Shocking CNN threat aimed at a private citizen.

This is Andrew Kaczynski at CNN, who doesn't seem to have any idea how bad this is:
CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change....
So the human being behind the ridiculous pseudonym HanA**holeSolo should cringe for the rest of his life and never publish anything that CNN could possibly deem "bigoted" or "racist" because it would trigger CNN's delusional duty to destroy him.

Absolutely despicable.

This person is a nonentity. We shouldn't even have heard about him in the first place. Who cares who originally posted the video clip of the CNN logo stuck on the face of the guy Trump was wrestling? Trump passed along the clip the way most of us pass things along, by deciding we like that one thing. We don't search for who started it and then all the other things that person has said or done.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Sure, walter. Of course you would see the expansion of coverage to millions more as a "failure" - (that you somehow, with control of every branch, still can't "correct").

You hate the people who now have coverage, seeing them as "not deserving," but fear their vote against you once you deprive them of it and price them out of the market.

It must really suck being a Republican. Hating on everyone who can't bribe you while wishing you could just keep them from voting you out instead.

What a dilemma. How to act legally against people you hate and who hate you without it backfiring. If only you could deny them the vote. Priorities, priorities.

It's tough being a Republican! Awwww! Poor partisans!

Healthcare reform and control at the federal level is wrong a priori. It should be administered at the state level. Even Terry McAwful is coming 'round to the notion that federal solutions are not the best solutions.

Let Obamacare continue to fail. It's a state-level issue. California will bleed the way.

This is your chance. Kindly explain your theory. Or slink off and hide behind bullshit like you always do when I point out you are full of shit.

What is the correlation coefficient of CO2 in the atmosphere to the global temperature? I don't think you can tell me what a correlation coefficient is without google. But if you look it up you will see why you warmists haven't produced one yet.

I told you twice why plastic surgery is not the ideal reimbursement model for funding the entire healthcare system, and you forgot that explanation both times.

Suffice it to say, you find me a celestial body with a climate that doesn't have an atmosphere and I'll buy your implied "competing theory" to the obvious and well-known fact that it's the gases of the atmosphere that allow for and regulate that climate. To say that the correlation isn't precise enough for whatever arbitrary numeric standard you have elevated as some Holy Mathematical Grail is just nonsensical deflection, and showcases how flimsy your objection is. It's like listening to someone say 9.8 meters per second isn't "precise" enough an acceleration constant for him to buy the "theory" of gravitation! Hahaha.

Obamacare took 10 years of taxes to pay for 6 years of benefits. Obamacare was designed to fail. Trying to pass it off as a success is bad faith.

They are a mix of craven pussies and donor pets. Yes they are shitheads. What do I think they should do?

1. They should eliminate the filibuster so the democrats can't continue their hateful disingenuous bullshit and they can pass something they can take responsibility for.

2. They should turn Medicare/Medicaid into a universal catastrophic coverage plan for every citizen and allow green card holders to pay a decent chuck to buy in, and support a modest emergency room system that doesn't allow walk ins.

3. Expand HSA's and have a government match up to certain amount to replace medicaid.

4. Roll legitimate congenital conditions into the HSA matching program to allow a higher matching amount.

5. Force health care providers to post open and honest pricing that can be paid for by cash or reimbursement. Similar to France.

6. Loser pays tort reform and a higher standard on damages. 75% tax on Lawyers fees based on damage assessments.

7. Obvious removal of state line restrictions on insurance plans and elimination of state fees and licensing requirements on health care establishments.

Will they do anything this sensible and rational? No. There are several traitorous shitheads that serve the same masters the democrats do. I wish Trump would start hammering these people. Health care will be his biggest failure.

This is why you need to actually go look at he theory these scientists have basically made up. If you don't understand what the accepted fact that CO2 levels have been over 2000ppm has to do with the theory of global warming what is the point?

The people who are pushing catastrophic global climate change believe a modest CO2 increase in the atmosphere will lead to an modest increase in temperature which will cause the water vapor levels to increase in a positive feedback loop. Because water vapor traps so much more heat in the atmosphere the earth will become like Venus.

But why didn't that happen when CO2 levels were well over 2000 ppm?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Your 1:17 post sounds very confused. It's the denialists who are going on about water vapor. The actual scientists understand that water vapor turns into clouds which turn into rain, so its effect is not as great as CO2 itself.

A 40% increase (and rising faster and faster) is not "modest" by any stretch of the imagination. Would your employer agree to a 40% increase in your compensation and say, "Hey, it's just a modest raise!" Come on.

