    They did that in MN and it was overturned in court. I actually got a ticket that way and even though I wasn’t part of the lawsuit my ticket was erased from my record and got pet of the settlement.

    Wasn't expecting a serious response :)

    Fully on board with nuclear power as the stop-gap.

    Both sides want energy independence. Trump’s approach is more oil, gas, and fracking, while Harris’s side focuses on green infrastructure and innovation, including nuclear energy. There's $250 billion in energy infrastructure in the IRA. While today there are specific credits for renewable energy, the IRA would transition it into technology-neutral credits to achieve zero-carbon generation. This approach does not limit any innovation that gets us there, whether that’s new advanced battery storage technology, smaller form factor nuclear power plants, bitcoin as a "battery" reserve, ... so on.

    Trump has stated that he will reverse everything Biden has done. He has a tendency to believe that everything done by others, especially Democrats, is horrible and that he can do it tremendously better. We know where that usually leads. He is quick to undo existing policies and replace them with nothing, all while promising improvements that are always just around the corner. Although infrastructure investment is crucial for our future and widely supported, there is enough "green" spending in these plans for him to revert to his standard tendencies and still maintain the support of his unwaving base, even if it costs them dearly.

    In his speech to a conservative group, Vance said that in a few years, there is a not-so-terrible chance they will be sharing a cell in Harris' prison detention camp, emphasizing that he thinks he's more right than wrong. These guys have twisted themselves into some crazy thought patterns. Trump-Vance crazes.

    WUSSY TRUMP just announced he won't debate Harris.

    What a coward, like his entire life he has been one and proves he still is.

    Prosecutorial discretion, a long-standing principle upheld by the Supreme Court, allows prosecutors to make informed decisions about pursuing legal action. This discretion recognizes that not every law violation results in arrest or prosecution due to various factors. These factors include the likelihood of successful prosecution, resource limitations, crime severity prioritization, and ethical considerations.

    Consider two contrasting examples:
    1. Public figures like Trump, who commit crimes knowingly and unapologetically, should face prosecution when sufficient evidence and resources are available. This principle extends to anyone engaging in similar behavior, regardless of their status.
    2. Conversely, Dreamers—individuals brought to the country as children—should not face deportation through immigration courts. Prosecuting them for circumstances beyond their control is both unethical and inhumane.
    These examples illustrate how prosecutorial discretion can be applied to uphold justice while considering broader societal implications and is a bedrock principle of our system. What Trump wants to do is cruel, extreme, and unethical. It's a policy choice that most should reject.

    There are much better approaches that are ethical, won't destroy our economy, and embrace the U.S. long-standing principles of liberty, being a land of immigrants, and where the concept of a melting pot is our strength, not weakness. Reagan's vision of America as a "shining city" welcoming those seeking freedom aligns with these principles and stands in stark contrast to cruel and extreme policies that reject our immigrant heritage. Our broken immigration system needs fixing, through sensible Congressional actions and Executive policies, not fear-driven cruelty that will cause much harm to America and her people.

    Prosecutorial discretion is a concept subject to individual caprices and abuses. Its an extremely subjective and problematic concept influenced by bias, including political.

    I am sure that this will make Trump’s day.

    Is it really a DEI hire if she was hired specifically to appeal to black and women voters, which she did better than any other candidate?

    Checkmate, pubbies.

    I don't know what any of that means, nor who cares or what it has to do with anything.

    Apparently, that's a fake account and isn't Vance's wife. Musk, thanks again for the verified blue check.

    So, it's okay to make race- and sex-based decisions, so long as you are doing so specifically to appeal to a certain market segment?

    Trump has perfect retort ammunition if Harris tries to portray him as a racist.

    He should point to the fact Harris did that to Joe Biden in 2019 and there are receipts.

    Thats a pretty powerful retort imo.
