As the Financial Times reports, "after trailing for years, Texas has become America's clean energy giant." A quarter-century ago, California's annual clean-source power generation sat at roughly twice that of its big-state rival. But like some Californians themselves, the output was erratic and unstable.

Trump's campaign raked in a massive cash haul in the hours after the guilty verdict.
Atop Silicon Valley venture capitalist announced Thursday that he donated $300,000 to Donald Trump's re-election effort after the former president's conviction.

Shaun Maguire, a general partner at Sequoia Capital, is not only donating to Trump's campaign. He is supporting Trump — no matter the cost.

"Back in 2016 I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such I donated to Hilary Clinton's campaign and voted for her," Maguire explained on X. "Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I'm supporting Trump.

I know that I'll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me," he added. "But despite this, I still believe it's the right thing to do."

Maguire, moreover, believes the Democrats have used double standards and "lawfare" to target Trump because he is the Democratic Party's No. 1 opponent.

"I believe Trump was one of the best foreign policy presidents in decades, and during the most complex period in almost a century," Maguire wrote.

Maguire is not the only American to put his money where his mouth is.

On Friday, the Trump campaign announced it raised $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in the hours after Trump was convicted, a record single-day haul for the campaign.

Even more shocking is that nearly 30% of the donations came from first-time donors. That means the verdict motivated voters, who may not have financially supported Trump's campaign otherwise, to spend their hard-earned money to help send Trump back to the White House.

Gone are the days when political bias was checked at the courthouse door. The rule of law has been drained of any meaning. As we've seen with the Derek Chauvin trial, the federal prosecutions of January 6 and abortion protesters, and now Donald Trump in Manhattan, a defendant cannot get a fair trial or impartial jury in a blue jurisdiction if he finds himself on the "wrong" side of the political divide. He is guilty by virtue of who he is.

Some legal experts are saying Supreme Court will likely grant Trump partial presidential immunity.

The nerve of the assholes.

Quote from: caskur on May 31, 2024, 12:11:23 AMJoe, the left are no longer the left of the old days where their main concern was for working men's rights. They have gone completely nuts and they are using us because it's about power now.

I not saying the right is better either... we have two extremists and both extremes are causing a great divide. We have to recognize it and we have to be clever about it..  I see Trump as being closer to middle ground because he isn't one of them power hungry politicians but a man who wants to work everything out... I could be wrong but I don't get that feeling.

I feel he did more right things than wrong things... what do you think?

We have told Joe the troll there is no right wing or socialist wing in North American politics.

I didn't say they want to appease the pro Hamas wankers. I am saying they are doing everything they can and it will cost them donation money. Unlike Trump, the democRATs rely on billioniares.

I´m envious of the guys who get to haul cargo through those vast distances and open plains of the USA.


Buy your own semitruck and haul cargo.

Most long haul truckers in Canada are Sikh Pakis. They took over the industry, undercut the competition by underbidding jobs and then bought up all the rigs from their competitors they forced into bankruptcy at fire sale prices.

I aint really a conservative. I want good wages period.

At least you admit you aint serious. And that is why folks ignore you.

Between now and July 11, Trump will be able to move about as he pleases. He will also no longer have to adhere to gag-order restrictions which previously prevented him from discussing witnesses or the judge and his family members. Trump has previously noted that Merchan's daughter is a political consultant who raises funds for high-profile Democrats such as Rep. Adam Schiff of California.

Trump will also likely participate in a pre-sentencing interview with a probation officer, who will then submit a sentencing report to Merchan.

Judge Merchan will have almost exclusive authority to determine Trump's sentence, and he has several options to consider, including jail.

Though Trump has been convicted of 34 felonies, they are nonviolent, class E felonies, the least serious in the state of New York, and often don't result in jail time. Trump also has no prior criminal record and at 77 years old is not likely to be a threat to the public, all factors that could play in his favor.

Cheryl Bader, a law professor at Fordham University, thinks it's "unlikely" that Merchan will give Trump time behind bars. "Given that he is a former president, has a Secret Service detail and is also the presumptive Republican nominee, I think a term of incarceration would be logistically very difficult," she told the Guardian,

iden and the Democratic Party are doing everything they can to appease the radical pro-Palestine, anti-Israel wing of the left. However, as the protesters' demands grow louder, they may be in for a rude awakening come the Democratic National Convention in August — which they're choosing to have in Chicago.

Chicago doesn't just have an insane crime rate. It also has the largest Palestinian population in the United States.

Counterterrorism expert and Capital Research Center investigative researcher Ryan Mauro is concerned, not just for Chicago but for the country.

I believe in paying folks a fair wage for what they do. A lot of the jobs that law would apply to are quickly being replaced with AI.

See what I mean. This aint a troll thread, but you treat them all the same. I am pretty sure this is why the Seoul brother gets under your skin by ignoring your lame trolling no matter how hard you hump his leg.
