My only worry about Greta is less her or her family. I don't think she's some front for some globalist eco agenda or whatever like some rightwingers speculate - not everything is a conspiracy.
Do worry about her though, it's a lot of attention for a 16 year old to have (kind of in the same way you worry about child tv and pop stars etc) and by her own admission it's ridiculous that she's having to go on a school strike and congress is having her speak in front of them instead of scientists.
Also Id, she's Swedish.
Agreed about fears of the climate crisis movement leading to eco-terrorism. It's borderline already there. They shutdown bridges and trains in London a few months back. On the one hand I get it, in that they want to see some tangible action on this before it's too late, and this stuff is the next step of non-violent protest, but as I pointed out to people by disrupting civil infrastructure you cause deaths due to simple things like ambulances not being able to get to hospitals etc.
If world government's don't do something about it soon it's gonna get worse. Both in terms of activitists' actions and the planet just dying...
What exactly are we supposed to do? We can't make anyone do anything and we're one of the best in the world.
The issue with the kid is she's a kid. Brainwashed into being a radical.

Is Trump offering military aid to another country in return for dirt on a political opponent acceptable? Yes or no?
I'd have drawn the line a long time ago but apparently this is how politics works. Presidents have traded aid for things for some time now and survived, so just because you hate the guy it doesn't make this worse assuming it actually happened.

You know the best chance for the Democrats to win? They need to find their Trump. They aren't going to beat him with anyone far left and they aren't going to beat him with a retread. They need someone to come from nowhere and galvanize the base somehow because none of these people are going to do it.

I don't see that becoming a huge controversy. TBH I think Biden has essentially a 0% chance of winning. I'd say he & Bernie are about neck & neck, maybe 5% chance of winning the Dem nod. I'd put Warren at about 70-80%. Barring something stupid or something comes up from her past etc.
As for Ireland hotel, consider it's also 'free publicity' he's getting, for his fanbase who may now consider a vacation to Ireland. As well as the Secret Service rents out floors, not rooms. When the Pope came to the US the Secret Service rented out an entire hotel (large one,. Omni hotel in Philly). I would think for the VP they'd likely do something similar. It'd be a nice chunk of change in addition to getting the HOtels name out there to the public.
Warren? You may as well hand Trump a second term. Her present is so bad there's no need to dig up a past.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say most people already know he has a brand of hotels. Sometimes I feel like you just look for any stupid excuse you can find to write something bad about him. Don't head down the mitch path...

Heh, this is Trump under control, son.
It's so sad it's funny. You have the most inept, unpopular and moronic president in my lifetime in office. I mean, how can the dems not be able to find a decent fucking candidate to run against him?
How could they not find one to run against him last time?

There is only one point:
You and Buzz actively worked to get another member banned for the exact same behavior as you partake in. In your case, the behavior is much worse, as you have sought out and leveraged personal information of other users as a means to harass, intimidate and extort them into silence.
That's it.
One person went on a racist rant. Just one. It wasn't me, it wasn't Flagg, it wasn't SG, and it wasn't ID.
I noticed you didn't post my karma list. Feel free to do so. Timestamps are a wonderful thing. I start nothing with anyone, but I finish things. And now I am done with you as well.

So.... Epstein. I'm inclined to think he had every reason to off himself, so that's where I put my money. But part of me thinks the CIA snuffed him. I have no interest in the yahoos saying the Clintons or Trump did it, but it's clear the guy was connected. The DA from the 2005 case claims he was told Epstein belonged to intel, and if you read what kind of sentence Epstein got, the idea that was true isn't a hard pill to swallow. Lots of famous and wealthy people into kid fucking - why wouldn't the intel community want that knowledge. Does that make me a truther now?
P.S. You got your wish, Buzz. So you should post.
My wish was that he'd stop doing what he was doing and engage intelligently. I'll leave it at that since he's not here to defend himself.
As for the Epstein thing, I'm much more interested in what he knows about who than how he died. I mean the Clinton connections to all these dead people are cute and all, but until someone can prove them I don't care about that any more than I care about the gazillion other conspiracy theories. It's easy to make things up that could be possible when so little truth comes out of all these government investigations.

I know you don’t give a shit about that though because you’ve made it abundantly clear repeatedly that it’s all about Buzz.
This is why its pointless to try to engage you. You are either very stupid or have some form of dementia. My wife is a juvenile diabetic. Your guy fucked her health insurance too. Worse coverage, higher deductible, higher premiums. She likes it less than I do...and she's been a preexisting condition since the age of 6.
So tell me again who was helped?
She must’ve been one of the lucky ones who was born with health insurance.
And i find it funny because under the old rules she could be kicked off for any number of reasons.
This still is really about you though. You, your wife, How it effects you directly.
I have personal experience with this on more than one occasion, I share those stories with you and you blocked at them.

Really? You are a true cunt. Enjoy talking to nobody with your bullshit.

And when Trump goes on his Twitter rants is he not being emotional.
And when our government separates parents from children...it shouldn’t evoke any emotional reaction.
It may be time to admit you may have sociopathic tendencies.
Your guy fucked my health insurance buddy. I didn't go on a years long war against him on a gnr board. We're all political pawns, I have been telling you that for years. You won't find one post of me supporting trump's tweets. Oh, and the law is the law. Change it if you don't like it.
Ok, that covers all of that emotional outburst from you. Anything else?
