Murkowski won a concession in the Big, Beautiful Bill to protect tax credits for 12 months for wind and solar. But she said a recent presidential order and Interior directive undercut those plans.

[wonko the sane?]

She sold out... to the guy infamous for not paying his bills and destroying lives in the process? Is she so ******* stupid that she couldn't predict how this would go?

 

[KidTDragon]

Anyone who hasn't learned by this point isn't going to.

 

[Axaday]

At least his kids won't hear about gay people.

 

[Ironbite4]

Ironbite-he really really hates Fauci doesn't he?

 

[Rhinox]

Of course. Fauci is a real doctor, not a pretend.

 

[Ironbite4]

Rand Paul is soooooooooooooooo a doctor.

Ironbite-just...not the doctor he wanted to be.

I am once again saying the adjective in this thread's title needs to be "evil" instead of "stupid":

That's Auscshwitz.

CA Gubernatorial Candidate Kyle Langford Says 'The Nazis Were Cool'

Not sure that groyper incel Kyle Langford's assertion that "the Nazis were cool and what the Germans did in WWII was awesome" is going to be a winning message in the California gubernatorial election.

[wonko the sane?]

Would figure that's the one museum they care about...

 

[KidTDragon]

This should be such an easy win for the Dems. I'm morbidly curious to see how they're going to screw up enough to lose to him.

 

[Ungnome]

The Nazi will have to win the Republican primary first. If he DOES, I don't see the Democrats losing the general election. Heck, him wining the primary would likely INCREASE the chances of California staying blue.

 

[NovaSaber]

Apparently California has non-partisan primaries? Where the "primary" is just everyone who's running regardless of party and then the "general election" is whoever the top two were (hypothetically, even if they were both from the same party, I think)

 

[KidTDragon]

Isn't that ranked voting?

 

[NovaSaber]

It could be combined with ranked voting, but it isn't the same thing.

Ranked voting is picking multiple candidates, in a ranked order, in a single ballot.

 

[Pocket]

What this does is turn the general election into a traditional runoff election. Ranked voting is sometimes called an "instant runoff" because it involves casting extra votes that ultimately get shuffled around to the totals of the top two candidates. But is arguably fairer because the losing candidates get whittled down one at a time and voters can't see who the top two are going to be when they cast those extra votes.

 

[Ironbite4]

It's called a Jungle Primary. And it works so so well for them.

Ironbite-wish it could work nation wide.

[wonko the sane?]

Once upon a time; looking at your watch too often, or catching a football weird was enough to end a presidential run and career. My, oh my how the world has changed and not for the ******* better.
