Maybe it is just me, but these climate summits have been happening for a while yet very little seems to be accomplished. Mr. Peadbody’s coal trains still chugging past former West Virginia mountaintops. Climate summits seem a lot like Earth Day. Feel good for a little while, but there will be no sense of urgency until the officials at the meetings sit around the tables knee deep in water. Climate deniers, while in a vast minority in the scientific community, rule the roost in political circles, where money sets the agenda. A part of me thinks that Republican/Libertarian support of marijuana law changes in the various states is a cultural shift away from ‘religion is the opiate of the people’ to ‘cannabis is the opiate of the people’.

Thank you L. In reminding about Mr. Peabody,,,
If you’re a Republican running for president, and your views are too extreme for even torture-loving Dick Cheney, you’re done.
OTOH, Cheney is a warped, sadistic, greedy, hypocritical, murderous puke. If he supports a decent position, it’s for the wrong reasons.

Lord V holds no candle to TrumpDuck on evility.
Trump is making even Marco “Woman? It is just a vessel for the precious fetus” Rubio seem competent and moderate.

S’true, he is pulling the debate so far right and uncovering more brownshirts (“the noisy ‘majority'”) every day.

Yes, cause, ya know, they don’t have guns and ammo nor artillery to use.
That wankpot doesn’t know Londoners ….
I’d comment, but I can’t think of anything to say anymore.
Cliff Kincaid: Obama Is ‘Mentally Ill’ Due To Past Pot Use And Must Be Impeached
Cognitive Dissonance, the lack of an Irony gene, and a passing familiarity with Reality are common among low-effort thinking Conservatives.
How come Boy “Drug free since 1974” Bush didn’t have the same argument applied…. (one example from countless obvious examples of impairment)
Impeached for what? What is the “high crime and misdemeanor”? Any idea ….. what a cockwomble.
I’m guessing “high crimes and misdemeanors” means, in the nutcase vernacular, ‘the unwillingness to kick the shit out of alladem whatevers.’ Dubsy clearly had overcome his drug impairment because this n’ that . . . etc . . . plus he was a WHITE Christer nutcase.

I liked the HG Wells type of traveler … a cravat and tails, talking to the TVs … 🙂
“Be generally terrified of people who are dressed immodestly compared to your era. Tattoos and shorts on women are especially scary”
We have these people in our society already.
They’re called fundaMENTAL Christians.
The emphasis on mental is mine.
Time for the bumper stickers I think ….. there’s this and “You want me on that bridge! – (yelling “what are you going to do about it, whitey?”)
Bristol Palin thinks college students should be armed to stop terrorists, who will be Muslim even though not all Muslims are terrorists. Still has not seen the inside of a college classroom, but is very familiar with a delivery room.

The vicious, violent xenophobia that has become common discourse in this country by prominent people and elected officials is absolutely terrifying to me
Whenever I see video of Trump and the crowd that applauds him (WAY too often, btw), the first thought that crosses my mind is “IQ 70-75” — lower even than in the Bush years.
You mean when they yell ‘Duce! Duce!’ that part?
According to the FBI, the first two things your kids should attempt in any active shooting situation are 1) run or, if that’s not possible, 2) hide. According to Fox & Friends, Little Johnny needs to stand his goddamn ground:
