President-elect Trump

Or not.

I hope there is a round two, it is illuminating!

Pay me 1.5 million/year, and I might be tempted to claim

This is science. It doesn't matter one iota who makes a claim, it only matters what is verifiable.

Only most of the time.

That hill is just a bubble - like what you see when you're frying up your morning pancakes. In the vast time and space of the universe, the earth is as flat as a frisbee flying into the dark hole of your dog's mouth. I have spoken. Can I have my 1.5 mil now?

Round 2 side one

This is the actual scientific debate going on, over the validity of this data set. It's pretty cool no matter what you care to believe.

Trump on civil forfeiture:

Sheriff Harold Eavenson of Rockwall County, Tex., brought up the issue of civil asset forfeiture, which allows authorities to seize cash and property from people suspected, but in some cases never convicted or even charged, with a crime.

Eavenson told Trump of a “state senator in Texas that was talking about legislation to require conviction before we could receive that forfeiture money.”

“Can you believe that?” Trump interjected.

“And,” Eavenson went on, “I told him that the cartel would build a monument to him in Mexico if he could get that legislation passed.”

“Who's the state senator?” Trump asked. “Do you want to give his name? We'll destroy his career,” he joked, to laughter from the law enforcement officials in the room.

Eavenson did not share the senator's name.

Not that there's much fight against civil forfeiture from most politicians...

After all these years I thought we were able to bridge the gap and still be adults, discuss our differences and remain civil. Guess I was mistaken.

I didn't disappear. I blocked you. You insulted my friends for their comments about their very real fears.
So fuck you as well and take that bridge and shove it in YOUR gap.

Thanks.

How's that going?

Let me google that for you.

But that just gives me 26,700,000 fake left wing sites.

NY Time, Newsweek, Forbes magazine, CNN, BBC, IEEE, NOAA, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Applied Physics, Deutsche Welle, American Chemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Society for Microbiology, American Statistical Association, The Oceanography Society, Woods Hole Research Center, and Scientific American magazine are all fake news.

An example:

An E.P.A. website once titled “Climate and Energy Resources for State, Local and Tribal Governments,” which included prominent links to programs like “Climate Showcase Communities,” now contains no mention of the term “climate change” and no prominent links to state and local climate information.

Anyone who called Trump a liar must be a liberal promoting fake news. Wacko right wing extremists have told us. So it must be true.

This world's greatest institutions are all promoting fake news. Or maybe Saddam did not have WMDs? Of course he did. Wacko right wing fanatics would not lie and kill 5000 American servicemen for no purpose. Wacko extremists have tepid integrity.

Yup, all left wing fake news sites controlled by Soros.
