    You might have read up on this if anything that contradicted your position didn't send you into convulsions trigglypuff.

    From the article:

    "But it's not just happening in far-away places like Bangladesh or the Maldives. It's happening right here in the US.

    On Tangier Island, Virginia, in the southern Chesapeake Bay, residents are facing the inundation of a place some local families have called home since the 1600s."

    That's an island off the Mississippi Delta. They have been coming and going since before homo sapiens was a species.

    Tangiers Island is in the Chesapeake Bay, on the Virginia side, nowhere near the Mississippi Delta.

    The article talks about two places being drowned by climate change, which you would know if actually reading an article wasn't your kryptonite.

    Yep there's ocean drive (hint it's named ocean drive because it's next to the ocean) flooding. Damn it looks like Atlantis.

    So, you're saying that the live webcams set up by the Miami Beach Department of Tourism doesn't show any flooding? Well, I must have gotten some bad information about the flooding in Miami Beach then. I guess the photos on weather.com and the Miami Herald were just photoshopped.

    Now the Ruskies will be patching the server (and maybe other insecure servers) like crazy.

    I wouldn't count on it. People in Russia are just as lazy and arrogant as Americans, and twice as drunk.

    That's why Russia has an economy about the same size as Spain's.

    When we try to put forward Putin as some sort of brilliant super-leader, let's not forget that it was guys like him who got his country bogged down in Afghanistan and allowed his country to get head-faked into flushing their economy down the toilet trying to keep up with a non-existent "Star Wars Initiative", which led to their collapse as a superpower. They can't even field a respectable Olympics team any more.

    That's not the part for laughing. The laughing comes when you remember that goofballs in the "alt-Right" actually nominated someone who is so awful that people are willing to overlook all "this negative stuff" about Hillary.

    Well its better for the NSA to publicly pretend to not have the emails so that when clinton is president they have something to extort her with.

    Wikileaks has now released FIFTEEN tranches of thousands of emails each and there's been absolutely nothing extortion-worthy in any of them.

    Conspiracy theories are conspiracy theories. You'd think after 30 years, people would give up making up shit about Hillary Clinton. It just ends up making you look even more stupid. Assange, Wikileaks and the GOP have damaged their own reputations permanently over Hillary and they never seem to learn.

    If Trump gets in, the house, the senate, the speaker, everybody is going to be against him. Not much will get done.

    Most of Trump's big ideas don't require Congress at all. He can blow up trade deals, withdraw from NATO, deport millions, ban certain religions from coming to the US and it will not require one bit of congressional approval.

    He'd also be traveling with nuclear launch codes. I don't want a guy who is rage-tweeting about Miss Universe's sex tape at 3am to have access to that stuff. Sorry, not sorry.

  25. I'll ask the question again:

    Do you know Trump's well-laid-out plan for international trade? Do you know his well-though-out plan for dealing with the deficit? Can you name a single bit of legislation that Trump said he would push besides term limits?

    If you could have answered any of those questions, if you could have made the case you would have. Trump would have. You didn't and he hasn't and that's why we're where we're at.
