    That is just what I was thinking earlier this evening. It would be even more effective than G. Ford’s pardon of Nixon as it would come from the other party. I would hope Biden would have the strength to push back on the radical left, for the good of the country. Think about it, the most humiliating thing that could happen to Trump, would be to be pardoned by Biden. Biden could even make him say “sorry” and “pretty please” as a condition for the pardon

    Do you have something to contribute?

    With regard to moving the goalposts; there was a back-and-forth on this thread about the number of tropical cyclones vs their strength (or lack there of). The ACE metric accounts for those two variables as well as duration, giving a more accurate measure of the intensity of a hurricane season. It is only by luck that I came across this more accurate method and according to the Weather Channel, it is the correct one. That said, being in the top ten still makes it a very active season, just not a record breaker.

    I have to add “dick” to that list, or is saying I am being a dick different than calling me a dick?

    Cut and paste much?

    We are talking about one year, 2020 not the last 25. Not to mention the records that precede the satellite era are of little comparative value. But if you want to change the subject, you can nosh on the global ACE data http://climatlas.com/tropical/

    OOPS! I just happened to be watching the weather channel this morning and came across this little tidbit; the actual metric weather professionals use to rate hurricane seasons is something called ACE (accumulated cyclone energy) and it accounts for the number, strength, and duration of tropical cyclones. Guess where 2020 ranks? #1? No, #2? No, #3? No, #4? Nope, #5? Guess again. 2020 barely makes the top ten, coming in at number ten. Looks like I am going to have to rescind my Mea Culpa and replace it with an I-a-told-ya Or to quote my great granddaddy Beauregard Hutchings, ”I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken”

    Yet I can be called a weasel, bigot, homophobe, transphobe, denier, dead ender, misogynist, and reading comprehensive challenged and that’s ok? Got it. That is ok though because it says more about the name callers than it does me. Mind you, I am NOT playing victim here (that would be unbecoming of an Airborne Ranger) I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy. Not calling anyone a hypocrite BTW, just saying there is a profound double standard. But that is OK, I could go elsewhere however chose to stay engaged.

    I didn’t say I didn’t like it, I just wanted to know if I could do it too.

    I don’t subscribe to crap like the NYT. Cut and paste if you want me respond. BTW still waiting for your response regarding forum rules.

    Question for the moderators Would it be acceptable for me to respond with something like “the douchebagery is strong with this one” or do PAs only go in one direction? The posters response adds nothing to the conversation, it is not funny, it is not even slightly clever. I would call his retort sophomoric, but that would be an insult to sophomores. Please advise.

    So if warming = more and stronger tropical storms, we should see an increase ON AVERAGE. Given the increase in tropical cyclones was a regional phenomenon and not global one I’m going to have to chalk this season up to “weather” and not “climate”.
  13. brenthutch
    I’ve already issued a mia culpa, for this years hurricane season, two months ago. If it is global warming and not a result of this year’s La Niña, we should expect next year to be even worse. If it is, I will have been wrong, if it isn’t I will have been vindicated. It sure doesn’t look like a trend.
  14. brenthutch
    Stacey Abrams should take that advice.
  15. brenthutch
    You haven’t been paying attention, have you?
  16. brenthutch
    That is my point, let the Trump campaign make increasingly bizarre claims and have them refuted by Republican governors and conservative judges, and that island will shrink quickly.
  17. brenthutch
    I never said somebody was preventing him from filing lawsuits. On the Sunday shows there were numerous Democrats calling for them to end and concede the election. All I am saying is, do the recounts and investigate claims of shenanigans. I don’t think it will change the outcome, but it might help settle some folks down.

    Getting dismissed for lack of evidence and no basis for appeal IS going all the way through.
  19. brenthutch
    Just like Al Gore got his day in court. If the case is has been dismissed and appeals have been exhausted, it has gone “all the way through” If 70 million+ Americans don’t feel our democratic institutions can be trusted, that’s not good. Biden should welcome a full and thorough vetting of the election.
  20. brenthutch
    I want the lawsuits to go all of the way through, anything less will be more divisive and give credence to Trump’s claim that the election was stolen. Give him his day in court, have his lawyers make their case and let this play out.

    I was not being insulting, I have friends in those groups as well. The additional letters were to represent the ever growing/changing list of sexual and gender identities that begin to alienate cisgender working class males of all races. When ACB gets attacked by Democrats for using the term “sexual preference” some folks just throw their hands in the air and say “I just don’t get them” I intended no malice.

    So your point is that the purpose of the EC in today’s America is to protect slavery?
  23. brenthutch
    There were several reasons for the electoral college, the only one that is relevant today is the protection of smaller states. If folks don’t like it, change it with a simple constitutional amendment, there really shouldn’t be any discussion.
  24. brenthutch
    Then how do you account for Obama or Tim Scott (a black man representing SC in the heart of tho old confederacy) for that matter.
  25. brenthutch
    And that is why Biden won in a landslide, the Ds took control of the Senate and expanded their margin in the House of Representatives.
