Who the hell worries about the future?

She seems to have forgotten the head start the vax makers had on COVID because of the previous efforts on SARS a decade and a half ago during Bush 43. They took it off the shelf, dusted it off, and picked up where they left off.

She's such a toad.

Apologies to toads.

Lemme 'splain sumpin to you, Marge:

Renewables like solar and wind have zero byproducts. Solar panel efficiency is tricky because not all sunshine can be converted into electricity, only the photons that strike the panels do the voodoo. Wind, on the other hand, can vary from low efficiencies (15-20%) up to about 55% depending upon wind speed and the geometry of the blades.

Now, let's take coal and natural gas. From an energy storage point of view, both these products are pure energy stores. Unfortunately, only about 1/3 of the available energy contained within the carbon or methane can be used to generate electricity. The rest is lost as heat. Then of course we have the dreaded CO₂ byproduct as well as other nasty chemicals that are not completely scrubbed from the stacks after these products combust.

She conveniently ignores the extraction and transportation issues of using fossil fuels to generate electricity. With renewables, the energy source travels free to the generation point, unlike with traditional means the energy source must be taken by rail or pipeline.

Both methods lose a portion of the electricity that is generated when the DC current is run through inverters to become AC.

I am not a physicist or other smart science guy. But it is not too difficult to understand that efficiencies can mean different things to different people depending on what lie point they want to make.

Don't get me going on nuclear, either.

Huh, no wonder mtg is so worked up.

Detail I'd forgotten.

The US District Court judge who sentenced the Pizzagate gunman to 4 1/2 years in prison after the defense proposed 1 1/2 years?

Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Raskin response Greene Heckling: The gentlelady said something about the Russian hoax… if she wants to continue to stand with Putin and his bloody invasion, she is free to do so and we understand there is a strong Trump/Putin axis in the gentlelady’s party..

Do we have video of the heckling he is responding to? I didn't find it with a quick search.

A state court can't declare a federal law unconstitutional.

If a case is within the state court's jurisdiction, and it involves a federal statute, the state court can hold the statute unconstitutional.

The case here involves eligibility for a federal office, does that complicate matters?

mtg doesn't understand what a threat is.

.@ABC, this threat of violence against me by @jimmykimmel has been filed with the @CapitolPolice.

Oh she does. The real subtext is "ha! All those threats of violence that the Libs talk about are fake and silly. So I'm going to mock the with this "threat" that is just as fake and silly to mock them!"

That's too complicated and nuanced a thought for her. She really thinks that Jimmy Kimmel has threatened her with bodily harm.

She's too stupid for nuance. Like most morons, she is a literalist. Black v. White. There are no shades of grey.

I don't think these is any federal statute at issue here; the case is based on the 14th Amendment. But, generally speaking, a state court can hold a federal statute unconstitutional, but (1) such a decision can be appealed to SCOTUS and (2) the decision is not binding on courts in other states (or on federal courts within the state).

I laughed. The Capitol Police undoubtedly round filed.

Are there not rules of decorum in the House that they cannot enforce upon her? I guess since she got away with it at the State of the Union speech, she figures she can get away with it anywhere. She's probably right. What are they going to do, take away her committee assignments? Fine her?

House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene heckles Jan. 6 committee member Jamie Raskin as he urges House to hold Navarro and Scavino in contempt of Congress, shouting epithets: “Ashli Babbitt” and “What about the Russia collusion”

Gee, whom do women usually have to defend themselves against?

From my point of view I'll point out that more than 40% of Domestic violence victims are male.

You weren’t joking. You hide your misogyny and your racism behind your “jokes” on @ABC.

This was a dog whistle to the violent left to assault me or worse, and your [sic] already inspiring fantasies of violence against me.

How many new death threats will I get that are your fans?

Officer? I would like to report a joke. https://twitter.com/RepMTG/status/1511816972610244615

[raison de arizona]

She's really going all in on this one.

.@jimmykimmel your fans called my office today in direct response to you inciting physical violence towards me.
It’s not a joke.
You knew exactly what you were doing.
@ABC and their parent company @WaltDisneyCo should not allow your misogyny & threats of violence.
