"I can't predict the future, but

Biden declared MAGA "most dangerous domestic threat"

60,000 lbs of ammonium nitrate are missing from cargo train (10 times the amount used in the Oklahoma bombing)

Senators were given satellite phones

A UHaul crashed into a White House barricade, Nazi flag found inside laid out on full display

Seems to be the perfect psyop in the making."; 5/23/23, 8:01 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I came upon the most transphobic lyrics this side of the gulf and western corporation.

Born a Woman (code for 'trans aren't born women')

It makes no difference
If you're rich or poor
Or if you're smart or dumb
A woman's place in this old world
Is under some man's thumb

(some man's thumb is code for trans)

And if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt
You're born to be stepped on
Lied to, cheated on
And treated like dirt

It goes on an on like that... I'll spare you the dispare.

wendybar said...: "So Obama's wrath was nothing but a fiction to protect the partisan Democrat narrative that they had been promoting about Trump and the Russians, which originated from the embittered political camp of losing Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton.

How would you feel about that if you were a Russian, especially now, reading that it was all a political hoax with you the one chosen to be the whipping boy? You got sanctioned, you got kicked out, you got travel bans, you incurred costs, and some "name and shame" all based on lies.

Might you start thinking of the U.S. as kind of a sleazy, dishonest player on the world scene? Would you have problems trusting them? Might you step up your activities against it? It would seem natural."

"Yes indeed, the Canadian fires are the greatest thing for sunrise photos since the iPhone 14. One such fire also produces more climate change than all the fossil fuel cars in North American idling non-stop for decades."

From Canadian Global News:

"The situation is particularly dire in B.C. where a provincial state of emergency was declared on July 20.

A total of 3,925 wildfires has been recorded so far — which is above the 10-year average, according to CIFFC data. The total area burned is 1,250,348 hectares, which is below the 10-year average, but a staggering 450 per cent higher than last year."

The article is quick to lay blame on climate change, but the statistics don't necessarily support that claim; as planetgeo points out, it could be a feedback loop where forest fire CO2 pumps into the atmosphere. There are other factors besides atmospheric CO2 that can affect fire frequency and severity, like forest management, weather phenomena like El Niño and Pineapple Express, etc.; 5/24/23, 8:19 AM

Drago said...: Lem the misspeller: "Biden is backtracking on not sending F16s to fight against Russia in Ukraine?

Is this true?"

The earliest any Ukrainian would be ready to fly in combat at a novice level is several years.

Prior to that point, and for long after, any F-16 combat missions flown in Ukraine will be flown by US and NATO pilots.

Yes, with all the real world implications and escalatory risks inherent in such an insane policy.

Meanwhile, our borders are wide open.; 5/24/23, 5:42 PM
