You are a hypocrite....

OK, there's the EXACT same information directly from the horse's mouth... :D

Face the facts, Balthy..

Ya'all have been CONNED...

Yer so called "scientists" manipulate and tweak the data to produce the desired outcome..

This is WELL-DOCUMENTED...

Virtually *ALL* of the tweaks and manipulations that your so called "scientists" have done has resulted in warming...

Virtually *ALL* of the warming that you Global Warming fanatics point to COMES from the tweaks and manipulations..

This is all well-documented as fact...

It's a con... Nothing more..

Argumento Fallacy... :D Or whatever JL calls it...

So, you can't address the FACTS that any of those articles raised..

Why??

Because they totally devastate your position...

From reading these, you're just going to LOVE today's article.

Heh.

And please remember, when responding to it, how happy you were to brag about the Rasmussen 50% approval poll just a few weeks ago...

Unreliable tabloid. Same scandal sheet that claimed that Melania Trump used to be a hooker. She won the lawsuit.

The link was dead, but the website is the Committee on Science, Space & Technology, currently headed by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), an ardent climate change denier, who, according to Wikipedia, had received more than $600,000 from the fossil fuel industry as of 2015. The SST website has many headlines that reflect the views of the Chairman and the GOP 'majority'.

That's Tucker Carlson's (a.k.a. NotOReilley) website. Again, can't really trust it. It's Tucker's fault. He's such a dick.

Once again, I think it's cute how you put all your FAITH in this con-artists you call "scientists"

They're called "scientists" for the same reason that engineers are called "engineers" - because they've got graduate and post-graduate degrees, often involving years of intern lab work, papers, dissertations, and the like, and generally earned the title. The most highly credentialed climate scientists in the world today unanimously subscribe to the conclusion that current acceleration of Climate Change is both a man-made phenomena and (for the moment) reversible.

I think it's cute that you think I should get my science instead from Tucker Carlson, Scott Pruitt and Lamar Smith.

Like I said...

DumboCrats.. Check yer stones in your OWN Glass Houses before you start chucking them...

You mean MANIPULATE the scientific data about the planet we inhabit..

You have been conned..

-General 'ICARUS' Renning, BY DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT

Way to insult a Marine Corp General who has devoted his life to keeping you safe so you can insult him...

Yea.. Ya'all have respect for the military... Suuure..... :^/

Yes we will..

Ya'all's predictions have been ABYSMAL as of late..

I think it's cute that ya'all think ya STILL have credibility in that regard.. :D

As opposed to TrainWreckCare which took money from MILLIONS of Americans, INCLUDING the sick, and gave it to insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies???

Check yer stones in yer OWN house, bub...

Oh, apparently you missed all that "saving the economy" stuff that Obama got passed during his first six months.

OK, then Odumbo had 7.5 years to come up with something...

Did you know that someone's blown a load of smoke up your ass? That's asinine, PLUS another asin-eight-and-a-half.

Truth is, Republicans, ever worried about 'vigilance' in security matters, would rather see us stick our collective heads in the sand and sing syllables than collect scientific data about the planet we inhabit, because what that data might reveal would be annoying to their patrons in the petroleum and coal industry. So they want to axe the part of NASA's budget that's being used to collect planetary environmental data. No news like no news, as they say.

That's honest, anyway. But it could include taking money from the sick and giving it to the rich. Just sayin'...

They had 8 years to come up with a plan..

Oh, apparently you missed all that "saving the economy" stuff that Obama got passed during his first six months. Y'see, Obama inherited an economy in free fall, while Trump inherited a low unemployment, low inflation, economy with a built-in growth rate of somewhere around 1.5%.

But it doesn't change the fact that patriotic Americans have resoundingly, definitively and LOUDLY said NO!

And have no idea or any care about what they've rejected, so long as it is attached to the synecdoche "democrat".

This is the line of thinking that McCain, Murkowski, and Collins were rejecting; why McCain walked onto the floor of the Senate last week, looked McConnell in the eye, and said, 'no'.

These were the first defections, there will be more, and then we'll get to see who's better at 'the art of the deal'.

Sorry, but I am sure you would want me to give you my honest assessment and not blow smoke up yer arse...

Jerry Brown....

