Well, California was supposed to go underwater 40 years ago. Huh...still there...

No, it wasn't.

So the libs lied again.

The climate change people? Who are you talking about? I would doubt it was climate scientists, but get me a link and we can find out.

Then you believe them if you want, I don’t.

That's in 70 years, not 40 years ago. So you are out by 110 years.

So you proved my point that all of this is just a bunch of overdoing and a big hoopla for nothing for the most part. This is the reason why I don’t believe the hype.

Nope. It's you that is saying that California was supposed to be underwater by then,

Point is whether it’s true or not you and I won’t be here.

Well, it's not a matter of belief. Climate change is fact and will affect you even if you don't believe in it.

Ok, I don’t.

And therein lies the problemfuture.. Make money now and in the future.

So be it.

Well, California was supposed to go underwater 40 years ago. Huh...still there...

No, it wasn't.

So the climate change people lied back then?? Unethical!

Some tiny overlooked insect or marsupial might survive to evolve into the next major lifeforms to take over the earth, but homo sapiens will be toast. We will not be 'fine'.

I’m not worried, I don’t lose any sleep over, I do think that we will be fine, but I am just not for this crazy nonsense that we have to give up some things that we all need, and I wouldn’t be caught dead, driving easy, I have a hybrid and that’s as far as I’ll go.

Well, I'm not worried for myself, because I'll be gone by then, but I have a daughter, and that's why I worry. 

Exactly, I’m not worried either way, my kids can deal with it if they believe all of this stuff.

*The thing is, we need to do something now for the future.*

But human nature doesn't get energised into action by warnings of the future, so it is a known catastrophe that will happen, because of apathy. We need to be less apathetic.

Well, tbh, there are more things are of deep concern to and that’s making money.

That solution ends with Manhattan and most of Florida under water.

No, it wasn't.

Yes, since I was a kid they’ve been saying this.

You won't be.

Neither will you.

I agree, unless we take action on climate change.

Then do it with your own money leave the taxpayers alone, if you want to try EV all day that’s your choice, but I can’t wait for this administration to leave office so we can get right back to reopening the spigot and drill for oil and use all the natural resources we have.

The difference is the US just surveils. China surveils and arrests

The U.S. does both.

That solution ends with Manhattan and most of Florida under water.

Well, California was supposed to go underwater 40 years ago. Huh...still there...

We had a meteor knock the crap out of it wiping almost all life and an ice age. So I think we will be fine.

You won't be.

Neither will you.

So is it the truth or a lie?

Don’t know, and don’t care, I didn’t take the vaccine. No need.

That's what you have stated here - so why is Trump telling you to take poison?

Heck, if I know.

Everything including the fact the beheading thing has been debunked by everyone including the Whitehouse that backtracked on it!

Sorry, i’m not kicking the White House word on it, and definitely not taking the word of the terrorist organization or the media for the most part, I definitely trust more of the IDF, and some of our intelligence that have stated other things

You have asked that before, I posted links to several articles but you have memory loss in that regard.

Then it probably wasn’t correct or irrelevant.

Context you want context Israel has broken every Accord agreement and is a vigilanty including ethnic cleansing.

They putting the Palestinians in concentration camps and executing them? Yes or no?

Which is: Israel and israelis can kill Arabs with impunity and as many as they want,

Or you could say, can kill Israel’s community as many as they want they can rape women, they can burn people live, they can be had children.

ignore all international laws, all agreements they signed and continue ethnic cleansing with your blessing.

It wouldn’t matter one bit, Israel could follow every law to a tea, the Arab were complain about something, they could give the entire land up, they could give half of Israel up, and the air would still complain, and would still want them out, from the river to the sea, no, these should not back down, should not give up, and I just do not see it two states solution ever coming to fruition, it’s just not going to.

No-one is denying that Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th. Most Western nations already recognised Hamas as a terrorist organisation before this point. However, we need to be very cautious when discussing the extent of the crimes they committed.

I would never take homeosis words on anything, So that excludes them from the conversation.

The IDF and Israeli government have a pretty poor track record of telling the truth.

Yeah, Palestinians always say this.

All claims, whether they be about "40 move beheaded babies", "Terrorist hospitals", or the latest "mass rape of civilians" need to be moderated until conclusive evidence has been provided.

