Oh yeah. Exactly why the Republicans are dragging their feet. Who are most likely to own passports? MAGA or Dem voters?

Also, the filibuster protects the GOP from Trump more than it does the Democrats.

If they take the house they should immediately dump the filibuster.

I don't think that any outcome they foresee will have any relation to what will actually happen.

Have these guys ever considered that the survivors outside the bunkers might just weld the bunker doors shut whilst those inside watch them do it on closed circuit television?

They protect the filibuster now like a baby chick. It's the only thing that stops Trump's most destructive impulses from becoming a reality. They point to the filibuster and shrug that their hands are tied

If the Republicans wanted to they could have binned it yesterday. The Dems should get rid of it the day they take the house.

Don't want it, don't need it. The nuclear furnace in space provides free fuel. What we need is massive storage. That's the next real battle.

People will argue that we don't have the tech yet. Well, we never have the tech until someone develops it. Do you suppose a chicken laid a nuclear plant? No, it was developed over time. So will energy storage.

The bigger mystery to me is why people try so hard to get back in. I had a 14 year account and when I was banned I just moved on. The last couple of years the place was a pit.

I got banned for reasons I don't really understand. So, I just accepted it and it's fine.

Depends upon the country. I believe that the US can, but not positive.

That's my life.

Appro of nothing, I just checked my country's data. The US has roughly three times the pedestrian death rate to that of Australia.

I don't know what that means. I have only been to the US once, and that was in the 90s. I was very surprised at how difficult it was to be a pedestrian there. Australia does love cars too, but it is also relatively easy to leave them at home for small errands. Not sure how much of a contributing factor that is?
