		<description>&lt;I&gt;Not only did it in fact happen but this is the second time I have referred to it.&lt;/I&gt;

There are no facts to support this claim..

You can refer to it all you want..

But you have never provided me with a single model or prediction vis a vis the global warming con that was accurate..</description>

&lt;i&gt;Prove it.. You can&#039;t because it only happened in your Trump/America hating addled brain..&lt;/i&gt;

Not only did it in fact happen but this is the second time I have referred to it. 

If you are starting to experience memory loss and/or early onset Dementia and can&#039;t even keep your subjects straight (hint: this had nothing to do with Trump) bandying about insults like &quot;addled brain&quot; may not be in your best interest...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Hawley’s resolution would allow the Senate to dismiss the articles of impeachment for lack of prosecution, once the House has withheld articles for 25 calendar days or more. Under the proposed rule, any senator would be able to move to dismiss the articles once the time period has elapsed. That motion would then be voted upon by the full Senate.

At this point, Pelosi has held the articles of impeachment for 19 days. The House voted to adopt the articles on Dec. 18, 2019.

“After three years of searching for a reason to impeach this president, Democrats in the House cannot seem to find the time to send over the articles of impeachment,” Blackburn said in a statement Monday. “If House Democrats are so confident in their findings, they ought to have no problem sending the articles over within a 25 day deadline.”&lt;/B&gt;


Tick Tock, Dumbocrats...  Tick Tock....

		<description>&lt;B&gt;GOP senators move to dismiss articles of impeachment amid battle with Pelosi

Sen. Hawley to introduce measure to dismiss Trump impeachment if Pelosi fails to send articles to Senate
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley tells &#039;Fox &amp; Friends&#039; that it&#039;s time for the Senate to take action to throw out the case if Democrats don&#039;t prosecute it.

Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri joined with a host of fellow Republicans Monday to introduce a resolution allowing the chamber to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump for lack of prosecution, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi delays sending the case for trial.

The resolution specifically would update Senate rules to allow the chamber to bring a motion dismissing the articles.

“In the real world, when a prosecutor brings a case but refuses to try it, the court has the ability and the defendant has the right – the constitutional right, I might add -- to have those articles, those indictments, those charges dismissed,&quot; Hawley said in a speech on the Senate floor. &quot;That is precisely the action that I am proposing today.”&lt;/B&gt;

Pelosi and the rest of the Dumbocrats lose..

President Trump wins..

AGAIN...  :D</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Australia’s Catastrophic Fires Threaten to Upend the Way People Live
At least 20 people are dead, thousands of homes have been destroyed and millions of animals killed—and blazes could continue for months&lt;/B&gt;

I really don&#039;t understand the issue here..

All Australia has to do is ban fire and there won&#039;t ever be any problems...   :eyeroll:</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Don’t support fighting climate change at your own risk. I live in the Pacific NW... long term predictions have us experiencing a climate that resembles that of So. California. Florida, or what will be left of it, will look more like AZ.&lt;/I&gt;

More fear mongering predictions..

What part of YA&#039;ALL HAVE ***ALWAYS*** BEEN WRONG do you not understand??

Your Global Warming predictions are even MORE ridiculous and moronic as your Trump/America hate predictions..

It&#039;s almost as if ya&#039;all REVEL in being WRONG ALL THE TIME...

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If the yahoo fanatics don&#039;t LIKE the current climate, what do they want to &quot;change&quot; it to??

I mean, let&#039;s suppose humans COULD control the planet&#039;s climate.. What would they do with such control??&lt;/i&gt;

Ohhhhhh, you are getting your info from watching the old GI Joe cartoons where Cobra was using the Weather Dominator to control the weather!   Good Lord, it’s been so obvious this whole time!

At first I thought it was odd that you now believe that people “fighting against climate change” are actually seeking to change our climate.  But you lie all the time, so it isn’t that big of a stretch to think that you might actually believe someone who claims to oppose something actually supports it!    

You believe that people trying to prevent climate change are trying to control the natural climate change patterns that our planet has experienced since it was created.   That is not the case!   Man has caused the CO2 levels to rise over the past century much faster than would occur naturally.  That CO2 has the greenhouse effect on our planet.   What everyone in the world — not including those of you who openly admit to knowing nothing about this subject matter but still feel some justification in claiming everyone else is wrong — is trying to do is to lower the amount of CO2 that man is responsible for adding to our planet’s atmosphere.  

Plastics dumped in the Pacific Ocean have formed an insulating land mass that is likely responsible for the great blob of ocean water that is 2 degrees warmer than surrounding waters...and the blob keeps getting bigger, making the water unlivable for most sea life.  

Don’t support fighting climate change at your own risk.   I live in the Pacific NW... long term predictions have us experiencing a climate that resembles that of So. California.  Florida, or what will be left of it, will look more like AZ.  

That said, I don’t expect anything I say will change your mind, because, face it, that isn’t possible with you.  I keep forgetting that you are only here to play contrarian to anything we say... congrats!  You got me to fall for it again!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I would never deny that humans could have some inpact on climate, but after observing climate where I live for 80 plus yrs, I just have to conclude that the human impact is minimal.&lt;/I&gt;

Yup...  It&#039;s as far away from casual as is possible..

&lt;I&gt;Also, it occurs to me from hearing from geologists that the history of the planet has been an unbroken series of alternating cycles of global warming/global cooling, to wonder if you guys have any valid reason for assuming that where the climate is at this moment actually happens to be the most optimum?&lt;/I&gt;

That&#039;s always been my question..

If the yahoo fanatics don&#039;t LIKE the current climate, what do they want to &quot;change&quot; it to??

I mean, let&#039;s suppose humans COULD control the planet&#039;s climate.. What would they do with such control??

Sunny and 72 every day???  Plants would die..

This global warming fanaticism totally ignores logic and reality..

&lt;I&gt;As a life-long hobby gardner, I&#039;ve witnessed a slight extension of the growing season where I live. Compared to the 1950&#039;s, I currently get an average of three to four weeks of home-grown, vine-ripened tomatoes every summer. Believe me, if that is the down-side of global warming, I say send me more global warming!!&lt;/I&gt;

Yup x2

With all the fear mongering hysteria, these fanatics fail to realize how BENEFICIAL global warming is...

&lt;I&gt;my kids say what&#039;ll you do when CA sinks under the waves from global warming-caused sea level rise.?&lt;/I&gt;

Throw a party????  :D

&lt;I&gt;I respond, &quot;they&#039;ll just have to drown, &#039;cause we wont lem &#039;em in!&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

That works too...  :D</description>

<p>As a life-long hobby gardner, I've witnessed a slight extension of the growing season where I live.  Compared to the 1950's, I currently get an average of three to four weeks of home-grown, vine-ripened tomatoes every summer.  Believe me, if that is the down-side of global warming, I say send me more global warming!!</p>
<p>When I say that, my kids say what'll you do when CA sinks under the waves from global warming-caused sea level rise.?</p>
<p>I respond, "they'll just have to drown, 'cause we wont lem 'em in!"</p>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Why, you may ask, is the Obama shadow government continuing its efforts to resurrect the atrocious and inexplicably deleterious Iran nuclear deal? The answer to that question may lie in the following May 8, 2018 Tweet by one Raman Ghavami (@Raman_Ghavami) which was made following Trump’s withdrawal from the nuclear deal and imposition of trading sanctions. Citing the senior adviser to Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif, Ghavami’s Tweet reads in full as follows:

H.J. Ansari Zarif’s senior advisor: ‘If Europeans stop trading with Iran and don’t put pressure on US then we will reveal which western politicians and how much money they had received during nuclear negotiations to make #IranDeal happen.’ That would be interesting.