Well, now you are taking your own advice when it comes to the deaths of Palestinians

They may well have happened, Hamas have committed other terrible acts, but

There is absolutely no, but!

October 7 didn’t have to happen, but as result, liberals and wisdom do not have moral ground of this issue.

don't try and weaponise unsubstantiated claims.

Liberals need to take their own advice for once!

American Rescue Plan Act -- $1.9 trillion pumped into the American economy, saved it from collapse, and reduced the poverty rate by 44%

No, it didn’t. The Census Bureau reported a rise in the U.S. poverty rate last year, marking the first increase in 13 years. In 2022, the poverty rate reached 12.4%, reflecting a 4.6% increase from the previous year, as indicated by the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM), which considers government programs and tax credits aimed at assisting low-income families.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act -- $1 trillion for improving infrastructure, created 600,000 jobs

Nope:

Inflation Reduction Act -- $430 billion invested in the future of America

Money spent on Ukraine = $77 billion

I like how you think that’s just chump change, imagine if we could apply that money to our homeless or our needy, that’s a lot of money to work with, we shouldn’t send any more to Ukraine, it’s enough.

Cut and run appeasement.

Biden already the peace in capitulated to not only Ukraine and Russia, but our other adversary as well, so that ship has already sailed.

The GOP doesn't care if Putin runs roughshod over Ukraine.

It’s about caring, he’s going to do it no matter what we do.

There's more than enough evidence to show that you don't care,

I doubt it.

and that you don't believe the federal government should spend money on social welfare ("cradle to grave entitlements" as you call them).

They should be cut, and they should be limited, depending on the household and social situation and needs. But a blank check….out of the question!

MAGA-logic... The same as "The COVID vaccine is safe and it works -

They think what they want.

and it's poison and will kill you too"...

They think what the want.

No, this was actual genocide- killing, raping, and torturing innocent civilians for the crime of being Jewish. I advocate tero-cide, not genocide. Kill the terrorists and their supporters. Give Gazans a chance to rule themselves and rid themselves of the insidious propaganda that has been pumped into them for 15 plus years.

Finally, someone speaking with real common sense.

Biden: Putin is a "Killer"...

Yes

Trump: Putin is a "genius"...

Yes.

I noticed you regularly avoid any real reply or comment in the facts that long before Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th

Because it's irrelevant in its proper perspective

Israel has been killing Palestinian civilians not Hamas but civilians including over 3000 women and children, including 1000 in the West Bank, including 2500 not involved in any conflict at the time!

Ok, so what does that have to do with the kidnapping, beading of babies, and raping of women or burning Jews alive regarding 10/7?

You are upset about Hamas taking hostages,

frustrated

but silent on the over 5,000 held by Israel most taken in raids on the west Bank held without charges in black whole facilities. Oh and one third are children under 18.

I want to know more context as to the reasons why they are being held. I'm not going to get outraged if keeping them is justified

Funny how you condemn Hanas taking hostages but support Israel doing the same,

I just elaborated on that point. Relax.

You have a very selective outrage!

Not at all, I just outlined my position.

Israel is a fake country anyways, created by the Rothschilds. What a joke of a reality

Here we go....

by not helping Ukraine you’re supporting Putin.

No, it means, I'm focusing on my country first, we gave more than enough, I care about our homeless and vets and this administration puts Ukraine over our nation and national interests.

Besides, a strong and friendly Ukraine would be an excellent counterbalance to Russia.

That will never happen, but then there's Europe.

This man isn't worth the title of a House Speaker.

Neither was Nancy, but hey....

Besides other failures he now wants to release only blurred pictures of the J6 "event".

Well, he can, he's House speaker, when the Dems get the gavel then they can dictate the rules the way they see fit.

Preventing prosecution? Appeasing Trump and others like that one? Sabotaging?

But when the Dems did it that was ok??

Most definitely all he is good at!

And more.

That doesn't solve the problem.

5 billion of toughening it out tells me a different story.

That solution ends with Manhattan and most of Florida under water.

Wasn't California supposed to fall into the ocean 40 years ago?

The earth hasn't had man-made CO2 for 5 billion years.

No, but he had a meteor knock the crap out of it wiping almost all life and an ice age. So I think we will be fine.

