He can't (was born in Germany).

Not to be conspiratorial. But Barron being rejected may also be a factor here.

Frankly, if turquoise hydrogen is ever going to happen and succeed, H2 may be the byproduct to be sold (with solid carbon as the primary product). Any other use/way of H2 isn't scalable nor cost-effective now or on the foreseeable future.

Funny thing, they justify some of their actions under the premises that we are "under attack" and others because we are "not under attack". We either are or not.

Plenty of discussion I had with such people were absolutely ungrounded, and yet they truly believe in the hype. It is not surprising that the most vocal proponents are Germans or Japanese, where verticality of the decision structure basically set the course.

This is in fact very entrenched with corporate culture. The c-level exec care about being on top, marketing, but that creates a culture where the tech folks actually believe the hype....

Exactly. This is why manufacturers invested in H2 are all about the hype. BMW working since 1986 is a good example. This is a way to show tech leadership (to justify higher prices) when they were beaten in EV.

Besides, even if it were possible who exactly is going to create that infrastructure? Neither Toyota nor BMW. And it won't build itself. The economics isn't there, something engineering academics (I am one of them) can fully fathom.

Sode note: despite all the Tesla hype and overvaluation, none of these are Tesla Semi.

But then he can pardon everybody, so what's the point?

Resign, then. What purpose does she serve there?

OK. They are going to be criminally charged, than appeal, and then SCOTUS. Even if SCOTUS stays the conviction, POTUS pardons. What then?

Especially when (because it will happen) US citizens will be shipped abroad as well.

And frankly he has absolutely nothing to say. Speaking of making someone a celebrity out of thin air.

So your solution is for the Dems to do absolutely nothing (like they are now, high from their dry erasers?). Imagine telling that to John Lewis and the Civil Rights Freedom Fighters.

When Al Green was kicked from SOTU, all Dems should have left in mass, rather than sitting down. I mean, learn the questionable tactics the GOP has used for year as a minority. Until you can.

I am not blaming Dems. I am simply stating that they are stuck in a mindset where all this is can be dealt with signs and statements. Stop bringing flowers to a gunfight.

Wouldn't that be by design? If you are subservient to the regime, you want to show that everything is fine, not because it is, but because that is what you do to appease to the regime.

DJT and EM want the Dem Party gone, for good. No opposition. The #Democrats on their part are making this job the easiest possible, at their own peril. And when that will happen, they will say they were not progressive enough.

Besides, the decision to "expel", whatever that means, is not up to the president, but to the schools. But I know he's referring to "immigrant students".

The worst part for Germany is that skipping the IT revolution first and the Digital economy later were conscious choices aimed at protecting and not displacing the industrial status quo, accounting for Germany lack of appetite for high risk investments. Basically, focus on what you know.

That is not an excuse. This is not kindergarten, if you want to vote, the burden of getting well informed is on you. Trump was a known entity after all.

How will they be enforced? By the government?

You are not wrong, not because martial law may not happen, but because it will be a bloody hell.

See South Korea, recently. The president declared it. He's the commander in chief. There is no need for "papers", when all laws are suspended. There is no JAG, JCoS is complacent.

Thing is, I wasn't asked and you are not my employer. Not because you can ask, you have any right to. Focus on reporting, please.

Martial Law. There is no need for any popularity context to go straight to dictatorship. Any recent sign points to that, from purge to suffering.

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if they start scaling that back.
