Oh fuck no. We need to demand what we deserve in the voting booth, and MAKE them fix this shit. They’ve been doing fine for a long LONG Time.

Here’s a fun fact for my friends who don’t actually know how our government works: the president cannot make any trade agreement. That power is reserved to Congress. Not sure about withdrawing from such an agreement…logic says that’s under Congressional purvey as well, but on this I admit to ignorance.
Yes…I could Google it, but where’s the fun in that when I can just stir the pot online until someone else does it for me and tells me I’m wrong…or right?

Google can basically show whatever the fuck they want in their search results…unless they start skewing results to their profit at the expense of the competition. Then it’s not so much a free speech issue as it is a fair trade issue, regulated under commerce statutes.

“The First Amendment does not dictate that any non-government-run platform give any US citizen a platform to say or do whatever they want. The First Amendment does not require that Google allow any content in its search engine for any reason. Google’s search engine is not covered by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and U.S. law does not guarantee Freedom of Speech on Google’s search engine as such.”

There’s no evidence to support his claim, but he says it anyway. The FBI refutes it, but it’s too late…Trump’s base of knucklehead sheeple now believes it is the truth anyway.
THIS is the definition of #FakeNews folks. Creating alternative reality by speaking it into existence, even though it’s 100% unsubstantiated bullshit.
The truly amazing part is how many idiots think he’s not lying. Even more incredible is how many more GOP leaders and voters tolerate the lies and absolute fiction because they think it’s “better than the alternative”. You know…the ACTUAL TRUTH from the “liberal” press. Keep in mind that the root of “liberal” actually means “FREE”.
Wow. How fucked are we?

I’m a huge proponent of solar in general, but I’m not a fan of floating solar. Aquasystems…the ecosystems of of lakes, ponds and even the ocean, are far too fragile. Robbing the lakes of that much surface area, creating artificial shade below it, could have catastrophic effects on the plant and fish below that depend on the sun for their existence.

It’s not as if I ate less meat and cheese when they were saying it was BAD for your heart, so this is really just a confirmation to keep on doing what we’re doing. More steak and cheeseburgers, please…with bacon!
