So, if I rob someone with a gun, and during my escape I ditch the gun. It's found with my fingerprints on it. They link it to me. I can say "linking that gun to me because of the fingerprints is hype" and I'll get off Scott free? Sweet.
Looks like Idiocracy came early.
Idiocracy would be a substantial improvement over current circumstances.
Nope. We aren't going to have a President who listens to the experts around him and tries to find solutions to the problems. Idiocracy is a movie about a timeline where we made terrible mistakes in the past but are trying to make things better with the limitations we now have. That isn't this timeline.
As always (exchange between a climate science with 3 decades of his/her life spent researching the topic, and random dipshit1)
Climate scientists - "These wild fires have been exacerbated, and linked to climate change"
Dipshit1 - "Nah bro, it ain't like that."
Oh they know damn well it's like that. It's just that doing anything about it will cut into their political donors' pockets. I don't believe for a second that most climate change denying politicians actually believe the shit they are spewing. The oil industry knew over half a century ago that what they were doing is wrecking the planet.
That's the insanity of it .... I agree with you .... I think most of these climate denying morons are very intelligent people but they use their intelligence to evil ends by doing their very best to deny scientific knowledge and humanity in general.
In the end they are dumber than the dumbest most ignorant person you can imagine because they've used their intelligence to promote and protect the dumbest ideas.
Plenty of people actually believe this. There's gonna be people that just believe it, and people that are lying. Politicians are regular people, they just have a lot more narcissism than most people.
Somebody should tell him that "hype" isn't usually used to mean "plainly and obviously true".
The tone of the next 4 years
I think he was wearing a coat, a hat and had a shit eating mustache. If we split up, one of us is bound to find him and can holler so the rest will come running. If nobody finds the bastard within the hour, we'll regroup at the bar.
Somebody let's out a badly timed "Good job, everybody."
"Well you tell that bastard Climate Change that I'm going to find him and tally his Wacker!"
Get your BDSM gear in order folks, because the future is going to look a lot like Mad Max.
Though Antarctica is looking to be some prime real estate!
Why else do you think Trump wants Greenland and Canada?
Delusions of grandeur
oh yeah. hot and dry conditions are totally not conducive to fires. for sure. /s
