Trump is better?

That's a tough one. At least he knows who Alan Greenspan is.

So yeah, Trump is better.

[10ac]

At this point, what does it matter?

[Cletus]

Trump is the best candidate, maybe in the entire race. It's an unbelievably pathetic state of affairs.

[Professor Tiger]

Trump is the perfect candidate to fit the pop culture country that America has become. If he picks one of the Kardashians as his running mate, he'll win the presidency by 30 points.

[hedge]

Exactly. The whole Trump candidacy is a true reflection of the American entertainment culture. Politics is now just another form of entertainment for the masses and politicians are reality "stars". If it wasn't for the massive amount of power and money they control, it probably would be mildly entertaining. But at the same time, if it wasn't for the power and the money, nobody would care. But maybe it's not such a bad thing. As politics becomes more and more of a clown show, maybe people will start to realize that most of the people that actually go into politics these days are clowns...

[Professor Tiger]

Like someone once said, politics is show biz for the ugly.

[Professor Tiger]

A coincidence? I think not.

Feds Arrest Fox News Commentator, Allege He Lied About CIA Past

WASHINGTON -- A regular guest commentator on Fox News who has been lying for years about working for the Central Intelligence Agency was arrested on Thursday and is being charged in connection with falsely claiming he worked as an “Outside Paramilitary Special Operations Officer” for the CIA for nearly three decades.

Wayne Simmons, a 62-year-old who lives in Annapolis, Maryland, was arrested by federal authorities following his indictment by a federal grand jury for allegedly committing major fraud, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government. Simmons claims to have worked for the CIA from 1973 to 2000, and "used that false claim in an attempt to obtain government security clearances and work as a defense contractor, including at one point successfully getting deployed overseas as an intelligence advisor to senior military personnel," according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.

hhhhmmmmmm...global warming is a political construct...well, duh

[bluetick]

An author of books on e-commerce and an admitted non-expert on climate change tries his hand at denial nut-jobbery. Whoop.

[Professor Tiger]

What is the earth's baseline temperature?

[bluetick]

What is the earth's baseline temperature?

Do you accept NASA's data?

[Toemeesleather]

...fluctuations in energy from the sun correlate very strongly with changes in earth’s temperature, better than CO2 levels


Whether this is written by a scientist, an economist or one of us, it's true and no card carrying warmist lemming wants to talk about it, PERIOD. All they gots is He's not NASA!!!!llll, must be a nutjob....pitiful.

so 14 states are suing the epa for trying to implement obamas green plan cutting statewide carbon emissions. all power plants using coal will be forced to use an alternative source
prices for the consumer are expected to go up 30 %with the obvious loss of jobs as these power plants are forced to retool to a greener form of energy

where I work we spent 3mill on solar panels that should be able to power a couple of our parking lot lights for a month estimated to take 20 years to recoup the investment --that's the government estimate which I know is a bunch of shit

those panels occupy about an acre right in front

anyway nice to see we are throwing our billions at an issue that very likely will not cause mankind to become extinct screwing all the current participants for future generations who will probably look back on us and laugh for the magnification we placed on this issue

[bluetick]

so 14 states are suing the epa for trying to implement obamas green plan cutting statewide carbon emissions.

Conversely, 36 states, D.C. and two territories are complying with the EPA mandate. WIN!

ConservAmerica is an organization of republicans who embrace conservation and accept the science of climate change. I'm sure some of you pukes would sooner join the log cabin repubs or the GOP Black caucus before you'd hold hands with tree huggers, but at least check out the site. Hey, they hate Hillary same as you..

BULLY!

[SnoodGator]

Well, I'm just about to install enough solar panels to run my entire house. I expect to recover the cost in less than five years. I'm looking at it as prepaying the bill. Warranty is 25 years and expected life is 40 years. Plus when I sell, I'd get all my cost back easily. I've got the SoCal sunshine though so the math might not work for others. Looking forward to powering my Tesla with solar.

[Professor Tiger]

Isn't the Tesla sorta like the car Fred and Wilma Flintstone used to drive?
