Word up brother... total despair with the commies out to get them and no orange savior

Oath Keeper Trumpers are also frightened that the FBI is following them around after calling Trump Fan Boys to arise at the Capitol at the inaguration fully armed and ready for action. ... Trumpers are spinless around other people bearing arms.

They made their own bed but no question trump and the GOP fanned the flames. Look at those insurrectionists, they all thought trump would rescue them from jail.

And while I think social media has done the right thing in blocking trump, they are also to blame for allowing the hate talk to fester on their platforms for all those years. We all knew trump was a criminal from day 1. They should have come up with a policy to address congress members, the POTUS and WH officials, while they brainstormed on a better solution. They all did well letting the traffic grow. They are complicit.

I'll be sure to get your permission next time.

Good idea.

Certainly. Although algorithms used to drive content to people using social media platforms are the main reason things have become so toxic. The cat is out the bag. There's no going back. So moving forward, something needs to be done to alter those algorithms so that people aren't trapped in their ever shrinking bubble.

You can see this happening on this thread. The poster who is the most divisive here also happens to be the biggest consumer of Twitter or similar platforms where they get caught in the algorithm's bubble of like-mindedness.

Same with a lot of POTUS followers: Trapped in the bubble of half-truths, opinions, and non-vetted information.

You are giving yourself away, Sally.

You disagree?

Hey! Has that "Individual 1" that you've been hiding from the last 10 years found you yet?

Did you check behind the fridge?

Maybe I'm hiding from someone too.

Should I change my handle every day like so he won't be on to me?

It's not obvious or anything. I'm sure whomever you are hiding from will never figure it out.

The FBI.

Yep.

There's some little jerk in the FBI keeping papers on me six feet high. It gets me down.

Marietta talks trash about me. You really think we are the same. Seriously?

Yup, 6" platform lifts.

Is your new wife African American, or an illegal alien?

I've read there needs to a 40% reduction in emissions to end global warming. Given that the U.S. contributes about 15%, Ocasio-Cortez's utopian dream of completely eliminating our emissions won't have much of an impact on the problem.

40% reduction too low. To stop warming requires elimination of virtually all (>80%) carbon emissions.

There's a really simple interactive web-based model here if you're interested in playing with the numbers:

Global emissions hence global warming is inherently an international problem. I doubt AOC or anyone else with the slightest clue is under the illusion that the U.S. can unilaterally solve it, hence the importance of international cooperation.

To the extent Cruz's statement "will do little to affect the climate" makes any sense it means that incremental consequences on a normal political timescale (say less than a decade) are small, which is how we've politically kicked the can down the road for the last three decades. On the otherhand broad scale infrastructure cycles are much longer than political cycles (a power plant has a useful life of about 30 years). Thus infrastructure policy decisions (e.g. Keystone pipeline) today will be with us until mid century. That's why even small steps are better than the status quo.

Sure, trolling yourself to pretend you are not you. That game is as old as you are, over 60.

Sure, I used have a little sweet black angel (she was a pin up girl), but now I've found an Indian girl from Nueva Granada. Her father, he ain't no Che Guevara, but her father and momma fought for Mr. Castro in the streets of Angola.

Cruz is a smarmy jerk, but he didn't mean literally 'Paris.' He meant that the Paris accords put the interests of Americans behind those of non-Americans.

Loss of sovereignty has been a right wing cry for generations. The League of Nations, the UN, whether the US or UK would be supreme commander in WW2...it's the same thing.

Cruz was stating a mainstream right wing thing. He's getting picked on unfairly here.

Let me just go ahead and say it. The United States of America is the all-time biggest, baddest greenhouse gas emitter on the planet. Even though the Paris agreement doesn't treat the US worse than other nations, we deserve to pay more.

The US is responsible for more total greenhouse gasses than any other nation. That is, since the beginning of the industrial revolution, we have polluted far more than anyone else.

Currently, China puts out more per year. But on a per-capita basis, the US still does worse.

But anyone who attacks the Paris agreement on the basis that it is unfair to America is totally missing the point. The climate crisis is an emergency unlike anything mankind has ever faced. Our survival as a species is at stake.

Instead of griping about who pays more we should be in a contest to see which nation is willing to sacrifice the most.

Trollminator and Flagpole. Have either of you guys been in prison? If so ... What was it like?

The good news is, the right solutions will actually make America richer than our wildest dreams. For less than 1% of GDP we can create a power system that runs entirely on solar, wind, and batteries. Plus, it will have a generating capacity that is 4x what we have right now.

This is the "free" electricity I've been talking about. We are finally seeing some respectable studies that bear out what I've been saying here the last few years. Once you build the infrastructure, the electricity is essentially free because sun and wind cost nothing.

Math and physics let you see the future.

And with 4x more generating capacity you get incredible wealth. The key to wealth is cheap power. That's what you get with large scale solar and wind.
