Ah the USS McCain story. I read that the other day and thought no fucking way is that true. If it was, that is really fucking bad. So, good to know the poor dude that is the CIO has tried to reset the story. I think what gave it life was the fact Megan McCain ran with it, and it was first reported by the WSJ. 

That's just the low standards of modern day journalism.  Something false gets posted on twitter, it gets amplified and by the time it is fixed it is too late. The people who bang the drum on these type of stories never apologize or admit they are wrong either.  Hell, some of them never take down their tweets of their criticism. There really is no accountability. 

Ok, so this video seems to be confirming that the WH did ask that it be kept away during Trumps visit, which is pretty lame still.

In 3 days Biden flip flopped on a pretty big issue of the Hyde amendment (no federally funded abortions).

He just proved himself to be unable to withstand whining vs his principles.

I cant wait for Biden to debate the Dems.......he will sink faster than the Titanic.  

Kirsten Gillibrand is such a goober.

I would love to have her become the nominee and then lose. The howls and yowls of misogyny and sexism would be better theater than Broadway could ever pull off.

LOL

A women will be in the top 3 Dems with the 2 old white men.  The lefts hate groups and virtue signaling will eat each other alive with fems, SJW and racists coming out against each other.

I expect Warren and Kamala to do well in the debates, as well as Bootigieg.

Biden's dumbass-bully style would work well against Trump, but probably not the Democratic debates.  And if all the Bernie supporters even bother to watch the debate, what he says and how he performs won't matter to them.

I still think Corey Booker is a charismatic guy that could also make big moves after the debates.

Two things:

1.) I saw someone the other day on Twitter call Bernie Sanders "Uncle Commie". I can't remember for sure but I think it might have been Carol Roth

2.) There used to be global warming. Then it was changed to climate change. Now, I guess the new name is Climate Disruption. I have to wonder if that will stick.

I thought it was Climate Crisis?

Just like “reproductive rights” being the new term for abortion ………God they are sick.

The whole climate issue seems to be nothing more than an attempted backdoor govt takeover of the economy and I'm not buying it.

Correction: It was Carol Roth but the name was "Grandpa Commie"

That's exactly what it is.  AOC proposed "at least $10T...."  It's an excuse to transfer money to ideas and products that aren't economically viable.  And you can bet there's a WHOLE LOT of corruption when you have politicians picking winners and losers with that kind of money.

If there was remotely an actual threat even 100 years from now, you'd see REAL action.  Namely, we'd be building nuclear plants as fast as we can all over the world.  Nuclear is not the long-term solution, but it would be the most effective and immediate way to virtually eliminate fossil fuels.

The other thing I've noticed is all kinds of activist claims end - well, and lead - with ".....because climate change".  Similar to identity politics, the purpose is to quash debate - if you dare question their position, then you're a science denier.

Yep, they keep moving the goalposts because every passing year is another nail in the coffin that CO2 doesn't trigger amplifying warming effects, without which it's basically a nothingburger.

"Climate disruption" is interesting.  It sounds a lot like a much more common term WEATHER.  Basically, the new push is to blame extreme weather events on climate change.  However, in a rare honest disclosure climate scientists mostly agree there's no evidence of an increase in extreme weather events (if anything, it leans the opposite way to LESS events).  But climate is always changing, so they go and cherry-pick natural occurring changes in local weather.....and then blame fossil fuels.

It is funny, there is one meteorologist on twitter named Ryan Maue I think that shits on people calling weather events climate change driven. Its almost the lowest time of major tornadoes but people still blaming tornadoes in 2019 bc of climate change. Be skeptical of any science talked about by morons in congress.

She has negative chances to be the nominee.

Tweet from today really showing her intelligence 

Here's an idea: If you win 13-0—the most goals for a single game in World Cup history—you should be paid at least equally to the men's team. 

Congratulations, #USWNT!

I don't understand why people think like this when: women don't sell the merch, sell tickets, bring a crowd like men do. It's too bad, I guess, but you can't force people to be more interested.

Ergo, ram Title IX down our throats, because you’re mad people like men’s sports more.

Also, I know the men's team is pretty trash right now (hopefully the right the ship soon smh), but they would be able to name their score against the USWMNT.  The USWMNT knows it too.

The fact that the USMNT could beat the USWNT is irrelevant.

What would be relevant to this discussion is to see the profit generated by the USMNT (tickets, merch, expenses, etc.) versus that generated by the USWNT....THAT would determine if the USWNT should be paid the same...or more or less than the USMNT.

Sam process as in the real world....
