Re: US Politics Thread
All government social media accounts have now been blocked from mentioning anything related to climate change.
Shame it's become in fashion for government agencies to directly refute the President's direction. Did the park services release statistics on firearm use in crimes by type when Obama called to ban AR-15s?
We're actually going to have discussions on Climate Change rather than those in power simply handwaiving any discussion and referring to "alternative facts" like 97% of scientist agree. Part of that discussion will be honestly assessing the impact and what types of energy restrictions should be imposed understanding the full economic costs. Far too long has the discussion been "settled" to the point I'd wager not a single one of you can actually explain how it happens and peer reviewed studies demonstrating a clear example without trying to find a quick news article from google. Nearly all the studies are behind paywalls and if any of you claim to have access to said studies behind these paywalls, would you please PM me a copy.

Re: US Politics Thread
hahaha, OMG....how pathetic is this?
Trump's pick for budget chief was asked to compare inauguration crowd sizes during confirmation hearing
Fuck that is embarrassing... what a stupidly question to ask a person and to spend resources on that silly poster.

I haven't "been on" anything of the sort. But I notice all the Trump supporters (including SG) bringing up this "Alpha Male" non sense about our creepy Cheeto in the Oval Office. To me he acts like a little bitch, crying constantly that he isn't being treated fairly by everybody and acts like a big jerk. So I find this macho chest-beating from his supporters to be ridiculous.
When men act macho they are overcompensating for something. Usually confidence or knowledge. Trump is a bully as a means to keep others at bay and out of his business. That's how I see Trump: insecure and ignorant on many things. Zero interest in learning. An acute inability to learn from others with more knowledge. You may celebrate these things but I do not.
When I think "alpha male" I think of a "Wolf". I want a "Wolf". In football coaching, Nick Saban and Bill Bellichek (sp) would be Wolves. They are sometimes rude, but they are goal oriented badasses. They get pissed at the media, but love their players. They do what it takes to win. I want a Wolf. So far this week, Trump has been a Wolf. I want a wolf.
Makes me think of this video, lol
Re: US Politics Thread
Funny guy- woof woof. I'm sure he's a great coach, and that's where an Alpha Male, Wolf...whatever may shine. Maybe as a day trader or some other type of aggressive occupation that incentivises this type of behavior. But for POTUS? No way man. This is real life with real life consquences...not a sporting event.
Re: US Politics Thread
Honestly the only thing I'm surprised about so far, is that they're letting him stay on twitter;

Bullshit.
Typical bullshit.
This is a deliberate attempt to shutdown the discussion of the very existence of Climate Change. Exxon's own scientific studies said climate change was real. Not to believe, or try to diminish it's impact is a disqualifier. Like believing the world is flat.
It is settled. Period.

Re: US Politics Thread
Anybody notice how the GOP is suddenly OK with executive orders?
I am not okay but aren't some of these reversals to other executive actions ?