Whatever level they were at historically, you seem to keep reaching for whatever geological historic maximum as if to ignore that at those points the effect on coastlines and flora (some which has co-evolved to be cultivated by us - an issue now that wasn't the case then) were dramatic. The effect of these dramatic changes on the planet itself is one thing. But you seem to ignore that their effect on the stable coastlines and agriculture we've developed is what is a much bigger problem - FOR US.

The Navy takes it seriously. All of DOD takes it seriously. You should, too. They need to rely on the ports and maintaining their infrastructure. Perhaps you think human civilization and our own national infrastructure are too "great" (made that way by Trump, apparently) for a constant erosion of our ports infrastructure to matter.

What is the percent of human population habitant coastlines? You cannot mess with these things without contending with huge human migration patterns that dwarf any country's ability to accommodate. Forget the effects of Katrina. Forget current immigration levels to the U.S. What you are doing is ensuring that at a minimum tens to hundreds of millions of climate refugees will cause huge disruption to every aspect of your nation's functioning, let alone its politics.

You will not be able to say to these refugees that millions of years ago, before there were people or primates, the earth got really hot, coastlines shrank, and yet we didn't necessarily go as far as Venus. That will somehow not matter to them. Neither will it change the reality facing you.

Because democrats and republicans in DC serve the same masters. They participate in kabuki theater for the most part. They generally want the insurance companies to get rich because the insurance companies give them lots of money in return.

The republicans in DC had no intention of being in power. They meant to hold a majority in the house and possibly the senate so they could share in the booty being handed out by the insurance companies but they expected and wanted Hillary to win. The plan was to tax someone and give the money to the insurance companies.

The true fallacy is that DC has replaced Health Care with Insurance. Democrats in particular but the GOPe as well play into the lie that if people have insurance they are "covered." But the insurance plans people get have huge deductibles and premiums. They get almost no care out of it but the insurance companies make a lot of money.

The metric I value is health care delivered.

DC democrats/republicans value insurance coverage.

One of these serves people and the other jut makes insurance companies that donate to politicians rich. That is why Obamacare is bullshit.

I appreciate that you are doing research. Now explain why that matters.

The atmosphere has been at 2000ppm. It has been much much higher than that. It doesn't matter if humans existed or not. The same mechanics the warmists claim exist should have turned the earth into Venus at that time. Why did this not happen?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

The CO2 maxima you're referring to has the best evidence for existing around the time of the Cambrian, which was 541 million years ago to 485 million years ago.

I could be wrong, but this seems to be a time way before anything that humans were around for, let alone evolved to live in.

Let alone their cities and agriculture and all the rest.

All life at this time was in the ocean.

Maybe it would be a great ecosystem to return to. But I somehow doubt that would be possible for us without astounding infrastructure changes - the disruption of which would kind of dwarf whatever the congressional and presidential shills are concerned about should we merely switch to a non-oil based energy source.

It is more than that.

If you look at the graph what is the correlation coefficient between CO2 levels and temperature? If anything there is a strong negative correlation in the first derivatives and probably a very modest overall correlation. Do I need to explain what these are or are you going to tell me to take a science class again?

Additionally just look at the temperatures. The earth has almost always had higher CO2 levels and almost always been hotter. According to the warmist theory these conditions should have led to Venus. But it didn't.

That's a quack website written by another one of those guys who apparently worries that the plants are being starved/deprived of adequate "plant food." There are obviously other factors than CO2 that affect climate, but to deny it as any cause whatsoever is once again to pretend that climates can exist at all without atmospheres. I invite Vincent Gray to tell me what regulates the climate on the moon. (Hint, there is no such thing as climate on the moon).

You keep talking about Venus. You are getting something wrong. Its atmosphere is 96.5% CO2. When was that ever the case on this planet?

The link is not a "non-sequitur." It's a reply to your consistent refusal to understand that what was compatible with Cambrian life or a Cambrian (or pre-Cambrian) planet is not compatible with a holocene earth in which 7 billion humans inhabit the planet's coastlines, built significant infrastructure around them and farmed in somewhat reliable (non-drought/rain forest) conditions.

But you think you've got a wonderful alternative to replace doctors, hospitals - hell, maybe even the patients! so why don't you go write a bill that destabilizes and reinvents all the laborers and owners involved in 1/6th of the economy and we can give it an up-or-down vote then and there.

