Skiing in Tahoe in July this year. Yep, really warm here too!

One fun thing is to add Hell Michigan to your Weather App tracking list. Then when someone says "it's hotter than Hell around here" you can reply with "hold on, let me check ... nope! Hell is only 84 degrees right now, see!" And in the winter time if someone says "... when Hell freezes over" you can check and reply with "hold on, let me check ... actually, Hell is frozen over right at this moment!"

Great times!

2019 promises to be colder than 2018 which was colder than 2017 which was colder than 2016 which was hotter than 2015 by .004 degrees.

Looks like the global temperature peaked a couple of years ago.

I think HEYYOU accidentally brought up a useful point: Much of the world's pollution is caused by a small number of people. Carbon emissions might not be a good example, but think about other types of air pollution... that one person with an old 2-stroke leaf blower puts more of many pollutants into the air in a single 15 minute blow than my car commuting for a week. That's one argument against California's ever-more-strict car requirements; we're at the point of negligible returns and it would be far better to concentrate on a few gross polluters.

Still enjoying beach weather in the Northeast! I hope that it's warm enough to go some more in October.

I think many Republicans would love to abolish FEMA. Just as Ron Paul suggested, it's no business of the federal government to bail out bad behavior; it only encourages more.

That said, if you did a Democrat -vs- Republican head count you'd see that, by far and away, the Democrats get a lot more FEMA relieve than Republicans. We're still subsidizing Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.

Tim Aurora says

Any report brought by MSM is media's fault as if their Job is to support Trump. Ironically it the Republican media stooges like Fox new and Sean Hannity lead the way

The issue is when MSM goes crazy over some completely unsubstantiated story. Sean Hannity basically just points out that the story is unsubstantiated. A few days later, when the unsubstantiated story turns out to be baseless, Hannity then points out that the story (now completely missing in the MSM) was bogus.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

2. A President can do whatever he wants
Argument is shifted from right and wrong to President has the right to do so

The "Repubs, Fox, etc." usually cite The Constitution. I know... old document written by dead white men. (They weren't dead when the wrote it, but they are dead now. Just wanted to clarify!)

And, after all, The Constitution was written by white people for the benefit of white people. And that's why, ummm..., that's why Koreans and Jews are so successful in the USA. Yeah, that's it.

Tim Aurora says

3. It is the deep state
Any allegations stemming from FBI, CIA is a deep state who are staging a coup against the president

That appears to be accurate.

Link to back that up?

That's a tricky one, but I'm willing to support killing FEMA just on a hunch. :-)

Wouldn't you agree that most of hurricane relief goes to "large costal cities," which are almost exclusively liberal "paradises"? Which cities make the news after Hurricanes? Does New Orleans ring a bell? Even Houston, which received major FEMA aid recently, has a large (and increasing) democratic base.

Note that I'm referring to FEMA support here, not all the farm (and other) subsidies.

On a side note, I'd be for getting rid of the farm and other subsidies as well.

Hm... it does seem like those in "tornado alley" get a lot of FEMA $$$. Maybe there are a large number of small incidents (small compared to a category-5 hurricane — obviously not small to you if your house is demolished). Those small incidents don't really make the news cycle but they add up over time.

There is no global warming. Bloomberg is just another fake alarmist lately, dude should go back to banning pepsi or something, worked out so well for him.

Let me compare.

Most universities are ran by liberals to a point where social studies became utter garbage instead of education.
But a single website probably built by 2 guys in their garage is a problem.

We are comparing 100000 vs 2, seems kind of one sided.

I've seen those videos of liberals protesting, they did it in many universities, torn down many lectures. Those Jordan Peterson videos do show that off pretty well, where those nice lefties show up to disrupt everything. And there are many others, Ben Shapiro needed security guards to not get killed on one campus. Talk about liberals destroying education.

With the MSM support.

Newest poll in California puts Warren with 29% and Biden with 18%.
Warren’s got this.

Tulsi Gabbard did Kamala in during second? debate. That is why Tulsi was not allowed in further debates - she might have taken out some other establishment favorite.

