Russia-Ukraine. Grabbing my popcorn now. I bet there is going to be bad people on both sides.

Commence fainting. Justice Grimaces As Obama Criticizes Court |

Nice try. 1) He did not criticize a judge in a personal-attack way. He expressed his opinion about a Supreme Court ruling. There is a big, classy, intelligent difference. 2) He was right. I challenge you to explain how he was wrong. |

I don't blame him. That report is pseudoscientific bullshit. Climate cannot be predicted. This statement is not controversial; "The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible." https://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg1/501.htm Long-term is generally considered to be 10 years and more. Beyond that it's just wild guesses. |

1) He criticized their decision in front of the nation while they were a captive audience. Totally classless. 2) The SC is the final arbiter on Constitutional interpretation of law. Not the President, no matter how strongly he may feel about it. 3) Presidents are certainly free to criticize court decisions. Neither Obama nor Trump are the first to do so. |

also that statement you quote is not controversial when it’s not cherrypicked and presented out of context. the text that immediately follows the sentence you quote is: Rather the focus must be upon the prediction of the probability distribution of the system�s future possible states by the generation of ensembles of model solutions. Addressing adequately the statistical nature of climate is computationally intensive and requires the application of new methods of model diagnosis, but such statistical information is essential. i don’t know if you understand math, but there is a difference between predicting states and predicting probability distributions of such possible states lol! are you that dishonest? or just an idiot parroting someone else’s scam? i can’t tell which one with certainty, but the probability that it’s either one of those is *quite high.* |

This, so much. Rather than saying 'this one thing is definitely going to happen, and it's bad', it's saying 'there's a lot of things that could happen, and some of them are bad'. There's several things that could happen with the climate. We're just trying to work out whether it's more likely that a bad thing happens than a good thing. (Spoiler: it's probably going to be a bad thing.) |
Quote:
yes, all we have is probabilities. but the probability of bad things happening with the climate keeps continually increasing. quantum mechanics is also probabilities from few observable states. still we got enough of a handle on those probabilities that we can make laser pointers for cats to play with. a bit like the old joke about the mathematician and the engineer. they both are thinking about kissing an attractive person. the mathematician thinks they first have to travel halfway there. then halfway the remaining distance. then half again, and half again, and so forth. since space is infinitely divisible, the mathematician gives up on ever getting there. the engineer just needs to get close enough for all practical purposes. |
Quote:
1) Again, I contend that Obama's opinion is correct. Argue otherwise. This is very different from a personal attack on a particular judge. It is NOT classless, unlike Trump. 2) I agree with you on this. 3) I agree with you on this. But Trump is the first to attack individual judges personally. Prove me wrong. |
Roberts has not been a good justice. Among his worst decisions:
Bush vs Gore, stopping a legitimate vote counting procedure, supposedly controlled by the States (until otherwise inconvenient) Citizens United, money equals speech in political campaigns Shelby Cty vs Holder, invalidating voter protection rules in seg states ( suddenly NOW the states get to control their elections) ATT vs Conception, again limiting States rights, again no states rights unless they are slanted towards republicans or corpos. DC vs Heller, again, no states rights if it goes against the overlords... Roberts is a bought and sold repube asset. Any anti trumpie shit he is spewing is just so much shopping out ideas for his retirement books and speeches. He ‘ll be lionized in the same fashion as the equally slimy Scalia and O’Conner. |
Trump told former Economic Council head Gary Cohn to print more money. "Run the presses, run the presses!" When Cohn's staff prepared a mandatory report about the new 2 trillion$ deficit increase due to his tax cuts, Cohn said not to bother. "The president does not care about deficits."
|
The Dems need to start shouting about this in a big way. The fucking deficit!! (But I guess as long as we have a tax cut NOW, fuck the future, right?)

This isn't an example of "polarized politics". This isn't "we're not enemies, we should get along, we're all Americans" HORSESHIT. This is CRUELTY BEYOND WORDS BY DOWNRIGHT EVIL MOTHERFUCKERS WHO SHOULD GET ASS CANCER — and I'm including both the administration and the jizzbuckets who said that you can put teargas on your nachos and that this was the highlight of their Thanksgiving. FUCK THEM. THEY'LL LIKE US WHEN WE WIN. |
