All the stars point to this: they are ALL a bunch of neophyte losers.

Not a keeper in the bunch.

Looks like Obama is trying to put the nail in his coffin...

Good piece today from USA today, written by a columnist who is decidedly anti-Trump
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...mn/2214003001/

Quote:
If you think our president is a “fool” who has “lost his mind” and is in the midst of “one the greatest political meltdowns of all time," I have some terrible news.
You’re more confused than Donald Trump has ever been.
Quote:
The current front-runner for the Democratic nomination, with his four decades in the limelight, might provide the perfect bull’s-eye for the president's patented psychological projection. What about former Vice President Joe Biden’s “gaffes,” questionable family business, possible foreign entanglements and history of race baiting? Trump will surely ask.
Regardless of who wins their nomination, Democrats are heading into what could be the messiest primary we’ve ever seen. And any of the front-runners would likely draw a third-party protest candidate into the race.

Outcasts from my Junior High School Debate Club, ALL.

When they are not banning things for citizens, and putting more restrictions on us, they are raising taxes to give stuff to illegal aliens (foreigners).

What is a "denialist"? What about some non-pejorative phrase such as "skeptic"?

She hasn't presented herself strongly enough as a leader, as a future Executive.

She comes off more as a neighbor.

She could have run for Governor of Minnesota in 2018 and probably would have made a better Presidential candidate in 2024 or 2028.

"Deniers" is a politically oriented term that alarmists constantly use to try to insult, denigrate and de-legitimize people who disagree with them for the purpose of trying to stifle discussion and the expression of dissenting viewpoints on this topic.

The term “deniers” is what people who have denied the holocaust are commonly referred to – as in “holocaust deniers”. By using this term, the AGW alarmists are collectively trying to associate people who have doubts and concerns about this alarmist movement with Adolph Hitler and his murderous campaign against the Jews.

Each and every time they do this, they are invoking Godwin's law, which states that if a discussion goes on long enough, it will eventually devolve to a point where comparisons to the Nazis are made, and whoever invoked the Nazis reference automatically loses whatever debate was in progress.

Since the common leftist name-calling slurs, including "Racist," "Bigot," "Homophobe," "Sexist," and "Misogynist" are clearly out of place here, they had to dig down deep to come up with an insult that was at least as vile and hateful as these other appellations are. The comparison with Hitler and the Nazis is what they have collectively agreed upon.

So these are the tactics that the left has devolved to here.

Deniers is a fit label.

There is no longer any reason to debate the reality of climate change.

Denying it is just as absurd in 2019 as denying evolution or claiming the earth is flat, or claiming the moon landing was a hoax, or any of the other absurd fact free denialist movements that reject factual scientifically based basic realities.

The science is clear and unequivocal.

I learned in grade school (a private right wing religious school by the way) that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that greenhouse gasses cause warming. These facts did not use to be controversial. It's why Venus has a higher surface temperature than Mercury despite being farther from the sun.

The fact that CO2 concentration has increased 50% since the industrial revolution and deniers think there is some alternative explanation for this other than the billions of tons of carbon liberated from captured dead sources and pumped into the atmosphere is beyond absurd.

Godwin's law threshold achieved.

And no, I will not be bullied or shouted down by you. Not now. Not ever.
