Ummm... it was 1992 when Bush Sr called Gore "ozone man." That's 14 years before "An Inconvenient Truth."

As a public service for those just joining the thread, Sally thinks Trump is a horrible person and Iggy thinks politics is corrupt across parties. This might not be clear from "Biden is going down!" as a reaction to alleged impending impeachment proceedings against Trump.
I think it is pretty clear our politicians have been self-serving and have done little to address real problems, so the daily drama continues. Warren will be good for the country exposing corporate corruption just as Trump has exposed the Deep State. Hopefully someday we will get to a sensible middle; probably need a crisis to get there though. That is coming in my view; mismanagement and can kicking to last too much longer.

I have listened to Hillary, Bush, Reagan, Obama and Trump to know much about them. Trump is very different and not in a good way. He has been the most active in trying not only to disenfranchise the press but to actually severely limit it's ability to performed its constitutionally allowed duties.
Trump is the most dangerous person out of this group as far as diminishing our Democratic freedoms. I seem him as a threat to our American values.
His attack on our ability to receive information combined with his populist appeal, make him dangerous. The only mitigating factors making him less dangerous are that he is impulsive and lazy. Fortunately he is no Putin.
Has he been successful in limiting the press?

Sally - are you aware that Biden wanted the prosecutor fired because the prosecutor WASN'T BEING TOUGH ENOUGH?
This whole idea that Biden was protecting his kid is stupid. Biden wanted more prosecution, not less. That's why he and the Europeans wanted this prosecutor gone.
Geez.
Biden is not toast.
This seems to strongly contradict your assertions, Agip. Biden IS toast if the media is fair-handed.

Being environmentally friendly was always a non-partisan issue until Al Gore made 'An Inconvenient Truth'.
He did not speak in partisan terms but the fact that he was a Democratic presidential nominee made Republicans think fighting Global Warming was an issue for them to be against.
Actually, the fossil fuel companies are the ones who made it a partisan issue.
They funded the climate denier think tanks and spread misinformation when their own internal studies showed that their business model was destroying the planet.
And most of all, they bought the politicians.

In your defense it's normal to assume good faith in social interaction regardless of evidence to the contrary.
In any case depriving him of a response is probably the best option and I'm glad you've arrived there.

Trump will not win in 2020.
The Senate MIGHT NOT convict him. I predicted that it would, so I COULD be wrong abut that. Again, I admit when I am wrong every time without fail.
Trump will go to prison after he is out of office (unless he dies before he gets through the process, or there is criminal or space alien behavior that prevents it).
Mueller is still coming.
The clown is done.
You guaranteed that he would lose in 2016. You are guaranteeing he will win in 2020? This is comic genius on your part! LOL!
"Sigh"
So many words, so little substance.

"But Ukrainian officials tell me there was one crucial piece of information that Biden must have known but didn’t mention to his audience: The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Biden’s younger son, Hunter, as a board member."
well ok that is your point presumably, but that is one extraordinarily weak sourcing. 'ukrainian officals.'
Note that the same story says
"Shokin was facing steep criticism in Ukraine, and among some U.S. officials, for not bringing enough corruption prosecutions when he was fired."
which is exactly the truth and needs no anonymous generic sourcing because it is indisputable.
Ain't that the truth.
Flagpole, please list here your predictions that have come true:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
Oh ... my bad. I don't think ANY of your predictions have come to fruition. Ponder that fact and maybe take a vacation from here for a bit and think how you can better be towards women and to others. Please do that.

I never said we must invade Brazil. I said I'm afraid it might come to that. And I said, if Canada started dumping raw sewage into rivers that flow to the US, we would take military action if we had to. Brazil is no different.
And Greta is right about impending doom. I wish it were not so, but it is.
I made the mistake of looking closely at the science. I took the red pill. I know what most of you do not. I know it is time to panic and take action.
5) You gave a 100% guarantee that HRC would win. Then you moved the goalposts and claimed that you said it with some BS about Trump cheating. Show me the post where you gave limitations to your guarantee BEFORE the election. And don't come back here with some crap about no one can prove you guaranteed an HRC victory. Everyone over the past 3 years remembers your guarantee one way and no one remembers it with limitations. I'll wait for your "unreserved" apology.
Don't need "radical Democrats" to decide to impeach based on what we know.
1) Trump (AND Giuliani and maybe Pence) tried to get Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden for the purposes of his own personal gain to get dirt on Biden to improve his chances in the 2020 election.
2) Trump withheld $250 million in Congress-approve money to go to Ukraine.
3) Trump then called the President of Ukraine to talk about investigating Biden (reportedly brought it up 8 times) while that money was still being withheld.
Cut and dried. Collusion (Conspiracy), bribery, election law violation of some sort.
He will be impeached...as I have long said.

No. Sally isn't a troll. Sally is just ignorant. I banned Sally a long time ago...making only two exceptions since -- one when Sally actually did something right (I will make exceptions to tell someone they did WELL), and one (perhaps I shouldn't have) just because I though perhaps Sally had forgotten he was banned.
OK. I get it, save your reputation.
Just busting your chops.
However, a counter argument is this is a maneuver to save the Biden candidacy.
Either way it will expose the problems in our “democracy.”
You find no substance in the truth? (rhetorical, question)
I said Trump has ZERO chance to win, and I qualified it by saying he could not cheat and even used Olympic medalists as an example of winners stripped of medals after they had been discovered cheating. Letsrun removed that thread. I made that qualification...just not repeatedly like I did not ZERO chance thing. just because you didn't see it and/or don't remember it doesn't mean I didn't make that qualification. He cheated, so I was RIGHT about the 2016 election.
I would not ever say I didn't say that Hillary would win, because I tell the truth 100% of the time without fail...even though you have no evidence of it, I still tell the truth about it. That's because I have 100% integrity 100% of the time.
No apology tendered. No apology from me needed.

That's not what they are saying on Breitbart! So, it must be fake news!
I understand that scientists don't typically inspire others to act. I'm glad we all did with regard to lead and with regard to carcinogens and with regard to bad behaviors like smoking and excessive drinking. I don't react to emotional calls for action. I don't typically follow the lead of a teenager. Good for her as a one-off, but if she becomes the face of climate change, that won't be a good thing.
