Climate Consensus (Bipartisanship no.3)

Just so we're clear, here: The GOP thinks climate change is a hoax, and the Democrats think Putin can shut off our power and freeze us to death by remote control.

Oh, yeah, and the Amazon rainforest — which provides 20% of Earth's oxygen — is still on fire.

Good; that's sorted, then.

Golden Showers

So, just so we're straight, here: Trump is pissing all over everybody, but the Democrats' main complaint is that the GOP is behaving boorishly and insists on calling it piss – as they blow off impending global disaster and put the kibosh on a climate crisis debate.

Meanwhile, the Amazon rainforest is burning, and wildfires are raging in Africa.
The world is literally on fire and meanwhile, the Democratic Party insists "please, it's not piss, it's Chardonnay".

We aren't going to be able to "election" our way out of this. It's time to vote in the streets.

Sorry About The Airport

If the fact that this and the previous "revolution" in Hong Kong have been backed by the National Endowment for Democracy and "Freedom House", and the fact that current "pro-democracy" leaders have been peeped meeting with US Consulate officials, and the fact that the mob in Hong Kong have been spotted waving US flags and singing "Star-Spangled Banner" – not to mention that most of the signs are in English – perhaps the fact that the Hong Kong "revolutionaries" are getting big fat shout-outs from Nikki Haley should convince you that the "revolution" in Hong Kong is a massive, bogus US-backed astroturf show.

The eyes of the world see that the people of Hong Kong are not terrorists. They are freedom fighters. To the people of Hong Kong, we are praying for your safety and believe that democracy is worth fighting for. We hear you and we stand with you! 🇺🇸#FreedomForHongKong https://t.co/Q8JUIPnLQy

This past Tuesday, a mob affiliated with the "revolution" in Hong Kong took over the international airport and brought the chaos, confronting police and causing spectacular disruptions in air travel. The real kicker was when the "revolutionaries" spent the next day greeting travelers at the airport wearing symbolic eye bandages in solidarity with an injured comrade, holding signs apologizing for the previous day's havoc. That's right, apologizing. Idiots, why the hell were they there, then? Isn't that the whole point of protest? Hell, that sure was the point of getting upwards of 100,000 people into the streets of Seattle and Washington DC to bring the city to a standstill and disrupt the meetings of the WTO, IMF and World Bank. Disuption was our jam that day, f'crissake; we sure as hell weren't apologizing for anything.

Christ, man, c'mon.
