The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0
Soccer purist: Even if the guy is a millimeter offsides and it goes against the spirit of the rule it absolutely must be called.
Confused fan: Interesting. So when does the game end?
Soccer purist: Whenever the ref feels like ending it.
The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built.
Think about that.
At a time when electricity demand is rising, the Trump administration is spending billions to reduce the amount of power that could reach the grid.
Trump has spent years attacking wind turbines as ugly and inefficient. He is entitled to his opinions about how they look. He is not entitled to make taxpayers finance those opinions.
Seven states have already sued over earlier agreements. Federal courts have repeatedly found legal defects in this administration’s efforts to halt offshore wind development. The administration has cited national security concerns while providing little public evidence to support them, and judges have said they were not convinced.
Strip away the politics and what remains is hard to defend.
Billions in taxpayer money paid to private companies to cancel planned energy projects during a period of rising demand.
Governments usually spend money to build things.
This administration is spending billions to make sure some things never get built.

Landon gives a passionate stance on how Tim Ream can protect Pulisic if he plays against Australia.
"If I'm Tim Ream, probably just before kickoff, I go up to the referee and I say, 'Here's what's gonna happen. The first time Christian touches the ball, he's gonna get smashed, and I better see a yellow card. And if I don't, when we retaliate, I better not see a yellow card. So, if you wanna play that game all day, we're gonna beat the shit out of them, but I better not see a yellow card unless you give whoever smashes Christian a yellow card right away.'"
We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.
