Hell of a lot bigger threat to our lives than climate change at the moment.
Possibly most unaware post ever and that is saying something on this board.
I still don't know how in the hell these 4 nutjobs got elected.
The earth has always adapted....species have come and gone, ice ages and extended heat waves have happened, yet the earth perseveres. One day we won't exist anymore either, but life will go on. Is the climate changing? Yeah, but it's always changing. A few weeks ago it was 100 degrees in Lexington and 4 days later we threatened the record low. Weather is weird, period.
I know it wont happen... but that would be absolutely hilarious.
Especially in light of the fact that most of the illegals come from warm weather countries... and that aint Greenland lol.
I've even said to set aside a bunch of land in Northern Canada for them. There are enough natural resources up there to sustain a staggering number of people. I'd donate a few coats and long johns for the cause.
1.4 billion people in the world live at or below $1.25 a day. It makes sense we are a beacon for impoverished people and if I was in their shoes I would be trying to get to the U.S. by whatever means I could. I feel for those people but the fact is that there's only so many pieces of the pie to go around. Immigrants take jobs which in turn takes shelter, food, etc. from native born Americans.
I agree. We can't even move the needle by taking people in - there will still be billions around the world who struggle to get enough food every day. It is what it is. We have enough people here (veterans, seniors, those with disabilities, etc) that need our help. People in other countries are the last thing on my mind when I donate to a charity or volunteer my time.
it takes something like 3-6 earths worth of resources if everybody on the planet were to live the average American standard of living.
unless you live like one of those hardcore minimalist hippies in a tiny house drinking rain water, I don't value your spoonfed opinions on the climate but I'm really proud of you showing us you care by sacrificing so much drinking out of paper straws.
hell, now that I think about it, I don't value your opinions at all because they are all that touching oblivious. and i'm actually liberal bro

Going to be pretty pissed if we pay market price for Greenland. Just conquer that shit.
I think only about 50k people live there. Relocate them to Alaska and then we can do whatever we want with Greenland.
Truman wanted to buy Greenland in 1949. Offered Denmark $100M, in gold no less. Danes turned him down, and will turn down Trump as well. As long as they let us keep our military bases there, I don't see why we need to buy it.

A map from the Jan. 27, 1947 issue of TIME, illustrating the strategic advantage to the U.S. of acquiring Greenland
The article is accompanied by a map titled “Arctic Circles,” which shows concentric circles emanating from both Alaska and Greenland––emphasizing Greenland’s proximity to European capitals including Moscow.
Chip and Joanna can probably make this happen.
Obama entered office at the beginning of the most severe recession since the Great Depression. Unemployment was at 10% yet the right blamed him for the economy. Obama ran a $1T+ deficit, the largest being the first year and a budget passed and signed before he took office. But the deficits were in part to help stimulate the economy and prevent massive losses that were certain if the banking industry was allowed to fail. He also cut the deficit from $1.4T down to $500B, unemployment to 4.6%...took the Dow from 7,000 to 20,000…Oil prices from $130/bbl to $36/bbl
Do I hear credit coming from your side?
Even at slightly higher interest rates, the current fed interest rates today are still ridiculously low (see chart below). They hovered between 5% and 6% all of Bill Clinton’s term…between 1977 and 1990 they were never below 6% and as high as 19%. I can see every POTUS from the last 100 years rolling their eyes to anyone whining about 2.25% fed rates.
And to correct you… the Fed dropped the rate to 0.25% in Dec 2008 and started raising them in 2015 and were at .75% when he left office. Today they sit at 2.25%. So the rise in rates began during Obama, not Trump.
How many jobs has Trump bought with his extra deficit spending? Were he more fiscally responsible his jobs numbers wouldn’t be as impressive. I don't hear the right talking about that...

How did Barack lower oil prices? Which policy?
Obvious now that when she told Israel, "I will respect any restrictions" to see her grandmother, she was baiting Israel to either a) deny her again, in which case she would be in an uproar about that, or b) raise a stink about the restrictions Israel proposed on her visit and not go.
Talk about calloused and cold. "Eff seeing grandma before she croaks. There's political points to be scored!"
Not that Democrats or liberals or Dim Presidential candidates care but here is the weekly body count in Chicago. 66 shot 12 dead. And the beat goes on. Miss Harris and Mr Booker what say you?

The fact that we had a Black Swan event, and Huessein started his term right at the bottom, tells intelligent people all they need to know.
Besides, haven't you folks moved on to worrying about debt levels now... you know... because "Orange Man Bad"?
Huh?
I think you better go back and study up on American history. An economy isn't a zero sum game.
Also, any of those folks looking for jobs, send them to Nashville...just about every business around here is hiring. My employer has 1114 open positions as of today...that number hasn't been under 1000 for a long, long time and we've hired nearly 2500 people this calendar year alone.
I guess you didn't know that most of the Keystone pipeline was built and came on line during his term. You guys just bitched and whined about one small section that he blocked.
Ending the war in Iraq lowered prices...
They do want to control as much of anything they can tho. Which the govt isnt an expert of efficient in anything...so this idea that the govt is kind and caring is ridiculous. They want power over anything bc they want to be able to tax everything.
While Republicans certainly arent fiscally conservative themselves. The govt as a whole needs to learn to spend with responsibility not just turn to its citizens and take money whenever it pleases.
It's also misleading from Democrats that the middle class is shrinking. It is...but bc more and more people are becoming wealthier and moving up....not down. The bottom class is also moving up and the wealth is relative...the poor arent as poor as poor used to be. Still needs work for sure...but this constant negativity from Democrats that it's all doom and gloom and no one can function without them is laughable.

You're in the minority here. The one that doesn't understand shit.
What exactly did O'bama do to cause any of the rebound in the economy? All of the gains made were in spite of O'bama, not due to his economic policies. "those jobs are not coming back", "we can't drill our way to oil independence"
The economy rebounded from an historic low because that's what capitalism does. It grows on itself if not artificially suppressed.
Plus, O'bama cut military spending to the point he was about to leave us vulnerable to attack. Trump had to rebuild hugely and that takes a lot of money. Freedom isn't free.
Haha... while the GOP...at least the old GOP liked to talk about the deficit and debt and fiscal responsibility it has actually been the Democrats that have been the most fiscally responsible.
Well, arent Omar's and Tlaib's districts mostly Muslim? IDK about the other 2.
Omar's is were all the Somali refugees are...and its Keith Ellisons old district.
O'crazio isnt even getting support from her district. All of her fundraising has been from California libs.
I think we need to accept, at this point, that she doesn't even have a grandmother.
Somali "refugees" were "allowed" to settle there. Her getting a seat in Congress is probably the reason they were clustered there.
Good grief!
We spend more on the military that the next dozen countries...COMBINED!
Military spending declined from a high in 2010 ($784B) because we effectively ended a war. Not even Trump has returned us to that level.
I agree, we could cut some military spending (like why is there a local base in north Dakota- bc the states take the money) ...unfortunately it's similar to entitlement programs or any other govt program for that matter..its hard to get rid of once its funded.Good grief!

lol what the hell are you talking about?
Democrat states are the worst fiscally.
And your little map has nothing to do with the retarded attempt at a point.
Why do you think it’s the Democrats throwing a shit fit over the loss of the state and local deduction? Because the federal government is no longer backdoor subsidizing their fiscal irresponsibility in a way that doesn’t show up on your dumb map.
You’ve been around here long enough to have seen the point your trying to make about federal money going to states be obliterated at least 5 or 6 times. The fact you still can’t understand really is a testament to your shocking persistent ignorance.
