Flaming much? You've got nothing.

One has to be remarkably ignorant of history to to blame immigrants on the poor economic conditions of their country of birth. America is a nation of immigrants who mostly went there because the economies of their country was in poor shape. Are you claiming that these immigrants ruined the American economy?

Whatever case you might have had, and what evidence you did provide shows how poorly you understand the documents case against Trump, this paragraph of yours clearly indicates why your comments are laughable. Unless, of course, you can prove evidence that the election really was stolen from Trump.

For those of you who may be puzzled by Wrwest's comments in a thread about a warming North Atlantic, here's a summary of the movie I believe he's referring to: "The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 American science fiction disaster film[2] conceived, co-written, directed, co-produced by Roland Emmerich, based on the 1999 book The Coming Global Superstorm by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber, and starring Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sela Ward, Emmy Rossum, and Ian Holm. The film depicts catastrophic climatic effects following the disruption of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation, in which a series of extreme weather events usher in climate change and lead to a new ice age.[3][4]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After_Tomorrow

When I was a kid I thought that a great retort was "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you." Apparently, some of us haven't outgrown that kind of thinking.

Do you believe that in a threat entitled "The prospect of a second Trump presidency has the intelligence community on edge", members should not be mentioning him? Got any other ridiculous observations to share with us?

If it is a problem, it's one created by the Republicans who subpoenaed him to do just that. What's worse, if past is prologue, he'll succeed in refuting their nonsense, too.

Why focus only on their crimes? What about the crimes by authorized aliens that have actually happened?

So far you've posted only irrelevancies and personal comments. I have no idea what you mean by me turning my head away. Certainly not from the stuff you've posted here.

And would the murders have happened from authorized aliens if no aliens were authorized to be in the country?

Since you've got nothing substantive to answer with, you make it personal. You've still got nothing.

Nor would crimes by authorized aliens have occurred if Biden had barred them from entry. What's your point?

Have you any more irrelevant comments to add?

What are you planning to say to the families of the proportionately more numerous Americans killed by the native born? You've still got nothing.

The issue isn't whether it was sarcasm; but, rather, what was the target of the sarcasm.

It looks like Big Brother has a little sister.

He wasn't fired. Along with a lot of other officials from the Trump administration, Biden asked him to step down. This is not unusual when a new administration takes office. And what does it matter if he is rich or not. It the implications for public policy. What kind of medical system is it where treatment for dehydration can cost $5000? And the US has a terrible healthcare performance compared to other advanced economies. It costs more and the results are mostly worse. Except if you're wealthy. If money is no object, then it's great.

But there's a lot lot less of it among where it counts: actual elected officials. Keep in mind that almost 3/4 of Republican House members voted not to approve of the 2020 election results.

As far as Kushner goes, it's even worse. While he was still the Mideast Czar, his family got a huge bailout via at least in part thanks to Qatar from a disastrous investment that Kushner made. Qatar was involved in intensive negotiations with Kushner to help get Saudi Arabia off its back. The only reason we even know of this is that NY law mandates that certain investors involvement has to be made public. The terms of the investment made zero sense for the investors. Except, of course, if it could win them important favors elsewhere.

'Former US Surgeon General Jerome Adams said he got a $5,000 bill for a recent ER visit. He said he was fighting the bill, which had been "mentally taxing." His experience highlights big problems with US healthcare, including high costs and no transparency. https://news.yahoo.com/former-us-surgeon-general-says-202911840.html

Thanks for the explanation. But, don't think that the oceans are actually releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. Certainly not on balance. Rather the uptake of CO2 is being slowed. Unlike oxygen, CO2 constitutes a double hex. Elevated levels of carbonic acid in the water lead to all sorts of dire consequences thanks to the lowered PH. Among other things, it inhibits mollusks, corals, foraminifera and other sea creatures from making shells. The level of Carbonic acid in the sea is still rising but at a somewhat lowered pace as the oceans get warmer. So the lessened uptake keeps more CO2 in the atmosphere than would otherwise be the case.

Between the ages of 3 and 58, president Donald Trump inherited at least $413 million from his father’s business empire using some potentially fraudulent tax-dodging methods, a blockbuster New York Times investigation shows. The last tranche came in 2004—years after his father, Fred, died—when Trump and his siblings sold off their father’s empire. The deal seems to have been done in a rush, and they offloaded the building for hundreds of millions less than it was worth, the Times reports. Nonetheless, Donald picked up $177.3 million, or $236.2 million at today’s rates, the Times reports. https://qz.com/1411006/trumps-413-million-inheritance-doesnt-explain-his-mysterious-cash-spending And keep in mind that in current dollars that would amount to a lot more. Once Trump's father was out of the scene, Trump repeatedly got out-negotiated and paid way too much for businesses and asset he acquired. With the result that... TRUMP WENT BROKE, BUT STAYED ON TOP https://archive.ph/wWo9N https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1992/11/29/trump-went-broke-but-stayed-on-top/e1685555-1de7-400c-99a8-9cd9c0bca9fe/ Basically, Trump exploited the dismal state of bankruptcy law to retain much of his fortune.

Nothing you've cited has any bearing on whether undocumented aliens commit proportionately more crimes of violence than do authorized immigrants or native-born Americans. As for crime in red sections of the USA In Rural America, Violent Crime Reaches Highest Level in a Decade The loss of jobs and the opioid epidemic are two of the biggest reasons. https://www.governing.com/archive/gov-crime-rural-urban-cities.html

So, since you've got no sensible answer, you try to make it personal instead. You've got nothing.

Underlying psychological traits could explain why political satire tends to be liberal The need for cognition — a psychological term used to describe the enjoyment of thinking and analyzing problems — could help explain the differences in humor appreciation between liberals and conservatives. According to new research in Psychology of Popular Media Culture, political conservatives tend to score lower on a measure of need for cognition, which is related to their lack of appreciation for irony and exaggeration. “Having studied the content, effects, and psychological processing of political humor and satire for 20 years, I could never escape the question of why political satire tends to be liberal,” said study author Dannagal G. Young, an associate professor at the University of Delaware and author of the forthcoming book Irony and Outrage: The Polarized Landscape of Rage, Fear, and Laughter in the United States. https://www.psypost.org/underlying-psychological-traits-could-explain-why-political-satire-tends-to-be-liberal/
