Matt, of course placating all of Fox's wishes would be courting  climate disaster.

But there is no relief in sight. The heads of industry are predicting we'll need 40% more energy in 10 years to build A-I data centers and crypto mining facilities!

We've made the long term  decision to court climate disaster. I suppose once we're spending a billion a day to just counteract the effects of climate change, something budget wise, will give.

Kind of sad it won't be because people are fed up with screwing with our Earth!

Sad but true.

And, if you want to stir up a hornets' nest, try telling a bunch of MAGA sports fans that, "We should have listened to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth" in 2006.

I tried that explosive experiment once.

- Donald Trump -


"We gave her (tMiriam Adelson) the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s much better than the Congressional Medal of Honor because soldiers get the Congressional. And they’re in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead. She gets it and she's a healthy beautiful woman, and they're rated equal." 

 

Bunch of suckers and losers.

How Trump's new gibberish speeches are alienating swing voters

by John Stoehr August 16, 2024

 

https://www.rawstory.com/raw-investigates/trump-gibberish/?utm_source=breaking


“Every public event since has made the point – Trump’s habitual incoherence is getting worse, and the worse it gets, the more he alienates voters he must have to break through the ceiling of 43.5 percent of the electorate. His acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, his interview at the meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, his press conference last week at Mar-a-Lago, his “economy speech” last night in North Carolina, and today’s presser at his New Jersey club – all of them featured gibberish so acute that he may as well have been speaking a foreign language.

His trash-talk isn’t alienating swing voters.

His gibberish is.”

A quiz:  Who wrote this without looking it up?

 

Quote

Persuasive guessing has been at the core of leadership for so long – for all of human experience so far – that it is wholly unsurprising that most of the leaders of this planet, in spite of all the information that is suddenly ours, want the guessing to go on, because now it is their turn to guess and be listened to. 

Some of the loudest, most proudly ignorant guessing in the world is going on in Washington today. Our leaders are sick of all the solid information that has been dumped on humanity by research and scholarship and investigative reporting.

They think that the whole country is sick of it, and they want standards, and it isn’t the gold standard. They want to put us back on the snake-oil standard.

Loaded pistols are good for people unless they’re in prisons or lunatic asylums.

That’s correct.

Millions spent on public health are inflationary.

That’s correct.

Billions spent on weapons will bring inflation down.

That’s correct.

Industrial wastes, and especially those that are radioactive, hardly ever hurt anybody, so everybody should shut up about them.

That’s correct.

Industries should be allowed to do whatever they want to do: Bribe, wreck the environment just a little, fix prices, screw dumb customers, put a stop to competition and raid the Treasury in case they go broke.

That’s correct.

That’s free enterprise.

And that’s correct.

The poor have done something very wrong or they wouldn’t be poor, so their children should pay the consequences.

That’s correct.

The United States of America cannot be expected to look after its people.

That’s correct.

The free market will do that.

That’s correct.

The free market is an automatic system of justice.

That’s correct.

And so on.

If you actually are an educated, thinking person, you will not be welcome in Washington, D.C. I know a couple of bright seventh graders who would not be welcomed in Washington, D.C.

Well, Donald Trump just lost the veterans' vote.

Last week he lost the labor vote when he said it was good to fire striking workers.

His Vice-Presidential running mate is doing everything he can to piss off all the women in the country.

He told Jewish people that if they don't vote for him, they're not real Americans. (candidates for deportation maybe?)

Kamala Harris is rockin it with the youth vote.

Trump and Team are running out of people to woo.

  • Newly re-hired Trump campaign aide Cory Lewandowski -

 

How could anyone not be excited to help elect this man?” I'm excited to be back on the Campaign Team to help deliver victory in 2024. So get off the couch and join us, the President needs your help.”

 

 

If J. D. Vance can do it, so can you.
