US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

It was implied, stated, or hinted at that Beyonce would be showing up to give a performance, like a lot of other musicians have been doing for her rallies, starting with Megan Thee Stallion and some Pizza Hut on the side. That was not delivered as it was presented.


GOD THEY ARE SO FUCKING RETARDED. They should KNOW how many people are parasocially attached to that woman. It's a lot of people!

I assumed she would perform.

Why wouldn't she perform? My God, people! I almost feel compelled to help these poor fools.

Decent video of said October Suprise going boom. One fuck of a fireball.

war crime, that explosion was from explosive iranian children.

So, what is the whole Tallow oil thing exactly? I'm mostly aware of sunflower and olive oil. Where does Tallow come into the equation? Just want to understand it's properties a bit.

It's just beef fat. It was specifically a thing at McDonalds (not sure of the other fast food chains) and it was the thing that gave their fries a distinct, and superior flavor. They stopped because "beef fat bad for you". I'm old enough to remember the switchover. All fast food fries have been pretty much shit ever since.

Something tells me firing Taylor Lorenz, was just a start.
Also LFMAO the leftist journoscum really fucking thought that the billionaires would back them after the political winds change.

Billionaires: "What have you done for me lately?" I think a lot of Leftist journo attack dogs are going to lose their jobs in the next four years.

For example, you burn 1 gallon at a certain usage pattern in an average sedan, you get X energy and Y pollutants. What would a power plant do in comparison assuming you convert its energy into electricity for the EV to use in the same usage case? Have always wondered.

If you assume a similar fuel (natural gas in the power plant vs gasoline), it does work out better.

Rough numbers but the power plant itself is almost twice as efficient as the car engine in average use. You do have losses in electricity transmission and in the charging conversion and of course in the vehicle drive and motor, but overall it’s a lot better. That’s why EVs are quoted at well over 100MPG “equivalent”.

But you have to consider that whatever fraction of renewable or nuclear power you have is also usable by the EV which it is not by the regular car. (The downside is that some coal is still used for power generation in the US)

And one final factor, people always leave out the energy used in the process of extracting, refining and transporting the gasoline when making comparisons like this. It’s long been claimed that enough electricity is used to refine a gallon of gas, to drive an EV like 40 miles.

Guardian newspaper, 2 days later: "REEEEEE DRUMPF IS A FASCIST

If "fascism" is defined as tyranny and putting the nation over the individual, then that's "woke" summed up -- those SJWs fixate on "the good" of "the community", and of course they're wannabe commies who want power. So with that definition, it's "woke" projection yet again as they claim Orange Man is "fascist" again for the 9001st time.

So, what is the whole Tallow oil thing exactly? I'm mostly aware of sunflower and olive oil. Where does Tallow come into the equation? Just want to understand it's properties a bit.

Tallow is rendered fat. It's what we used to fry things in for centuries, until sometime in the past 50 years or so they discovered how to turn industrial waste into "oil" -- that's seed oil or vegetable oil. Crisco, Canola Oil, "Vegetable Oil," etc etc. All the same general shit.

It's cheap. It works. It's readily available.

It kills you if you eat food cooked in it.

Literally there's a direct correlation from when we started letting this shit be used in our food and our health and obesity epidemic in the US. It also tastes like shit compared to cooking with tallow.

But it's only a bunch of goyim dying, so fuck it. Eat the goyslop cooked in literal industrial waste, goy, people have margins to make and that industrial waste is useless if they don't shove it down your fat gobs.

That makes so much sense holy shit, funny because his party in terms of number of votes got less but in terms of "seats" got a landslide.

Here's a perfect example of how. This is South West Norfolk, which was a solidly Conservative seat. (And the MP in this particular seat was Liz Truss, the woman who was Prime Minister for only 50 days, the shortest in British history, lol!) Yet Reform massively splitting the vote (in fact it looks like it was split 3 ways with an independent candidate too) caused Labour to win the seat by default. Conservatives only lost the seat by 630 votes! Although in this particular example the Labour candidate did get over 2,000 more votes than they did in the previous election, but that still wouldn't have been anywhere near enough to win the seat if the Conservative vote hadn't been decimated by the right-wing vote splitting. Here are South West Norfolk's General Election results for 2019 and 2024 for you to compare:

TRUMP I WASN'T THAT BLACKPILLED I SWEAR, I DON'T DESERVE 1,000 YEARS IN THE CRYST-

I'll buy that for a dollar!!

Seriously why the fuck does he eat his steaks like that?

Why not? Let the poor man eat his steaks however the fuck he wants. He ain't makin me eat my steaks any way but the way I like

Don't forget the cost and environmental impact of mining and making the lithium batterries

I have seen "woke" comparing Trump elected to the rise of Hitler. Just because a leader is elected in response to a country going to crap doesn't meant the guy is Hitler 2.

So it's the same shit as in 2016. Only now woke cult has far more members, so screeching will be even louder

I'm not sure if Trump has talked about it, but I hope the expansion of Nuclear energy is one of his priorities. I feel for all the coal miners, I do, and the railroad workers, but extremely cheap electricity is a possibility for all.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Whenever you feel stupid, remember that @TheSockiestSock was up all night trying to troll people in this thread.

 

[RybenZ999]

I could see her getting scared to answer question Rogan

Are you saying fear would have been a factor for her?

Lol sorry couldn't help it

So... 4 door sedan electric car engines achieve the MPG equivalent that many of the new standard 4 door sedan internal combustion engines had 5 years ago? Very impressive

 

[WTBOnlineFather]

Let's be real, this thread isn't any better. Anybody who doesn't support Trump or even lightly support Harris, even if it's for legitimate or personal reasons, will get dogpiled.

Dogpiled, sure. Fucking jannied away for 2 months? No.
They do it for free btw.

You miss the point. The gas car burned the gallon of gas as well as the 40 miles worth of electricity it took to refine it. You can cut out the middleman.

Trump: "I think windmills are really disruptive. When you talk about the environment, they kill the birds." 1:09:25

Trump is Quixotepilled.

Trump has always been against windmills/wind energy. Back in 2010 (or maybe a bit before) the Scottish government built a shit load of wind turbines next to Trumps golf course (Trump says it was to spite him) He and the Scottish government got locked into a heated debate that lasted years.
I think that's where it stems from and he's just using facts/science to defend his issue with wind turbines.

FWIW, the UK doesn't allow on-shore turbines to be built anymore.

 

[Oxyjen]

That’s not quite true. And Trump was complaining about off shore turbines anyway IIRC. But yes, that’s where his retardation on this matter stems from.