I realize that it's an attempt to have an uplifting message...

But it's arrogant in the extreme...

Protect the earth.... Humans have the technological capability nor the "work together" spirit that would allow them to have ANY hope of "protecting" the earth...

serve the people.... But ONLY the people who believe as we do.. The rest can go pound sound...

explore the universe.... Would that we could... But there is too much politics.. Do you know that we would be more than halfway to MARS right now if Democrats didn't modify NASAs mission to that bogus load of felgercarb Human Caused Global Warming???

Like I said.. It's a nice notion.. A UNITED EARTH could do it...

But in the here and now when we can't even unite a COUNTRY, let alone a planet!???

It's a pipe dream..

Sorry to be such a downer, but I gots to call 'em as I sees 'em...

"Protect the Earth, serve the people, explore the universe."

Without the crude-ness....

Well, not MUCH of the crude-ness :D

Sounds to me like you are having way too much fun, Michale!

Yes, but now I get to go pick up my beautiful trophy wife and all will be good and right with the world.. :D

They had 8 years to come up with a plan...

They couldn't do it..

WHY??

**BECAUSE THEY AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T WANT IT!!**

What part of *NO* do the Dumbocrats not understand??

It's like the moron legislature in Oregon kept pushing a state sales tax and the people kept voting *NO* nine times in a row!!!

"NINE TIMES!!"
-Principle Rooney, FERRIS BEUHLER'S DAY OFF

THAT was the headline the day after the ninth vote of now..

WHAT PART OF *NO* DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!!??

What sort of plan are they hatching, then?

Who knows!?? I am sure the GOP don't...

But it doesn't change the fact that patriotic Americans have resoundingly, definitively and LOUDLY said NO!!

Elections have consequences..

YOU LOST....

Get over it...

Just try not to let it happen again ... I hate it when you channel your inner Mooch. Heh.

By way of explanation, I had 4 of the 5 grandbabies here today.... A special needs of 4, a toddler of 2 and my gorgeous grand-daughter of six months..

So nerves were kinda frazzled... :D

But all they're asking for is that the plan not steal from the sick and give it to the rich, or burden us with the cost. That's too much to ask? Really?

What sort of plan are they hatching, then?

I have been hearing for MONTHS that "Trump is losing his base"...

And even though I post fact after fact after fact that this is *NOT* happening, people still seem to say it...

So, I over-reacted and my apologies..

I said it looks like he might be losing his base and all I was wondering if you sensed the same thing.

No... there is no reliable indication that President Trump is losing his base...

The people who voted for President Trump are still standing behind him and are grateful for the things that he has accomplished...

Consumer confidence is up and illegal immigration is WAY down...

And now that President Trump has unveiled his new Immigration overhaul plan, things are going to get even better..

Apologies for biting your head off... :D

Nobody told me that Trump is losing his base. I didn't even say that he was losing his base.

I said it looks like he might be losing his base and all I was wondering if you sensed the same thing.

Jeez louise ...

The people who told ya'all that there was a 98.8% chance that Trump would LOSE the election...

Those SAME people are now telling you that President Trump is losing his base..

And YA'ALL believe them because ya'all WANT to believe them..

Ya don't find that the LEAST bit.... oh... I dunno... Delusional???

In other words, is there ANY evidence, aside from polls, that President Trump is losing his base..

No there is not..

Is there ANY evidence that President Trump's base/voters are holding strong??

PLENTY....

So, on the one hand... NO FACTS, NO EVIDENCE..

On the other hand... PLENTY OF FACTS and PLENTY OF EVIDENCE....

So, which is one to believe???

The choice is clear....

If you have any facts that indicate that's part of his "base", I am all ears..

But I have posted facts after facts after facts that show President Trump's base is no going anywhere...

You are quoting polls that have been WRONG, WRONG, IMPRESSIVELY WRONG for the last year plus....

Why would you believe all of the sudden they are correct???

No.. McConnell's plan is to NOT let Dumbocrats dictate terms and plans that the American people have resoundingly rejected for the last 6+ years...

"Elections have consequences."
-Barack Odumbo

DUMBOCRATS LOST...

What part of that do you NOT understand???

It looks like President Trump may be starting to lose some of his base with the Real Clear Politics job approval sliding significantly below 40% ...

