Like "Trump will destroy democracy.."....."Trump is Hitler..."........"Trump is beholden to Russia..".... "Billionaires own Trump."

See how that works?

Different side of the same coin.

Only, Trump IS actively destroying our democracy, did attempt to thwart the government. Openly questioned why his generals weren't more Nazi-like and did sell out to billionaires.

So yeah. Not the same.

Damn farce, any plans to move? I don't know for sure, but I suspect your situation is the exception and not the rule for red dominated local districts. Mine is certainly the inverse from yours. You live in the Cleveland area don't you? Are your schools the best in the state?

I moved to Charlotte 3+ years ago when I retired. Cleveland schools are far from the best in the state but some of the suburbs have very good schools and they pay handsomely for them. Ohio schools in general are considerably better than those in NC (wife is a teacher) but the Ohio GOP is doing their best to defund public education and keep Ohio schools dropping in those rankings.

Patently unconstitutional. We already did this with Obamacare. With 7 votes, the Court held that the provision tying receipt of Medicaid funds to implementing a state market was unlawful. There was not a sufficient nexus between the funds and the demand -- and that was within the realm of health. This is why many states did not expand Medicaid. They didn't have to, per the Supreme Court.

It is simply unlawful for the federal government to coerce states into compliance with federal laws by withholding money. Just so we all know.

Federal energy law does not supplant or preeempt state laws. Executive orders do not change that, because they are not law. Nor can regulations alone. The Supremacy clause applies to statutes. It might also apply to implementing regulations, but only as derivative of the statute. There are no statutes that I know of that would preempt state law.

I'm not a MAGA. Not gloating. I never have been overly political for one side or the other. You know who I am and my history has proven I call it down the middle.

You don't. If I recall correctly you have NEVER voted for a Republican and you are 70 or so...

If you want me banned the make the call.

If we have to name an airport after Trump, I’d think LaGuardia would be more appropriate.

I'd find some dog poop along a sidewalk, land an RC there, and then put a little sign in the middle of the poop: Donald J Trump International Airport.
