"that is an EXISTENTIAL threat to the planet and its inhabitants?" Double-parallel question (a/k/a double barrel question) Addresses more than one issue, but allows for only one answer. Here's my answer: 1. The planet will survive - It may get angry and kill us all, but in some form; it will survive. 2. Current inhabitants: I don't agree with your response. There's enough evidence by WHO to suggest otherwise.

I got the second Moderna Saturday and was prepared for my immune system to get a little angry, but the only thing that happened was some soreness and swelling at the injection site the next day. Wendy posted if you drink water before and after the shot - it helps. I don't really believe that, but I don't need a lot of excuses to drink water either. The most refreshing drink for me is water with fresh lemon and I usually drink at least four-six quarts of it a day. Have fun scuba diving - me: Jealous.

I'm not tracking, but I will tell you my disagreement with the Paris Agreement is - it's lack of enforceability.

And so, #cookiegate 2021 begins.

That is WEATHER!! That is NOT Global warming!

You're right. It's an effort in futility. I think he's too far heels dug in to ever even peel back one layer of depth.

Ummmm... I posted THE NASA https://climate.nasa.gov/ AGAIN and YOU were in cricketville. Here's another - https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ I mean - what the hell does it take to get you to at least spend a few days reading instead of copy/pasting some populist bullshit.

Fuck me. You know in Kindergarten they still sing, "I'm a little teapot." But, usually by the time you get to middle school, you've learned to sing a new song. Keyword: Learned.

And . . . POOOF!!! Out the fucking window.

<Dr. Phil Voice> How's that working for you? </Dr. Phil Voice>

Sure, just as long as they fit within the decency laws. You are ensured the right to have a gun, just not a dildo, or a boobie without clothes over it. "Broad Personal Liberties" applies to the Bill of Rights which includes the second amendment regarding guns. Boobies and dildoes - not in there.

1. Well, why not just cut the tax for a short-term and not give a credit with installments? 2. Agreed.

I don't agree with that so called "Tax cut." It is a temporary feel good solution. It's a "refundable" tax credit. The government takes the money from the poor and gives it back to them in monthly installments - just for this year. Hocus pocus. What we need is real tax reform that helps those below the poverty line in the long term and not some silly, take your money, here's some back until the end of the year legislation.

And yet, every year millions of people from other countries risk their lives to come here. Of all your bullet points, there is one thing that does make us different. We can make things right. We can change. When we see an injustice; we can fix it. And, we have a constitution that guarantees that freedom of voice. "Lost in the chaos of debate is how incredibly powerful and insightful the original document remains, and the fact that in a nation where individual laws can often be thousands of pages and millions of words long, the foundation upon which they rest is a concise compilation of rules for governance that, with all of its amendments, has fewer than 8,000 words and can be easily printed on 15 pages of standard copy paper. The beauty of the U.S. Constitution is that no one had to pause to celebrate its existence. Thanks to that document, we have the freedom to do so, or not, as we please. We also have the freedom to fight over it, argue about it, change it, revere it, and support it, as we please. If there is one overriding, repetitive theme, it is that the citizens of the United States are empowered by broad personal liberties that are not to be denied by any form of government. As a nation, we’ve squandered some of those liberties in recent years in a misguided swap for security; we’ve abandoned others out of a lack of personal responsibility. We are often too eager to give up the power given to “the people” by the nation’s Constitution. “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish the Constitution for the United States of America.” Those words in the preamble to the Constitution should resonate with all Americans as we navigate the difficult social and political times in which we find ourselves. They should be on our minds when we cast a vote, when we speak out against the rights of others, when we allow our governments to take more power, when we refuse to make our voices heard. We are the “posterity” that enjoys the “Blessings of Liberty.” https://www.gainesvilletimes.com/opinion/editorial/opinion-beauty-constitution-it-gives-us-freedom-support-it-argue-over-it-change-it/ "Every country has exceptionalism, Greece has exceptionalism, Canada has exceptionalism . . ." [Obama] There's nothing wrong with being patriotic, Brother. And for those of us who've been to to other countries and seen children digging through our trash for their next meal, or other injustices need to remember that our values and morals find this repugnant; rather than a way of life.

Ban Politicians.

Jerry, it just keep getting better. The State suing the capital city and the city saying bring it on. Best part: Austin City Council Member Greg Casar responded to Paxton’s tweet, saying, “while El Paso rolled out makeshift morgues, you sued them for protecting residents. While Texans froze in the dark, you fled the state for warmer weather. Now, you’re going out of your way (again) to win political points, even if it costs lives. We’ll see you in court.” https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/i-will-sue-you-texas-ag-ken-paxton-gives-city-of-austin-deadline-to-rescind-mask-mandate/

Let's just agree to your always end game, so we can move on - Canada great; America sucks.

That's what you were saying, but not what you meant, there is a path, but there's not a path that's clear, which is what I was talking about, but it's not a law. It's OK; we got this.

I never said it was very clear or the process had been communicated well. I was refuting your argument that no law exists. It would help if the media did a PSA of informing instead of thrashing the same - doesn't exist message. I sit on several veterans committees and, 1) many of us just learned of this ourselves not long ago and it angered us, and 2) we're working with the VA, DoD and DHS to get the message out in a formal process. For DoD to have formal classes during orientation, for DHS to triple-check before deporting veterans, and for the VA to help ensure the process is completed.

Incorrect again. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/us-citizenship-rights-military-personnel-veterans-46711.html#:~:text=Immediate Right to Apply for,you get your green card.

Up until they go through the process to become an American Citizen. Incorrect. Every veteran I know will say, "They fought for this country - immediate path to citizenship." IMO: Issue the citizenship card with the DD-214.

Als ich in Deutschland lebte, gingen die Leute überall hin. In den USA fahren die Leute zum Haus ihres Nachbarn. Wie ich Volksmärsche vermisse
