Are u happy with Donald Trump being president again? 🤔 🇺🇸
Of the USA. Our economy is in my opinion the most important issue of the day. Not saying abortion is not an issue. Not saying illegal immigration is not either. Or war. But some things are out of our control. And if we choose not to control it it's because the establishment is benefiting and profiting from it anyway. War and immigration is a business. The pharmacuetical industry is a business. Politics in itself, is a business. So this is what it is. The system is corrupt. Democrat or Republican. So nobody here should be surprised that we got what we did on last night. Regardless of what goes down soon, America will survive. Now my question to you Are you ok with the fact that Donald Trump' is President of the United States again. Best answer wins.
Right. And the best sign that someone is great for the economy is to create a new agency in charge of the economy run by billionaire man child....no the other one that owns Twitter and is named after a crypto meme coin. What could go wrong?
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow ... and assign that Ramaswamy guy as his minder in a department that is not a department, an agency that is not an agency so they can report into a real Department. Stir and bring to a slow boil.
The only reason I'm unhappy is that America is now going to do f-all to combat climate change. It wasn't doing much before, but it was something; now it will do nothing.
@Mesthartiya Anything the US does is a drop in the bucket, as 3rd world nations are doing nothing, supporting coal fired power plants, no pollution controls on vehicles, etc. China is churning out all types of pollution at a rate far greater than any "climate change" policies the US adopts could ever offset.
@fanuc2013 I wish you were right, but you’re not. The US is worlds second largest emitter of pollution, and historically are the largest BY FAR. China and India, among others, are also doing far far more than the US in curbing their emissions, but the US, sadly, still has outsize influence in the world; where they lead others follow.
So they are not a drop in the ocean, they are the ocean.
@fanuc2013 Actually, China, the largest emitter of CO2 is getting under control and has leveled off its output. The US, 2nd largest, has slightly reduced CO2 output.
trump, despite what hes lacking, has his good points. i mean who wantsto see the united states devolve to communism? How many people agree with a globalist agenda? illegal immigrants are lawbreakers and are welcomed by the democrats apparently to fulfill low wage jobs and whatnot. thats not fostering equality of man. thats feeding corporate greed. they may say if not for the illegal immigrants farming the land wed starve but thats hard ot believe. more like its their profit margin that would be starving. not that i really know lol. but i said it.
@Penny The illegals aren't about filling low wage jobs. It's about future voters and also getting them included in the next census. The illegals tend to settle in blue cities, so when the next census comes the cities will have higher populations and then each state will reapportion their representatives to blue areas to give the democrats more seats in the House!
He is not going to fix any of that and far more. Only make ALL it worse.
The guideline is the how wealthy the top 1% will get.
Some have already mentioned twice the wealth of the bottom 99% combined.
I believe it will be three times the wealth before the end of his term. That's just on the economy. In other words forget any housing. No one will be able to afford a house. Most will RENT from that top 1% in some way.
Very pleased that Trump is president. We'll see how well the GOP House and Senate fall into line. It's the unelected elites and the establishment politicians who carry their water, that represent the problem. Trump ain't in that club.
: there actually is evidence in the ice cores for instances of rapid climate change and such instances happened before the industrial revolution you probably like to put the blame on.
Actually, I did take first semester geology decades ago; even did field work taking strikes & dips, examining thin sections thru polarizing microscopes etc etc. And I have looked into the info to be found in ice cores and deep sea sediments. And you are dead wrong, buddy.
As you probably know, ice cores yield about 800,000 years of data, covering about 7 ice ages. The climate data comes from bubbles in glacial ice, and is corroborated by data from lake & sea floor sediments. https://icecores.org/about-ice-cores CO2 & methane & temp data
Here's where the various data sets were collected:
The most salient thing about the 800,000 years of climate data is the rate of change during those previous 7 ice ages compared to the current rate of change this century.
No, @Thorstormbringer we haven't seen CO2 levels anywhere near this high in the last 7 ice ages. And we know that where CO2 goes, temperatures and sea levels follow.
BTW, since you mentioned your background in geology, I thought I'd see what your fellow geologists say about the subject. It's EYE OPENING!
Climate Change—GSA’s position statement on climate change recognizes that “human activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of rapid warming since the middle 1900s” and “addressing the challenges posed by climate change will require a combination of adaptation to the changes that are likely to occur and mitigation of future impacts through global reductions of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic sources.” GSA encourages the responsible transition away from fossil fuel energy resources, recognizing that a variety of energy sources will be required to meet global energy demand through the transition and that no form of energy is perfectly secure or devoid of potential social, environmental, health, or economic impacts.

Seems the geologists' opinion isn't too different from that of the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and at least 15 other national organizations of publishing scientists.

YES!!! Now the illegals will be shipped out! Although the worst of them will hide and continue with their nefarious deeds. It will take a long time to ferret them out.
@Adeptlinguist Deporting illegals for one thing. Getting rid of the perverted gender ideology which mutilates children. Fighting globalism with tarrifs thus encouraging US manufacturing. Stopping climate insanity. The list goes on and on.
