Then we chuck it in that mountain we carved out.

Yes. They’re both incredibly efficient.

You see, at some point you need a shield around the reactor to actually absorb all the high energy particles released, and turn that energy into heat.

So we have to replace a few tons of shielding that’s lightly radioactive every 2-6 years. That’s literally a vehicle’s worth of waste to power tens of thousands of homes.

Because retaliation on behalf of domestic businesses is something Europe freaking invented.

We’ve already paid for it though. That’s why we built Yucca Mountain.

Also nuclear fusion has essentially zero waste.

Is the EU just going to bet that none of its companies ever have to do business outside of the EU?

I think it’s this guy. Don’t quote me, but I think he’s Trump’s internal pollster guy. Apparently him an his outfit released a lot of polls that favored Trump and normally polls are released somewhat strategically (in Nate Silver’s experience) rather than wholesale.

Nixon was explicitly pardoned to avoid prosecution for his crimes.

Congress didn’t have to stop the impeachment of Nixon. They chose too because Nixon agreed to never run for office again.

If we want that to change we need an Amendment that established an Independent, non-partisan Prosecutor whose job it is to prosecute Presidents and former Presidents.

Impeachment is a political process with the ultimate result being removal from office.

And potentially the removal of that person’s ability to ever run for office again.

Impeachment and removal from office does not mean they would go to jail, it is not a criminal trial.

Yes, that’s the design. Because it’s not an “impartial” process but a political one. And because only 40 or so people have been given that protection, it makes perfect sense.

That’s an 8th grade understanding of the concept where you never learned anything after.

The 8th grade understanding is the correct one. As confirmed by SCOTUS.

Remember the DOJ reports to the President. A process where you’re either suppose to investigate your boss or investigate your Boss’s political allies/opponents would be way to open for abuse.

Trump can be prosecuted for what he did before the Presidency (as is being done in New York) and for what he has and will do after the Presidency (should he run back J6 part deuce). But for crimes committed while President impeachment is counterbalance.

That is the correct interpretation of the law. We could punish the Seal Team and their chain if command for following the order. But punishment of Biden himself would require him to be impeached.

And frankly that’s how it should be.

Obama killed that 16 year old in Yemen. He isn’t liable for that. Bush spied on Millions of Americans without warrants he isn’t liable for that. You can argue they should be; but that’s not how our system is designed.

Because every 8th grade civics course says the same thing. You punish Presidents with impeachment.

It should be. But it’s not. Dems needed to follow the Nixon playbook and have a long drawn out impeachment hearing. They punted on that and let him walk.

Trump already beat the charges.

Yes. As much as I hate it. It’s not that big of a story. Either you know and realize Trump tried to commit a coup or you’ve bought the lie.

Until Dems start running on, “He he committed a coup” which they gave up on when they punted on his impeachment; it’s not a story.

The conflict makes it a story.

Maybe because it’s not as big of a story. J6 has been in the papers every other week since it occured.

Oh ya, it’s time for Hot Xi Summer.

Ya force them to use unguided artillery shells! /s

Is NOSTR any good? I’ve heard a bit about it but I haven’t gotten my feet wet yet.
