« on: December 06, 2018, 07:42:44 AM »Yeah, the guy is supposed to fly coach. Whatever.
Wouldn't flying on a 200 seat passenger airliner contribute a smaller carbon foot print than one person being flown on a G5?

But that's the liberal way. When they get backed into a corner because all of their "facts" are shown to be complete bullshit, they start hurling profanities, calling racist, bigot and saying we hate jews.
All in the playbook.

The reason why PoA was formed was due to massive over moderation on AOPA. And now?
They've destroyed that forum. They need to enema the whole MC and start over.

« on: December 05, 2018, 05:16:06 PM »Michael, why won't you address the hypocrisy of someone like Bernie Sanders flying all over in private jets and telling us all about global climate change?
Never mind that Leonardo DeCaprio flew from Europe to the US, in a G5, alone (except for crew) to accept an award for his contribution in fighting MMGW.
And then we have Schwarzenegger has been a part of the Climate Change religion. Of course he jets around in his G5 (He use to commute back and forth in it from LA to Sacramento, daily) and he has a fleet of SUV's, plus multiple mansions.
Limousine Liberals. They know what's best for the rest of us.

« on: December 05, 2018, 04:46:00 PM »Since you don't see anything it can't be happening. Yeah, whatever. Like I said, I live in the North and way inland. You can all drown, I don't feel sorry for you in the least. Florida will go first, its a peninsula at about 1 foot above sea level. I hope you enjoy growing gills.
Your ignorance is just astounding. Facts don't coincide with your twisted beliefs.
Unlike you I have spent the better part of the past 3 decades on the coast in one way or another. At one marina on Florida's east coast they still have the original boat houses built back in the 1930's. Funny thing is they are still sitting where built, and the water levels are still the same. A good friend of mine has a beach house near Stuart, and over the past decade and a half the beach is still there and the water levels have remained the same.
If the sea levels have changed the way you think they have, you better notify the NOAA of your findings. Seems all of the navigation charts aren't reflecting the data you said has changed.
This statement is just idiotic, at best:

Their real job is present space for advertising, to make that worth buying they have to attract a wide audience. That said, I think most honestly present the truth. I do think they're all responsible for spinning it one way or the other. But big stories get reported, mostly because any one outlet doesn't want to get skunked. That said, I think a lot of the blogs post baloney and try and call it news.
Members of this site bought into the baloney big time during the election, a lot of it was put put by Russian trolls. My go to was always Fox News. Yes, they have lots of commentary, and yes they swing right. But they are still journalists, and they still the vast majority of the time get the facts straight, about a much as anyone else.
I think the big stories still get reported, and I think everyone wants to hear about government misbehavior. So I think overall the press in the country is doing all right. The government a little less so, our legislative branch has become hideously dysfunctional. Then again, all you guys think less government is better government, so you should be thrilled with Congress.
I think the docs have been adjusting your meds. It's gotten better, but you're not quite there yet.

Yep, the classic "nose under the tent" routine.
Ever notice when a gun discussion comes up, and it's brought up about Chicago and their out of control gun murder rate, the dems clam up and won't discuss it?

« on: December 05, 2018, 07:32:39 AM »That isn't an unreasonable statement. Unfortunately we really don't know what a warmer world is going to look like. The hurricane drought was ample proof of that.
The one thing we do know is that the seas are going to rise, and they are. That is quite a big deal, since 90% of humanity lives on a coast of some sort.
But I'm part of the 10% that doesn't, and I live in the North. You can all suffer, I'll be just fine.
So through out my life I've kept boats on the east coast and on the Gulf coast. At all of the various marinas that I frequent I've never witnessed a change on the MWL along the sea walls. None.
I've boated a large portion of the ICWW, again, no changes to the MWL. Lots of homes along the ICWW, have been for years, and the water lines on the sea wall are where they were for years. (Some areas of the ICWW are shallower now due to shoaling, but that is natural due to tides and water flow).
At my current marina, the water along the sea walls is the same as it's been for the past decade, no change.
But according to you, the seas are rising and soon we will all be under water.

« on: December 05, 2018, 07:16:18 AM »I think they're worried about before and during the election. If they negotiated a lifting of sanctions for election assistance, for example, it would be illegal as heck. Not saying they did, only if they did.
While there may be no fire, the Donald's bromance with Putin does put out some smoke.

« on: December 05, 2018, 07:07:14 AM »I'll admit I haven't read a lot about it. What little I heard mentioned was something about the transition staff contacting the Russians. Would that not have been after the election at that point and would certainly be no big deal. Seems like a big todo over nothing.
Mueller destroyed his life and career over what could basically be considered the equivalent of jay walking. The General lost his home and his savings, everything.
But let's look at the real reason this was done to Gen Flynn. Go back to I believe 2014 when he was the director of the DIA. He was appointed by Obama. Gen Flynn took a hardline approach to Islamic Terrorism and clashed with BHO who wanted him to back away. Gen Flynn was critical of how BHO was handling Islamic Terrorism, so BHO fired him.
After Gen Flynn leaves the government he remains critical of BHO, publicly. Fast forward to 2016 and the General becomes an ally of Candidate Trump. BHO again advises Trump not to hire Flynn, but is ignored.
During the transition of the Trump Administration Gen Flynn makes a call to the Russian Ambassador, which was in his rights. The FBI, who had been wire tapping the Trump Administration reports this to the DoJ, and he is interviewed by none other than Peter Strzok. After the interview Strzok advises there is no problem. That later gets changed and through pressure Gen Flynn is fired, making him the first causality of the Trump Administration. The media rejoices, and BHO walks away smiling.