Can this be true? Were western politicians — including members of the Obama administration — paid by Iran to enter into the idiotic and dangerous Iran nuclear deal? Could this also explain why, as found by the Senate Permanent Committee on Investigations, the Obama administration lied to Congress to gain approval of the deal while it worked behind the scenes to allow Iran access to U.S. financial markets? Could it be that officials of the Obama administration were and continue to be motivated by Iranian payoffs to sell out America?&lt;/B&gt;

And the facts finally come out..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;In a recent interview with the American Enterprise Institute, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated flatly that former officials of the Obama administration are continuing to meet with Iranian leaders in an effort to undermine President Trump’s Iran policies.

“I’ll be straight up with you,” Pompeo said, “you have folks who served in the previous administration who are telling the Iranian leaders today, ‘Just hang on. President Trump will lose in the election in November, and we’ll go back to appeasement. America will write you a big check, we’ll underwrite your terror campaign around the world, we’ll give you a clear pathway to a nuclear weapon system. Just wait until the Trump administration is finished.’”

As cited in the AEI interview, this is not the first time that Pompeo has raised this spectre. In September 2018, he specifically criticized former Secretary of State John Kerry, for “actively undermining” U.S. Middle East policy by engaging in secret talks with Iran’s foreign minister in which Kerry advised “the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism” to “wait out” the Trump administration. According to the AEI, Pompeo’s criticism was confirmed by Iran’s Fars News agency which reported in May 2018 that private citizen Kerry had conferred with Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an attempt to salvage the nuclear deal.&lt;/B&gt;

Democrats..  Still hurting America and American interests...</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;The Democrats’ Strange Reaction to the Death of Qassem Soleimani

Or maybe it’s not so strange, given the Obama crowd’s unending Iran Deal treachery.

Which brings us to the recent drone strike on Major General Qassem Soleimani of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Force (“IRGC”) and his top ally in Iraq, militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. Soleimani commanded the IRGC’s Quds Force which is primarily responsible for military and clandestine operations outside Iran. As reported extensively elsewhere, he was responsible for deployment of Iranian designed and manufactured IEDs that caused the deaths and wounding of thousands of American military personnel during the Iraq War.

Despite Soleimani’s bloody record, the drone strike that killed him, carried out at the direction of President Trump, has been bitterly denounced by Democrat office holders and their wholly-owned mainstream media subsidiary. To hear them tell it, by authorizing the killing of  Soleimani without first consulting Congress, Trump has acted illegally and heedlessly and unnecessarily risked all-out war with Iran. 

While Democrat and media criticism of Trump is hardly news, the context and vehemence of this latest condemnation raise interesting questions regarding the Democrats’ true motives which, as will be discussed below, appear to be nefarious and corrupt. &lt;/B&gt;
https://spectator.org/the-democrats-strange-reaction-to-the-death-of-qassem-soleimani/

By not rally&#039;ing around the President, Democrats are alienating the vast majority of Americans who support the President&#039;s decision..

As I said before, it&#039;s like Democrats WANT to lose big in 2020.....</description>

		<description>I am gonna take a stab and operate under the assumption that THIS was your argument.

&lt;B&gt;I do not understand why people who freely admit that they have no idea how climate change occurs feel so confident that man cannot influence it or effect it in any way!&lt;/B&gt;

And I stand by my response...

NO ONE is arguing that humans can&#039;t have an impact/influence/effect on the planet&#039;s climate..

The debate is can humans CAUSE the planet&#039;s climate to change..

And the answer to that is NO...  We do not have the technology to change our planet&#039;s climate to what we would wish it to be..

Personally, I think the impact humans have on the planet is negligible as, say, compared to the sun..

But regardless of the AMOUNT of impact humans have on the planet&#039;s climate....

Humans cannot CAUSE the planet&#039;s climate to change..

THAT is the debate under way..

You have taken Balthy&#039;s position that Humans (not only can but) ARE causing climate change..

This is not a factual position to take..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;But science DOES know, and you simply refuse to listen when we tell you this!&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, there are PLENTY of real scientists that dispute your theory...

Why don&#039;t you address all those scientists??

You can&#039;t..

&lt;I&gt;WRONG! Find me one place where I have even suggested such ignorance — you cannot, because I have not! The sun heats our planet, so it is definitely playing a role in climate change.&lt;/I&gt;

You said HUMANS causes the planet&#039;s climate to change..

Now yer backpedaling and say other factors are in play..

Make up your mind..

&lt;I&gt;Actually, we have known what causes climate change for decades! &lt;/I&gt;

Bullshit...  Facts to support??

Of course not..

Scientists.. REAL scientists acknowledge that we have barely scratched the surface of what drives and moves the planet&#039;s climate.. We&#039;re barely beginning to know what we don&#039;t even know about the planet&#039;s climate..

&lt;I&gt;Climate change is always happening and has always been happening since the earth was formed! &lt;/I&gt;

Exactly.. So, humans CAN&#039;T be the cause of climate change because there were no humans when the planet&#039;s climate started changing..

&lt;I&gt;Major volcano eruptions are always big influencers to climate change, but instead of trapping the heat in like with CO2, the volcanic ash in the upper atmosphere prevents the sunlight from heating up the air in the lower atmosphere...welcome to the ice age!&lt;/I&gt;

Exactly.. ALL without a single input from humans and industrialization..

So, now it sounds like you agree with me that humans don&#039;t cause climate change, that there are MANY other factors involved and that humans, if they are impacting the planet&#039;s climate at all, are simply one of a multitude of factors impacting the planet&#039;s climate.. And NOT the most important factor...  The sun is the most important factor in the planet&#039;s climate..

If you agree with that, then we have nothing left to debate..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;*** NEWSFLASH!!!!  IRAN RETALIATES AGAIN!!! ***

At least two rockets hit near US embassy in Baghdad: witnesses..

Baghdad (AFP) - Two rockets hit near the US embassy in Iraq&#039;s capital Sunday, witnesses told AFP, hours after the ambassador was summoned over a US strike that killed top Iraqi and Iranian commanders.

Sunday&#039;s attack was the second night in a row that the Green Zone was hit and the 14th time over the last two months that US installations have been targeted.

A third rocket simultaneously hit a family home outside the Green Zone, wounding four, medical sources told AFP.&lt;/B&gt;
https://news.yahoo.com/least-two-rockets-hit-near-us-embassy-baghdad-000726339.html

Apparently, Iran is THE COUNTRY THAT COULDN&#039;T SHOOT STRAIGHT..  :^/

THIS is what ya&#039;all are hysterically fear-mongering about???

:D

You people crack me up.. Only one person here, besides me, has the integrity to give President Trump the credit he deserves for taking out that terrorist scumbag who has brutally murdered hundreds of Americans..

I am honestly shocked that the Trump/America haters would actually stoop THIS low in supporting the scumbag terrorist over their own President..</description>

		<description>Michale,

&lt;I&gt;Just because we don&#039;t know those answers doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s not happening..&lt;/i&gt;

But science DOES know, and you simply refuse to listen when we tell you this!

