  1. So how would those checks and balances work, say, if the President had Senators who opposed him murdered?
  2. Clearly, you don't understand what "primary driver" signifies. In this case it means that global warming is the ultimate source of this anomalous rise in temperature. But there are intermediate processes not yet fully understood that have led to the current situation.
  3. The narcisstic mouth pointed out that the "evidence" offered or claimed to exist by the Republicans has repeatedly been discredited or has evaporated. If CNN is a disinformation channel, then you should definitely report that to the mods.
  4. Also, the lower the CO2 retaining capacity. A dramatic example of this is what happens when someone opens a can of warm soda.
  5. I'm not sure how much your observation has to do with thinking. At least with rational thinking. Like so many other denialists, you don't seem able to distinguish between climate and weather.
  6. You asked how I judged your political stance. I cited this post of yours as as further evidence. Nowhere did I liken you to Joe Biden. That was your own weird take on my post.
  7. New Research on Illegal Immigration and Crime Like our other research on illegal immigration and crime in Texas, this working paper uses data collected by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those arrested and convicted of crimes in Texas. As far as we’ve been able to tell, and we’ve filed more than 50 state FOIA requests to confirm, Texas is the only state that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those entering the criminal justice system... In 2018, the illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 782 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native‐born Americans. https://www.cato.org/blog/new-research-illegal-immigration-crime-0
  8. The problem with the polls showing the under 35 support for Trump is that they were based on the number of voters in the crosstabs of the polls. So a poll that may have started out with 1000 people ended up withn 238 voters under the age of 35. That's a noisy poll. Also, it's still a long way out and people only start focusing on the elections after the conventions. I wonder what conclusions those younger voters will draw when when see videos of Trump repeatedly claiming credit for overthrowing Roe v. Wade. As for whinging daily for 4 years...if they do, they will only be following the example of Trump supporters who have been whimpering about the 2020 election for over three years already.
  9. Also, the dairy industry How undocumented immigrants became the backbone of dairies — and how to keep the milk flowing in America’s Dairyland Farmers, experts say reliance on immigrant workers, many of them in the U.S. illegally, will continue unless dairies — and Congress — make significant changes https://wisconsinwatch.org/2017/10/how-undocumented-immigrants-became-the-backbone-of-dairies-and-how-to-keep-the-milk-flowing-in-americas-dairyland/ U.S. Dairy Industry’s Economic Impact Totals $753 Billion https://www.idfa.org/news/u-s-dairy-industrys-economic-impact-totals-753-billion
  10. I suspect that most of the people posting here are expats.
  11. Have I maligned you? If you don't believe that Trump was robbed of his legitimate victory in the 2020 election, then you have my sincere apology. Of course, that doesn't have any relevance to the multitude of the deluded who still cling to that belief.
  12. Last time Trump didn't start with many extreme right wingers including Christian Nationalists.
  13. Well, given that the lack of valid evidence never stopped you people in the past, I don't see why the lack of it would in the future.
  14. If you had no history of posting here you might have a better case.
  15. Maybe Trump plans to abolish the FBI and replace it with the KGB? Trump sides with Russia against FBI at Helsinki summit US President Donald Trump has defended Russia over claims of interference in the 2016 presidential election. After face-to-face talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Trump contradicted US intelligence agencies and said there had been no reason for Russia to meddle in the vote. Mr Putin reiterated that Russia had never interfered in US affairs. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-44852812
  16. But they cite actual data to support the case. Whereas you just cite your impressions and given your political orientation, there's nothing surprising in either what your impressions are or the conclusions you draw from them.
  17. Well, for you it's a no lose situation., Even if the official count declares Trump the loser, you and your fellow Trumpistas will claim that he really won.
  18. I would call those comments frank. They were about what you wrote. For a comment to qualify as rude, I think it would have to be personal. Of course, if you take comments about what you write personally, there's nothing I can do about that.
  19. Well, somebody in this is easily fooled. And/or delusional.
  20. That argument was already rebutted not only by the Inspector General of the Justice Dept, but also by John Durham, who was appointed to reinvestigate the issue because William Barr was dissatisfied with the AG's conclusion about the role that political prejudice played in the original investigation.
  21. Why did you choose these 3 particular governments? What are your criteria?
  22. The source of the power is utterly irrelevant to that issue of grid capacity. Did you not read that there are already sources in place waiting to hook up to the grid? From the article: "Last year, a study from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory called “Queued Up” revealed that at the end of 2022, more than 10,000 power plant and energy storage projects (95% were zero-carbon resources) were waiting for permits to connect to the grid. That’s enough additional capacity to double the country’s electricity output, mostly from clean energy."