OccasionalCortex says

It is the Democrats and their media pals who start scandals. 'Manufacture' would be a better word for it.

Yeah, media added the Sharpie on the map

Perfect example of a manufactured scandal, sharpies.

HEYYOU says

Therefore the weather is perfect everywhere else?

No idea. But when I lived in California for 20+ years, never there either. Apparently I have some unique ability to channel GW away from wherever I live...

I'll ask again, without expecting valid answers, does anyone know of any impeachable high crimes or misdemeanors our president has committed?


Didn't think so.

What’s interesting about this latest “scandal” involving Biden and the Ukraine...is that not only is it unsubstantiated, but it’s placing a spotlight on Biden’s corrupt and shady dealings as Vice President. When the facts are released (after media coverage intensifies to frenzy levels) and the President is found to have committed no wrongs, everyone will still remember that Joe Biden did some sleazy deals in the Ukraine with his son.
Biden’s poll numbers are already dropping like a rock. Warren’s victory looks assured.

Trump smiles: used the media to eliminate his most dangerous opponent once again!

It's written in the NYT:
There's no proof Biden's son did anything wrong
There's no proof Trump threatened Ukraine, but we all know he did it.

Springing the trap now!
Amazing!
He did it again!

We are all about to find out when he releases the unredacted transcript of the call!

Another Media Scooby Doo!

And if it hadn't been for that Meddling Trump, I woulda gotten away with it too!

Does anyone think these idiots have already thrown in the towel on 2020(I mean seriously...youre really gonna run Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren for fucking POTUS?)?

Might as well impeach if President Trump is going to win no matter what.

Furthermore, are these boobs actually admitting that most polling is utter bullshit, and that Rasmussen's likely voter poll is the accurate one?

And the one that makes me question everything....Number of Democrats who think the economy is doing well is polling in the 30's!!!! WTLF?!?!?!

How on earth can one believe that the best economy of any of our lifetimes is doing anything but good or excellent? I'm not willing to concede Democrats are that stupid, so I'm calling BS on the poll.

Biden is over.

Shrieking Sherikia.

Here's a fun research project....

Look at a map of the USA colored by voter id requirements. Here's one for example:
https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_identification_laws_by_state

Now look at a map of the USA colored by states the Trump won. Here's an example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election

From the "article":

Ponzi World (Over 3 Billion NOT Served)

Um... last I looked there were only about 350 million USA citizens. I would expect over 6 billion not served by the person elected to serve the interests of USA citizens.

"ignoring trade war risk, global recession risk, market concentration risk, liquidity risk, interest rate ... "

Blah blah blah. I've packed on several million in net worth compared to November 5, 2016.

$1000 to random families who vote for me!!! GAME SHOW TIME!!!!

It's too late, now there's multiple allegations this Idiot is claiming. You think getting bogus FISA warrants on the Christopher Steele Dossier was dirty dealings.
You haven't seen nothing yet, the level they will stoop to keep this going. They are committed. Trump is getting close. They need to discredit the Administration that prosecuting corruption. That is what all of this is about, it is what the Russia hoax was about. And Trump humored them and allowed them to get this far. He should have called in the Guard on the second week after his inauguration and put the coup down then. He should have grabbed Sessions by his hair(singular not plural) and dragged him out of his White House and said "Get Off my Plane!"

Jiuliani was on Ingram Angle this evening. He's got quite a story. Even if just half of it is half true, that's a lot of corruption from the anti-Trumpers!

Well, if the past is any indication, probably most of it is true and absolutely nothing will be done.

Trump should have command "get off my plane" when they were flying. :-)

even teh obama espouses coddling of children, and the colleges banning speakers and books that contain ideas fragile children may disagree with and desire their college protect them from. he knew he had to speak on this to help stop the growing wave of confused leftists npcs in academia.

oooooohhh...... thats gotta sting for some of the lefties....to see their savior make fun of their college censorship dreams and wishes.

music to my ears.

Progressive Activists are overwhelmingly wealthy and white (and aged!), and they're way out in Left Field.
