How many times is he going to go back to this exact same gag? Just loving over and over. Any money spent by any Democrat comes DIRECTLY out of the pocket of baseball hat wearing REAL Americans.

trump's border wall money come from heroic taxpayers doing their duty to help their fellow Americans. Boy howdy does trump know how to keep his hands to himself!

A friend of mine trotted this argument out today. If a man doesn't want her to have an abortion, she should be either forced to carry it to term or pay the man. Also the man should be able to opt out of child support if he wants her to have an abortion and she refuses.

I've seen this a lot, and it's really telling how they think the option for a man should be to do whatever he wants and always get anything he asks for and never have to do anything that might be a mild inconvenience. A man should definitely be able to tell a woman to get an abortion or raise it herself with no support from him, that's just being fair!

Of everyone, Bronco routinely makes me the maddest. This is literally the stupidest take. A doomsday scenario is happening to the doomsayer, and we're expected to think they're crazy. If AOC was a woolly mammoth in this comic we would chuckle because we all inevitably knew that would happen.

There is no reference to global warming in this comic. It's just a person holding a sign saying the world is going to end, and then freezing to death, while a newspaper reports how strange the current climate is. It doesn't help that the background is just an empty snowy tundra. At least Payne was smart enough to include people treating it like just another day.

If I didn't know who these stupid cartoonists are, I would think the point of these is to say that it's clearly not going to take 12 years for the world to end. But unfortunately I do know these cartoonists so I know they definitely don't think that a situation where it's colder in Chicago than it is on Antarctica is a doomsday situation.

They literally don't want to get it. People that deny climate science are doing so either to protect their bullshit pride, because of their political tribalism or just to straight up fuel their own greed. I refuse to believe that there is a single one of these mother fuckers that formulated their dumbass opinion after making a legitimate effort to understand the data. There is no way.

It�s hard to make a man understand something when his paycheck depends on not understanding it.

I do wonder about the psychology, though, of people like the Exxon scientists who knew climate change was real and yet deliberately sowed doubt about it.

Basically all national debate in America right now is about stuff I learned in the 8th grade or before. Proper education for all would have been a really nice thing to have had like 30-40 years ago when it could have helped current conservative voters.

You can also blame the high concentrations of lead in the air during their childhoods. Can someone remind me again who was responsible for that and who also spent poo poo tons of money trying to bury the science that proved it? Oh yeah!

Do you guys bother to read moon-landing conspiracies? Do you ever pay attention to people ranting about how lizardmen run the world? Of course not, because those are stupid and ridiculous nonsense. These people look at climate change the same way. All of them are old enough that, at one point, climate change wasn't taken seriously at all. They internalized it as a joke which they don't need to pay attention too. And no matter how much the science develops and the impact becomes more clear, they will not reevaluate that stance. Climate change is scary and its easier to continue treating it like a joke while staying in their safety bubble.

These are the same people that when presented with a lightbulb that is cheaper and more-efficient, they throw a fit because it looks different. Change scares them, and change pushed by !!BIG GOVERNMENT!! scares them even more.

Its always not caring about the future. Companies are loving stupid when it comes to anything that doesn't impact the short-term bottom line in a positive way. You give them a way to make a quick buck that will gently caress them over a few years down the line, they take the money everytime. A lot of environmentalism is beneficial to both consumer and producers because it creates businesses that are sustainable over the longterm without ravaging the planet. But people are short-sighted and almost always opt for what will make them the most money NOW rather than what will make them more money overtime.

Its the reason why government regulations need to exist and the free market can never be trusted to do it properly. People will ignore obvious problems in favor of making money, and while the "free market" will eventually cause these short-sighted businesses to collapse its only after they gently caress up everything around them.

To add to this, our economy is so hosed up because the top echelon of investors and institutions figured out it was much more efficient to generate a ton of capital driving a business into the ground over a few quarters and moving onto another one than it was too build up one business that will generate a good amount of capital over time. Businesses are treated disposable and their resources exploitable. It is becoming more and more something akin to economic colonialism.

Multi billionaire sugar scourge Michael Bloomberg is unhappy. And that�s because multi billionaire coffee magnate Howard Schultz wants to throw his latte into the ring. Schultz is taking a page from multi-billionaire Ross Perot�s playbook. He wants to run for president as an independent. And that could make things tough for Democrats, like Bloomberg.

---------------------------->

I think you guys are overthinking it and most climate denialism is just straight up tribalism right now. These people have spent decades at least denying climate change and admitting they were incorrect now means admitting that they were wrong for decades about a serious problem and actively made it worse. It is almost all about pride and ego at this point.

You�d think so, but there were memos in Exxon talking about how they as a company needed to prepare for climate change. Things like drilling under melted ice and the like. It�s very long-term thinking, but it�s only about how to keep making money in the future.

well technically a water/flying type

Garrison posted:

The lefty radicals in New York love abortion so much that they’ve decided it’s fine to carry it out even right up until the point of birth.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, signed last week the Reproductive Healthcare Act, which allows abortions up to 40 weeks to protect the woman’s mental or physical health.

“With the cheers of New York legislators and Governor Andrew Cuomo over the signing of now a law allowing abortion up to the moment of birth still ringing in our ears, Virginia legislators rush to join in, essentially working for legal infanticide,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America.

Their new ghoulish ‘law’ was welcomed by Governor Andrew Cuomo and others with great fanfare and applause. If the baby somehow survives and is viable, they promise to make it comfortable before killing it. This is horrific. What’s next? Kill old people because they are no longer useful to society? I’m sure the left would love to kill conservatives, too—especially the Christian variety. The left cries for gun control to ‘protect the lives of children,’ but they are willing to kill the most innocent of human beings to protect their love of abortion. Disgusting.

Hillary Clinton already stated that a baby isn’t a legal human being until after birth. Apparently she and her ilk believe a baby, right up until the point of birth, is just a meaningless blob of matter to be hacked out of the womb as seen fit. Of course, the Clintons themselves consider other humans to be blobs of matter for them to use and exploit or kill and discard as they see fit. Think of the Clinton body trail and Seth Rich.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is much loved by the left because she has aggressively ruled in favor of abortion at every turn. Now that she’s dying (or maybe even dead already), she needs to be replaced by a Supreme Court Justice willing to strike down laws allowing infanticide. It’s time to stop the evil that is the butchery of innocents.

UPDATE:

Virginia Republicans on Tuesday killed legislation that would have loosened abortion restrictions after the bill’s sponsor admitted it would allow the procedure even after a mother went into labor.

A House subcommittee voted 5-3 to table H.R. 2491, called the Repeal Act, with all Republicans voting to table it and all Democrats voting against.
