Climate change may be real. My wife is out of town for a few weeks and where she is at it is currently -26 degrees Fahrenheit. The high today will be -9. Tomorrow it will warm up to -3.


My wife said it has warmed up to a cozy -19 now with the wind chill at -41.

'Diversity' is as easily a bad thing as it is a good thing ... which is why the emphasis used to be encouraging a "melting pot"

'Equity' should be off the table as Marxist influenced drivel ...

'Inclusion' on the face of it is a necessity if we are going to have civil society. However, the activists got entrenched and the government started really leaning on companies , trying to get a utopian ideal installed. As usual, those wanting utopia turn to using coercion. Happens every time

I don't think diversity is ever a bad thing unless it is mandated.

You are trying to explain logic to a guy who says $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia is not waste.
Well, he offered a porn link once to verify men having sex with trans, so that doesn't surprise me at all. 😂

Trump is candidate for the dumbest use of a mouth I have heard from someone that high up. Every President had said some dumb things. No argument there.
Are you aware that you ramble on about nothing and sound like a child bully on the playground? You don't make sense half the time, you sound like every sore loser who's ever been born. You're blinding hatred colors everything you say and you're not even aware of it. You are incapable of seeing what's really going on because you're hatred gets in the way of rational thinking.
After AZ told me about the kind of videos he watches, I just can't take him seriously anymore. 😂

It's great for adding variety to your local restaurant selection!

Also valuable for making interesting friends, learning about different points of view, and undoubtedly promotes pluralism in politics . Pluralism advocates point out such is need to stop the development of one party rule

I agree. Mandated in hiring leads to coercion, it can really get bad as we have seen. I would also say it can be bad to not keep it from getting out of control in immigration. I do believe in the 'melting pot' .

Not even arguing any of your points.

I stand by mine

The ONLY reasons Trump was prosecuted are

My A. The Democrats wanted him removed as an opponent to (then) ridiculously weak Joe Biden
and
My B. The Democrat prosecutors wanted to make a name for themselves.


Or (C) There was probable cause and evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to obtain and sustain a conviction.

C is not possible. It was lawfare

Duffman thinks Trump tells the courts what to do. Considering his appointments this time around no telling what kind of Supreme Court judge he would pick if he gets a another shot at it.

We will get the justices the American voter voted for. All those groups that voted MAGA this time around in higher percentage than before will get the justices they voted for. Women will get anti-abortion justices. We all will get anti-4th Amendment and anti-5th Amendment and anti-8th Amendment justices. Consumers will get pro-business justices. Religious minorities and atheists and the free press will get anti-1st Amendment justices. We all all will get anti-14th Amendment justices. That's the kind of court MAGA wants. They better not complain when it happens.
