1,419GW. Cost dropped 95% from 2008-20 and it’s dropping faster. There will be vast amounts of cheap clean energy in the future; we just need to use it. www.economist.com/interactive/...
