You think she is being paid by Democrats (last I looked, scientists all over the fucking world agrees with her for the most part). You can't just chalk it up as a girl who is smart and can think for herself (whether she is right or wrong about global warming or not). You say she is being paid and is a crisis actor. Lulz. Bro, I love ya man, but that is ridiculous to me. I hope no crazy right wingers go after her. If anything, she is brave.
*Ron Howard voice*

The crazy right wingers went after her.

This is gonna be fun for me tomorrow. Got a coworker who said he was almost in tears from Greta's speech. When I break the JNN hard copy on his noggin, giddy up.

And where is David Hogg now? You don't really hear about him anymore. He survived a mass shooting in which his friends were murdered. He was there. Even if you disagree with his stance on guns, you should at least show fucking empathy and understand why he is outspoken about guns and shit. Hell, I don't agree with him either, but isn't that the very thing that conservatives bitch about? "Omg....you don't agree with my opinion! Opinions are being censored!" That's exactly what everyone is doing. And Everytime it's a young kid, y'all act like you're smarter than them. Ugh

Not just condescending, they openly mock him. It's sick.

And all these young provocative right wingers who usually lead these things are the biggest fucking dweebs on the planet. I would give Ben Shapiro a wedgie every day if I could. Just five seconds a day of doing something awesome.

This dream of him packing his shit and going home or to prison is ridiculous and a little silly. You want him gone than win in 2020 and not the imaginary win of more popular votes but the kind that actually counts and decides who's the next president.
Or the Senate does its job, especially if they can get evidence of wrongdoing. At some point if that’s proven then they do have to answer why they feel it isn’t right to do the right thing. Which, if public fav our swings in the direction of believing the impeachment inquiry will impact the perception. You need only look at how that went for Nixon to realize they do still care about the public. All it takes is a few guys to go. Romney starts it and others may well follow.

Also I didn’t say the human race would be wiped out. I said it would be a global catastrophe. Which sea level rises, droughts, floods, extreme weather events like hurricanes and monsoons, mass extinction of marine life, and similar things, will definitely be. That is the definition of catastrophe.

I can post stuff, but cannot comment on others posts. It's like I'm just on restriction. I'll remember that the next time I tell someone to stop comparing a 16 year old girl to a Nazi. That's the only thing I can think of. I said worse in this thread.

I avoid all politics on Facebook and only really like/reyeeet stuff on Twitter. Can’t be seen as the socialist eurotradh I am and still keep my job. It’s not lost on me that you guys are my main source of political discourse and that you could probably get me fired. :D

Isn't that sad. I do the same thing. That's why HMF is the only one that matters.

It is. Can’t get stuck into topics clearly all my friends are interested in and talking about. I mean it’s fair as I have to appear impartial, and I could be seen to divulge information not in the public sphere. But still sucks.

Republicans sheepishly coming to Trump's defense today.

They don't care. Nothing is going to happen.

In a principled country there’d be outrage and immediate consequences including resignation and prison time. Nobody should use their office for corrupt ends. There shouldn’t need to be a “if the other side” assessment. It should just be fact.

Is using your office to make another country fire a prosecutor who is prosecuting a company your son works for under threat of withholding money fall into this category?

Sure.

I mean that’s not what happened since the Prosecutor in question was by every metric corrupt and being removed regardless. But sure, say Biden had the power to do foreign policy including foreign aid and he used that to get his son favored in the Ukraine then yes, that would be an abuse of power and the exact same should apply.

That's Biden's description of what he said to the Ukraine leadership. "Fire the guy before I leave in 6 hours or the money goes with me" he should probably drop out of the election for his admitted abuse of power.
