“Trump pushing to meet foreign leaders at his hotels, so that he can profit”
“And he has the despot’s contempt for a free press, forever railing against the “fake news” media and all but abolishing the White House daily briefing”
“he became the first US president ever to declare a national emergency solely to circumvent the authority granted to Congress by the constitution. That was a pretty straightforward authoritarian power-grab,”
” Note how Trump is appointing sympathetic judges in record numbers: you can’t rely on the courts to check an authoritarian president if the courts are increasingly in that president’s image.”

Huh. That’s interesting. If public safety is excluded I expect that will grow over time, but it already did due to the pension rules. You can’t have too many millionaire ex-statees.
While I think that separate CA emissions rules are silly (seriously, who here can name the real differences between 37 state and 13 state auto smog rules and standards?) and make the manufacturers crazy, I kind of like the idea of pushing electric on the .gov. It might actually be cheaper in the long run, and fueling is easy since it would be centralized at the many many state buildings. I’m one of those people who think the future is in ‘lectric cars so I don’t hate the idea of buying fleets, they might drive the cost down a bit by building the modern battery-powered version of the Crown Vic. I admit that UPS/Fedex haven’t bought into the concept (and they would in a NY minute if their spreadsheets showed saving 10 cents), but a lot of people are working on batteries as we speak.
As far as climate-activist kids, I mean, seriously, what could go wrong with involving children with adult craziness? They are certainly easy to sell on the ideas du jour.