Yep..

DEMOCRATS: BETTER DEAL, BETTER PIZZA... HAVE YOU SEEN THE OTHER GUYS!??

:D

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/mitch-mcconnell-republicans-will-go-it-alone-on-tax-reform/article/2630322

1. none of the tax cuts go to the top 1%,

2. none of the money for the cuts is taken from Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security.

3. that the tax cut not add to the deficit. It should be at least revenue neutral.

McConnell said 'nope' to all of it. So his plan is to take money from the sick and suffering, and give it to the elite rich, while adding more debt to the deficit? wow.

The mid-term ads are just writing themselves, these days.

Then why do Democrats use the Stock Market as a litmus test to measure the success of a Democrat POTUS??

That's always been my issue...

Indicators (stock market, gas prices, etc etc) mean one thing under a DEM POTUS, but the exact opposite under a GOP POTUS...

It's soooo confusing... :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM

The stock market indexes are a proxy for the economy, however the real measure of the strength of the economy, in my opinion, should be that most Americans are getting more economically secure and wealthier in 2017 than they were in 2016.

I don't believe this is happening. If you read the latest Credit Suisse Global Wealth report you will see that the wealth in America per person is $345,000 (yes, you read that correctly, see the link below).

So the Stock Market is going gang busters, but there are few of us who, when that add up the total number of people in their household and multiple by $345K are above average.

This is where the median and the average - while the average wealth is $345K, the median is only $45K (see p45 in the link below). I would presume some households of our regulars are ahead of the median.

So for people who are wealthy (like 45), and in particular those whose wealth is invested in capital markets, things are great and the future is sunny.

https://www.credit-suisse.com/corporate/en/research/research-institute/global-wealth-report.html

Because of all the hysterical fear-mongering claims that the stock market would collapse if Trump were elected.. :D

I call it Speaking Fact To Hysteria... :D

Tied for first on America's enemy list: Wall Street, Banking and Insurance industries.
4.Republican Party
5.Democratic Party

Personally, I would love to get rid of all political Partys...

But we have the country we have, not the country we wish to have... :D

No, I think it is the same as mine.. :D

It will be all puppies and rainbows. And I strongly believe that the right person can do it, and since we have 45, he is our only hope in the White House until 46 comes along.

I agree.. :D

Maybe my definition if success is different.

If he is wildly popular it means he has pulled the country together. He was got people to realize that we are all Americans trying to do the best we can. He has tamed the extremists on both sides and given everybody mostly what they want without hurting anybody. We will have everybody covered with the World's best healthcare, we will have solved the N. Korea crisis and they will be on their way to a rich and democratic future. We will have brokered win-win trade agreements, shown the Russian people that there is a better way than their gangster oligocracy, invested with drug companies to eliminate dangerous diseases, and be basking in a peace bounty where our military can stand down and we can fund medicare, social security and have a surplus to pay down the debt.

It will be all puppies and rainbows. And I strongly believe that the right person can do it, and since we have 45, he is our only hope in the White House until 46 comes along.

Isn't that the point?

Yes, that IS the point..

But I have a feeling you and I are in the minority on wanting President Trump to succeed..

Of course. If he is it is good for America.

I'd like him to be the country's most successful President in history until his replacement eclipses him and 47 beats them all.

Isn't that the point?

I was wrong on the word count - both perfect 140s! Twitter uses an unconventional character count to give users a bit more room.

use:

http://www.twitter-character-counter.com/

So, you are saying you will be perfectly happy if President Trump is a success??? :D

"Ya'all" = The Left Wingery in general..

I'll be more specific next time..

Now you are all gung-ho?

I have always been gung-ho about the military.. This is well-documented..

But I see your point.. :D

There is a fresh batch today, but the earliest one of just two is stamped 8:38 am, about 2 hrs later than the norm. About the time staff might have time for a preview, some editing, or just make something up.

Both tweets were unusually innocuous, grammatical AND below the 140 character limit, all very atypical. I think we may now be reading @fake.Donald J. Trump.

Calling All Geeks! A forensic language statistician (NOT ME) needs to do a statistical structure analysis to see if posts after Aug 2 match "fingerprints" Aug 1 and earlier.

