    a) the "primitives" barely survived, and not in conditions worse than what we're talking about.
    b) the Permian extinction was driven by climate change, change triggered by massive volcanism, but still climate change as the primary force impacting the planet and making uninhabitable for 95% of species. it also happened over a period of tens of thousands of years; we're on pace to beat that record.

    Yes, the sanctions were working..... because the was the purpose of the sanctions .

    the purpose wasn't endless punishment, sanction for sanction sake, but to drive them to the negotiating table, and set back their program.
    and it worked: they came to the table, and they made a deal, one that verifiably sets them back tremendously.

    and we didn't GIVE them anything. it was THEIR MONEY to start with.

    nothing to do with elitists, propaganda, or the globalist agenda.

    Obama openly talked and campaigned on drawing back from conflicts that Bush had gotten us into, and resisting efforts of conservatives to advance into all out conflict against islam in all corners.
    Hence, moving it back.

    Meanwhile Trump has openly wondered why we don't use nukes more often, thinks nuclear war is winnable, called for increasing our stockpile, and advocated for Japan and Korea getting their own.
    And you're f'ing surprised they move the Doomsday Clock forward some?!?!

    also, as long as we're dispelling the BS propgranda...we should address the other s*** you're peddling:: no he didn't give Iran a path to nuclear weapon, and why is it conservatives all of a sudden want to buddy up with repeated human rights violator putin after years of calling Obama weak for trying not to tick him off?

  9. the problem is, after things like Climate Change and Civil rights disappeared from the WH web page, people started saying "oh that just happens every transition period".

    Except then this new administration has ALSO done things like:
    -Gagging various science departments
    -asking who was involved in the climate deal and research at various departments
    -asking who was working on womens and civil rights
    -on his list of agencies or departments to cut is the climate research sections of NOAA, EPA, and NASA
    -also on his list of things to cut is the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ

    This is not merely normal transition protocol, even if that makes a convenient excuse to get people to stop looking at it and ignore all the other bits of evidence.

  10. A: the EPA didn't do it, the local contractor did.
    B: it wasn't an intentional act.

  11. in context, that thing you claim to be using, "leave a little bit" refers to the environment, not the EPA.

  12. this the same idiot who because the literal words "I would ban muslims" never came out of his mouth, merely and agreement with a statement from someone else, he therefore never said it and wont do it.

    to this idiot this: "I will cut the EPA"
    is different from this: "Q: What will you cut?, A: The EPA".