That's a quack website written by another one of those guys who apparently worries that the plants are being starved/deprived of adequate "plant food." There are obviously other factors than CO2 that affect climate, but to deny it as any cause whatsoever is once again to pretend that climates can exist at all without atmospheres. I invite Vincent Gray to tell me what regulates the climate on the moon. (Hint, there is no such thing as climate on the moon).

You introduce 3 straw men and knock them all down. Boring.

You keep talking about Venus. You are getting something wrong. Its atmosphere is 96.5% CO2. When was that ever the case on this planet?

You obviously don't understand your own theory.

The link is not a "non-sequitur." It's a reply to your consistent refusal to understand that what was compatible with Cambrian life or a Cambrian (or pre-Cambrian) planet is not compatible with a holocene earth in which 7 billion humans inhabit the planet's coastlines, built significant infrastructure around them and farmed in somewhat reliable (non-drought/rain forest) conditions. What is so hard to understand about that? Are you arguing for the trilobites or for the humans?

You are literally ignoring evidence because humans weren't on the planet. That is creationist level stupidity.

This post was a really poor effort. But you are making progress. You actually looked some things up and engaged. A little more skepticism and you could be a scientist yet.

Now if you could actually apply some of the things you learned today to your theory that would be a big step.

You again confuse insurance coverage with health care.

Because that's how we pay for it in this country. And in any advanced, industrial country. We will not return to the days of bartering with Sharon Angle's chickens in exchange for a visit by the country doctor. The costs are large because the value is large. And because doctors are necessarily well-educated - no matter how much you wish they would all be replaced by chiropractors or naturopaths or whatever.

Canada doesn't have insurance companies. I don't think you really understand this as well as you think you do. You also made up a bunch of straw men and knocked them down again. Boring.

None of that makes Obamacare anything other than a corrupt handout to insurance companies that raised costs for Americans. We are getting less actual health care now. You bleat and preen and pretend you care more about people but it is a joke. You only seem to care about insurance companies making more money.

Geez.

So who did CNN go to? Reddit? Their ISP? The Government? No! I am 100% certain, using CNN's own standards of proof, that Putin hacked Reddit and gave up the guy to CNN to show what a mockery our press really is.

This post's comments remind me of the end of "Blazing Saddles", where the cowboy brawl spills out of the West and sprawls into the Hollywood Studio, including the set of a big musical ("The French Mistake"), and ends with an epic pie fight.

Yep: that's it.

I am Laslo.

Laslo Spatula said...

From Wiki:

Pieing has its origins in the "pie in the face" gag from slapstick comedy, first seen in the 1909 Essanay Studios silent film Mr. Flip starring Ben Turpin.[1] In the story, Turpin has a pie pushed into his face for taking liberties with a woman.

Beginning in 1913 with That Ragtime Band and A Noise from the Deep, filmmaker Mack Sennett became known for using one or two thrown pies in many of his comedy shorts. Sennett had a personal rule about who received the pies: "A mother never gets hit with a custard pie ... Mothers-in-law, yes. But mothers? Never."[2]

At least a half dozen films have been made incorporating extended pie-throwing battles. The first was Charlie Chaplin's Behind the Screen released in 1916. The definitive pie fight in film occurs in The Battle of the Century (1927) starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, using 3,000 pies. Our Gang's Shivering Shakespeare (1930) winds up with an auditorium full of people throwing pies. The 1935 short subject Keystone Hotel featured a large pie-fight ending with the camera taking a pie. In 1941, another major pie-fight film appeared: The Three Stooges' In the Sweet Pie and Pie.[3][4][5] A Technicolor film involving pies was the 1965 comedy, The Great Race; known for having the largest pie fight in cinematic history.[6] Its $200,000 pie-fight scene used one large cake and 4,000 pies, and took five days to shoot.[7] Pie fights also featured in Beach Party (1963), Smashing Time (1967) and Blazing Saddles (1974). In Bugsy Malone (1976), the "splurge guns" resembled spud guns which fired custard. Original plans called for Dr. Strangelove (1964) to end with a pie fight; the scene, though filmed, was ultimately deemed excessively farcical by director Stanley Kubrick and removed from the final cut. Surviving stills from the excised pie fight have appeared online.[8]

Roger Kimball:

"A couple of weeks ago in this space, I speculated that CNN, the Crackpot News Network, had reached the terminal stage of malevolent implausibility. “[I]t would be a good thing,” I wrote, “were CNN humiliated and sued out of existence. It performs no journalistic function, merely a destructively partisan one.”

