Limbaugh had a saying about climate change that proved how foolish he was as a thinker


To paraphrase, he used to say that Liberals were “arrogant to think that humans had the power to change the climate, that the earth was so huge, and that humans were so small in the scheme of nature they couldn't possibly have the power to affect climate”.

The real arrogance of course is in the belief that we as humans can do whatever we like to the atmosphere and never have to pay a price. And, that at the very least, we should er on the side of caution.

I bring this up because I've heard Limbaugh's foolishness parroted by several climate change deniers recently. They like to state it as some type of philosophical gotcha.

Sadly, it will take many years to undo the damage that fool has done.

A one clown circus with trading cards

It's been good for a laugh these last couple days, but when you think about it, Trump's tacky trading cards are really a spit in the face to America. This idiot, who thinks he should be on trading cards depicted as a super hero, was actually a former president. How disturbing is that?

My only hope is that Freepers are going to continue to turn from him.

The best thing about Trump's "Major announcement"...

besides the laugh, was the way all the righties were speculating about it being something serious.

I heard everything from "he's going to announce his running mate" to "he's going to announce he'll be speaker of the house".

So when the Repubs start having probes and they go nowhere...

Are they going to ever stop and realize they are the real witch hunters?

I'm so sick of them lying about the Keystone Pipeline

They are still doing it: claiming that Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline. It has always been a cleverly worded lie. There are two things to remember when you hear this lie.

1) Biden never shut down any existing pipeline. He merely canceled a permit for a propossed extension called the XL. The XL was going nowhere because it was being chalenged on the state level. One of the reasons was because it would have put valuable water supplies at risk.


2) Since the XL had never been built, it has never had an impact on our energy supply. The way the Biden haters make it sound, you would think the XL was our main source of oil.

I can't stand liars. The problem is you have to work hard and hope they listen when you udebunk their talking points. Their lying is easy and quick.

I finally met one last night

I had an asshole tell me that he thought Putin would make a better leader than Biden. He said "Brandon" but I knew what he meant.

I knew there were people out there siding with Putin over Ukraine, but I had never actually met one that desired Putin as a leader.

This moron claimed he liked Putin because he was "more of a Capitalist than Marxist Brandon."

I felt like punching the fool, but didn't because I'm a peaceful man.

Not that long ago such a statement would have been totally unheard. It would have been considered unpatriotic, even treasonous. Now, morons sit on barstools and proclaim their desire for dictators.

This is not the America I grew up in.

I am literally losing sleep over the attack on Paul Pelosi

I hate to admit it. I usually don't let things get to me this much, but it's 4 AM and I haven't slept well at all. I keep thinking of how f'd up things are in this country politically. Never before have I known so many people to be brainwashed to hate.

Can we think of DeSantis as a "coyote"?

When it comes to immigration, the term "coyote" just may fit DeSantis after his recent stunt.

Consider:

Coyotes take advantage of vulnerable people seeking refuge in America.

Coyotes do this for their own personal gain.

Coyotes notoriously lie to their victims.

Coyotes arrange for their victims' transportation, and often leave them stranded.

Coyotes don't really give a damn about the people they use as long as they get what they want.