You see, it works both ways, Neil.. :D

Putting words in my mouth again Michale. I don't appreciate it.

You said that the American military was weak and inconsequential and could be beaten up by Belgium, and you hoped that the stock market would crash when Obama was in power. Now you are all gung-ho? Is it because the President has an "R" after his name now?

Maybe CoS Kelly has taken 45's toy away - and maybe he had a little adult/child chat with him along the following lines:

1. "You can't fire Mueller without getting somebody or something worse - Mueller as an IC, for example."

2. "If you have done anything wrong vis-a-vis Russian mobster money you REALLY need to keep your mouth shut and your thumbs redundant."

3. "If anybody wants to talk to you about anything other than pics of your grand kids they need to talk to me about it first. And if they come crying to you that I'm not being nice you tell them 'This is the Presidency of the most powerful nation on the planet, get over yourself Eric/Don Jr./Ivanka/Jared/etc.'"

4. "You don't accept offers to talk to Boy Scouts, etc. without clearing it with me first, and I'll have your speeches written and you'll read them verbatim then walk off the stage."

5. "What are the three most important things you want to achieve in 2017? List them and that is all we will focus on until they are achieved, then we will move on to the next three."

Frankly I'm wishing CoS Kelly the best of luck - we need an adult in the White House.

How is that (if it actually occurs) any different than ya'all whine and bitch about digital privacy yet celebrate these California companies??

You see, it works both ways, Neil.. :D

Irregardless of those facts, the point is that there is no economic collapse that ya'all said would occur if President Trump won the election...

:D

Thank goodness for California companies - Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, etc.

45 is claiming them as his creations at the moment - I predict Michale and 45 will be condemning them as "failing companies from socialist California" if/when they tank - their valuations are really high at the moment.

*NOW* what are ya'all going to bitch and moan about!!??? :D

hehehehehehehe

There are no Trump Tweets this AM!

Did Kelly take Trump's T-Bird away? If so, it's the smartest White House move to date.

If the Tweets return, I'm guessing they will be ghost written by English majors working from talking points assembled by professional political staff.

I for one will miss my morning helping of word salad.

All that fear-mongering felgercarb ya'all predicted... :D

It's what happens when ya'all let Party zealotry take precedence over logic and facts...

Ahhhh.. I found the source for this "story"..

It was reported by CNN.. That's the first strike against it..

It's source was anonymous... STRIKE TWO

None of the principles involved would confirm the story.

STRIKE THREE, IT'S OUTTA THERE!!!!

"If you can't back up a claim with facts, the claim is invalid"

Like I said.. I don't make the rules.. I just decimate ya'all's arguments by them.. :D

Not at all..

I just ask that people PROVE that their reality is factual before I accept it..

Yunno... Like ya'all demand of me?? :D

The only difference between me and ya'all is that I *DO* accept the reality as factual when ya'all prove it..

Like now..

Ya'all cannot make the same claim...

:D

I stand corrected.. I wasn't aware of Starr being an Independent Counsel, not a Special Counsel..

If you had mentioned that, I would have conceded the point..

On another note, isn't it funny that no one here can concede when they are wrong??

I just whipped Russ' ass on two major points... Did he concede that I was right??

Of course not..

Oh well.... As I pointed out to Liz... We have the blog we have, not the blog we wish we had... :D

Why not??

That's how you Lefties want to run our US Military.. :D

I'm not a Republican, but if I were that would make me hopping mad.

That's what I like about you, CW....

Yer the ONLY one here, besides me of course, who can actually look at things from the other side and recognize the logic and value of that other side opinion...

Re: Clinton's Ability to Fire Starr - I tried to point out to Michale that the President (Clinton) did not have the power to fire the Independent Council (Starr), but we know how Michale likes to ignore reality when it interferes with his narrative ;)

-CW

Not in CA. We always have the general, even if the top 2 candidates got 75% and 22%. Getting over 50 in the primary doesn't count here in regular primary elections. Not sure about special elections, but we just had one, so I could look it up (Kamala Harris won the Senate seat while still in the state government... um, state AG?... and the gov appointed a House member to take her place. So we had a special election that wound up Dem-v-Dem, as I recall).

In Louisiana, though, you're right about not needing the second round if one gets an absolute majority of the vote.
