You have no answer for me. Donald Trump will be the absolute end of democracy and civilization. Since he's sold the shriveled horror that passes for his soul to the fossil fuel industry and will therefore reverse every bit of progress we've made toward ameliorating the ONLY issue that matters -- global warming -- he may be an extinction event for all of humanity and most life on Earth as well.
Fascism is when people blend corporate power and strong centralized government. It looks an awful lot like today's corporate capture in our hyper-militarized economy. Regardless of who is in office.
Trump doesn't like sharing all of that decision-making. His tendency is to try to "make deals" and feel important. He is the farthest thing from a fascist we've had during my lifetime. Heck, even Jimmy Carter started the necessary deregulations to get us here.
And I say that as someone who really liked Carter and who really loathes Trump.
I agree entirely on the need to make some serious changes to the relationship between big corporations and the government. I disagree that Trump is тАШfarтАЩ from a fascist though. I do hope that his complete lack of anything resembling character will prevent him from doing the worst possible damage, but I still fear him.
I was too young to really appreciate Carter, but heтАЩs been an inspiration since then.
Project much? We've been living with four years of lawfare against political opponents, the censorship industrial complex, ballot harvesting, vaccine mandates - need I go on? So, how much worse could the "end of democracy" under Trump get, compared to what we have now?
You lie. Trump has announced heтАЩs going to arrest everyone who voted to impeach him on trial in front of military tribunals for treason. He wants all Democrats killed and has said so. His cult members routinely call for murdering all Democrats. You want everyone who isnтАЩt a cult member dead.
Karen, Karen, Karen.... poor dear, you're upset. Let me put it to you this way: the same people who told you all these years that Biden did not have dementia are the same ones telling you Trump is going to be a dictator. Are you going to continue to fall for their lies?
But I get it: as the old saying has it, it is easier to fool a man (or woman) than it is to convince them that they have been fooled. That's where things are at right now for you and your Dem buddies.
He looked very dictator-like sitting in that Manhattan courtroom. For a guy who could have called out his police to arrest the judge, he seemed remarkably compliant.
Trump is in NetanyahuтАЩs pocket, and Netanyahu supported and paid for Hamas and very likely conspired with them to allow 10/7, since that keeps Netanyahu out of prison and gets Trump in office so that Netanyahu can annex the West Bank and murder all the remaining Palestinians as well as his political opponents.
Thanks, you said it all about yourselfтАж a genocidal anti-Semitic conspiracy nutjob without a clue about science, let alone thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, fluid dynamics, differential equations or any other field relevant to тАЬclimate changeтАЭ
Karen, I suspect you'd agree with me that Trump lies about everything. But somehow, when he says dumbass stuff like he wants to be a dictator, this is the one time he's telling the truth?
Trump is going to start a war with Iran because Netanyahu will tell him to. If that doesnтАЩt result in WWIII it will ONLY be because Trump is a dictator-loving coward who will capitulate to Xi and Putin immediately.
He WILL kill as many Americans as he wants to because he hates most of us.
He was the only President in recent memory who did not get us involved in more wars. The hawks were trying to stir up Ukraine and Trump kept the US from getting involved, thus kept it from flaring up. He even tried talking to the North Koreans (granted, probably more out of ego than a sense of greater good).
Trump was more anti-war than our only Quaker President and Quakers are pacifists.
Abortion, for one. Thanks to him weтАЩve lost entirely the rule of law. Presidents are now immune from prosecution for anything they decide to call an тАШofficialтАЩ act. The end of Chevron deference тАФ a doctrine created by conservatives, by the way тАФ means that thanks to Trump IтАЩve lost the right to clean water, safe appliances, fair loan contracts, clean air, and pretty much anything that Exxon wants destroyed without consequences. YouтАЩre just fine with all that because the only thing you bullies care about is Owning The Libs.
Trump didn't take your rights away. The Supreme Court did. The Supreme Court is branch of government. Are you saying you don't accept democracy unless you get the rulings you want? That's not democracy, and it sounds a lot like the guy you hate, boogyman Trump.You call him a "whiner" when he doesn't win or get what he wants. So you're proudly just like him? What are your thoughts on Biden's changing of our historic civil rights law, Title IX on 4/19/24 with the dept. of education? He changed the law without courts, congress or voters involved. That's 100 times worse than the courts giving Roe. back to the states. Imagine if Trump did what Biden just did with another historic civil rights law. You'd call him a dictator. You call me a "bully." How am I a bully? I'm not interested in "owning the libs" but expelling them, since they are no longer liberals, but authoritarians.
