2020 Election
Quote: RogerKintIf a stupid person can become president maybe too many stupid people are able to vote?
I don’t believe Donald Trump is stupid.
Quote: gamerfreakI don’t believe Donald Trump is stupid.
He's not stupid. He's just very Politically Incorrect, a loud mouth, arrogant, hot headed, impulsive, money oriented, rash, misogynist, ignorant(The wall thing is what I am talking about), selfish, a Donkey,(I use Donkey for the word that I really want to use, that starts with an A, ;). But definitely not stupid.
World governments came together to ban CFCs, the chemical responsible for destroying the ozone layer. Its scientific basis was well understood and alternative s became available. The end results today is an ozone layer that is slow!y rebuilding. This cannot be disputed. Government actions, coordinated to save the planet.
World governments have tried finding together to reduce carbon emissions, the molecule mainly responsible for the increases in California wildfires, more extreme weather conditions, rising sea levels, reduced polar ice, dead zones in coral reefs, species deduction, tree insect diseases, and so on and so forth. Its scientific basis is well understood and established and alternatives in the forms of electric cars, alternative fuels, carbon sinks, ocean grasses, trees, solar. Wind , geothermal to reduce carbon is coming together. By acting now we can return temperatures back to normal and begin to reduce the effects that climate change has had so far.
The fact is that every single argument against the existence of human caused climate change has been refuted. The last five years have been the hottest on record, when doing nothing has cost tens of billions just in the case of the 2018 wildfires alone.

And math quiz. If climate changes were truly random on an annual basis, what's more likely? Me winning Powerball on one ticket, or the Earth having it's 5 warmest years on record (since 1880) the last 5 years in row? Like you quoted, we had the latter event happen...
But yeah, global warming is a "hoax" or whatever...smh

Her voters are not stupid per se. They are 'takers', and have elected a representative that supports their goals. Have the top few percent pay all the taxes. Free healthcare. Free college. Free food. Free shelter. Their goals may be against yours. You may want people to work for a living. Make choices to better yourself. Have individual responsibility. Her supporters just want 'the government' to take from you and me to give to them. It's really quite clear.

Her agenda is very clear and I can't believe anyone who goes out and works hard to earn a living actually supports how far she wants to take things. I understand wanting to fix some things and having differing opinions on how to do it, but the math of how she wants to do those things doesn't add up to success of her plans in any way. The very rich will find ways to protect their money and her high taxes will trickle down to encompass everyone who works.
Democrat candidates are trying to "out Left" each other, we will see how far they go and how they re-center for the general election.

God forbid we tax income over $10 million at 70%. How will they survive?!
Quote: ams288God forbid we tax income over $10 million at 70%. How will they survive?!
Taxing "those people" at that rate would bring in nowhere near the amount of taxpayer funding that is needed to support the things the Left is talking about.
Not many (if any) people in that earning range get W-2 forms for the larger portions of their income and they have the best lawyers, investment professionals, and accountants available to them. They will protect as much income as possible from taxes, just as most of us try to do. There isn't as much money to take from them as the left would make you think.
Tax rates going up will trickle down to much lower levels than the dastardly millionaires.
Quote: RonCTaxing "those people" at that rate would bring in nowhere near the amount of taxpayer funding that is needed to support the things the Left is talking about.
No one has made the claim that that alone would fund anything. It's just a good place to start.
Quote: RogerKintTring, I don't even know how someone with your skin tone is still alive rn cause I'm pretty sure all the aerosol products have burned off the ozone layer by now ;)
Well i'm gonna be one of the first to go from things like that, that's for sure. In Vegas, I slather on sunscreen for any significant non-winter outdoor time. It's annoying, but better than sunburn.

I'd write NASA a fat check if I believed our all-knowing human gods in government could keep you and gamerfreak from being burned alive by that pesky sun of ours ;)
Forget the ISS. What we really need is an International SHADE Station.

Quote: gamerfreakThe weather at any particular moment has nothing to do with the global climate increase that is melting the polar ice caps and leading to sea levels rising.
The US is doing more than any other nation to reduce Co2 emmissions.
Lowest US per capita carbon emissions since 1950.
US Co2 levels are lowest since 1992.
US Co2 emissions are falling, while the rest of the world is increasing theirs.
2017
USA -0.5%
Europe +1.5%
China +1.6%
India +4.4%
Together, China and India accounted for nearly half of the increase in global carbon emissions, and they have no intentions of reducing theirs.
On the plus side:
Co2 fertilization is greening the Earth, and arable land is growing in size.
Growing seasons are getting longer.
Canada
Alaska
In the end, the same tax craving politicians that turned marijuana into a health food in order to tax it, will use their MSM propaganda machine to convince people into believing a carbon tax is good for them. Another way for the dems to separate you from more of your stuff.

I am not proposing a specific tax or solution. I also think carbon credits/taxes are stupid.
All I am saying is the claim that Global Warming is a liberal conspiracy without any evidence to back that up is asinine.

I hope the republicans stay against MJ
Republicans in Florida see the overwhelming support
71% in FL supported medical MJ
Desantis is not stupid, being against MJ is stupid politically
Just as with appropriating for the increased border wall, the aim of the 70% tax would basically be to punish people who have more than the advocates. And neither position serves any constructive national purpose. The sin of envy raises its ugly specter like few others.Quote: ams288No one has made the claim that that alone would fund anything.

Envy might make sense if it was about everyone living in mansions afterwards instead of lifting of some basic standards for many.

Since they legalized it in Colorado:
Sharp Rise in Car Crashes
Marijuana Related ER Visits by Teens on the Rise
Marijuana Related Traffic Deaths up 151%
Colorado Traffic Deaths Reach Highest Level in a Decade
Marijuana Use by Colorado Teens is 56% Higher Than the National Average
On top of that, it lowers sperm count and can give you 'man boobs'.

Do you think the same things happened when prohibition was finally lifted? I don't know about man boobs with alcohol. Though you might mistake a gorilla for an attractive person when drunk enough at a bar.

The reasoning is on the actual suspension list itself.

Source is British Petroleum. Enough said.
different source, US CO2 emissions up 3.4% in 2018.
So not anymore. Thank you, MAGA.

The EPA and your Rhodium Group reported slightly better Co2 decreases for 2017 than the BP report.
No worries about increasing Co2 numbers in 2018. That would be due to the strong economy.
With the nut jobs currently turning Congress into a zoo, it shouldn't take long for the dems to fix that.
Quote: terapinedTrump supporter gets violent at rally attacking the BBC cameraman
Looks like security did a great job.
The alleged attacker got the boot and, if there was physical contact with the BBC people, they should file charges. No time for that crap.
The protesters were removed.
He claimed there were 35,000 there last night and that Beto only had a couple hundred. lol
And before some righties respond, “Who cares?!” I’ll tell ya who cares: DONALD.

Trump will probably offer to foot the bill for the jerk.

Sooooooo....you are saying the numbers are wrong or reversed?
Quote: jackmagic777No Need Beto already paid him for services rendered. Beto will be reimbursed by DNC.
So what you're saying is that you have nothing to say.

Do you believe that the President should declare a "National Emergency" to prohibit the importation of rough diamonds from Sierra Leone?
