The Deep (Chace Crawford) turns 40 today. - Max Jul 18, 14:09
some of this is Dems fault for not “messaging” but a lot of it seems to just be voters don’t give a shit about actual policies, just vibes -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 14:08 13

  - I guess it wouldn’t bother me so much if the party’s primaries didn’t always devolve into dumb shit fights over policy minutiae that have nothing to do with -- (edited) - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 14:32
- I think it's more that the main benefit of the policy - cheaper EVs that Americans want to drive - has not yet been realised. -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 14:15 8
  - That's not the only objective or result of the policy. It's also created tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. -- nm - pmb Jul 18, 14:16 7
    - Those jobs don't exist yet either. 121 projects and only 13 are in full operation. 94 are in the planning or construction phase. -- nm* - Roger More Jul 18, 14:23 6
      - Fair enough, but my point is that the policy is bigger than just EV's. -- nm - pmb Jul 18, 14:31 5
        
        Yes, I understand. But I'd also weigh the jobs that will be created against the ones in the supply chain that will disappear in the transition to EVs - Roger More Jul 18, 14:40 4
        
        Maybe not new jobs, however, this money and potentially saving jobs in planning, construction, etc. -- nm - VMan Jul 18, 14:44 3
        
        I’m not arguing the policy or its benefits, just why it’s not having a positive impact on votes. -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 15:08 1

Hunter Biden moves for dismissal, citing Cannon ruling -- (link) - Reagen Jul 18, 14:05 7
- I mean, yes, but also no! -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 14:39
- did they use a special prosecutor in Hunter's case? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 18, 14:18 5
  - yes but (1) cannon is dead wrong on the law in any circuit, and (2) hunters case is 3d Cir which has expressly held that SC appts are constitutional -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 18, 14:23 4
    - it is 100% a troll appeal, which I'm all for. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 14:38 3
      - Or, other funny outcome, it's denied, he appeals to SCOTUS, who uphold and spike Cannon's ruling -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 15:14 1
