Bambi, the Earth heats up and cools down.

Duh.

Nobody contests that.

The degree of it and the consequences of it this time are more dire than the last time it heated up as much as it is currently heating.

Even if you want to believe your nitwit radio host that it is not man-made this time around, the results of it are problematic for the 100s of millions living by the coastlines of our oceans. The die-off of species is problematic to the food chain.

It is not enough to say "Oh, it will go down again; it always has." Between now and when it goes down again will be cataclysms and you? You want to sit by and say "it won't affect me, so why do anything about it?"

Your willful ignorance is revolting.

Marco Rubio of Florida as President, with Gordon Smith of Oregon as Vice President.

They can save the agriculture industry in the USA, and they would be good for America.

Marco Rubio (a) is not running, (b) has shown that he is a clown, and (c) has demonstrated an unwillingness to stand up to this president in any meaningful way.

We have a need for those billions to fix our military bases that got clobbered by hurricanes more than we need it for the southern border.

What hurricanes? These funds were targeted to upgrade missile systems from the cold war and our misadventures in Afghanistan.

---The Public Supports Border Security, Our Elites Do Not---

Shanahan said that the shift in funding would not affect the military’s readiness but did not specify the particular projects from which the Pentagon would be drawing the money. However, Washington Post reports that, based on internal documents, the department plans to delay an upgrade for its Minuteman II ballistic missile program, which is decades old. The Air Force has been testing a Minuteman III program in order to replace the nuclear intercontinental Minuteman II missiles.

Shanahan is as capable leader of the DoD as Rudy is currently capable of functioning as an attorney. They’re both up there with Sleepy at HUD and Dopey at the Energy Department or the walking argument against legacy admissions at the Department of Education.

Just thinking about a wall seems to increase the chance of American children being shot in school by 8chan addicts. It seems to be going a long way to making the country less secure.

American children being shot in school because of a border wall? Could you explain? It would seem to help keep violent third worlders out of the system.

That's atrocious, a young American school student having to feel like that.

There's no need for any students to die in school shootings.
Proper security...would see to that.
With respect...proper school security seems to be lost on American schools/school districts/state politicians/federal politicians/the President.
