  1. Just out of curiosity, do you think that the 2020 election was stolen too? Or is this your only venture into batsh*t conspiracy theorizing?
  2. First off, you're denying what you claimed earlier which was this: "if all these illegal immigrants are so industrious and hardworking, why are their own original countries so economically deprived? Why are such valuable assets able to leave their home countries so easily in the first place ?" So trying owning up to your falsehood instead of denying it. You may not see much value in what fast food delivery men offer society, but what about the people who plant and harvest America's produce, tend America's dairies, and staff its meat processing plants. And as for fast food delivery, delivery service has become crucial to large segments of the American restaurant industry which contributes close to 1 trillion dollars to American GDP. As for drug dealers, given the demand and economic opportunity, basic laws of supply and demand tell us there will no shortage of salespeople whether native or foreign born. Right. All those people working in jobs native born Americans won't do, are in the US to try and get on welfare.
  3. Here's a link to another article. He doesn't feature in it at all but other climatologists do. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/north-atlantic-el-nino-national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration-scientists-university-of-sussex-b2356711.html Here's a link to another https://www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/north-atlantic-temperature-anomaly-sparks-concern-among-climate-scientists/ and another https://www.lemonde.fr/en/environment/article/2024/02/01/ocean-temperatures-reach-impressive-and-worrying-record-levels_6485327_114.html
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. Why focus only on their crimes? What about the crimes by authorized aliens that have actually happened?
  11. 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.
  12. And would the murders have happened from authorized aliens if no aliens were authorized to be in the country?
  13. Since you've got nothing substantive to answer with, you make it personal. You've still got nothing.
  14. Nor would crimes by authorized aliens have occurred if Biden had barred them from entry. What's your point?
  15. Have you any more irrelevant comments to add?
  16. 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.
  17. The issue isn't whether it was sarcasm; but, rather, what was the target of the sarcasm.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
