  1. So you consciously decided that engaging with the topic of any thread on this forum would not interest you, and you did this instead? Why is that?
  2. And yet it still never crossed your mind to talk about a topic for once. Why is that?
  3. “Don’t you know who my Mommy is?” No but seriously, I’m sure he’s a good strong Republican man who takes responsibility for his own actions. Well, maybe not completely sure…
  4. If you’re too embarrassed to say why you really started posting here, why do it at all?
  5. That's cool. Interestingly Diesel engines are enjoying huge success in the light aircraft market right now - Diamond alone sell a heck of a lot of them. They're heavier than equivalent hp aircooled petrols, but with a much lower fuel burn and JetA is 60% the cost of Avgas (at least over here).
  6. So what are you doing here then?
  7. I agree that there is no position you won’t support if I’m on the other side of it. Which kinda makes you my wooden Indian puppet, when you think about it.
  8. Do you think what Brent is saying is true?
  9. Apart from thw fact that it was a response to Olof, none of that is true. Again, your willingness to flat out lie about what was written in black and white is why no-one should give a flying fuck about anything you present asevidence on the climate.
  10. You said "You can't have it both ways". You said it's either CO2 or natural variability, not both. So what is that global warming does that makes an El Nino / La Nina cycle of warming and cooling impossible? What's the physical mechanism of CO2 build up that means a massive ocean current must stop flowing?
  11. A week or so ago you told us we had to believe that either global warming was real or that El Nino was real but not both at the same time. So why should anyone give a flying fuck about any other summary you provide? You've pretty conclusively proved your willingness to spout utterly ridiculous bullshit in service of your chosen dogma.
  12. One of them definitely talks more sense than the other. She actually made a joke about the craziness of taking economics advice from Joe Biden. At a conference she was invited to speak at. After what she did 18 months ago. I’ll give you two guesses whose economy has done better since then, and you won’t need the second one.
  13. They've more than flirted with authoritarianism by cosying up to proto-dictators like Viktor Orban for a few years, but now they're so comfortable with it they can say stuff like this out loud and not even flinch. "Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this, right here." How on earth is this shower of radicals and idiots gaining so much of the mainstream space in right wing politics? How can anyone take them seriously? They invited Liz Truss - a politician so inept that she managed to break the British economy in a premiership that lasted less than two months - to give a speech and applauded her just because she blamed it all on woke. Where is the marketplace of ideas that Ron used to bang on about?
  14. Another real piece of real history that people like Nikki Haley have to ignore when claiming that the US has never been a racist country.
  15. Selfishness and stupidity aren’t always the same thing.
  16. The craziest bit of the situation is that the guy he has to pay is also a Trump supporter who believes there was election interference - he just thinks that Mike Lindell’s claims are so stupid it makes the rest of the election deniers look bad by association.
  17. Of course it’s not just stupidity. They both know that their entire line of attack on Biden is an exercise in political opportunism and revenge for the Trump impeachments. That’s why they’re doing what they’re doing, quality of evidence is irrelevant. Now Comer might just be dumb enough to have convinced himself that he really is the second coming of Jimmy Stewart, but with Jordan it’s cynicism all the way. He can’t have been taken in by a foreign agent because he never would have given a single thought to whether the information is true. He doesn’t care if it’s true. Similarly he’s not part of the Russian conspiracy because he doesn’t care where the information came from, what their goals are or even if another country is trying to benefit from it at the expense of the US. The only thing he will have considered at any point in time is ‘can I use this to benefit me right now.’
  18. Republicans would claim its absolutely nothing to do with guns, it’s just that American society is so irredeemably awful.
  19. So that one worked out exactly as intended then. Two people arguing and each know the other is armed, they literally have no choice but to start shooting in preemptive self defence. Now back to why liberal’s gun laws are so stupid…
  20. Is that legal in the US? In Europe you absolutely cannot do that for web sales (or any distance selling).
  21. No, he's right. I looked at that program and it definitely says they're going to supply broadband that only connects to black websites.
  22. I don't get why this keeps going (mostly) unchallenged in the sane (non Fox, Newsmax etc) media. Trump was there damn near everyday of the trial claiming everyone made money and no-one lost out and he never defaulted and the response has been mostly technical explanations of why that's not the point. Why isn't he getting hammered everyday with the fact that he absolutely did not pay back all of those loans, and some of the lenders he tricked lost 'yuge' (as did the taxpayer)? https://www.forbes.com/sites/nicholasreimann/2020/10/27/report-trump-had-over-280-million-in-debt-forgiven-and-avoided-paying-taxes-on-most-of-it/#:~:text=President Donald Trump has had,paying taxes%2C the newspaper says.
  23. RIP to one incomprehensibly courageous man. Really puts Trump’s whinges about so called political persecution into perspective.
  24. Hey look, a reply that has nothing to do with the ridiculous claim you just made. Just like always.
  25. The original thread still exists, and still has those questions waiting to be answered whenever you wanna stop dodging them. The Governor of Texas refuses to cooperate with any other agency, State or Federal, and sends those migrants, busload at a time, to places where no one knows they're coming. Is the Mayor of Denver doing the same thing?
