  • Yeah but it was more so talking about how when Democrats are in power it’s okay to criticize both Democrat and republicans, however once Republicans are in power you’re not allowed to criticize Republicans because the power stigma shifts.

    something that I’ve started noticing as of late as well. If you try to criticize the Republican Party you’ll be met with resistance, arguments and full shutdown leadin to personal attacks, where if you criticize the Democratic Party, they will still disagree with what you say but they’ll at least listen to you.


  • While I think desalination is the way to go in the long run, I am concerned about the state of Texas being the one to do it. You know corners will be cut every step of the way there. Desalination is still eco unfriendly even when dealt with properly, if you cut those corners the damages can be devastating. The brine created destroys the eco-balance where-ever its spread over even in low amounts. Killing basically everything present. A large scale of such a project might also impact more than just the coastal waters in the gulf, that current gets swept past florida, so this could also be effecting florida’s coastal industry as well.



  • I mean, they posted the other day funding for the same fund between Biden and Trump, they are definitly funneling money in to do this. I think it should be expected at this point, should be looking into how to outlaw it rather than worrying if its going to happen. If it’s legal, it will be abused. The fact that it’s legal in the first place is the issue.

    Being said, it goes to say, I believe an anti-trust case still goes through legal provisions, so I think he could just pardon the entire case.

    I foresee part of his funding being explicitly for that.

    Sadly the US government functions vastly on the honor and trust system, if you have elected officials that aren’t honorary, the system can and will be abused as there isn’t very much actual checks and balances on it for individual cases. The checks and balances existing almost completely skip the supreme court, and the actual positions of power such as the speaker, the VP and the president do not have many checks and balances for the position itself, relying on the branch itself to keep itself in line and once someone that is found untrustworthy is placed into the position, its likely not going to be reverted. It’s very much a “we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing” scenario.
