  1.  @Brian-kg4sh  He's kind of annoying most of the time.

  2. Jimmy will excoriate corrupt federal agencies, and in the same breath, beg for Med-4-All, which will be run by the same bureaucrats he now decries. Cognitive dissonance is very strong amongst progressives. "Government is corrupt. Govern me harder, Daddy!" SMH

  3.  @Nightwing690  He's a spoiled rich kid. Ask any of the contractors who did work for his father when Al was a boy. The son of a senator, Al's career was pre-paved. He is a prime example of the failures of aristocratic forms. Look at all the mediocre offspring of our political figures. Meritocracy always catches up to hereditary aristocracy. Look at all the 2nd-, 3rd-, and 4th-generation politicians and bureaucrats. It's more about who your parents know and the networks you build in college with the same 3rd-generation mediocrities as themselves. We're at the "Let them eat cake" stage, and God only knows how bloody the transition of power will be. One hopes that elections will fix it, but the Uni-Party establishment has other ideas. None of "my" liberty-and-limited-government candidates ever won the White House. Republicans are pro-war and go along with Democrats on social spending. Democrats are basically socialists and they go along with Republicans on forever-war. Kennedy's a big-government liberal, but he's good at reciting the sins of our bloated federal government, but he has no intention of reducing the federal government's footprint at home. The solution is not to elect a "principled/saintly socialist." The solution is to devolve federal power to the states and the states to devolve their powers to the locals, and the locals to devolve power to individuals. You don't know how good a locally-funded hospital could be because the federal and state governments drive up the cost of everything and MY town would have way better hospitals if left the hell alone.

  4.  @alejandrosolano7421  The Earth has been warming linearly for millennia. When you take out the fraudulent climate science (over-hyped hockey stick starting in 1978, when the general cooling during the 20th Century since the 1930s ended), and temps returned to the trend-line, you see the same linear trend. Very gradual. EVERY "approved" climate model vastly exaggerates the warming trend. Try to apply those models to known climate date from the 1900s, and they all predict boiling oceans by 2023. You're the victim of a lot of revisionist and carefully cherry-picked and edited data. As with COVID, "The Science" is politically driven. These same people were SURE global cooling was going to bring on an ice age, back in 1977-78. And no surprise, they offered the same authoritarian solutions as the they do, now. I'm a libertarian who's an avid fan of permaculture. The government, itself, is the biggest obstacle to my plans and dreams of a sustainable, locally-sourced way of life. The EPA doesn't approve a lot of the greener things I'd like to do. Government intervention is pricing much of what I would like to do beyond my means. Forcing everyone to buy EVs for EVERYthing is increasing the cost of actual, practical EVs for tooling around town. I don't want to see 250,000 expensive and environment-destroying cars from GM. I want to see millions of light vehicles for city folk to get around town. But a Tesla's too expensive for most people, and even the "long range" EVs entail a lot of "Will I make it to my destination?" angst for everybody traveling outside the big metro areas. The environmental human-rights cost of cobalt, copper, lithium and other resources needed for this elitist pipe dream are HUGE. And nobody knows how to recycle lithium batteries yet! Who knows when or if they ever will or what the cost will be. Meanwhile, Scotland cuts down millions of trees for its wind-farm madness. NONE of this is well-thought-out, unless you're one of a handful of politicians, influencers and corporations in on the grift.