&lt;i&gt;Only a raging moron would think that the sun has NO EFFECT on the planet&#039;s climate..&lt;/i&gt;

I could not agree more with this comment!

&lt;i&gt;A position you seem to be advocating..&lt;/i&gt;

WRONG!  Find me one place where I have even suggested such ignorance — you cannot,  because I have not!  The sun heats our planet, so it is definitely playing a  role in climate change.

&lt;I&gt;OK... You don&#039;t know WHAT changed the climate before humans were industrialized, but you do concede that the planet&#039;s climate WAS changing before humans were industrialized..

So... Even if we don&#039;t know exactly what was changing the planet&#039;s climate, SOMETHING was..&lt;/i&gt;

Actually, we have known what causes climate change for decades!   You just refuse to accept the main one, even though anyone who has ever walked into a greenhouse knows how it works: It is caused by increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere!  Seriously, a greenhouse is just a mini eco-system that we create to grow certain plants.  Green houses don’t have insulation in their walls because they do not need it...the added levels of CO2 in the air traps the heated air that the sunlight created.  Heck, in winter time, the sun may not shine bright enough or long enough to heat the air in a greenhouse, but man made heaters can be used to mimic the sunlight’s effect on the CO2 in the greenhouse.  

Climate change is always happening and has always been happening since the earth was formed!  It isn’t a creation of man, but man has definitely done things to influence climate change.  Before man, natural disasters were the main influencers of climate change.  Major volcano eruptions are always big influencers to climate change, but instead of trapping the heat in like with CO2, the volcanic ash in the upper atmosphere prevents the sunlight from heating up the air in the lower atmosphere...welcome to the ice age!

Do you agree that volcanic eruptions can cause climate change?  I got more, but it’s not worth discussing if we cannot agree on the basics.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;I do not understand why people who freely admit that they have no idea how climate change occurs feel so confident that man cannot influence it or effect it in any way!&lt;/I&gt;

And once again, you are responding to an argument that no one has made..

No one has claimed that man cannot influence climate in any way..

&lt;I&gt;I wonder if maybe people aren’t literally in denial when they deny climate change; &lt;/I&gt;

And again.. You are arguing a point that no one has made..

Of course the climate is changing.. It&#039;s been changing long, long, LONG before humans were on the seen.. It&#039;ll be changing long after humans have left the planet..

&lt;I&gt;If you aren’t gonna be part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. &lt;/I&gt;

And, if you continue to use modern conveniences you too are &quot;part of the problem&quot;.. Get a bicycle, get rid of all your electronic devices, grow your own food..

If you TRULY believe there is an imminent threat to the planet, then you MUST give up all your modern conveniences..

Anything less and yer nothing but a hypocrite.. A Chicken Little hypocrite..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;After having read a lot of comments at this site in its comments sections over the years if not decades, I believe a primer on the science of climate change is in order.&lt;/I&gt;

I completely agree..

&lt;B&gt;IF YOU HAVE A THEORY AND ALL YOUR PREDICTIONS AND MODEL ON THAT THEORY ARE WRONG... IT&#039;S TIME TO GET A NEW THEORY...&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>Liz,

&lt;I&gt;Why did Martha Doss vote for Trump and do you think she&#039;ll vote that way again?&lt;/I&gt;

I don&#039;t read her mind but, based on the article, she is voting President Trump for several reasons..

She is sick and tired of Democrats and their identity politics..  If your black or hispanic or LBGQTVABC you HAVE to be a Democart...

She is Christian and simply doesn&#039;t like the Democrats anti-Christian attitudes..

But most of all, she understands that for her and for people like here, Democrats take her for granted and President Trump takes care of her and people like her..

A perfect example of this is the *FACT* that hispanic American unemployment is at it&#039;s lowest point it&#039;s been EVER...

All those reasons (and I am sure a lot more) are why hispanic Americans are moving to President Trump by the millions..

Democrats don&#039;t stand a chance in 2020...</description>

&lt;I&gt;I can give you the what, but the how is above my pay grade.&lt;/i&gt;

I do not understand why people who freely admit that they have no idea how climate change occurs feel so confident that man cannot influence it or effect it in any way!

I wonder if maybe people aren’t literally in &lt;b&gt;&lt;I&gt;denial&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; when they deny climate change;  because admitting that man has triggered this emergency would cause such feelings of guilt for unknowingly harming the world their kids and grandkids will have to live with.  People need to realize that we all share in the blame for causing us to be where we are today.  They should only feel guilt if they choose to deny the truth now that we know what how damaging our CO2 footprints have been over the decades...because they deserve to be blamed at that point.

Seniors feel like they have been blamed for lots of our nation’s past sins.  White guilt is already a sensitive subject for a large part of the senior population, and feeling blamed for screwing the climate up would only pile on the guilt and make them feel even worse!   

Oil companies are finally publicly admitting to the harms that their products have played a role in when it comes to climate change.  This is great, but they are also still funding the lobbyists who are pushing out misinformation and getting politicians to continue in their denial of the truth.  Why would an oil company lie and admit to the harm of CO2 if it weren’t true?  There are plenty of reasons to lie and deny it is harmful, but no one claims that their product is harmful if it isn’t...their profits would suffer.

People need to know that it is OK to feel foolish when they realize they have been lied to by corporations and politicians that they put their trust in — no one enjoys admitting that they were taken advantage of.  This is where we have to tell seniors to “man up” and get over the hurt to their egos...climate change is a real threat that demands our attention now!  If you aren’t gonna be part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.  It’s their choice how they choose to be remembered!</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Born in Mexico, this new American is voting for Donald Trump

Martha Doss, who was naturalized in 2017, is an example of the complexities of Texas’ political landscape amid the immigration debate.

On the day Martha Doss became a U.S. citizen in 2017, she couldn’t stop thinking of her mother.

“She wanted to desperately be an American,” she said, remembering the woman who brought her and her twin sister from Mexico to the United States when they were children in the mid-1980s.

Becoming a citizen meant her mother’s dream of a better life for her children had, in some way, been fulfilled.

It also meant that in 2020, Martha could vote in what will likely be one of the most contentious and hard-fought presidential elections.

And on that day in 2017 when Martha pledged to “support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” she knew exactly whom she would vote for: Donald Trump.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2020/01/05/born-in-mexico-this-new-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump/

Remind me again how minorities don&#039;t like President Trump??

I seem to have forgotten, what with all the FACTS to the contrary</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Bullshit..

Only the tweaked and massaged temps are going up..

The accurate untouched raw temp data shows a slight decline in global temps..&lt;/I&gt;

In other words, it&#039;s only in the data where so-called &quot;scientists&quot; played &quot;Hide The Decline&quot;.. THAT data shows an increase..  But that data is falsified and not factually accurate..</description>

<p>In other words, it's only in the data where so-called "scientists" played "Hide The Decline".. THAT data shows an increase..  But that data is falsified and not factually accurate..</p>

		<description>I swear.. Debating with ya&#039;all on the con that is global warming is like trying to debate a religious fanatic on the existence of god..

No amount of logic or facts or reality will convince them..  They simply HAVE to have their god of global warming, no matter HOW WRONG each and every prediction has been...</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;OK, but in what ways does the sun effect climate change? How does it cause change? Increased amounts of radiation hitting the earth?&lt;/I&gt;

Just because we don&#039;t know those answers doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s not happening..

