Zelensky lost his cool?
Did you watch the debacle?

Yes. The extended director’s cut, not the nine minute clip that keeps getting played.

 

[Doubleplay]

You guys loved the Kenyan In Chief, obama, because you could take advantage of his put America last character.

You detest President Trump because he puts America first.

If you think Trump is thinking about America before himself and his vandetta , you are delusional.

 

[Doubleplay]

So Trump and VP did not?

Well honestly how did you expect it to go?.....

He was asked to wear a suit and tie and instead showed up to a meeting with his multi billion dollar benefactor(USA) dressed like he's an actor on the Soprano's with an attitude to match.

Looked like that Serb sniper from Behind Enemy Lines

Meanwhile back on the home front.

California has begun cleaning up the fires.... In the most inefficient way possible.

You see in this method of clean up, the contractor gets to make a FORTUNE in mobilization charges by moving the equipment from address to address in different neighborhoods instead of street by street clean up; while at the same time keeping the clean up process at a snails pace.

I can’t believe we’re still talking about this three days later.

JDV said in effect “the world is better when the U.S. engages in diplomacy,” and Zelensky couldn’t handle it. That is the moment when the wheels came off.

You know what I meant. There’s not another power system as efficient to power large jets, trucks, tractors, combines, etc… than the internal combustion and jet engines. I’m not talking about watches and computers. In most of Europe, the vast expanses of the Great Plains and our large farms and ranches does not exist. We need large equipment to work these farms and pickup trucks and even larger trucks to move millions of cattle and other livestock every day. The large vehicles and equipment we need will NEVER work with battery power. Most Europeans can get by with your small little cars, small vans and little trucks on your tiny streets in your more urbanized society. Most Europeans don’t have experience with our large agricultural industry operations and more rural lifestyle. And please answer how trains can replace air travel? It’s not possible and doesn’t make sense.

What about hydrogen?

And that is why you are a Neophyte.

These are the soldiers of the 339th regiment in my native village, in 1918. It is not far from Plesetsk, where the cosmodrome is now. There was a school in the big house upstairs, where my mother later became a teacher. At that time, Western countries deployed about 300,000 troops to our territory, and about the same number were recruited in Russia and around. Some of them were opponents of the regime, some were just conscripted peasants (my uncle too). Churchill was the main ideologist of this enterprise.
In 1920, the Western troops were withdrawn, and the local "white" troops fled. About 10 years later, American veterans came and dug up some of their dead. By that time, someone in the United States realized that all this was unnecessary. There's a museum of the 339th Regiment somewhere in Michigan right now.

Can anyone here explain why so many leftists are clinging to supporting this transgender men participating in women’s sports issue? Aren’t they pro choice? Doesn’t that also mean a woman can choose not to share a locker room with dudes in dresses? For the life of me I cannot square it. I’m a boy dad and have coached girls in mixed gender one on one contact sports. No way my girls are taking a shower with my boys. No fuckin way. I will die on that hill.

I bet we can get consensus on this one since we can’t on our foray into European poly ticks.

 

[John Wasmuth]

Perhaps they fancy them? Who knows….

Because it's all about enforcing your ideology on other people and making them behave as you see fit...

Starting to grasp why this is such an important issue for so few people?

I like that summation.

What about hydrogen?

How would you protect a container of hydrogen from collisions? It’s very volatile. Like driving around on a bomb.

That’s the beauty about technology, it always advances. Just because we don’t have an answer for that that, doesn’t mean that it won’t be a viable solution in the future. There’s no reason to LIMIT the amount of energy sources we have available to us. Every source, be it hydrocarbons, nuclear, solar, wind, etc all have their own pros and cons,

Edit: I am a powerstroke driving oil sands worker. Who grew up raising cattle and planting crops.

Definitely an EPA Reportable Event.

I’ve seen a few oil and gas fires in my day. Imagine if the Hindenburg didn’t happen how the history of hydrogen may have changed.

Peter Doocy gave a report on what set Vance off. According to Doocy it was a good half hour of hostile body language by Zelinsky. Very apparent to Vance (and some of the reporters) from his position in the room. Not so to Trump as he was sitting side by side with Zelinsky. It had apparently gone on long enough and with enough intensity that Vance had just plain had enough. Vance was obviously very irritated and I think this explains it.

Trump has been very transparent and open with reporters and thus we the people. He constantly seems to have them in the Oval Office. Biden never did. In fact I don't recall any prior President being this available and transparent. The downside of this of course was on display when Zelinsky went off script. We have no idea how much similar things went on in previous administrations because we were not privy to it.

Zelinsky really seems to have betrayed the trust of the President and especially Rubio.

Reports today are that several Democrat leaders has advised Zelinsky to do this. And may have been texting him as this was going on. Dirty politics at best... I have no idea if interfering with State Department and Presidential foreign dealings is treasonous or not.

My friend, Trump is out there being too transparent. Shut down this news conference a minute or two earlier and we are good. Remember the long news conferences back during COVID? Trump is a narcissist and can’t help himself. It’s just a matter of time in any news conference that he goes off on tangents. I don’t want him hiding like Biden but he needs to trim it back right after the main message is delivered for his own good.

The same way you protect the propane fuel cells in the MANY propane powered cars and trucks on the road today; many delivery services use propane vehicles and have for years.

The real problem with Hydrogen is the fuel itself.

That is one issue.... I remember the Ukrainians found a Toyota Mirai(hydrogen) in the various destroyed vehicles from the war and took the Hydrogen fuel cells from the vehicle and added a charge of C4 to the fuel cell and came up with a REALLY effective bomb.... so effective they started hunting these cars down and exhausted the supply.

The other issue with hydrogen is the that most hydrogen fuel is produced through electrolysis; which requires a massive amount of electricity.
