  1. Republicans overtly despise democracy.

  2.  @hudson2441  The collapse of the Roman Empire didn't mean the end of Rome either.

  3.  @marks9865  Yes, we know that Trumpists love having the tyranny of the minority.

  4. If Republicans cease to exist, that would be perhaps the greatest thing ever to happen to America, and one of the best things to happen in world history.

  5. IIRC, Caligula didn't actually go insane until partway into his first year as Emperor. Trump was already like this before he ever became President.

  6. Forgiving Republican friends isn't an issue for me, because I don't befriend evil people.

  7. Republicans don't believe in evolution, so...

  8.  @elijahjames8837  It most certainly has not cooled. And "chemtrails" don't prove anything because they don't exist.

  9. Boris Johnson will go down in history as the last Prime Minister of United Kingdom. But hey, once Scotland and Northern Ireland leave, maybe he can also go down in history as the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom of England and Wales.

  10. Actually, while no Democratic politicians are advocating the abolition of the Senate, I'd say doing so would be a great idea.

  11.  @elijahjames8837  LMAO, "chemtrails". Also, your "Grand Solar Minimum" point proves that CO2 is causing the warming. The sun has cooled yet Earth continues to warm.

  12. The people in the so-called "white working class" who blame racial minorities for their lost jobs? They're the exact same group as the hardcore racists. They don't blame minorities because they're ignorant of how it's actually the destruction of unions that's killed their jobs. They blame minorities because they're racists.

  13.  @timothykozlowski2732  By getting more votes than the Brexit loons?

  14. That "promise" you brought about not expanding NATO never happened. That's a myth created by Russian propagandists. I'm sure the fact that you work for the Russian government has nothing to do with you peddling this lie, though.

  15. "Impeachment talk could oust more Dems than people people think possible." No, what could oust more Dems than people think possible is refusal to impeach.

  16. Yes, the hockey stick graph that's been proven entirely accurate, no matter how many oil and coal-funded propagandists say otherwise.

  17. So Democrats were told that if everybody involved in Watergate got prosecuted, that would destroy the entire Republican Party. And Democrats somehow thought that was a bad outcome?

  19. ck9292 The Iowa caucus has always been bullshit. It's well past time that caucuses be abolished and every state have a primary. I'm also not a fan of Iowa always getting to go first, just because it's traditional.

  20.  @roberthicks1612  You also have the not-so-rare ability to think you understand what you're reading when you actually don't.

  21. Jill Stein is completely unqualified to lead our nation, and gives credence to insane and dangerous conspiracy theories like the idea of vaccines causing autism (something that as a medical doctor she is well aware to be a lie).
    1
  22. LiftedSlayer Yes, it absolutely is a conspiracy theory. Your anti-vaccine crap is common nonsense.
    1
  23. It's not "industry-funded science" that you're objecting to. It's science, period. It's biologically impossible for vaccines to cause autism.

  24. The companies can only pass the costs to the consumer if the companies still exist. This is why we need a corporate death penalty.

  25. Maybe "trees will love you" if you increase the CO2 level to 1600 ppm. But humans won't, because we'll be extinct. 1600 ppm would result in temperatures too hot for human life.

  26. There's no such thing as climate alarmism.

  28. Travelwise65 It was Putin's corrupt right-wing regime that decided to start a new Cold War. Russia could easily just stop threatening their neighbors and there'd be no reason for any hostility. And it wasn't the mythical "deep state" that lied to get us into Iraq, it was the Bush administration.

  29. 3 million years ago was before humans existed. Humans have never lived with CO2 levels this high before. And as a result, we're on pace to hit the highest global average temperatures humans have ever experienced within 30 years, and potentially much sooner. The issue isn't whether Earth will survive the higher temperatures. Of course it will. Earth will still exist for about 7 billion years, until an expanding sun in its red giant phase consumes it. The issue with global warming is whether Earth will remain suitable for human life over the next century.

  30.  @silverpairaducks  Your point being? Trump-worshipers are absolutely the minority.

  31. The Roman Empire lasted for a very long time after Nero. I don't know whether the same will be the case with the US after Trump.

  32. In reality, the predictions have been correct and you're the one who's been conned.

  34. Why are temperatures falling? There's a really simple answer to that: they're not.

  35.  @touchtoomuch1000  You do realize that "super heated mantle plumes" are not what's melting the ice, don't you? Oh, I suppose you don't realize that.