You want to EXPEL your political opponents. That makes you a bully.
Trump appointed the Supreme Court specifically to overturn Roe. HeтАЩs bragged about it. He lost the popular vote. Also, the Sinister Six тАФ Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett тАФ all promised to respect Roe as settled law and then overturned it. Five of them тАФ Barrett is apparently somewhat clean тАФ are riotously corrupt and dishonest. I hope to live to see every single one of their decisions overturned.
I assume your objection to BidenтАЩs rule is that he acknowledges the existence of transpeople.
Presidents have the right to appoint Supreme Court judges. YouтАЩre just like Trump. When it goes your way, itтАЩs democracy when it doesnтАЩt , itтАЩs fascism. YouтАЩre a whiner just like him.
Oh how wrong you are. So youтАЩre telling me if Trump changed a historic civil rights law, letтАЩs say the voting rights act or gay marriage, to his liking, with a federal department he staffed, youтАЩd be ok with that? YouтАЩd also be ok with him changing the legal definition for an entire group of people? Like trans or gay people and mandating Christian speech, youтАЩd be ok With that? Biden is a man in the late stages of dementia. For his health and dignity he needs to retire. ItтАЩs cruel to allow him to continue to humiliate himself. ItтАЩs elder abuse.
Genuinely, it depends on what the facts are justifying the change. I think the Biden AdministrationтАЩs change here is warranted by the facts, and I donтАЩt trust Trump to appoint anyone who would find actual facts, but if he did, and presented them appropriately, I could be persuaded.
I strongly doubt that. Federal agencies are not elected officials by the people. They have no business changing historic civil rights laws. Biden admin set a dangerous precedent. The changes to my rights are horrific and a violation of my rights. The same could be done now by Trump. He could mandate speech so ChristianтАЩs arenтАЩt offended youтАЩd have to say тАЬ praise JesusтАЭ when you spoke to one. Like in Peru he could change the definition of trans to be a mentally ill person. He could mandate Christian ideology in public schools as Biden mandated gender ideology. And when he does this liberals will howl, scream and kick screaming тАЬ fascism!тАЭ
Alternatively, a much greater risk to our survival is the hot wars with both Russia and Iran that Biden has sleepwalked us to the brink of. The risk of nuclear war is orders of magnitude greater than the risk of a slight rise in global temperatures. Have you done any research on the subject outside of reading the NYT? You know much less than you think you do, and would be will served by setting aside your righteous certainty and giving the тАЬdeniersтАЭ a fair hearing on the merits.
There is not one single reputable climatologist who denies that carbon emissions are killing the planet. The ones you listen to are all whores for the fossil fuel industry.
Do you think that one windmill or solar farm, would be built if it wasn't for government subsidies. You're more of a whore simping for the climate doomsday religion.
Highways are nothing but subsidies for carmakers and oil companies, that keep us dependent on cars instead of trains. Oil and coal companies get truly epic levels of tax breaks which amount to subsidies. Why not take those out and see how well fossil fuels survive?
Wind and solar farms have one thing that no fossil fuel plant has: the cost of fuel for them is ZERO. They are cheap to build and operate. Subsidies only help them get started, just like any other power plant. Once they get up and running they are almost entirely pure profit. (And yes, I DO know a lot about this industry.)
If the cost is zero, why does your bill go up by half? If it's good for the environment why do the source materials come from places that don't have environmental rules? If it's a crime to kill certain wildlife, why do these companies get special kill permits? When a windmill self destructs and spews oil and diesel over the place, why are there no environmental concerns? When the suns not shining and the wind is not blowing where does the electricity come from? Your whole construct is contrived in fantasy and what-if scenario's. If you where honestly seeking zero emissions, you would be pushing nuclear energy.
I do support nuclear energy, but the rest of your list is easily answered. On the first one, because private corporations get rate increases based on fossil fuel cost increases and charge you for it even when they donтАЩt need it. Buildings kill more wildlife by orders of magnitude than wind turbines do, and turbines spill a tiny fraction of the oil than actual oil wells do. (I live in Texas and I used to work for the Texas Railroad Commission. I know from oil spills.)
