The so-called climate scientists have reduced the complicated coupled system that is climate to one variable
Bullshit
Apparently, NASA's instruments don't see variability in the output of the Sun
Utter bullshit, there's a thing called "space weather" which is mostly about variability in the output of the Sun. You have been very badly misinformed or are deliberately spreading lies. Which of those two is it?
The real hoax was that climate is constant, predictable, and controllable
The climate scientists have not been saying that since the field got started over a century ago. Changes such as El Nina/ La Nina and the monsoons are the things that turned it into a major field of study around the start of the 20th century.
It's not the scientists pushing a hoax. It's commercial interested insisting that everything has always been the same, especially the commercial outliers of Religion who went after geology, biology and now climatology as being a threat to their business model. The mainstream of Religion doesn't care, it's just the merchants in the temple.
It wasn't a question fuckwit, it was a fucking annoying little game where you were changing the subject and shoving irrelevant propaganda down our throats by pretending it was a question. The "not qualified" shit was another stupid trick that treated us all like mentally retarded hicks - how fucking insulting. Are you one of those little turds that does that "social media worker" trolling shit for a living?
The own goal on kids was kind of funny, but the rest is fucking annoying noise.
Considering this fraud is about sexual stuff for commercial purposes I'd say there is plenty to lock him up with 17 year olds even if there were no photos of the sexual activity. "Procuring" is a word that comes to mind. The law looks down on people convincing 17 year olds to become hookers and that's probably how the situation would be looked at.
Good point even if it was wrong this time, but it's "show business" and ages that are not real go with the territory of names that are not real and it's not a big deal unless they are actually kids. If a fit and toned lady at 50 says she's 29 and gets away with it, who cares?
What's concerning to me is that economic success seems to be making China more authoritarian
No, you are just seeing a bit more of the "man behind the curtain". It's definitely not getting any less authoritarian but I don't think it's getting more so. The crackdown gambling, money laundering and some corruption has put a few high profile westerners in jail recently so that's put it in the news a bit more.
The good stuff like automobiles, you manufacture in the United States
American automobiles are "good stuff" - are you kidding me? The Fords, Jeeps and so-on that people are buying outside of the USA are not made in the USA. The other stuff is typically higher cost than European, Japanese or Korean but lower quality. It's serious mismanagement and old plants since GM, Ford etc make decent stuff in other places. Some people like to blame unions and high wages, but Mercedes has those two things many times worse yet copes very well.
Yes, which is why all that "I'm not one of them" stuff rang hollow. Ask your Dad, Reagan played the same silly game AFTER being a State Governor for a few years.
Whatever happened to "politics stops at the water's edge?"
Tea got thrown in.
Politics sometimes becomes played like a game as if there are not real issues at stake and the good of the nation becomes a low priority after personal power. Think about it - last term there was an attempt to shut down the operation of a government during wartime. If that was done in Lincoln's day he probably would have had some senators tried and executed for good reason. Now it's a game and the country can go fuck itself apparently.
When economies really go to shit you get inflation that makes cash close to worthless. Maybe it's worth getting to be very good at growing your own vegetables.
Technically true in that he owes Russian banks a lot of money, but Trump has a history of not paying his bills and backstabbing those he owes a lot to.
we mostly meddled in those countries to keep Socialism from taking root
Yes that was the cover story. Reality was a lot more of a fuckup. One ridiculous example just before the Cuban revolution was part of the CIA running guns to Castro while another was trying to kill him. Another was dropping bombs on a pro-democracy, pro-USA group of US trained army officers in Indonesia that called themselves "the sons of Eisenhower". How socialist do you think they were? When things changed and covert actions halted against them they became part of a military government in Indonesia that was nothing like socialism.
Second, Clinton would have been far more beneficial to Putin/Russia and she was as SoS. The reasoning make no sense.
When you have autocrats the personal becomes political (you'll all know that soon after a bit of time with Trump). Putin has had intense hatred of the Clintons ever since some US actions in the former Yugoslavia where Russia was not informed or involved and he has built quite a lot of his political career around avenging that "insult". Also Putin seems to know exactly how to play Trump. A bit of flattery got Trump singing Putin's praises.
Assange has always been a questionable individual, but since he holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy, Wikileaks has been transformed into a sort of cult of personality. Assange made no secret of his glee at fucking up Clinton's presidential run, so when he says "Oh, no, the Russians had nothing to do with it!" it comes off as disingenuous.
The truly funny thing here is when wikileaks was first active so many critics "played the man and not the ball", and the focus of those critics on Assange was then used as "proof" that he was a narcissist, and now it's apparently a cult of personality. That's hilarious if you compare it to any of thousands of celebrities actively seeking attention instead of one that was just singled out for a point of attack.
It's all just very annoying feedback noise that really has very little to do with either wikileaks or Assange.
He's a guy locked up in what used to be a woman's toilet in an embassy - how the fuck do you get a "cult of personality" out of such a pathetic situation without diverging wildly from reality just to fabricate an interesting story?
I'd guess that Japan drafting and passing a bill to legalise casinos in Japan for the first time almost immediately after Abe met Trump is one example, but more concrete evidence is going to take time.
As with some of your other stuff, it's a really stupid unanswerable question that is more a trick than a question. An honest question would be what has Trump done before that is corrupt (eg. the Cuban stuff etc) because we don't have a fucking clue what he is doing "right now" do we? How about an honest discussion instead of pathetic tricks with "mass debating" shit?
As far as we can tell from a looooong way away. It's like denying the front door exists after you've banged into it in the dark because you didn't bring a torch. It's there because you have run into it, you just don't have the equipment to see it just now.
I obviously did not have one until you told me what opinion I should have in the form of a question. Has that made things clearer? It's a very annoying trick/tactic. Just be honest and tell me what your opinion is instead of emulating weasels.
If you can't answer the question then you shouldn't be making statements
Oh do grow up. This high school debating shit is getting old. I thought it was pathetic when I was a kid, and now decades later I must admit that I cannot take anyone playing such stupid games seriously.

You are blaming the wrong people.

The own goal on kids was kind of funny, but the rest is fucking annoying noise.
For example:
Nobody can answer that. It's a rhetorical trick that insults the intelligence of the reader.
It means I think you are an utter wanker spreading partisan noise and cowardly about it.

Not if it's for a commercial transaction.
No, you are just seeing a bit more of the "man behind the curtain". It's definitely not getting any less authoritarian but I don't think it's getting more so.

I very much doubt there were any. People in politics like to jump on good news and pretend they were involved.
Yes, which is why all that "I'm not one of them" stuff rang hollow.
Ask your Dad, Reagan played the same silly game AFTER being a State Governor for a few years.
Yes, since it is an act of becoming a person who works in politics.
Sober up and you'll remember.
Tea got thrown in.

You appear to be under the delusion that you have some say in the matter. Why would anyone show you or I evidence?

Shooting the messenger. Assange didn't do the hack and it's not as if he has Republican emails to leak as well.
Assange has always been a questionable individual, but since he holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy, Wikileaks has been transformed into a sort of cult of personality. Assange made no secret of his glee at fucking up Clinton's presidential run, so when he says "Oh, no, the Russians had nothing to do with it!" it comes off as disingenuous.

I keep seeing a theme here in multiple threads. Are you a political intern?
Work on that reading comprehension.

Very good point, the term doesn't fit but it's a convenient term for the geographically challenged so I lazily used it.
