How did some kid with Aspergers become the face of climate activism. How is this any different than using the kids from Parkland as a shield from actual discussion.

Can you imagine this with any other issue? Picture some kid with autism yelling about  Iran or immigration. Who the fuck would listen to that, let alone act like their argument is brave or coherent.

Like ID said, the El Paso shooter talked more about climate change than Trump. I can’t take people seriously who think putting children in front of a camera making nonsensical and hysterical arguments is good, intelligent discourse. But it’s clear to me more than ever that intelligence and facts are not the tools wielded by progressives.

Fucking teenagers are their spokesmen.

I agree. I saw it last weekend and felt very underwhelmed. Bill Hader did a great job, but the story never pulled me in. Some books just can’t be transitioned to movies.

I do have high hopes for the stand on CBS. Skarsgard will be a great Flagg.

Sorry, I don’t think Trudeau should be sorry. He meant no offense, and no one gave a shit in 2001. I’m not going to hold people to new “standards” about who can say what  and dress a certain way. It’d be in poor taste today, he’s not a bigot, so he wouldn’t do it. That’s all that needs to be said.

The conservative attacking him for it should be ashamed of themselves.

Can we find out what was actually said before the outrage?  It’s not like career officials have lied and exaggerated the past 32 months.

It’s his prerogative as the executive to say what he wants and feels is best. Obama has no problem “agreeing” to the Iran deal despite opposition from his own party and no support from congress. He had no problem telling Russia he’d have more flexibility after the election.  So for me to get upset about whatever Trump might have said, it has to be worse than that. I have a hunch it won’t be, but the left will howl anyway.

I just don't think the far left will rally behind the ticket without some kind of minority present.  Two white people will alienate the far left that is enamored with identity politics.  Klobuchar is ideally lockstep with Biden and Minnesota is almost a guarantee for Democrats.  Biden needs someone to excite the base.