Only a raging moron would think that the sun has NO EFFECT on the planet&#039;s climate..

A position you seem to be advocating..

&lt;I&gt;Everything I have claimed can effect climate change you have argued is utterly false! So obviously I do not know. &lt;/I&gt;

OK... You don&#039;t know WHAT changed the climate before humans were industrialized, but you do concede that the planet&#039;s climate WAS changing before humans were industrialized..

So... Even if we don&#039;t know exactly what was changing the planet&#039;s climate, SOMETHING was..

It&#039;s logical to infer that whatever changed the planet&#039;s climate BEFORE humans were industrialized is still active and STILL having an effect on the planet, causing the climate to change..

Is that not rational???</description>

		<description>Stucki- 

&lt;i&gt;Obviously, first and foremost, the big bonfire in the sky, plus lesser influences such as orbital fluctuations.&lt;/i&gt;

Actually the effect of the Sun is known and not a strong driver in climate change. For example we are and have been for a few years heading toward the solar minimum (possibly a grand minimum) and yet global temperatures are still going up. Orbital fluctuations do have an effect on the climate, more than solar fluctuations, but not enough to account for current warming.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;The planet&#039;s climate has been changing for billions of years..

What caused the planet&#039;s climate to change all those billions of years before humans became industrialized??&lt;/i&gt;

Everything I have claimed can effect climate change you have argued is utterly false!  So obviously I do not know.  But since you know what does not effect it, you should be able to say what does.  Let’s hear it!</description>

		<description>Bashi,

&lt;b&gt;But since you are unwilling or unable to do so, lets look at it through the lens of Occam&#039;s razor: what&#039;s the simpler explanation, a world wide conspiracy of every nation on earth&#039;s scientific community or a self professed knuckle dragger just doesn&#039;t, or for political purposes refuses, to understand basic science?&lt;/b&gt;

BINGO!   We have a winner!  

Well said!</description>

It&#039;s really simple, Balthy..

Humans cannot cause the climate to change...

Humans cannot STOP the climate from changing..

Once you accept those two facts and the reality then you will be well on your way to understanding the utter con that is the Global Warming religion..

If you don&#039;t see the con, if you still believe in the con, then you should immediately cease all use of electronics and combustion engines.. Because, when you use those things you are part of the problem you claim exists..
&lt;/i&gt;

You&#039;ve been pawning this BS for a couple of decades now without ever backing it up. But since you are unwilling or unable to do so, lets look at it through the lens of Occam&#039;s razor: what&#039;s the simpler explanation, a world wide conspiracy of every nation on earth&#039;s scientific community or a self professed knuckle dragger just doesn&#039;t, or for political purposes refuses, to understand basic science?</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Yea... Cuz a fire is equivalent to an entire planet&#039;s climate...&lt;/i&gt;

Even you are not this dumb!  We were discussing your apparent claim that “Cause” and “Control” share the same definition since you believe you they are interchangeable without altering the meaning of the statement.  

God you suck at this!   Your attempts at mental gymnastics and twisting words to try to hide having your lies called out is really pathetic.  In the end, we both know that you are wrong and you know it!

Honestly, I believe that our country’s only hope for survival is to be rid of people who choose to lie constantly for whatever reason they want to try to justify their dishonesty.   You cannot be reasoned with.  You refuse to reside in a reality that values truth or honesty above personal gain.  You are toxic and we don’t need you or want you.  Fortunately, your time here is almost over.  How sad that the generation that followed the “Greatest Generation” would wind up being remembered as the “WORST Generation”!</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Democrats still delusional about Trump even after Qassem Soleimani death

The calendar turns and a decade begins, but there is nothing new under the sun in Washington. Even the killing of an Iranian mass murderer is cause for more partisan strife.

In a sane country, which America used to be, there would be shared sober satisfaction over the elimination of Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Yet Democrats apparently outsourced their reactions to robots, whose script called for conceding that the departed was a very bad man, but prohibited approval of President Trump’s decision to take him out.

Instead, the quibblers’ chorus raised questions of timing and expressed fear of escalation and retaliation. In the context of Iran’s military aggression and Soleimani’s bloody hands, there is another word for that fear: appeasement.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;I&gt;No.. If you are wrong, you will have totally wrecked whole entire economies..
&lt;/i&gt;

So this is all about the fear of some people losing money!  And your proof of this being what results from fighting climate change?    Lemme guess... it comes from an organization funded by the Cock...I meant, Koch brothers?  Surprise, surprise, surprise!

“Whole entire economies” being wrecked?  Are you sure it wouldn’t be “partially entire economies” that might be hurt?  Or just the profits of a few major corporations?  

Funny, the growth of the alternative energy sector has already been a huge benefit to the economy.  Yes, places like Russia that have their entire economy riding on a single export and refuse to diversify their markets will suffer economically, so you ignoring the truth in favor of parroting their propaganda shouldn’t surprise anyone.  

In fact, fighting climate change creates far more jobs and income than ignoring it would. Seriously, you must get awfully sore being used by these oil companies day after day!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Again, you are the only person claiming this. So I guess that means that you intentionally being dishonest is now called “semantics”, is that it?&lt;/I&gt;

Apparently, you haven&#039;t read any of Blathy&#039;s comments..  :eyeroll:

&lt;I&gt;Everyone who causes a fire to start is able to control that fire? Children who die in fires that they accidentally caused were actually suicidal? Why do we have what is referred to as “controlled fires” if all fire is under man’s control?&lt;/I&gt;

Yea... Cuz a fire is equivalent to an entire planet&#039;s climate...

You know how I know when I have you???

When you start making utterly bullshit and ridiculous comments like that one..

<p>Everyone who causes a fire to start is able to control that fire?  Children who die in fires that they accidentally caused were actually suicidal?  Why do we have what is referred to as “controlled fires” if all fire is under man’s control?    </p>
<p>How frustrating it must get for you!  I mean it takes work to spin so many lies, yet they never fool anyone...you always get caught up in your own lies.</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If we are wrong, then nothing happens that could harm us!&lt;/I&gt;

No.. If you are wrong, you will have totally wrecked whole entire economies..

And it&#039;s very relevant that, to date, you and your fellow global warming fanatics have ***ALWAYS*** been wrong..

&lt;I&gt;if THEY are wrong, then we face disasters on a global scale and they face lawsuits demanding that they pay for damages they helped cause.&lt;/I&gt;

Using that childish reasoning, you should never leave your house because of what *MIGHT* happen..

You and your fellow fanatics have been promising the end of the world for decades now..  

Occasional Cortex is the latest moron with her &quot;12 years&quot; bullshit.

And ya&#039;all have ALWAYS been wrong..

You morons can only cry wolf so many times before you become a laughing stock..

And that&#039;s where ya&#039;all are now..

A laughing stock..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;This hysterical fear mongering is just you and your fellow Dumbocrats way to push an agenda..&lt;/i&gt;

Says the Republican parrot!  Here is the problem with this line of (not)thinking by you:

This is NOT simply part of the Democrats’ agenda,  every country in the world but us and one or two dictatorships agree that this problem exists!  But again, you trust those good people at Big Oil to tell you the REAL truth.  What reason do THEY have to lie to u$?  

Look at it this way:

If we are wrong, then nothing happens that could harm us!   

