For starters, the US doing 100% of what it originally promised, it would make about 15% difference. The problem with these kind of issues is normally ...
February 25, 2020 at 11:14
Missing the point as usual. Your criterion was ridiculous. This and since we're not constrained by the ridiculous inward-focused MSM in the USA we're ...
February 25, 2020 at 10:37
Yeah, let's put a construction worker into power!
February 25, 2020 at 07:06
Your reply has no bearing on the point I was making except as to serve as an example why the US legal system cannot be trusted to judge based on law.
February 24, 2020 at 18:54
Since the blocking by Congress of Obama's appointment I've had a closer look at the US system. Since then I've been advising clients not to apply US l...

Old. Ancient really.

It's not a scenario but an analogy. Did the risk increase or not?
February 22, 2020 at 07:27
Sigh. Are you having problems with logic here? Why the hell should we wait until someone actually would use violence? That would be too late wouldn't ...
February 21, 2020 at 08:37
Exactly. And between het full gag order and the post it was proved the US is full of idiots, which Stone (considering his profession) knew or should'v...
February 21, 2020 at 06:43
Seriously? Stone posts a picture. Then a lot of people interpret it as a threat. The judge concludes after that media fallout that someone with worse ...
February 21, 2020 at 05:35
But that's not her stating Stone threatened her but that it could lead to threats to the judiciary and that there was nothing accidental about his cho...
February 20, 2020 at 20:01
Stone deleted that picture and reposted it without the crosshairs and then deleted that too. I can't find where the judge stated she saw it as a threa...
February 20, 2020 at 19:07
Yup. Moderate Democrats should take the long game view in this. If Bernie wins in the short term and he's "too left" for their taste, they have a chan...

One of the issues that has bipartisan support from voters.
February 20, 2020 at 13:41
Definitely. Easiest if you'd qualify as a highly skilled migrant and get a job in the Netherlands. After five years you could apply for naturalisation...
February 20, 2020 at 09:34
Piffle. If you ain't Dutch you ain't much. The Netherlands is already the greatest country in the world despite our politicians being corruptish.
February 20, 2020 at 07:22
thanks for the summary. All I remember from high school was doing tests in chemistry that reduced local entropy at the cost of a shit load of energy.

While we're on the subject of blaming. I blame the Irish for making Brexit needlessly complicated. So there's that. :yum:
February 19, 2020 at 18:14
I never heard of a leaker trap but what you described is a canary trap. Either it's the same thing, or leaker trap isn't a thing.
February 19, 2020 at 14:51
That's the canary trap.

You're not talking about immortality but longevity. The latter is not going to protect you from deadly viral or bacterial infections, so yeah, you gon...

Bloomberg needs to die. He's seriously trying to buy the presidency. At least Trump managed on popularity with republicans, however misplaced.
February 18, 2020 at 19:57
What about it? It's totally irrelevant Obama was smarter then Trump is. Doesn't make Trump honest, he's still corrupt.
February 18, 2020 at 16:56
Showers? You mean running water in general. Also, no central heating so bring that extra sweater.
February 17, 2020 at 14:42
Yeah, I noticed that later and forgot to correct it. I started writing the initial post by searching for him on the IPCC website and couldn't find him...
February 17, 2020 at 14:33
Your complaints about the IPCC are attacks on the messenger as well. You don't want to talk climate change because the evidence for it is overwhelming...

1. Mike Hulme was not and is not a lead author for the IPCC. 2. That quote is taken out of context. The IPCC collects research over various fields. Cl...

I will stop the namecalling if you stop as well. Your first post was a swipe at most posters here for having TDS. That's insulting in itself so you ge...

I'm not even American, you moron, so I'm not a "mainstream media consumer". Trump is corrupt. Clear as day from anywhere outside the US.
February 15, 2020 at 08:02
Indeed. It's surprising his supporters are still so deranged to actually defend Trump. A terrible affliction.
February 15, 2020 at 05:56

Barr : "shut up so I can concentrate on sucking your cock". Don't kid yourself in him suddenly growing a moral backbone.

That doesn't make sense. The Constitution can still be amended so can be subject to change even if it were incompatible with Communism (which it isn't...

They're not my arguments but those of Hillary and other "true" Democrats. Or corporate sell-outs as I'd like to call them.
February 13, 2020 at 15:16
We'll see. The MSM is now channeling centrist Democrats: Bernie is too left for voters, too left for my taste, he cost Hillary the election (no you du...

Missing the point as usual. Must be your age. Our politicians aren't so retarded to think they can ignore polling data about important issues.
