The problem of evil men. I would start by seperating the evil billionaires from their property.



But where do we go from here? Unlike the British parliamentary system, the U.S. has no break-the-glass off switch that lets us get rid of a deeply unpopular and delusional leader. Impeachment won’t happen, because this isn’t the Nixon era: Trump’s party is too corrupt to help save the country.

So we must begin to ask ourselves: in the 1364 days left of the Trump administration, how much damage can he do? And what can those of us who want to save the country do to minimize the damage?


Nixon was ONLY impeached because of overwhelming public outcry, even from the voters that put him in office.

It wasn't an "era" thing; the GOP had no intention of impeaching him until the tide turned on him.


And as a result Fox News was created to ensure that their base would never turn on them again. They certainly seem to have done a good job of inoculating their viewers against pesky things like reality.

Nixon wasn't impeached. Had he not been pardoned the last 50 years would have been much different, probably better. Instead his goons moved into Reagan's WH.


And it was well on the way to falling out of the news until a plane crash that killed a sitting Congressman. And in the wreckage, they find the wife of one of the conspirators with $10k in cash in her purse. He eventually has a breakdown worrying about what happens to his kids if he goes to prison for a long time, and asks for a plea deal.


Unprompted quotes without commentary automatically get a downvote from me.


You are the first one who ever complained.


I know I’m not alone, because I regularly see pure quotes downvoted. If you want to make a point or ask a question, state it. Merely quoting something is lazy and doesn’t add to the discussion. It also appears to assume that the readers haven’t read the article yet. It’s annoying to get a seemingly random quote from an article one just read, without any insight given on why the commenter is posting the particular quote. Imagine if everyone would only post quotes of the parts that caught their fancy, without further comment.


Just chiming in to reinforce this take. It's not clear to me what it brings to the discussion to copy and paste an arbitrary portion of the text I just read.

Why did you pick that particular passage? Do you agree with it, or disagree with it (why)? What makes it particularly relevant or important to emphasize? Etc.

I mean, you could, but you'd be wrong, if you're assuming I'm the same person as the other commenter. I only chimed in because of the "no one else complained".

I'm not sure why "could you contribute your own thoughts on the matter" is so controversial to provoke such anger


Over the last decade, he says, tooth decay in children he’s seen has become more common, more aggressive and more severe. Many of his young patients have so much damage that he has to work with them under general anesthesia.

“the Republican supermajority isn’t interested in a good-faith energy debate. They’re interested in handing TVA over to big utilities and fossil fuel donors, locking us into expensive, inflexible systems with no public oversight.”


Is it me or is this site incomplete?


"Many people project demand for our industry will go from 3 percent to 99 percent of total generation... an additional 29 gigawatts by 2027 and 67 more gigawatts by 2030," he asserted.

Regex is much easier if you don't do it all at once. It's perfectly acceptable to, say, trim all the leading spaces, store the result in a temp variable, trim all the trailing spaces, store the result in a temp variable, remove all the hyphens. etc. etc.

Everyone tries to create the platonic ideal regex that does everything in one line.
