Wrong program, that was the bipartisan infrastructure act not the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act. Try again, D’oh! Indeed

Yes!  Come on BH!  Bet that 2024 won't even be in the top 5!  You can't lose, what with everything FOX News has been telling you!  I'll bet you $1000 payable to my/your favorite charity.

You’ve got me there however in my defense I did not predict a massive underwater volcano eruption blowing millions of tons of water vapor into the atmosphere. We will just have to wait and see if the temperature continues to increase in response to CO2 and post ice age natural warming or if it comes back down as a result of water vapor precipitating out.

Yep.  And as of August 61 were completed, and 14,900 were under construction.  The total is expected to be around 30,000.

But that's not going to get many votes for Trump, so you're not going to hear it.

From the link I posted "The grants announced today are made possible through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s $2.5-billion Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program "

That Grant Program if you bothered to look says "The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI Program) is a competitive grant program created by President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law"

CFI - Environment - FHWA (dot.gov)

The 'Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is also called the 'Inflation Reduction Act" IRA & BIL Resource Guide - ICAST (icastusa.org)

We again accept your apology.

You do know that we can read the bullshit that you write, correct?

probably all of them actually. 

But once again, fact checking, finding data to support your bullshit and validating your claims has never been your strongpoint

Here in post-truth America, the months can have any number of days you want.

maybe just a follower of the Roman Republican calnedar:

The original Roman calendar appears to have consisted only of 10 months and of a year of 304 days. The remaining 61 days were apparently ignored, resulting in a gap during the winter season.

I hope people enjoy troll-feeding because there's a lot of that going on in this thread.

Next Vance interview:

Interviewer: "You've claimed that August has 61 days.  Do you still maintain that?"
Vance: "Well first let's see if you can admit that 100,000 murderers are coming in every day from Mexico!"
Interviewer: "But what is your position on the number of days in August?"
Vance: "I think the American people have the right to push back against the mainstream media when they tell lies about the calendar."
Interviewer: "So you believe that August has 61 days, and . . ."
Vance: "They're eating the dogs, Becky!  They're eating the cats!  Why don't you ask KaMEEla about THAT, instead of fixating on calendars?"
Interviewer: "Just a quick note for our audience - August actually has 31 days."
Vance: "You said there'd be no fact checking Becky!  You promised!"

Brent loves to start threads espousing nonsense. He gets called out for it. But like his intellectual masters trump and Vance, he never changes his opinion or concedes the truth.