If you...I should not say “you” because we know that you aren’t the one coming up with this crap, “YOU” just repeat it like a good parrot...if THEY are wrong, then we face disasters on a global scale and they face lawsuits demanding that they pay for damages they helped cause.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;If humans cause the planet&#039;s climate to change and the planet&#039;s climate has been changing for billions of years and humans have only be industrialized for 60 of that billions of years...

This begs the question.

WHAT caused the planet&#039;s climate to change where there WERE NO HUMANS???

How did the planet&#039;s climate change in the past with no humans around to do it??&lt;/i&gt;

That’s a great question for YOU to answer, Michale!   

How did the planet’s climate change in the past before man showed up?

Are you suggesting that the climate never changes?  

And if it does change on its own, what causes those changes to occur?   Do major volcanic eruptions have any effect on climate change?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;If you don&#039;t see the con, if you still believe in the con, then you should immediately cease all use of electronics and combustion engines.. Because, when you use those things you are part of the problem you claim exists..&lt;/i&gt;

How do all electronics contribute to the problem that you claim doesn’t exist?  And if combustion engines have no effect on things like the air we breathe, then by all means go into your garage, close the door, and crank up your car!  Prove us wrong!   

Idiots like you were crowing about how there were no studies that PROVED cigarette smoking CAUSED cancer for decades no matter how many were put before you.  

Either you have such a fragile ego that you cannot handle the idea of admitting that for years, a corporation that you trusted tricked you into believing their bullshit claims that their products are completely safe; or you blame your lack of education for your crappy life and that resentment is why you feel the need to disagree with any science the Republicans tell you is wrong — or maybe I was wrong about you being too smart to believe Trump’s claim of being a genius who just feels that climate change is fake based on the fact that he had an uncle who worked in the physics department at MIT.   

Point is, no matter what your reason for parroting the oil companies’ misinformation campaigns: you are wrong, you know you are wrong, and while you may enjoy saying this crap just to get a rise out of liberals, at the end of the day you know that you are just a corporate pimp’s sex slave — getting used and humiliated by them on a daily basis!  Seriously, I am sure most people here find you frustrating, at most, but I cannot imagine how much you must hate yourself to knowingly parrot people who use you and could not care less about you!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;..stating &quot;clearly and unequivocally&quot; that humans could endure &quot;untold suffering&quot; if massive changes aren&#039;t made to the biosphere. . .&lt;/I&gt;

Which says NOTHING about humans causing the planet&#039;s climate to change..

THINK, Balthy..

If humans could really control the climate, as you claim, we could deflect hurricanes.. hell.. We could ELIMINATE hurricanes.. No more tornados...  

HUMANS CANNOT CONTROL THE PLANET&#039;S CLIMATE...

Anyone who thinks that humans CAN control the planet&#039;s climate is ignorant or a moron..

&lt;I&gt;All 11,000 of them? And there are lots of quotes.&lt;/I&gt;

From who?? Mickey Mouse?? Or Dundledorf??

&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s more than propaganda. &lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s really not.. It&#039;s a single guy who releases the same bullshit year after year and simply updates it for the current year..

It&#039;s BLATANT propaganda..

&lt;I&gt;You&#039;re Sociopathic.&lt;/I&gt;

If, by &quot;sociopathic&quot; you mean dead on ballz factually accurate...

		<description>Oh, for Christ&#039;s sake.  Read the article.

&lt;i&gt;I see nothing in there that those scientists claim that humans have caused the planet&#039;s climate to change..&lt;/i&gt;

..stating &quot;clearly and unequivocally&quot; that humans could endure &quot;untold suffering&quot; if massive changes aren&#039;t made to the biosphere. . .

&lt;i&gt;And none of the scientists are named or quoted.&lt;/i&gt;

All 11,000 of them? And there are lots of quotes.

&lt;i&gt; You just have propaganda.. No facts..&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s more than propaganda. If you can&#039;t see that 

You&#039;re Sociopathic.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Funny thing about those 11,000 &quot;scientists&quot;..

One of them was named &quot;Mouse, Mickey&quot;...

Another one was Albus Dumbledore whose job was listed as HEADMASTER AT HOGWARTS

Still another &quot;scientist&quot; who signed on was Araminta Aardvark from the UNIVERSITY OF NEASDEN&lt;/I&gt;

You see, this is EXACTLY the problem with most of ya&#039;all..

Ya&#039;all have absolutely NO CRITICAL THINKING skills.

You buy into ANY bullshit spewage that comes down the road as long as it fits your hate and bigoted agenda..

It&#039;s why ya&#039;all (NEN) always lose debates with me..

You bring hysterical nonsense to the debate.. I bring facts and reality..</description>

		<description>Now we come to learn that Obama ALLIED himself and this country with Qasem Soleimani...

&lt;B&gt;The shadowy Iranian spy chief who helped plan Benghazi

As Kenneth R. Timmerman reveals in his new book, “Dark Forces,” Suleymani was even the shadowy figure behind the killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi, Libya.

He’s the Wizard of Oz of Iranian terror, the most dreaded and most effective terrorist alive.

He is Qassem Suleymani, the head of the Quds Force, an organization that acts as a combination CIA and Green Berets for Iran, and a man who has orchestrated a campaign of chaos against the United States around the world.

Today, the Obama Administration has allied itself with Suleymani to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

In this case, Iran’s goals — a Shi’ite-friendly government in Iraq — coincides with America’s hope that the country doesn’t fall apart.

But don’t be fooled: It’s only a partnership of convenience, and one that won’t last.&lt;/B&gt;

		<description>&lt;B&gt;It would seem to have been impossible, but as bad as it has been for the last three years, Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached unforeseen levels.

But a deeper cause of this increased derangement may stem from events that began September 11, 2012—the Obama administration’s behavior in the aftermath of the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

As most will recall, the administration sent Susan Rice to inform the nation that the lethal terror attack occurred because of a spontaneous emotional reaction to an amateur anti-Islamic video that barely anyone had ever watched. It was not a planned attack by a terror group, Rice said. That was a despicable lie.


Kenneth Timmerman wrote in the NY Post in June 2014: “My sources, meanwhile, say Suleymani [sic] was involved in an even more direct attack on the U.S.—the killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi, Libya.”

Timmerman goes on to detail a complicated and clever plot behind Benghazi worthy of the evil mastermind Qasem Soleimani. (Read it here.)

If this is true—and it seems vastly more likely than Susan Rice’s “explanation”—then what just occurred at Baghdad Airport is a prime, and highly-justified, example of that old saw: what goes around comes around.&lt;/B&gt;


So.. It turns out that President Trump finally got revenge for Benghazi..

Once again, the Odumbo Administration dropped the ball and Americans paid with their lives..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Trump Derangement Syndrome Skyrockets Over Soleimani

Remember “politics ends at the water’s edge”?

In the Trump era, that patriotic phrase is not only dead, it’s decomposed.

And ironically so, since the latest manifestation of this decomposition is over the termination of Qasem Soleimani, the terror mastermind who was, on analysis, even more dangerous to the United States and the world than bin Laden and al-Baghdadi, monumentally evil as they were.

Neither bin Laden, nor al-Baghdadi ever had remotely the power at their disposals—even when the latter controlled his caliphate—Soleimani did as the military leader of by far the greatest state sponsor of terrorism. They were not even close to him who was head of Iran’s Quds force and the second most powerful person in that country of eighty plus million, with all its attendant weaponry and technology and ties to China and Russia.

