In all fairness the new President of America is doing a great job for a man that only got the power recently....

A game changer how?
The synthetic fuel isn't new. They can make hydrogen fuel from seawater. Audi are working in a synthetic e-diesel. But it's not much use if it costs 4 times as much.

But lets be realistic. Anybody driving Porsche and other Supercars doesn't care about their emissions. The GT3 is the article is a 4.0L 503bhp monster.
They want power, speed, acceleration. The real issue for Supercars is that they are not losing that race.

That's been my thoughts for a long time. The 4x4 brigade, myself included, have been hammered for years yet very little is said about the cars with just as big or even bigger engines.
The car high end or luxurious car industry are now turning to electric models but to me that's just them virtue signaling but more so grabbing a market share.
All good for the living Saints, who like to preach green this and that to us humble joe soaps, but it's a bit sickening that they do so from thier mansions, second, third and forth homes just before they jump into thier luxury car taking them to a private jet.
Let the likes of Bono get a Ryan Air flight and then a bus to his next preaching session and just for good measure throw a couple of bails of foreign briquettes on the handle bars of a bike back to his 1970's built semi detached. Idealism is best suited to the young and the rich.

A lot of valuable lessons were learned after Trump lost the run of himself after his defeat.

President Biden is a man of different caliber and will do good things, no fear he'll be throwing his toys out of the pram.

Grizzly 45 · 26-02-2021 3:41pm

Only reason is that the crazy cat lady Pelosi got her knickers in a twist, and was ringing the Pentagon in a panic trying the same stunt. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/pelosi-trump-nuclear-weapons-codes-nukes-pentagon-b1784634.html
Odd for someone who is THIRD in line for the nuke button,that she would be so poorly briefed on how this works and how the whole process for launching happen.Its not a decision resting solely with the president that he can decide to arbitrarily push the button. Doesnt reflect good on her leaving that info on her Laptop either,that might get stolen...which it was...
But Hey, like O'bama said, "never let a good crisis go to waste!";)
The USA really needs term limits,to keep these old geriatrics out of power and out to grass, once they reach 75, the pair of them are past their sell-by dates.:)

Biden back to locking kids in cages (like he did when he was obama's lacky) but changes the name and is now calling them "Migrant Children Facilities", so its now not bad like it was under President Trump. Yet Trump was forced to shut down the same facility because of condemnation from the left.

More lies and double standards.

I was looking at a thing about Trump and his efforts to fight the corona virus. He set up a army field hospital, and sent a hospital ship to New York, but because he did it Cuomo refused to open them and allow them to be used. Petty thing to engage in.

Its backfiring big time on him.He is now under investigation for his handling of the Covid outbreak in NYC and for pushing healthy old folks homes where they knew there was a risk of fatal infections...Not to mind his handling of the Burn Loot Murder "mostly peaceful protests" in NYC last Summer, and detailing NYPD to guard political graffiti from that organisation on 5th Ave, as well as watching NYC become a financial ruin and ghost town under his watch.

The thing about bullcrap [not you, the fake claims] is you have to identify it and call it out no matter where it is.

I seen this claim made elsewhere and a two second check of the interweb shows no new President has done a state of the union address in their first year in the last 30 odd years.. Trump didn't Obama didn't, Clinton, Bush Jr, etc, etc.

He is not the only one.

The Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer, is now also being (or at least its being called for) investigated because she done the very same thing. Lumped positive covid patients into nursing homes. Its also not only for this, she is a terrible Governor and between her and her husband have been caught mulitple times breaking her own rules on lockdown.

Trump Feb 4th 2020 1st term

Barrack Obama...He made six states of the union addresses.Guy wouldnt shut up! 20101st term,11,12,13,14,15,16

Bill Clinton 1994 1st term.

Bush Snr Jan 29th 2002 1st term "Axis of Evil"

Think what we are getting wrong is we are expecting it within his 1st 100 days
Not within his first term of office.
.But it was announced with big fanhare that Biden was speaking on Feb 23rd a state of the union...£ days ago.

Trump Feb 4th 2020 1st term

I meant year, not term. Obviously they do state of the union addresses in their term(s), what i meant to say was first year.

Trump. Won in 2016, took office in Jan 2017, gave first SoTU in 2018.

Obama. Won in 2008, took office in Jan.2009, gave first SoTU in 2010.

Bush Jr. Won in 2000, took office in Jan. 2001, gave first SoTU in 2002.

Clinton. Won in 1992, took office in Jan. 1993, gave first SoTU in 1994.

Spot on.
The trend continues back for decades.
Complaining that Biden hasn’t done one in his first 5 weeks is baffling stuff.
This little snippets of misinformation exist purely to mislead the clueless. Post on FB, or some other echo chamber, to people who’ll just swallow it with bother to look into it. As you pointed out it took 2 minutes to check. Unfortunately retweeting is instant.

The first State of the Union addresses by presidential term since 1981:

President Ronald Reagan (first term): February 18, 1981
President Ronald Reagan (second term): February 06, 1985
President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989
President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993
President Bill Clinton (second term): February 04, 1997
President George W. Bush (first term): February 27, 2001
President George W. Bush (second term): February 02, 2005
President Barack Obama (first term): February 24, 2009
President Barack Obama (second term): February 12, 2013
President Donald Trump (first term): February 28, 2017

Be as it may Ol Joe announced with great fanfare that he was doing a SOTU address four days ago.[23/2/21]Which would be quite a good morale booster what with Covid,Texas,etc,or at least give some direction as to where they intend to go in this administration.
But its been crickets so far, apart from some lame excuse about "right-wing terrorist plots"...Which is as believable as flying unicorns. Considering DC is an armed encampment with a division strength worth of NG still in place.

Incumbants usually do a SoTU in their first year of the second term.

President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989

The last President to give SoTU in his first year.

President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993

Seeing a pattern?

Be as it may Ol Joe announced with great fanfare that he was doing a SOTU address four days ago.[23/2/21]

There is no reason he cannot, i merely pointed out the absurdity of claiming he hasn't done one yet when for the last 30+ years no President has in their first year.

Which would be quite a good morale booster what with Covid,Texas,etc,or at least give some direction as to where they intend to go in this administration.

I foresee an utter trainwreck myself.

But its been crickets so far, apart from some lame excuse about "right-wing terrorist plots"...Which is as believable as flying unicorns. Considering DC is an armed encampment with a division strength worth of NG still in place.

Frankly a President can write on the back of a pack of smokes that "all is well and continue doing what you're doing" and his duties for the state of the union are fulfilled.

On a lighter note, Anyone engaging in DIY barbering ? I bought a clippers in Argos during the first lockdown, and have been using it every month or so. This morning i decided i needed a trim and got it out. Put in the wrong number blade, and now i look like an extra from "Apocalypse now"

Cass · 27-02-2021 4:46pm

I love how people with fresh haircuts are asked who done it for them, as if they were crack dealers and the other person was trying to get a fix. I've cut my own hair for years now. Its not great, but it short. First time i done it i made such a balls of it i had to shave the entre head, but i've gotten better at it over the years.

I let herself at it with a clippers, number 2.
