Ah, with a sharpie. Now I get it!

Just because she doesn't care about all of the third world people that will die from the actions she proposes doesn't mean she's racist. Maybe she is ignorant.

I think it's funny that anybody thinks that poor kid Greta Thunberg is "trying to save the world". Poor kid has lousy parents that have allowed her to believe the world is really coming to an end.

I'm an electrical engineer and I've always liked science. When I was in my teens I became aware of "global warming". Cities were to be under water by 2000. The arctic was going to be ice free by 2005. Snow was going to be a thing of the past, the Simpsons even did an episode on that.

To my right, about 20 inches from me, is a computer that is fully capable of simulating a Cray computer from 1990. Where's a climate model I can run myself? Seriously, where is it? Every single freaking prediction that I was freaking out about 25 years ago, which I truly believed, was wrong. Every single one. I hate to admit it, but the "climate change denies", are absolutely right. I never imagined I would have said this. Climate change seems to be largely a hoax, certainly the model is EXTREMELY flawed because it's never produced a useful prediction.

Muslims could always run for office. It's in the Constitution: Article VI, Clause 3.

Also, that's not what the McCarren-Walter Act actually did unless this page is wrong: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/mccarren-walter-act-goes-into-effect Apparently it was a McCarthy type anti-communist bill.

Snopes falls for the "If the President is impeached, but not found guilty, he can run for another term" hoax.

A federal office holder swears an oath to uphold the constitution as the supreme law.
A Muslim must hold Islamic law as the supreme law.
Seems like the two are mutually exclusive.

Have you heard of the expression: “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”
Also have you heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect? Basically, people with only a little knowledge of a subject (such as an engineer’s knowledge of climate science) will underestimate the size of the knowledge base on that subject and incorrectly assume they know more of the total than they do.
The classic example was the bank robber who robbed banks in broad daylight with no mask. When he was easily identified and caught, he was mystified because he’d smeared his face with lemon juice! Knowing that lemon juice was a key component of invisible ink, he assumed that it would turn his face invisible as well!

Being EE guy means he has more knowledge of computers and modeling than the average guy. He also pointed out "where is the models we can look at" since today's desktops are capable of running what was done on a Cray in the 90s, so why not put the models on open source? He also pointed out the decades of wrong predictions by the models. To negate these facts merely because he is not a climate scientist is flawed logic.

You know, this cartoon is quite accurate.

The Democrats keep on coming up with crazy schemes to get Trump, but which keep blowing up in their faces, just like Wile E. Coyote.

Trump always escapes their schemes, just like the Road Runner. Beep beep!

HeadSet says

so why not put the models on open source?

The Climate Modellers won't even put out their numbers when they sue for libel. The moment the Judge demands discovery and for the plaintiff to produce their model, Michael Mann and others drop the case and run away, even when they have to pay all the defendant's fees.

Trump has directed that the EPA use publicly available studies when creating rules and regulations. Here's info: https://www.atr.org/trump-epa-introduces-plan-improve-transparency-and-cost-benefit-analysis

It was an example not an indictment. Even climate scientists don’t know half of what makes the weather tick. But I find the worst misjudgements are made by people who truly don’t understand the sheer scope of their own ignorance on a subject. I’m not a climate expert either, but I endeavor to understand just how much I do not understand.
As Socrates said, “The Oracle at Delphi said that I was the wisest of all men because I, of all men, know that I know nothing.”

You would think the Liberals would get a new distributor of canard props, but they keep on buying cheap made in Yugoslavia crap from ACME from the cold war era to use on Trump.

She was an evil bitch wasn't she. Dodged a bullet when Trump won.

Now THAT"S funny!

ABSOLUTELY FALSE!

Liberals are systematically suppressing US wages for poor citizens by importing literally millions of Mexicans and demanding that everyone accept it or be called "racist".

It's only about MONEY and liberals are sucking corporate cock for MONEY.

It's sad and hilarious.

It's no kind of secret.

The Companies that write checks to the Dems and NeverTrumpers flat out COMPLAIN they'll have to pay decent wages or provide benefits if the illegal immigration stops.

Moreover, lower middle class blue collar workers move from progressive CA to TX in droves. Kinda means progressives are screwing working people over and they vote with their feet...