As usual, I was too kind. CNN will not have to be sued out of existence, as Gawker Media, another disgusting purveyor of malicious gossip and fake news, was a year or so back. No, CNN seems to be performing a species of hara-kiri or seppuku in public."


Heh.

TTR said: "The actual scientists understand that water vapor turns into clouds which turn into rain, so its effect is not as great as CO2 itself."

** Clouds consist of water vapor. - check
** Cloud produce rain. - check
** Therefore water vapor does not have as great a greenhouse effect as the atmospheric trace gas known as CO2. -- Huh?

Some one will need to bring me up to speed on the science and logic behind the third item.

TTR said: "The actual scientists understand that water vapor turns into clouds which turn into rain, so its effect is not as great as CO2 itself."

Wow, see what I mean about TTR? Why even bother to explain it to him when his whole world-view based on his superiority to you depends on him not understanding it? I could say that those raindrops are. constantly replaced by more water vapor, maintaining the effect. I could even say that the whole scaremongering theory of "Enhanced Greenhouse Effect" is based on the idea that warmer air will absorb more water, leading to a runaway situation, though I can't remember the other logarithmic phenomenon that ever "ran away." Just saying that he doesn't even know his side's talking points.

Michael Mann of hockey stick global warming graph game is being held in contempt of. Kurt for not providing the court with the data proving his hypothesis.

tim in vermont said...

And all of this coal and oil came from the atmosphere, and was extracted as "food" by plants before it was interred by geological processes. Why weren't we Venus then? The stoma on plants obviously evolved at a time of far higher CO2 concentrations, and, in fact, if left to their own devices, the plants would capture more and more CO2 until plant life was no longer sustainable, and we were not that far from that point. See, it's not just humans that mess around with the atmosphere. Not just yeast that multiplies until it uses up all of its food and converts it to waste. Plants do it too! But God created plants perfect! I am sure is TTR's response! It's a religion with these guys, and they have no idea.

But none of this interests TTR on account of we are talking about actual scientific results, and he is more interested in experiments performed on less than perfect models by politically motivated activists in service of "the cause." "The cause" was Michael Mann's phrase, BTW, taken from his leaked emails.

"The Mirror has learned that Kaczynski did not write those lines.
Rather, they were inserted in the editing process." ...
“The line that raised the most eyebrows was inserted during the editing process,” the insider added. “But I’m not sure who inserted — editor, legal or standards. I do know the intention was exactly the opposite of the outcome.”
When you make a terrible mistake in the editing process, you fix it right away and apologize. Kaczynski didn't immediately respond that these weren't his words, he would never have said that. He still hasn't. The post is still up as it was, with those words.
They brought this on themselves and they haven't tried to fix it.

"They brought this on themselves and they haven't tried to fix it."
I'd add that this claim, that it was inserted by a lawyer or something, has the ring of truth to me. The phrase _sounds_ like some stupid lawyer's bright idea. What it actually does is turn CNN's claim of virtuousness into a threat.
They are refusing to acknowledge that, and of course that costs them in credibility and should.

What a bunch of garbage. Most species aren't programmed with the suicidality of exhausting their own resources. If plant activity reduced co2 to the point of threatening their own survival, the only plants remaining would be those evolved to live in low co2 concentrations, allowing for a rebound in that resource once again. This has been the case for billions of years. To assert that human induced co2 waste is necessary to keep plants alive is one of the dumbest ideas you conservatards ever came up with.

You must have flunked biology.

I could say that those raindrops are. constantly replaced by more water vapor, maintaining the effect.

You could, but you'd be wrong. More water vapor can only be "constantly replaced" by more heat, or more combustion. So if you're really concerned that h2o is the culprit, stop combusting those hydrocarbons creating it.

And stop pretending that co2's inability to phase change into non-gaseous forms at normal conditions on earth doesn't keep it stuck in the atmosphere in a way that h2o isn't.

Canada doesn't have insurance companies.

I didn't say they did. I said they had "insurance coverage." Read. Just because it's the government doing it doesn't mean it's not still insurance. Premiums are derived from the tax base and the coverage is paid in the form of reimbursement to whichever doctor you want to see - much like Medicare or Medicaid. If you hate the insurance companies then I'm not the one telling you you can't have the government doing it.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Nope. I said high CO2 and temperatures in the past weren't a problem for us because we didn't exist back then. Creationist seems to be the viewpoint you're taking by constantly referencing those non-human habited pasts, as if to say we our civilization was around back then to reap the damages that it is reaping this time.

And yours is the party that hosts creationists, not mine. If you have a problem with them take it up with the ideology that seems to attract them to your party.
