You misunderstand my post. If both sides hate Biden, then it's maybe because he's trying to balance his policy with consideration of each side's case. He is pressuring Israel to avoid excessive Palestinian deaths while simultaneously supplying them the weapons to do so. This cannot possibly please both sides. It's a real moral and policy dilemma. There's no simple or easy response.

No, I don't recall seeing the sort of footage as is being presently shown every single night. I simply made an honest comment with no nefarious intent. And how about your lie saying I "challenged the idea that there were 400K-almost 600K killed by Assad". How in hell did you extract that from my post? Another one of your inferences? You are one of the most erratic, insulting - and lying - people on this forum and I have no reason to interact with your posts in the future.

"Daniels claims that she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, fully 10 years before the 2016 presidential election, which Trump denies." So what? When was the nondisclosure agreement executed? I'm not going to bother pick the rest of this pile of propaganda apart.

I appreciate you differentiate them.

Interesting that he's responding to "donors". Not saying it's any different from what Democratic hopefuls do, just that it's part of the indictment of our political system.

Yep. Far too many "closet" psychopaths for him to do that.

That sounds pretty much equivalent.

Well there's no doubt he is destined to become a historical touchstone. Not even Huey Long managed to get elected POTUS.

I'd twerk him.

Perhaps that indicates Biden is steering the only path that's reasonable given the circumstances.

Back to lying I see. Don't suppose you are any more inclined to specifically quote that "lie", are you?

I agreed with this statement earlier and still do: in summary, it is premature to conclude with high confidence that increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations from human activities have had a detectable impact on Atlantic basin hurricane activity, If you want to base your general denialism on that sort of confidence level regarding hurricanes, that's up to you. Personally, considering all of the evidence associated with every other significant parameters/consequences of AGW, I am willing to accept the fact - albeit at a lower confidence level - (which is what they are actually saying) that hurricane intensity is going up. This is due to the simple physics of the equation. More energy (heat) = stronger storms. And btw, you claim there is no data to support the statement "are all becoming more frequent and more intense". That's false. There most certainly is data, just not enough as yet to achieve "high confidence" (thus, "premature"). This is apparently what is tripping you up. Insufficient data to claim "high confidence" does not mean the statement is a "lie". They have data, which is why they make the statements they do. So, while it may be premature to attach a "high confidence" level of certainty now, I fully expect the statistics will accumulate to do so within say, the next 10 years? It takes a lot of time to measure effects on things which are relatively infrequent and are influenced by so many variables.) Of course, you are free to call it a "lie" even after those statistics are available. Apparently, the "truth" is a little more complicated than you - as a denier - care to acknowledge. We'll see. (Want to bet on it?)

It's amazing how many relatively easy solutions exist to fix our obviously broken political system.

Curious Salty, why do you think Stuart Stevens is funny?

Which is just as bad, IMO. I wish I had a nickle for every time I heard: "Well, I'm not racist, but......

Did you bother to read what he posted? "I’ll just leave this here. For the record I have been strongly against protestors trying to silence conservative speakers on campus (such as that event with Milo that went super viral)."

What does this mean - "falling for it"? I watch mainly PBS News Hour and they are not "falling for it". From their reporting, It's quite apparent what Hamas's strategy is. It's as old as guerrilla war. (Look up Mao's "fish quote".) I don't get your point.

In response to your post (my first mistake), I was proposing a possible reason it didn't spark widespread student protests in this country (to which you gave a "thumbs up"). Other than that, I have no f****** idea what your point is, nor do I care, "old man".

Yes, we (largely Britain) screwed it up, but it wasn't from incompetence, it was deliberate. That was the easiest way to keep the relative political power of any given, (oil rich) "country" from accumulating a critical mass of power. In the case of Iran, we even deposed a democratically elected leader with "our" authoritarian. And I like your last sentence.

Man, I really thought our society had gotten past the blatant denier stage. This is really not a good look for Auburn. Embarrassing

Back on Topic. This is a great interview with Stuart Stevens, a former (traditional) Republican consultant commenting on the current political status of the Republican Party:

First, it's not a "lie". Secondly, NASA and NOAA are in accord: NASA: As Earth's climate changes, it is impacting extreme weather across the planet. Record-breaking heat waves on land and in the ocean, drenching rains, severe floods, years-long droughts, extreme wildfires, and widespread flooding during hurricanes are all becoming more frequent and more intense. Extreme Weather and Climate Change - NASA Science NASA Science (.gov) https://science.nasa.gov › climate-change › extreme-weat... NOAA: (2022) report an increasing trend in hurricane intensification rates near the U.S. East Coast since 1979 and that external forcing in climate models produces similar, though much weaker, changes to hurricane environment metrics than those observed, which suggests a possible anthropogenic contribution. Global Warming and Hurricanes Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (.gov) https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/extreme-weather/ What does NASA need to "take up" with NOAA? They both are saying the same thing. The study you claim is proving your case doesn't. Apparently, you don't really understand it's conclusions. We can go over that again if you wish. Finally, your "more fertile world" scenario is hopelessly naive and ignorant of plant physiology.

Yeah, Trump does so well when he goes off script.

That's why they have staffs. The job outgrew one person long, long ago. The most important thing any modern president does is choose his staff.
