Some of his policies are great. None of you lefty merkins will admit it though.

The problem, they aren't policies. They are statements.

He controls both houses, so why doesn't he get to work and put those statements into law. Then we can all judge his policies and he can prove he is correct (or wrong).

On his statements:

- Security fraud one is incorrect, there is plenty written about it, something to do with coding when there is no DOB

- border, definitely great policy to secure it. Biden f**ked up. But was making progress second half of term. Plenty of stats around it. Also there is an humane and cruel way of doing it. But it's a good policy

- no tax policy. Ok, give some details around it. How is this paid for, especially when his other policy is balance the budget. Details required. Stupid populist idea in my opinion. But he controls both houses, so do it

- remove toxins from environment is an awesome policy. Let's see some details. And don't forget his appointments and other policies are against this. Why doesn't he do it? Do an EO today declaring any business releasing toxins will be face huge fines. Then direct his DOJ to increase prosecutions of organisations not complying with environmental law. See how, if Trump was serious he could act today

- healthy children, another awesome idea. Let's see how he is going to do it. Start acting

- tax deductible interest on American made cars. Decent idea, so do it. He controls both houses.

- Doge, more efficient government. Great idea. But there is a right and wrong way to do it. And government is not like a profit business. It's more complex. Get it done but not with one person doing it with no checks or balances

- balance the budget. Good idea but how?

I will happily admit trump has good ideas. And there was some there.

So let's bookmark this and give him until mid term elections and see how many he implements

for these ideas - best to rank them on a scale of 1 - 5 on how difficult they are to actually do
Anything that is a 1 (ie. sign a bit of paper) get done
Anything 3 or above (e.g. pass a law through parliament, work with multiple agencies/countries) - nothing happens

The problem is the f**king democrats. They are whining merkins. They were so focused on their hatred to Trump that they forgot to acknowledge some great things that he did like that stuff with the kid with cancer, the fallen soldiers etc etc.

And any political party that relies on Hollywood and those entitled nobodies to be re elected deserves everything they get.

PS I appreciate you acknowledging at least something. With the others they are just blind to some of the incompetence.

I think the problem there was that he was using the kid as a prop. Fine, that's what politicians do. But he was behind the scenes cutting into funding of paediatric cancer research.

The Trump administration announced the cuts last month. The National Institutes of Health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars to cover indirect expenses of studying Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease and other illnesses.

A group of 22 states and organizations representing universities, hospitals and research institutions sued to stop the cuts, saying they would cause “irreparable harm.”

On Wednesday, a federal judge blocked the cuts while the lawsuits proceed.

You should have said a Democrat elected Judge.

Like I said, you can’t acknowledge a f**king thing. You’re totally f**ked up. Just stay in your echo chamber. You could get out in 4 years time.

Echo chamber ? You want everyone to cheer for a honorary police badge given to a cancer survivor (well done kid) and ignore the fact that he is cutting kids cancer research ?

Are you taking the piss ?

The new battery systems, said to be the first in the world designed to discharge for eight hours, marked a step up from most of the batteries on the market today, which typically discharged at full output for a maximum of four hours, Quinbrook said.

Installing a fleet of the giant batteries across Australia could prove “game-changing”, the investment firm said, due to their potential to cut the cost and boost the availability of zero-emissions energy to help decarbonise heavy industry and power emerging green manufacturing processes of the future.

shame it doesn't mention what battery technonogy they are proposing

For mine the biggest issue is how much he lies, he just makes up shit and numbers and you never know what is true and what is made up with him. He just cant be trusted to be truthful.

Some of his ideas are actually good but the chances of them being implimented are pretty much none, he's told some whoppers

You may know more - but it seems like the republicans have a clear majority in both the house and the senate
How does that mean the democrats are stopping Trump doing what he wants?

At a media briefing, Quinbrook described its plans for eight hour batteries as a “world first”, which is not quite true because the state of NSW has already agreed underwritten contracts for five eight-hour battery projects as part of its efforts to build storage capacity to replace coal.

But that does not match the scale of what Quinbrook is doing, and Scaysbrook insists that CATL’s EnerQB technology is unlike any that has been proposed before.

“This the first battery technology to be specifically designed for an 8 hour charge and discharge,” Scaysbrook told Renew Economy.



still seems to be some lithium-ion product