All of this is available on the internet if you look at places other than TaibbiтАЩs right wing echo chamber.
So, if they can get killed by other means it's okie dokie. You think the wind and solar corporations are not private corporations. Duh. One thing you didn't address is the massive environmental disasters taking place in third world countries. Or, that's okay because they're poor and stupid. Oh, what echo chamber do you claim?
Each wind turbine contains roughly 800,000 pounds of steel produced by fossil fuels, is hauled piece by piece down the highway to the install site by diesel trucks, is maintained by people driving gas/diesel powered trucks, etc. And when, after their roughly 20 year lifespan in which they spent a good deal of the time not turning, these wind turbines are dismantled and hauled away by gas/diesel powered vehicles. It's all for show, Karen--that, and a tax write off.
Admit it, Karen--you've been punked--again. When are you going to wake up?
Wind turbines require 600 to 800 cubic meters of cement for anchor, which exudes CO2 as it cures. The ROE on a wind turbine is 55 years. If it's only going to last 20 years, it's probably time to just cut our losses. Why is it that "looking" like you're doing something for the environment is better than ACTUALLY doing something?
How much steel does an oil field, coal mine, or a refinery use? What fuel do the trucks that haul their products use? In the 20 years a wind turbine is working, how much fossil fuel is necessary to maintain it and can you compare that to what is required to keep a refinery or coal-powered electricity generator would use?
So let's review. Carbon emissions have increased dramatically over the last ten years, but surface temperatures have not. As for "killing the planet," none of your "reputable climatologists" actually say that. Their "claim" is that carbon emissions are warming the planet, which is not the same thing at all. But you don't have to put your faith in any particular climatologist. Just look at the four large scale ice core studies done in different parts of the world. They show a long term downtrend in surface temperatures for the last 11,000 years or so (since the end of the last ice age). Long tern trends are more likely to continue than to reverse. But in this case, we may want to consider wanting the long term trend to have reversed, or at least to have taken a sideways pause, because the alternative - a resumption in the long term downtrend, actually might kill the planet.
Civilization depends on a stable agriculture. Crops require a VERY narrow band of temperatures and light hours which global warming is destroying. Crop yields have been falling for 25 years. Pests and crop diseases love the increased temperatures. Fossil fuels are guaranteeing the end of civilization within 50 years.
We've long been growing more than enough food to feed everyone. There's never been an overpopulation problem. There has just been human-created scarcity because scarcity drives profits.
The moving is a REAL problem though, especially for orchard crops. Pollinators DONтАЩT move easily while pests and diseases are highly mobile. Keeping things stable is always our best option.
Scarcity absolutely does drive profits and industrial agriculture needs some SERIOUS reforms. Republicans wonтАЩt do any of that, however, because theyтАЩre more deeply in the pocket of Big Ag than even the few remaining Great Plains Dems. (We Dems are the party of organic food eating hippies and free range chickeng Wine Moms.)
The cognitive dissonance is incredible. Won't touch any produce made with pesticides/herbicides (a sentiment I wholly agree with, by the way. My family only eats organic.) But I would guess you had no problem at all lining up for multiple injections of the experimental gene therapy.
People genuinely think global warming is a threat? After the goalpost shifts in predictions just in my lifetime itтАЩs pretty clear itтАЩs absolute bullshit.
Indeed, as explained by Greta Thunberg in June, 2018, a top climate scientist expects humanity to be wiped out if it doesn't stop using fossil fuels within 5 years. Oops!
Not even PV = nRT or the Second Law of Thermodynamics (which explains to everyone except John Kerry why chemical reactions, like battery charging, are inhibited when the temperature drops)?
Karen are you a man who couldn't get hired as a gas station attendant in Oregon? You're kinda giving off those desperation fumes. Oh, for future reference, no woman uses the word Whore in the way you do, so maybe work on the XX vocab.
Joe Biden is a war pig. 500,000 dead Ukrainians. They are now abducting old people and mentally incompetant men off the street and forcing them to fight. All so Joey and his corrupt pals can expand NATO and take more kickbacks from $LMT, $RTX, $JPM, $BLK et al.
Wrong again, it was the great family man, Joe Biden. Google "Tara Reade", and think back a couple years ago to when you were screaming "BELIEVE ALL WOMEN".
The name is too perfect to be real.
It's a bot. I would bet on it.
