    You aren't capable of having a civil discussion, are you?

    I absolutely am. Unlike you, I didn't make a crude insult for no reason at all.

     

    But I would like to be clear on what we're discussing. Be clear as to who "her" and "he" is, etc. Clearly state what accusations we're referring to. Explain exactly what "due process" "president birther" did not get. Use complete sentence structure so his questions are clear. Then I might be willing to discuss it if discussion is warranted.

  2. President Birther should have due process? The MAGAt that wanted to crucify the Central Park 5 without due process even after they were cleared? The POS that wanted to "lock her up" even though she testified for 11 hours before Congress and he won't step inside a confessional booth because his lawyers know he is a "trucking liar"?

    Put that in intelligent English and we'll discuss it.

  3. You don’t really think that liberals don’t contribute to the River Keeper, Ducks Unlimited, etc. do you? Also I think that the left contributes just as much if not more than the right as far as climate change organizations.

     

    One other thing, is this really a political issue? I mean this is more about a mankind issue as far as I’m concerned.

    It shouldn't be political, but unfortunately the parties have made it that way.

     

    Aboortzion, same-sex marriage, race, etc shouldn't be political either. But politicians use these issues to get the emotional vote.

     

    Yes, both parties.

  4. Your article takes some convenient leaps. For example, it starts out correctly mentioning heat waves and droughts, but then goes on to blame them on climate change, when in reality they are weather trends.

    El Nino, for example, tends to raise global temperatures; however it is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Though global temps have risen a bit more sharply in recent years, those increases coincide with El Nino and other naturally occurring weather phenomenons.


    Facts are, since 1901 the Earth has warmed by 1.2 degrees. since 1901. And humans had little means of affecting the Earth's temps when we go back decades and beyond. No commercially produced greenhouse gasses, other than farts and decaying waste from animals and humans, and volcanic emissions. We know from history that the planet has experienced far more dramatic periods of warming and cooling (volcanic periods vs ice ages), but we did not have the technology to track or analyze them until a few decades ago, and some of the early equipment was not reliable

    The real truth is that we absolutely need to be concerned about our planet and monitor the situation. But once you get past the junk science that is paid for by political and special interest funding; there is little evidence that human beings are causing climate change. We might simply be going through yet another natural cyclical event that we have no control over.

    You on the political left should remember before posting stuff like this that there are people on this board who actually have training in areas of science.

    Now that is a whopper on several levels. You've really outdone yourself.

     

    First the ABA would find hundreds of folks highly qualified ... probably at least half of the law professors who said he was not.

     

    The letter in which the professors said he should be disqualified was based on his testimony last week. That was when he blurted out in a rage conspiracy theories and suggested he was a vengeful fellow. In the eyes of millions, that single outburst of injudicious behavior disqualified justice kavanaugh from the supreme court.

     

    One will note that there were no similar outbursts against Justice Gorsuch last year.

     

    The problem is that the leadership of the Republican tribe knew this nomination was destined for trouble. Rather than seeking to build bridges and offer a nominee that would be more acceptable to societal interests other than those of the Federalist Society.

     

    I am certain if that testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee were on the record before the ABA rendered its assessment, he would not have gotten it.

     

    You, of course will disagree but the plain fact is if he had given that testimony at any other time than at the time of the vote ... literally the day before the first planned vote.

     

    But the whopper is that this whole thing is not about Kavanaugh, it is about how far Mitch McConnell will go to exercise the tyranny of the majority in the Senate. It is the Senate, that for centuries has been the home of the filibuster and its protection of minorities.

     

    Needless to say it was the abuse of the tools of the minority and later the tool of the majority which effectively ended the filibuster on SCOTUS nominations.

     

    Fact is, can you name the only two supreme court justices to be confirmed at a time there was not 'the filibuster'

     

    By nominating and not eventually rejecting a candidate who should have been rejected - a feeling shared by millions - basically the GOP screamed 'my way or the highway.'

     

    That you pushed someone so flawed over our very, very, very loud objection simply shows your contempt for those who don't toe your party's line.

     

    That notion is light years away from the ideals of the founders who were very much part of the enlightenment as the American experiment in self-government was literally heresy just 241 years ago.

    PS: One of the lessons of the enlightenment is that morality can't be quantified in money.

    You stated above that Kav wasn't qualified.

     

    The ABA stated that he was highly qualified.

     

     

    So yes, you think you know better than the American Bar Association. Pretty arrogant of you, pubs.

    Strangely, the statement that Brett Kavanaugh made to the Senate judiciary committee last Thursday - you know the one that has well over 2000 Law School Professors and a retired SCOTUS Justice say those statements alone disqualifies him - had as its primary target the entire embodiment of Populist Nationalism: Donald J. Trump.

     

    That a presumably pragmatic political party would contort itself to the whims of a spoiled brat still begs credulity.

    is not qualified -

    Really?

     

     

     

    The American Bar
    Association
    ’s
    Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary
    has completed its evaluation of the professional qualifications of
    Judge Brett M.
    Kavanaugh
    , who
    m
    the President has nominated to the United States
    Supreme
    Court
    . As
    you know, th

    professional competence, and judicial temperament.
    After an ex
    haustive evaluation
    process, t
    he Standing Committee
    has determined by a
    unanimous
    vote that

  7. You just proved my point

     

     

     

    Trump Calls the New York Times 'Failing.' It’s Not—Largely Because of Him

    They have stayed alive by feeding fake news to Trump haters like you.

  8. Possibly, but I'd wait on the IRS to investigate before coming to any conclusions. The NY Times is in deep financial straights and they have taken to being the cheerleader for Trump bashing to try and boost their circulation.

    And I'm a little skeptical that the IRS would have missed such illegal activity as is being claimed.

    My guess is that this will turn out to be more fake news.
