Phew! Florida dodged a bullet!

The oath taken by every military officer, and I think pretty much every other official is to support and defend the constitution, against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.

And? They won't see it as fighting against the Constitution. They'll twist it to justify their actions as being FOR the United States.

An oath is meaningless. Sorry, but it means nothing insofar as this topic is concerned.

JPW if you are going to be a dick to me at least explain your point. Unless your point is just to be a dick.

Sorry, I'm a scientist who spent a lot of time in academia. I've followed closely anti-science movements like anti-vaxx, climate change denial, HIV denial, evolution denial ...

They all use that laughable line.

Seriously, do you have any idea what academic salaries are like? Or the fact that you don't get a grant then simply pay yourself what you want? Or that grants aren't for that much (in the big picture) and you're expected to produce A LOT in order to get it renewed? Or that study sections are anything but buddies yucking it up handing out the government bennies to each other?

Science hasn't changed much (for better or for worse). Society did.

Damn the GDP barely dropped. Can't bitch about this too much...

I say that because there is no constitutional measure (other than re-election) for DJT to be reinstates as president.

Saying this is as useless and stupid as saying "duhhh we're not a democracy!"

The reason they think violence is warranted is because of the very fact that that's the only way to get him back into office.

There is no low a Repub will stoop to.

Just wait until we hear about how much fraud there will be in SW FL during the stupid, unnecessary rebuilding efforts.

What benefit would Russia gain by sabotaging the pipelines?

There was a time, before society fell apart, when most folks ini those lines of work had scruples and integrity, and believed that truth was more important than politics. Now so many of them have sold out, heavily biased and are using their platforms to advance a political agenda ... ... .or just to maximize clicks for financial gain.we as a society have lost our "reliable sources"

Tell me you don't know what you're talking about without telling me you don't know what you're talking about.

Seriously, the above is absolute --------.

Privacy for that harpy? Pfffft hell no.

I've been through a divorce and it sucks. It takes a particularly vile person for me to point and laugh at.

I'm hoping the motion isn't granted. There's probably some ridiculously good stuff in those proceedings because I'm sure in private she's anything but a good Chreestian.

Effeteloser is gonna be pisssssed!

So much for Biden insulting "half the country."

I'm older than 40 and I remember lower temperatures and far fewer wildfires and droughts.

I'm turning 40 and I remember actual winters with snow from November until March (sometimes April) that was pretty constant and reliable.

Now, it's a few big events a year with golf courses open on Christmas some years.

Science has a lot of uncertainty. Climate science regurgitated by non-scientists not so much.

Climate science communicated by climate scientsts not so much.

The uncertainty is in the details. Not the major conclusions like you tools make it out to be.

It was deliberate hyperbole.

Sadly, assuming posts on certain topics are hyperbole or satire is usually a losing bet. Things have gotten that bad.

In any case, lets take this to the Nooner if we want to trade sh&* posts.

I read that this is the 5th strongest hurricane to hit our mainland in the last 100 years.

The sustained max winds (155mph) is an EF3 tornado.

So the eyewall is basically a 9 knot "fast," dozen mile wide EF2-3 tornado.

It's a shame. I was just in the Bonita Springs area for a work conference in May.

Guessing a lot of that area is gonna get hammered the way Ian is making landfall.

I have his App on my cellular telephone.

Do your bunny ears get him on your television?

So, hurricanes didnt exist prior to the Industrial Revolution?
Good god. No wonder you are wound up like a top. You allow bitter and hateful politics to dominate all of your thoughts.

You know why I think you're stupid?

Because you say stupid stuff like this.

And you're serious.

SurgeCam 5 on this cam site is insane:

Looks like it's dead.

Surgecam 9 seems to spend more time underwater than above.

Guess what this is gonna do for the insurance situation in FL...

Gracie is gonna be just fine so this is no big deal.

Those, including Trump, who walked away early with a profit will just blame "Biden's stock market" when the rubes get angry their life savings were squandered by investing in this.

And they'll believe it.

why SpeaksSoftly is creaming in his pants one will never know.

Because the root causes and planners haven't been addressed.

But you know that and think that acting like an obtuse jackass hides that fact.

It is a constitutional republic, and as such, is inherently undemocratic.

It's also characterized as a representative democracy.

But you tools know that and obtusely act as if the word democracy means Athenian democracy.

Despite that never being what's meant ever in the context of US politics.

We were not a democracy to begin with.

Another deep thought from boaz and msgt.

Don't hurt yourselves trying to think. It's painful just watching.