Besides the thousands of Americans who either died or were maimed for life because of Soleimani, hundreds of thousands across the Middle East have met their fates at least in part through this man’s ministrations.

Yet the supposedly liberal and progressive Democrats are all in a dither about the assassination of Soleimani. After all, Trump did it. It has to be wrong.

Not only would these same Democrats obviously have applauded the action if it had been done by one of their own, equally obviously many of them would have attacked Trump even if had he assassinated Hitler in 1940, blaming the president for escalating the conflict.


It’s that simple—and nauseating—and every honest person in America knows it, especially the vets almost all of whom have friends incinerated by one of Soleimani’s roadside bombs, if they are not themselves walking around on prosthetic devices.

And this leaves aside whatever Qasem’s plans were that constituted the proximate cause of the assassination. If past performance is any indication, he had many.

Meanwhile the Democratic candidates are demonstrating uniform cowardice in the face of the action. Is there one of them you would want to have beside you in a foxhole?&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-derangement-syndrome-skyrockets-over-soleimani_3193863.html

If Democrats wanted a snowball&#039;s chance in hell of winning the election, they would have supported President Trump to the hilt..

As it stands now, with the Democrats siding with Iran, it&#039;s all but guaranteed that lose the House.. 

The presidency?? It&#039;s a given that President Trump will be re-elected..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Higher oil prices could knee cap the economy and end the Good Times.&lt;/I&gt;

Except, of course, the facts prove that the US is not dependent on foreign as it once was...

Thanx to President Trump..

So, yer just spewing nothing but hate-based bullshit..

		<description>Hay Balthy...

Funny thing about those 11,000 &quot;scientists&quot;..

One of them was named &quot;Mouse, Mickey&quot;...

Another one was Albus Dumbledore whose job was listed as HEADMASTER AT HOGWARTS

Still another &quot;scientist&quot; who signed on was Araminta Aardvark from the UNIVERSITY OF NEASDEN

&lt;B&gt;Climate Depot’s Marc Morano noted that the alliance posted a similar declaration in 2017, and that both were spearheaded by OSU forestry professor William J. Ripple, but that the previous petition was signed by 15,000 “world scientists.”

“Here we go again: The same organization is attempting to recycle their non-scientific commentary about a ‘climate emergency’ with a heavy dose of grad students, social workers, psychologists, veterinarians, librarians, and of course, Disney’s famous mouse character,” said Mr. Morano in an email.

Cracked Breitbart’s James Delingpole: “Now they’re down to just 11,000. Presumably, this time, Professors Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, the Little Mermaid, the Seven Dwarfs and the 101 Dalmatians just weren’t available.”

Australian climate blogger JoNova pointed out that none of the world’s leading climate scientists, including Penn State’s Michael Mann and NASA’s Gavin Schmidt, signed the article.

“Strangely, the world’s about to die and yet none of the top climate scientists are willing to put their name on the list,” she said.&lt;/B&gt;

And here I thought you wanted to discuss this issue SERIOUSLY...  :eyeroll:

Tell Professor Mickey Mouse to shove it..

There is no &quot;climate emergency&quot;.. 

Even if their was, humans lack the technological capability to do anything about to stop it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m finally catching up with CW.com due to extensive 2020 upgrades to my home electronics: refurbished vintage pre-amp, new monitor to support more simultaneous apps, plus better and more secure (cat resistant)cabling.  

Anyway, the foreign policy part of preamble to this week&#039;s FTP really stole the show from the talking points themselves IMHOP.

&quot;Is there even a plan? Are there even projections? Does anyone at the Pentagon or the C.I.A. or in the White House really know what our ultimate objective really is, at this point? Are there a few contingency plans lying around for what could happen next? It&#039;d be nice to hear some answers to those questions, to reassure America that Trump didn&#039;t just decide to do this in some hissy fit with no regard for the consequences.&quot;  

In order of the above questions, I would wager: 

1) Plan? - A work in progress
2) Objective? - Nothing beyond the Fox News Cycle
3) Contingency plans? The usual - Just wing it
4) Hissy fit?  Bingo!

Immediately prior to the operational briefing, did Trump even know the name of the guy he was whacking?  Could he recall the name now without a cue card? Does he know what QUDS capabilities are?

The Iranians will probably have a much better planned counter response.  Mafia Donald thinks he understands the game, but he&#039;s just a failed Real Estate Punk with Mafia Connections and Mafia-esque aspirations.  Trump&#039;s chaos loving base is happy enough with that sort of President.  I suspect Trump&#039;s corporate backers didn&#039;t see this one coming and are reaching for their antacids - or some thing stronger. Higher oil prices could knee cap the economy and end the Good Times.</description>

		<description>Lemme ask you something, Balthy..

The planet is BILLIONS of years old..  The planet&#039;s climate has been changing for all of that time.

Humans on this planet??  Oh, the last 100,000 years or so...

Industrialized humans??  The last 60 years..

So,  I have to ask..

If humans cause the planet&#039;s climate to change and the planet&#039;s climate has been changing for billions of years and humans have only be industrialized for 60 of that billions of years...

This begs the question.

WHAT caused the planet&#039;s climate to change where there WERE NO HUMANS???

That is why your entire theory is bullshit..</description>

		<description>I see nothing in there that those scientists claim that humans have caused the planet&#039;s climate to change..

And none of the scientists are named or quoted..

In other words.. You just have propaganda.. No facts..

So, your comment is a 3 time EPIC fail...</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;11,000 scientists sign declaration of global climate emergency 
Humans could endure &quot;untold suffering&quot; if massive changes aren&#039;t made.
By
Julia Jacobo
November 5, 2019, 7:48 PM

Thousands of scientists from around the world have mobilized to warn people of an impending global climate emergency if levels of greenhouse gas emissions are not significantly reduced.

More than 11,000 scientists have signed a declaration stating &quot;clearly and unequivocally&quot; that humans could endure &quot;untold suffering&quot; if massive changes aren&#039;t made to the biosphere, according to an article published in the scientific journal Bioscience on Tuesday, exactly 40 years after the First World Climate Conference was held in Geneva.

At that conference, scientists from 50 nations agreed that alarming trends tied to climate change required urgent action, and since then, similar warnings have been made at the 1992 Rio Summit, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement, according to the article, which claims that the world has conducted &quot;business as usual&quot; since then and has largely failed to address the issue.

Despite the explicit warnings, greenhouse gas emissions are still &quot;rapidly rising&quot; and continuing to damage the climate at increasing rates, according to the article.

&quot;Troubling&quot; human activities that contribute to Earth&#039;s rising temperature include sustained increases in both human and ruminant livestock population, per-capita meat production, the world&#039;s gross domestic product, global tree cover loss, fossil fuel consumption, the number of people traveling via air transportation and carbon dioxide emissions, the article states.

The impacts from the rising global surface temperatures include rapidly disappearing ice, such as Arctic sea ice, ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic and the thickness of glaciers worldwide. Rising sea levels, the ocean&#039;s heat content and acidity, the amount of area burned in the U.S. and extreme weather and the costs associated with it are also &quot;disturbing&quot; trends seen from rising temperatures, according to the article.

What the scientists find &quot;especially worrisome&quot; is a potentially irreversible climate tipping point that could lead to a catastrophic &quot;hothouse Earth,&quot; beyond the control of humans.

&quot;These issues highlight the urgent need for action,&quot; the article states.

