The map here shows “the sea surface temperature anomaly on Sunday, June 18. Temperatures off the coast of the UK and Ireland are several degrees higher than usual.”
My colleague Joe Spease notes: Trump, Republicans, and other climate change deniers are destroying the future of our children.
Yes, Joe, that’s true, but they’re making a lot of money in the process. For some people, that’s all that matters.
If you think the main issue with Trump is that he’s too “divisive” and/or “controversial,” you, my friend, are part of the problem.
Re-installing a traitorous, career criminal in the White House will bring this country to its knees.
The only thing I know about the book here is the word “Worlds” in its title needs an apostrophe.
This doesn’t make a good first impression.
For the life of me, I cannot understand the appeal that Trumpism has on tens of millions of American voters.
People who accept the idea that there are no benefits to providing free meals to poor kids need to believe either that a) hunger is not an impediment to learning, or b) there is no value in educating poor children.
That level of stupidity and hate is hard to imagine.
To Mike Madrid: I like the cut of your jib. This is precisely what I expect.
I’m predicting something not unlike what happened in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. Not only did the persecution of witches stop abruptly, it ceased for no apparent reason, and a year later, some people in the town had forgotten that it ever existed.
Here’s something from the Chris Christie campaign:
If you can be convinced that anything about these people’s claims is true, by all means, jump in with both feet.
One such claim is that they generate some energy at wind speeds that are lower than those that activate conventional turbines. That happens to be false, but even if it were true, would it matter, when the power generated from wind is proportional to the cube of its velocity?
Wind speeds of 20 MPH generate 8000 times more power than speeds of 1 MPH. Could it possibly matter what happens in nearly calm air?
Again, if you have no understanding of high school physics, this could be the deal you’ve been waiting for. Eventually, its proponents are going to prison, and you’re going to lose your investment. Which one will happen first remains to be seen.
I fully detest the Republican party, but I disagree that it can’t be reformed; in fact, I don’t see any scenario in which it won’t be.
Who knows what will work for the GOP, but it’s certain what is bound for failure: racism, homophobia, the rejection of science, the proliferation of assault weapons, support for Russia in Ukraine, and bans of books and abortion are chief among them. It’s true that there are deep red states that eat this garbage up with a spoon, but all these platforms are extremely unpopular with the vast majority of Americans.
So what happens when the Republicans get annihilated in 2024 because decent, educated Americans revile them and vote accordingly? Reform is the only answer. Find a way to add real value to voters’ lives.
A great deal can happen between now and the time the Democratic National Convention gets underway next summer. In particular, Biden’s advancing years may cause him to do something that renders him nonviable as his party’s candidate for the 2024 presidential run.
Having said that, he’s doing so much for the common American on a great number of different fronts that it’s hard to imagine that he won’t have the support of women, racial and religious minorities, parents of school kids, LGBTQs, as well as most blue-collar workers.
Inflation is coming down, and the job market is exploding.
That’s ignoring the fact that Trump’s backing is slowly evaporating as the federal and state justice system brings him ever closer to prison.
OK, now let’s multiply that by ~50 million Trump supporters, and see what that does to our security.