You have no answer for me. Donald Trump will be the absolute end of democracy and civilization. Since he's sold the shriveled horror that passes for his soul to the fossil fuel industry and will therefore reverse every bit of progress we've made toward ameliorating the ONLY issue that matters -- global warming -- he may be an extinction event for all of humanity and most life on Earth as well.
Yes just like last time he was President. I remember it well. We all died and now we're all going to die again!
God help us all if he starts pulling us out of forever wars. What will our retired generals do when their armament stocks get pruned?
Trump has absolutely NO intention of getting us out of any wars except possibly ones against his dictator friends.
Trump will rule as the fascist he always was and you will cheer him like the bully lickspittles all of you are.
Fascism is when people blend corporate power and strong centralized government. It looks an awful lot like today's corporate capture in our hyper-militarized economy. Regardless of who is in office.
Trump doesn't like sharing all of that decision-making. His tendency is to try to "make deals" and feel important. He is the farthest thing from a fascist we've had during my lifetime. Heck, even Jimmy Carter started the necessary deregulations to get us here.

I was too young to really appreciate Carter, but heтАЩs been an inspiration since then.
Too young. Indeed.
Thank you for this post.
He says he wants to be a dictator on day one. Yeah, I know you all say thatтАЩs a joke, but itтАЩs the same kind as making a bomb joke in an airport.
Project much? We've been living with four years of lawfare against political opponents, the censorship industrial complex, ballot harvesting, vaccine mandates - need I go on? So, how much worse could the "end of democracy" under Trump get, compared to what we have now?
You have a long list of horribles but never state that Trump will NOT be a dictator. Either heтАЩs going to be no better or catastrophically worse.
Trump will not be a dictator. Yeah, I said it.
You lie. Trump has announced heтАЩs going to arrest everyone who voted to impeach him on trial in front of military tribunals for treason. He wants all Democrats killed and has said so. His cult members routinely call for murdering all Democrats. You want everyone who isnтАЩt a cult member dead.
Karen, Karen, Karen.... poor dear, you're upset. Let me put it to you this way: the same people who told you all these years that Biden did not have dementia are the same ones telling you Trump is going to be a dictator. Are you going to continue to fall for their lies?

TRUMP and the Heritage Foundation told me Trump was going to be a dictator.
Trump will undo all of those things in my list. If you don't believe that, then the only reply is to say "OK Karen."
He looked very dictator-like sitting in that Manhattan courtroom. For a guy who could have called out his police to arrest the judge, he seemed remarkably compliant.
HeтАЩs out of office. The minute he gets back, he will either arrest or kill everyone who voted against him.
Trump is the most evil person on Earth.
Funny!
"Trump is the most evil person on Earth"
More evil than your Hamasshole friends that did the Oct 7 atrocities?
Anything more you want to tell about yourself, Karen?
Trump is in NetanyahuтАЩs pocket, and Netanyahu supported and paid for Hamas and very likely conspired with them to allow 10/7, since that keeps Netanyahu out of prison and gets Trump in office so that Netanyahu can annex the West Bank and murder all the remaining Palestinians as well as his political opponents.

Does anyone else see the humor?
ItтАЩs PoeтАЩs Law in action.
It's only funny if you're in 3rd grade and your parents are white nationalists---even then it shouldn't draw more than a low chuckle.
Take a survey.
I can't, all of my canvassers defected to the Trump campaign after the last debate.
Satire?
Karen, I suspect you'd agree with me that Trump lies about everything. But somehow, when he says dumbass stuff like he wants to be a dictator, this is the one time he's telling the truth?
On this, yes. He and his supporters are all fans of dictators and authoritarians. His only motivation is revenge and the infliction of pain on others.
Trump is entirely without one single redeeming quality. He is he incarnation of evil.
"All." The final refuge of the hapless and the uninformed. Grow up.
The TSA seems to only be capable of detecting humor, not bombs.
Trump is going to start a war with Iran because Netanyahu will tell him to. If that doesnтАЩt result in WWIII it will ONLY be because Trump is a dictator-loving coward who will capitulate to Xi and Putin immediately.

Imagine that, no more censorship ("where did COVID come from?" can finally be asked, and answered).
No more compelled speech so a bearded dude in a dress can be called "Mr/Sir" again.
People will complain at school board meetings without getting referred to the FBI as domestic terrorists.