However, some &quot;encouraging signs&quot; of progress include decreases in global birth rates, decelerated deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, increases in the consumption of solar and wind power, institutional fossil fuel divestment of more than $7 trillion and the proportion of greenhouse gas emissions covered by carbon pricing, according to the article.

To create the changes necessary, the scientists recommend:

• Implementing massive energy efficiency and conservation practices to replace fossil fuels with low-carbon renewables.

• Promptly reducing emissions of short-term pollutants, such as methane and black carbon.

• Protecting and restoring Earth&#039;s ecosystems.

• Eating mostly plant-based foods while reducing the global consumption of animal products while also drastically reducing the &quot;enormous&quot; amount of food waste around the world.

• Curtailing the excessive extraction of materials and overexploitation of ecosystems driven by economic growth.

• Stabilizing, and, ideally, gradually reducing population growth &quot;within a time frame that ensures social integrity.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

Will 11,000 do?</description>

<p>Thousands of scientists from around the world have mobilized to warn people of an impending global climate emergency if levels of greenhouse gas emissions are not significantly reduced.</p>
<p>More than 11,000 scientists have signed a declaration stating "clearly and unequivocally" that humans could endure "untold suffering" if massive changes aren't made to the biosphere, according to an article published in the scientific journal Bioscience on Tuesday, exactly 40 years after the First World Climate Conference was held in Geneva.</p>
<p>At that conference, scientists from 50 nations agreed that alarming trends tied to climate change required urgent action, and since then, similar warnings have been made at the 1992 Rio Summit, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement, according to the article, which claims that the world has conducted "business as usual" since then and has largely failed to address the issue.</p>
<p>Despite the explicit warnings, greenhouse gas emissions are still "rapidly rising" and continuing to damage the climate at increasing rates, according to the article.</p>
<p>"Troubling" human activities that contribute to Earth's rising temperature include sustained increases in both human and ruminant livestock population, per-capita meat production, the world's gross domestic product, global tree cover loss, fossil fuel consumption, the number of people traveling via air transportation and carbon dioxide emissions, the article states.</p>
<p>The impacts from the rising global surface temperatures include rapidly disappearing ice, such as Arctic sea ice, ice sheets in Greenland and the Antarctic and the thickness of glaciers worldwide. Rising sea levels, the ocean's heat content and acidity, the amount of area burned in the U.S. and extreme weather and the costs associated with it are also "disturbing" trends seen from rising temperatures, according to the article.</p>
<p>What the scientists find "especially worrisome" is a potentially irreversible climate tipping point that could lead to a catastrophic "hothouse Earth," beyond the control of humans.</p>
<p>"These issues highlight the urgent need for action," the article states.</p>
<p>However, some "encouraging signs" of progress include decreases in global birth rates, decelerated deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, increases in the consumption of solar and wind power, institutional fossil fuel divestment of more than $7 trillion and the proportion of greenhouse gas emissions covered by carbon pricing, according to the article.</p>
<p>To create the changes necessary, the scientists recommend:</p>
<p>• Implementing massive energy efficiency and conservation practices to replace fossil fuels with low-carbon renewables.</p>
<p>• Promptly reducing emissions of short-term pollutants, such as methane and black carbon.</p>
<p>• Protecting and restoring Earth's ecosystems.</p>
<p>• Eating mostly plant-based foods while reducing the global consumption of animal products while also drastically reducing the "enormous" amount of food waste around the world.</p>
<p>• Curtailing the excessive extraction of materials and overexploitation of ecosystems driven by economic growth.</p>
<p>• Stabilizing, and, ideally, gradually reducing population growth "within a time frame that ensures social integrity."</b></p>
<p>Will 11,000 do?</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;He’s getting terrified about being impeached &lt;/I&gt;

The facts clearly indicate that it&#039;s DEMOCRATS who are terrified of impeachment.

What else explains Pelosi&#039;s bone head play not to send over the Articles of Impeachment?</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;*** IRAN RETALIATES ****

&#039;Iran&#039; launches cyber-attack on US government website warning &#039;we&#039;re always ready&#039;

A group claiming to be working on behalf of the Iranian government has hacked a US government website where they plastered sinister warnings

Hackers who claim to be working for the Iranian government have hacked a US government website in a &quot;revenge&quot; attack.

In a brutal take-down of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) the hackers warned this first move was “only a small part of Iran’s cyber ability”.

The hackers posted: &quot;This is message from the Islamic Republic of Iran.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/breaking-iran-launches-cyber-attack-21216337

OH MY GODS!!!

What EVER will Americans do without the FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARY PROGRAM!!!

&lt;B&gt;&quot;Oh my god, what a fucking nightmare!!!&quot;&lt;/B&gt;
-Marisa Tomeii, MY COUSIN VINNY

Ya&#039;all look pretty silly and ridiculous right now with all your bullshit fear mongering..  :D

Iran won&#039;t escalate things because they know that, unlike that wimp candy-ass Obama, President Trump is MORE than willing to take it to the next level and inflict more massive pain than Iran could EVER hope to inflict on the US..</description>

In other words, you concede that NO SCIENTIST has claimed that humans have caused the planet&#039;s climate to change..

I accept your concession..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Obama was telling Putin that if he held off until after the election was over, Obama would agree to whatever they were discussing. Obama didn’t not need Putin to do anything to help him win his election,&lt;/I&gt;

Yes, Putin DID need to do something.

According to Odumbo, Putin needed to give Obama space..

And, as YA&#039;ALL define it, space is &quot;something of value&quot; that Odumbo needed..

&lt;I&gt;How sad for you that Obama was still working on behalf of our country when he said this;&lt;/I&gt;

Nope.. Odumbo was working for his re-election..

JUST LIKE you accuse President Trump of doing.

Once again.. Ya&#039;all make accusations against President Trump that DEMOCRATS are guilty of..

&lt;I&gt;They are reporting how Trump was running around Mar-Lard-Ass telling everyone that “something big was gonna happen soon” the day before the assassination of the Iranian general. He’s getting terrified about being impeached and facing criminal prosecution and he probably thinks a war with Iran will cause the public to say that we cannot get rid of him in the time of war..&lt;/I&gt;

Facts to support??

None??  Of course not..

Why do you insist on spewing bullshit when you KNOW I will expose all your lies??</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;Why wasn&#039;t Donald Trump a moron when he had a -D after his name?

He was. Even the NY press understand why he kept the &#039;D&#039; after his name. Money.&lt;/I&gt;

And another bullshit lie that you have NO FACTS to support..

Jesse Jackson honored Trump...  Hillary and Bubba LOVED Trump..

That facts are against ya, my friend..

&lt;I&gt;Wha... Glaciers aren&#039;t melting, sea levels aren&#039;t rising?&lt;/I&gt;

Not according to the predictions and models..

&lt;I&gt;You&#039;re not looking. I think the latest ratio is 100:1 in favor of us cutting it out yesterday.&lt;/I&gt;

Then it should be easy to find me a SINGLE real scientist who says that humans have caused the planet&#039;s climate to change..

Go ahead.. Find me that scientist.. I&#039;ll be around...

		<description>@JM from CT

&lt;I&gt; Trump may be a moron, but one advantage he has is that his second-grade vocabulary scores a home run with very, very many people who hate that they don&#039;t really understand what most politicians are saying.&lt;/I&gt;

See, this is a perfect example of bigotry..

