Mass starvation has wiped out thousands of penguin chicks in Antarctica, with unusually thick sea ice forcing their parents to forage further for food in what conservationists Friday called a "catastrophic breeding failure".
French scientists, supported by WWF, have been studying a colony of 18,000 pairs of Adelie penguins in East Antarctica since 2010 and discovered only two chicks survived the most recent breeding season in early 2017.
They attributed the disaster to extensive sea ice late in the summer, meaning the adult penguins had to travel further to find food, with the chicks dying as they waited.

Sorry to hear about the penguin chicks.
Just like that story not long ago about a group of AGW scientists sailing to the south pole ice cap to study its imminent demise, but there was so much ice they got stuck in it and had to be rescued.
Then there was a story about Canadian icebreakers being frantically busy.
Didn't Al Gore say the polar ice caps would be gone by now?

Move "mentally unfit" to the top of the long list of reasons Trump can not remain president. "Virulent racist" seemed to have a stranglehold on the spot but the danger posed by his rotting brain is more troubling than his fondness and allegiance for the fine people in the Nazis and KKK.

Who woulda seen this coming, right? Trump was SO rational and statesman-like all through the campaign... it's as if a crazed narcissistic demon took over his body.
Meanwhile, another tragedy unfolds
Lookout! Lookou - oooohhh.

Opening line from an article about a fight in the stands from last night's NFL game:
"Even as the NFL and CBS celebrated another ratings increase for “Thursday Night Football,” up 7 percent over last year..."

With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!
Funny because while granted he just wants a media that is unable to challenge him in any way, technically his words accurately apply to any mainstream news outlet. The people literally own the airwaves, and we just sit back and allow the mega corporations to propagandize us into a stupor while they rob everyone blind.

More white supremacy...Make Austria Great Again!!!1111
The strategy of "putting Austrians first" propelled the sluggish OeVP to pole position in opinion polls and Kurz to near-rock star status.

Oh good, a far right Austrian coming into power. That usually works out well.

Reminds me of the joke about Austria's greatest accomplishment: They somehow convinced the world that Mozart was Austrian and Hitler was German...

Actually, it was Beethoven, not Mozart. That doesn't work as well, b/c I never thought Beethoven was Austrian in the first place...

Yet, somehow, this "mentally unfit" and "virulent racist" guy "with a rotting brain" somehow managed to defeat the mighty Clinton juggernaut in the 2016 election. And now has the entire liberal/Democratic/media/academic/elitist/bicoastal Establishment peeing themselves, soiling themselves, cutting themselves, shrieking in one great big childish temper tantrum, and checking under their beds at night for Trump-Russia collusion bogeymen.
And he did this all in less than a year. Cheer up, Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers: as of today, you only have 1,191 more days of Trump left in his first term. And when he defeats whatever loony geriatric McGovernite in 2020, you'll have ANOTHER 1,460 days to sit back, relax, and enjoy watching Donald John Trump make America great again.

So you claim scoreboard every time you attempt to defend the indefensible. And when it suits you you'll remind everybody that you didn't vote for the guy. A real profile in courage right there.

Me? Nah. I merely call 'em like I see 'em.
I really didn't vote for him, but I probably will next time.
When Trump talks and tweets like a crazy man, which he does all the time, and is also why I didn't vote for him, I don't like it and say so.
When he does many, many things that are not "indefensible," but are cheered by me and about half the country, then I say that too.
All the above are true and compatible. I'm just a humble purveyor of truth.
PS: you have AT LEAST 1,190 days, and likely 2,650 days, remaining with Trump as POTUS. With all that he has accomplished making America great again in ONLY the past 270 days, just think how much more MAGA we all have to look forward to.
