  1. It was demonstrated 150 years ago that increasing CO2 in the atmosphere would increase temperatures. We can accurately measure the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. Where's the problem here?
  2. Anybody who wants to do some fact checking. They aren't immune to getting called out either. In the end, consensus is always the truth if there are sufficient people from diverse sources doing the checking.
  3. Yeah., he's a lot like Biden, doesn't mince words and make innuendo, he just tells it like it is. Biden's 'soul of the nation' speech and the battle against MAGA 'semi-fascism' in America Reactionary conservatives like Fox News host Tucker Carlson have called on Biden to apologize. But a president's job is to speak aloud uncomfortable truths. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/biden-speech-last-night-called-trump-fascism-good-rcna46000
  4. A board of educators. Curricula are generally set by consensus among educators? No one person can ever decide what is truth and what is lies. That's why slogans like "fake news" are meaningless and fact checking is meaningful.
  5. Fascism is not liking elections. Trump hates 'em. He has said he liked Hitler and likes Putin. Biden not so much.
  6. I agree that Cory Booker would be a great pick. I like his style of straight speaking.
  7. Is not separating children forcibly from their parents and not keeping records of who they are or where they are human trafficking? When will Trump report to the gallows?
  8. Who exactly "referred criminal charges" and under what authority? Trump should be charged with transporting geriatric migrant women across the border for prostitution, IMOP. Can you see how this drivel works?
  9. What Biden corruption. I've never read a credible link laying out exactly what he has done that is corrupt. Can you help or just want o reiterate Biden derangement syndrome talking points?
  10. There will be a climate change denier along in a minute to tell us this is just part of a natural cycle.
  11. Letting 5,000 Taliban terrorists out of jail wasn't blotting any copybook? Might they have hastened the fall of the country into Taliban hands, do you think? Maybe that's why the US military misjudged the speed of the collapse? No? And how does any of that disqualify Biden for speaking out on UK failings? Should the UK send the heroi Afghan pilot who fought for the US to Rwanda? Is that OK for you? Your lot are so hung up on Biden that you can't see the woods for the trees.
  12. My point is that it's completely irrelevant whether Floyd was. hard worker or not. Would it make him less worthy and therefore mitigate against Chauvin's guilt if he wasn't?
  13. We could also discuss freeing Afghans who didn't assist the US but that would be off topic. Let's assume that the US has blotted its copybook in Afghanistan. Does that disqualify it from ever speaking out on any Afghan issues for evermore? Is their a sunset clause written in there anywhere? Oh, wait, was it only Biden who was disqualified?
  14. Ah, the old slippery slope canard. I've been swimming on top of Ayres Rock if that helps.
  15. Especially English speaking people. Mostly monolingual. It's surprising how many Thais do speak English well. I was at the gym tonight and chatted with a trainer who isn't my regular trainer. I'd only spoken to him a couple of times in Thai but it turns out he had lived and studied in the US and was mostly fluent. He never told me that himself, my trainer (who can't speak much English) did.
  16. Fulton county prosecutors prepare racketeering charges in Trump inquiry Exclusive: racketeering charges based on influencing witnesses and computer trespass, sources say https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/21/georgia-trump-charges-fraud-election-2020
  17. Several onlookers testified Tuesday about their increasing frustration, anger and despair as they begged Chauvin to take his knee off Floyd’s neck. Witnesses and video depicted police keeping back some of those on the sidewalk who tried to intervene. Chauvin appeared unmoved by their pleas, according to the bystanders, including the teenager who shot the video that set off nationwide protests. https://www.tampabay.com/news/nation-world/2021/03/31/prosecutors-detail-incident-that-led-to-george-floyds-arrest/
  18. The both sides mantra is getting boring. No he couldn't. No 3rd party candidate has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the presidency. Never has, never will and wouldn't control either house anyway.