		<description>&lt;i&gt;It&#039;s as ludicrous to say humans can control the planet&#039;s climate as it is to say that humans CAUSED the planet&#039;s climate to change..&lt;/i&gt;

Your argument defies both science and common sense.

For the science part, an ever-growing number of scientists have proven that it&#039;s man-made. Years ago. The good news is, that it&#039;s seen now as a win-win for those countries that really do it (weren&#039;t you cheering for energy independance yesterday?).

As for the common-sense part, just look at what&#039;s happened to gas consumption today. It&#039;s not only possible, it&#039;s probable.  Even with Trump in charge.</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;That&#039;s just ludicrous, which I&#039;ve pointed out several times before. &lt;/I&gt;

Yea.. ya&#039;all keep making that claim.. But you have ZERO facts to back it up..

Whereas I have Obama&#039;s own words..

&lt;I&gt;I suppose that now I&#039;m gonna have to dig it all out AGAIN.&lt;/I&gt;

Yea, cuz that worked out so well the last time, eh? :D

Face reality..

Obama&#039;s own words are blatant, obvious and totally unambiguous..

Obama asked Putin for help to win his (Obama&#039;s) election...

In return, Obama promised Putin &quot;flexibility&quot; once Obama won his election..

Obama DELIVERED on that promise in The Crimea, the East European Missile Defense Shield...

These are the facts that are simple undeniable..</description>

That is the FACTUAL account of what happened.&lt;/i&gt;

That&#039;s just ludicrous, which I&#039;ve pointed out several times before. This time it has an innovation that assumes a quid pro quo, so you&#039;re gonna start the year with an unstoppable lie.
I suppose that now I&#039;m gonna have to dig it all out AGAIN.</description>

<p>That's just ludicrous, which I've pointed out several times before. This time it has an innovation that assumes a quid pro quo, so you're gonna start the year with an unstoppable lie.<br />
I suppose that now I'm gonna have to dig it all out AGAIN.</p>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;“Control” and “cause” are two very different things.&lt;/I&gt;

It&#039;s as ludicrous to say humans can control the planet&#039;s climate as it is to say that humans CAUSED the planet&#039;s climate to change..

Both claims illustrate the utter ignorance and arrogance of the Global Warming fanatics..</description>

		<description>From a previous commentary..

&lt;I&gt;I&#039;m no great lover of Obama, but the accusation you&#039;re making is ludicrous and entirely disconnected from the facts. &lt;/I&gt;

Except that it&#039;s not..

Obama asked Putin (Via Mendedev) for Putin to give Obama space (something of value) so that Obama could win his election..

In return, Obama promised to be flexible for Putin after he (Obama) won the election..

That is the FACTUAL account of what happened.

And that is EXACTLY what ya&#039;all are accusing President Trump of..

Of course, there are no facts to PROVE it in President Trump&#039;s case, which is why it&#039;s not one of the charges in democrat&#039;s faux impeachment coup..

&lt;I&gt;answer: even in this unlikeliest of scenarios, putin is being paid nothing to do nothing. &lt;/I&gt;

And, once again, yer wrong..

Putin was &quot;paid&quot; with flexibility.. 

Flexibility in the The Crimea..

Flexibility with Eastern Europe missile defense shield..

Now, if you want to make the claim that &quot;No Pay = No Crime&quot; then President Trump didn&#039;t do anything wrong because he didn&#039;t get any &quot;pay&quot; from Zelensky..

&lt;I&gt;obama asked for nothing to be done and offered to do nothing in return.&lt;/I&gt;

Simply NOT factually accurate..

Obama asked for &quot;space&quot; which is, by ya&#039;all&#039;s own definition, a thing of value..

Obama offered &quot;flexibility&quot; after Obama won his election..

And PAID UP on that promise in The Crimea and the East Europe Missile Defense Shield..

&lt;I&gt;but... but... but... that&#039;s different? of course it&#039;s different. one is an offer of nothing for nothing, and couldn&#039;t possibly be proven. &lt;/I&gt;

And yet, it IS proven beyond ANY doubt with Obama&#039;s hot mic confession...

&lt;I&gt;the other is an offer of something for something, and is proven beyond any shadow of a doubt.&lt;/I&gt;

And yet, President Trump was not charged with that &quot;crime&quot;...

And the mealy-mouthed Article Of Impeachment that Pelosi DID pull out of her ass???  She is too afraid to send it to the Senate..

You can&#039;t win here, JL..

I have all the facts and all of the reality on my side..</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Stop saying Biden is the &#039;most electable&#039;. Trump will run rings round him

Did we learn nothing from 2016? Trump is savagely effective at destroying establishment politicians – and Biden would lose

Supporters of Joe Biden are unlikely to be persuaded by most of the common criticisms. They know he can be rambling and unintelligible. They know his record is unimpressive and that he doesn’t really have “policy proposals”. None of this matters, though, because to them he has the most important quality of all: he can beat Donald Trump. Nothing you can say about the former vice-president’s record, platform or mental state matters next to the argument that he is the best hope Democrats have of getting Trump out of office.

There’s just one problem: it’s a myth. It is a myth just as it was a myth that Hillary Clinton was a good candidate against Trump. Biden is not, in fact, the pragmatic choice. He would not beat Trump. He would lose. And we must say this over and over again. Forget his flubs. Forget his finger-nibbling. Biden would be crushed by Trump. If you want Trump out of office, don’t support Biden.&lt;/B&gt;
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jan/04/joe-biden-electable-trump-2020-election

It&#039;s sad in a way..

Joe Biden&#039;s legacy will be he was a thrice time luser as a presidential candidate..  

That is what he is going to be remembered as.. :(

All his previous accomplishments (and there are many) will be forgotten.. 

And that&#039;s just sad..</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;“Control” and “cause” are two very different things.&lt;/I&gt;

Semantics...

The simple fact is this..

YOU claim that Humans have caused the climate to warm..

YOU claim that Humans should take action to to cool the climate..

THAT is control..

Humans cannot control the planet&#039;s climate.

You and I BOTH agree on that point.

So, quit whining and bitching about the changing climate..

The planet&#039;s climate is going to change regardless of what ignorant and arrogant humans (such as yerself) do or say..</description>

		<description>Michale,

Once again, you are responding to statements that differ from what I actually said.

&lt;I&gt;Ya&#039;all thinking that humans can actually &lt;b&gt;CONTROL &lt;/b&gt;the planet&#039;s climate??

That&#039;s nothing but ignorant arrogance..&lt;/i&gt;

Notice the word “CONTROL” in bold....

I responded to your statement with:
&lt;I&gt;
Let’s see... how many people have made that claim on here....hmmmmmm...carry the three.....a GRAND TOTAL OF ZERO! &lt;/I&gt;

You replied that I was incorrect and I assume  you were offering this as your proof:

&lt;I&gt;As usual, you are factually full of kaa-kaa

&quot;Man &lt;b&gt;causes &lt;/b&gt;climate change&quot;
-JM&lt;/i&gt;

“Control” and “cause” are two very different things.   

You, as usual, are wrong!</description>

		<description>&lt;I&gt;When the GOP decided to simplify things by just opposing everything the Democrats supported, it was because they knew their base would rather fight against Democrats than to work with them. &lt;/I&gt;

Once again, you accuse the GOP of doing exactly what Democrats have done for the last 3 years..</description>