You mean Palestinians or should I say Arabs?

Whichever you prefer.

You know those non people you and the rest of Americans like you don't like!

I never said that, but for the record, I hate Hamas and won't shed a tear when one of them is called into retirement.

There aren't 1500 Hamas but that is how many Israel has killed this time around!

I don't know, I'm not on the ground, so I won't speculate like other people that think they know despite not being on the ground.

Before October 7th israelis killed over 6000 Palestinians half women and children 2500 during non conflict periods 1000 in the west bank no Hamas involved 600 by illegal settlers on unarmed Palestinians in order to take their land.

I see.

In the same period fewer than 400 Israelis were killed.

yes.

Who are the real killers and criminals?

Hamas, Iran

You can't possibly know that.

But you can say emphatically that they don't? Huh? Lol

You're right - it's not one - it's a whole bunch...

No, not one.

The republicans supporting a dictator like Putin speaks volumes. 

Shame on you!

Not one Republican supports Putin, nor do many of them support Zelenskyy and that's a good thing.

Climate change.

And?

And there are powerful interests don't care about that,

I personally don’t. I’ll be glad when Trump or ANY Republican gets back to drilling and with a vengeance!

How would you deal with climate change?

Let the earth take care of itself, it’s down so for 5 billion years.

Conservatives are the last people to even make that comment lol smh.

Well, you’re not going to stop it, lol, but the fact of matter remains, and that’s Ukraine has received enough money from the taxpayers, and I’m glad that Johnson, despite liberal, whining, and rhetoric is standing his ground, and it’s not gonna be bullied by the globalist Democrats to push for more aid for Ukraine, when the first priority should be securing our southern border, funding our police sending back illegals and focusing on our national interest and growing safety concerns.

Yup. A measly spending bill that they struggled to pass and only kicks the problem down the road to early next year.

You asked if they passed any bills, the answer is, yes.

Pathetic.

Then don’t move the goalpost.

Ukraine quite literally has not received enough because it has been impossible to provide them credible air power that can take on Su-57s.

I understand, ask Germany.

That doesn't mean the war is lost, it just means you have to stiffen your resolve personally a little bit, as someone not in the war zone.

I am very calm, but I’m more worried about my country.

Poor conservatives, womp womp. Always the persecuted victims.

We say the same about House minority Democrats, now you get it.

Hope the House GOP musters the strength to stand up to Putin and support Ukraine.

I hope they don’t, I hope they can push Europe to do more.

What are you talking about? The Dem's passed the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Bill, the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act.

Yes…

Since the Republicans have taken over the house, what legislation have they passed?

No they don't.

If they didn’t Pelosi would still hold the gavel, indisputable and irrefutable, 

No. It isn't. The Pentagon has told you that.

Yes! No one is listening to the establishment.

National interests, safety and national security rely on aid to Ukraine.security

No, Our borders and Israel takes top priority and is in our safety and national interests over Ukraine, let Europe deal with it at this point.

The US Republican Party continues to show their disregard for democray

Democracy? The silencing of conservatives, on social media, religious rights curtailed or surveillance their activities, two-tier justice system, representing and allowing one side to give a political viewpoint, using the IRS to spy and monitor conservatives

(see Jan. 6, and their unfounded beliefs that their idol, the cosplaying Floridian - a convisted sexual predator, won the election, while they continue to

Sounds more like an emotional outburst rather and an inaccurate description of the former president.

undermine voting rights in states they control.

Democrats.

The US Republicans, like so many other extreme rightists around the world, want to weaken democracies

Wrong party.

and replace them with dictator-led authoritarian regimes.

Wait, what and how would you describe this administration? Dictatorial? Not listening to their constituents and just doing what they like and then they wonder why people don’t want to vote for them.

Their motto: let's return to the 'feudal era, this time with those that have the most fossil fuels ruling everyone.

Yes, let’s allow China and India to advance their nations and we go back and regress to faulty unreliable renewables that need quite a bit of fossil fuels to run.

Maybe suitable for ladies in moderation but men need protein not high carbs which too much of leads to obesity, muscle loss and diabetes.

Well, of course, you don’t need to eat it everyday, even as a kid we didn’t eat them everyday, but in moderation it’s fine, but if you’re going to eat them, then they should be fresh IMHO.