  36. The models in fact have been right.

  37. When exactly was CO2 approaching 150 ppm?
    1
  38. ​ @tangobayus  Back in the Cretaceous Era, temperatures also would've been too hot for human life. And you're also ignoring the fact that the sun has gotten hotter over the 145 million years between the start of the Cretaceous and the modern era. It no longer requires 1000 ppm of CO2 for Earth to get too hot for human life, because there's more heat coming in to be trapped by it in the first place.

  40. You mean the heat wave of 1936 that only existed in parts of the United States, constituting less than 1% of Earth?

  41.  @tedbishop  You deranged idiot, the sun has gotten cooler over the last 20 years. While Earth has continued to get warmer. Also, the sun is physically incapable of going supernova or otherwise "exploding".
    1
  42. ​ @tedbishop  No, only very large stars (at least 8 times the sun's mass) are capable of going supernova. No matter how aggressive you are about it, you're still wrong.

  43. "Sketchy" doesn't even begin to describe how nonsensical the argument being used by Republicans in this case is. It doesn't even rise of the level of being a legal argument.

  44. Actually, the the elites don't specifically "want" climate change. They simply don't care because of their greed. They know their money and power will allow them to insulate themselves from the repercussions for a while, and expect to be dead of old age before that ceases to be the case.

  45. That's one of the favorite lies of the global warming denial crowd.

  48.  @roberthicks1612  There absolutely are already climate refugees.

  49.  @roberthicks1612  Given that the climate change we're experiencing is man-made, you're wrong as usual. Quit lying.
    1
  50.  @roberthicks1612  Just because you ignore the proof that it's man-made doesn't make that proof go away.

  51.  @roberthicks1612  Can't ignore what doesn't exist.

  52.  @roberthicks1612  It's been firmly established for over a century that increased CO2 levels mean increased heat retention. That's a basic physical property of CO2. We also know that the increased CO2 levels are the result of humans burning fossil fuels, because we can study the different carbon isotopes found in the CO2. The CO2 that comes from burning oil, coal, and natural gas contains fewer carbon-13 atoms than the CO2 that occurs naturally in the atmosphere.

  53.  @roberthicks1612  You see, that's the problem. You think you can just refute the facts by lying.
    1
  54.  @roberthicks1612  You don't have facts, you have fact-free assertions. The stratosphere has not cooled, and Antarctica was not covered in ice 40 million years ago. 34 million years ago was when the glaciation of Antarctica began.

  55.  @roberthicks1612  There aren't. You're simply repeating the lies that you've been told.

  56. Bernie won over the town hall audience, but the vast majority of the people watching it on TV are devout members of the Republican Death Cult and will never be swayed by reality.

  57. No, it's absolutely not a natural cycle that we're experiencing right now.
    1
  58.  @roberthicks1612  No, the fact is that self-described "climate skeptics" never display even the tiniest bit of skepticism. You're knee-jerk scoffers at the actual science, while blindly believing any psuedoscientific alternative explanations. Even mutually contradictory alternative explanations.
    1
  59.  @roberthicks1612  No, the fact is that global warming denial is what's based on falsified data and fake scientific procedures. And a healthy dose of projection.
    1
  60.  @roberthicks1612  And again you lie. The FACTS prove that CO2 has always been a key factor in climate.

  61.  @nomorewar4189  Water vapor levels aren't increasing. CO2 levels are. Idiot.
    1
  62.  @nomorewar4189  CO2 is CO2, regardless of what source it's coming from. The atmosphere doesn't care where the CO2 came from. It has the same effects on climate either way. And the current increase in CO2 is being driven by human activity.
    1
  63.  @nomorewar4189  And when Earth gets too hot to support human life, I suppose you'll enjoy that too.
    1
  64.  @nomorewar4189  The sun has gotten significantly hotter since then, so it doesn't take anywhere near that much CO2 to make Earth too hot anymore. And we're not talking about what's good for "life" in general, we're talking about what's good for human life. All of us are humans in this conversation, so one would think that you'd be interested in that.

  65.  @nomorewar4189  Ironically, you're the one being bamboozled by a scam to believe that.

  66.  @tjk9263  Abolishing the Senate would simply transfer the Senate's power to the House.
