ICE are public servants and are knowingly breaking the law by obeying illegal orders. The Nuremberg trials dealt with that following orders stuff.

Apparently concrete water tanks, the type on a lot of rural houses, are naturally fluoridated. My kids have really good teeth which was a surprise given the number of fillings I had as a child.

We are supposed to trust our governments however it is pretty obvious that a Trump could come along and seriously misuse the backdoors that were said to be necessary to protect us. It doesn’t matter if you trust the current mob, it’s a rogue future mob we have to guard against.

I suppose people won’t see the irony of the rapist, convicted fraudster, impeached president’s policies being endorsed by a serial killer.

Pretty amazing, the NZ conservatives mount a major attack on Māori and are then intimidated by haka. Snowflakes.

There are a couple of things about battery storage, a grid built on renewables needs ride through capacity and it needs to be able to meet surges in demand. In fact all grids do. Batteries do that and remove the need for hot standby gas generators but at the moment due to lack of capacity, not all fossil fuel generators. A lot of focus is on batteries as the backup for loss of wind or sun, the spread of renewables over a large geographical area and interconnected grids provides greater assurance.

Lots being installed around Australia and are a lot cheaper than gas power generation for covering peaks.

That’s where batteries and other storage systems come into play.

Isn’t porn a staple of the religious conservative? I’m sure they will vote for this in the belief that it doesn’t apply to them.

If he has turned Nazi then I probably wouldn’t both to listen to them anymore.

He’s divided his own country but unites others in unique way to oppose him. What a leader. Will he last all 4 years or will people panic enough to remove him?

Well the US won’t be exporting to Europe,Canada or Australia as they all demand to know the score.

It seems that the LNP attack on workers rights, especially work from home was a badly received. They don’t resonate with women and are seen as a boys club. Their campaign has been judged to be the worst ever. Their leader is extremely disliked and made the mistake of pretending to be a Trump lookalike. They are trailing against a government that people don’t think deserves to be re-elected.

Sounds like the conservative “only what’s written in the constitution” mob are really activists after all.

So Trump is telling ICE to break the law? It looks like Trump is guilty of another crime.

If someone signs an order that is illegal, aren’t they breaking the law? Shouldn’t they be charged and arrested?

It’s an interesting point, if we get all the 65+ to work till they drop they won’t be around much longer as they will drop like flies freeing up all the housing, pensions etc. Just think, we all would have that in our future and how motivating it would be.

Amazing that so many don’t think that. The media must be working overtime to hide such a mess from so many.

If you are no good at diplomacy then I expect that building a dyke to keep the invaders out would seem worth while. All other presidents seemed to get by without it and history shows that whatever defences you build, some cunning adversaries will find a way around them.

Dealing with an emergency and all they have is old men who don’t have what it takes to take on the rabid GOP. Never understood why the US system is dominated by such old people.
