I'm confused. Is Brian upset because he thinks Trump cheats at chess?

Don't be mean to Brian, guys.

Trump doesn't even have the support of the GOP. He's an outsider who used to be a democrat. The DNC and now the progressive left got everyone's panties in a bunch over a lot of inflated hysterics based on a lot of misinterpreted info. He's not going reverse gay marriage as much as LGBTQ+ community says he hates gays. He's not going to round up Muslims. He will however do something about illegal aliens, but only focus on the MS13 gang types and ones that are felons.

What the plan is from the insiders I listen to that know him simply making the US competitive again. That means reversing the horrendous trade deficit we have. Using our oil reserves to become energy independent again reversing the Kissinger deal made in the 70's to buy from OPEC nations while forcing OPEC nations to sell oil only in dollars. As they start to sell in other currencies that deal is not working out. It was created to make other countries invest in our Tbills prior. The infrastructure will be rebuilt making jobs for inner city people getting them off of being dependent of welfare and finally free to be independent to seek self determination. The corporate tax rate will be lowered so they don't seek out countries which offer that, and actually create jobs here instead of China which has low rates and don't give a fuck about pollution. You see how much smog is in China these days. Prosperity is ahead, and the end of the new world order and technocracy of corporate unelected bureaucrats making decisions without public approval is over.

We are on the verge of ending globalism and entering a stage of interdependence at the level of the nation state.

I'm certainly delighted and relieved to learn that you know what Trump is and isn't going to do, especially since he doesn't seem altogether sure himself.

To be honest I'm less concerned about Trump himself and more concerned about all these really crazy conservative people who are being appointed to positions with a lot of influence.

Trump is a buffoon, a complete idiot who is not capable of running the country or making important decisions. However, he does have a very unified team of Republicans behind him, and that does worry me, especially when we've got climate change denial thrown into the mix as well.

Remember what they called it before climate change? Global warming. And before that it was global cooling. Before that it was over population. The more I've looked into it after getting off the democratic plantation of control, the more it starts to make sense. It's a means to an end where you blame human activity and attribute that to increasing normal climate change which occurs naturally, and in the end it's a way to control humans and limit industry. The climate models constantly fail. Many of you might be too young, but Al Gore came out with his movie which I saw in the theatre back when I was young and naive and trusting. The arctic ice was supposed to be gone by September 2016. Still there, and now more of it.

Problem is they just throw that term around climate change and attribute all weather patterns to human activity, which is really a joke, but there are those that push it and demonize anyone who disagrees. This is what the left has become. Cult like sheep. Everything the left was against more than a decade ago. Trust me, I used to be a leftist, and remember calling people sheep.

Horsesh*t. You're a moron, who doesn't understand the subject and you're simply regurgitating propaganda created by people, who make money from fossil fuels. For them - every day, that regulations on carbon emissions are postponed, is worth millions, if not billions of dollars. And you're the kind of dipsh*t, who will accept a comforting lie, over harsh reality, because at the end of the day - you don't give a sh*t what kind of world your children will have to live in. Hey, Jezzles is going to come whisk you all away, to Neverland, any minute now, isn't he? No need to worry about this sh*thole planet, then...

I'll bet you don't believe cigarettes cause cancer either, right? Because for over half a century tobacco companies used the same tactics fuel companies are using now, pretending that there was still a debate over it, when there wasn't, so that addicts could lie to themselves and keep buying their sh*t.

There was never human-caused "global cooling", that 99% of scientists agreed on, like they do on climate change. It was a fantasy, that people used to like to read about, so newspapers wrote about it for a while - just like they did with, say, Satanic cults in the 80's, that were never a thing. You're confusing scientific consensus, with popular opinions of uneducated morons, like yourself.

The cooling of the atmosphere, due to clouds of heavy particles emitted by industrial chimneys, that would block out light, thus lowering temperatures underneath - that was something scientists knew about back in the 70's, just like they knew about the possibility of global warming due to greenhouse gasses. But climate science was much less developed 50 years ago (A-DUUUUUUH!), most of the relevant data was still to be collected, so it wasn't clear which of the ecological problems caused by growing industrial pollution were going to be the most damaging half a century later. And over those 50 years we solved some of the problems, like improved filters on industrial chimneys, therefore making "global cooling" a thing of the past.

The same industrial emissions would also cause acid rains - but I'll bet you don't believe in those either, because you don't hear about them anymore, huh? And you probably think polio is a myth, because vaccines work so well...

Science and technology make progress and solve problems - that doesn't mean we won't have new problems to overcome. And stupid people like you only stand in the way, because you only care about your own convenience.

You're an imbecile and a dangerous one. I hope your children and your grand-children will adequately thank you one day. I hope they put you in a home, right on the coast somewhere. In a basement...

I don't think it really matters whether or not we believe in climate change. We should be striving to take good care of the environment regardless.

That's a meaningless platitude. In order to "take good care of the environment" we have to know what is harming the environment. If CO2 emissions didn't cause warming of the atmosphere - it would make no sense to spend resources on combating that effect. But they do. 

And the demented retards, who don't accept facts, but instead make up their own imaginary problems - like buggery, or satanic cults - they are not helping.

We already know that stuff is bad for the environment regardless of whether or not it changes the climate. If there is a cleaner way of doing things, we should try to take that approach anyway. Even if climate change wasn't a thing.
