I wonder if the Republicans will kick him out for compromising, like they did with McCarthy.

Actually, SCOTUS precedent on the second amendment referring to a personal right only goes back to the Heller decision in 2008.

I will also note that this decision further held that some restrictions on the second amendment are permissible, although it left the precise boundaries open.
I think the most sound legal reasoning would be to say he hasn't actually been convicted of any charge that constitutes "insurrection". Conviction is how the government asserts and proves that something happened, and to skip this step opens our legal system for a whole lot of abuse. They're going to say that, if and when he is convicted, then he can be barred, but not before.
It would be possibly the most egregious thing SCOTUS has done (and they've done some shit) if they use this argument. We have the records of the adoption of the 14th, its original wording specified only members of the Confederacy were barred, but they explicitly changed it to cover any act of insurrection. We also know that they considered the language of "any officer" to cover the presidency because someone asked that question, and it's in the minutes.
If it's insulting depends on context, but responding that something is "double plus good" is implying that it is fake, false, propaganda, ingenuine, etc., so keep that in mind.
The game is already out, has been for a few months. It's on Steam, Windows & Mac only.
The game is built on top of Stellaris, with all of the space empire building that entails. It is sort of in the same vein as Civ, but it's more real time and not turn based, and lets you get more into the small details in some ways than Civ does.
This is true, and ultimately fighting is how Vorik's Pon Farr is resolved as well. So there could also be a Vulcan fight club for those afflicted.

Some stores near me had set up Christmas decorations and music before Halloween.
Nobody here is saying it's a cure all. It's a step in the right direction. It's better than doing nothing and continuing on the course we've been on. Do you think an "all or nothing" approach has any chance of working?
Diesel engines have nothing to do with what we were talking about.
And even if you want to call it a "band-aid", that's still better than letting the wound continue to bleed. It slows us down and gives us a chance to course correct, rather than barrelling ahead over the cliff at full speed.
You seem to be forgetting that wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear power exist.
Not to mention that, even with coal generating the energy for the cars, EVs still have lower lifetime emissions than any ICE car.
