    Like I said, I read it as mocking. Any POTUS that has said the things Trump has said deserves to be ridiculed. Mocking is typically exaggerated, so I really don't think it violates his sig.

    He is doing what he is accusing Trump of doing. Trump exaggerates and it is called a lie.

    Trump is POTUS. Supposed to be a higher standard.

    All the rioting looting and burning, police killings, civilians killing innocent people the Corona Virus debacle have all occurred under Dirty Donald and No Sense Pence's administration. They are TOTALLY INCOMPETANT!!!!

    Global warming doesnt cause forest fires or hurricanes.

    To the extent warming affects weather patterns, yes, it can cause more severe fires and hurricanes. How much global warming is responsible for severe weather events isn't known conclusively. We do know average temperature has risen by 2 degrees F over the last hundred years, which is significant as it relates to weather.

    Think about it. Two degrees in our everyday life does not amount to anything. So our maximum temperature is 92 rather than 90 and that is spread over a hundred years. I would not even notice 92 versus 90 unless someone told me. We are getting weather extremes, but we have always got weather extremes. Generally, extremely warm weather in one are results in lower temperatures somewhere else. With those warm dry temperatures in California, we got a cooler wet summer.

    At least that group cares about the USA, don't hate cops, or burn down cities.

    The weather patterns in CA haven't changed notably in at least 100 years, the place has been at best semi arid at least since the last I've age. If it wasn't for irrigation they couldn't grow much of anything.the longest and worst
    drought on record according to USGS, ran mid to late '20's to some where in the mid to late thirties. There are dangerous fires there frequently and have been since the last ice age. This is not something new. The only thing that's changed is the dollar value of the real estate and the number of twits who think living in the middle of giant piles kindling wood is a good idea

    It's possible. If they can ignore him separating children from their family, using tear gas against peaceful protesters just to get a photo-op with an upside down Bible, it's also possible that they can ignore the many signs of not having opened a Bible in his life that the Two-Corinthians-guy has publicized.

    The RNC was full of the same Platitudes, mischaracterization and outright lies just like the DNC - then we had our resident Priest and VP semonizing for half of his speech while lying out of the other side of his mouth the rest of the speech.

    Yeah, according to the RNC, Trump is our benevolent savior, who is the only one who can give us jobs and opportunity, and protect the US, and Western civilization in general, from destruction. LOL! But, what does one expect from a reality TV star? We get a well-choreographed reality TV event, which, unfortunately, has little to do with the actual state of the country, or the character of the president.

    At least the DNC didn't go overboard portraying Biden as a decent man (which he actually is, at least much more so than Trump).

    Oh! I guess the below thru me off a bit with no mention of any other country and what seems to be a direct accusation towards Trump and no other leaders like Xi Jinping.

    Muh Bad :nod::nod:

    My links are about COVID-19, so why would other presidents be mentioned?

    The H1N1 influenza strain that made the rounds in 2009-2010 may serve as one example. The Obama administration made some mistakes there, which they freely admitted, followed by intensive work on a pandemic playbook that drew on their experiences with that strain, and included previous lessons learned from a different bad flu strain in 2005 that the GW Bush administration mishandled, also admittedly, also followed by a playbook that Obama made use of during the ebola scare in 2014.

    Trump, on the other hand, refused to even consider using anything from the Obama administration, so that playbook is gathering dust. As we all know, Trump is a "stable genius" who knows more than the experts on any subject. That ignorant hubris got people killed.

    Talk to Golem. He is the one who brought up all those other presidents.

    Those are average world temperatures. Water evaporates faster and the air becomes more saturated. Two degrees can have a profound effect on weather patterns. You may not notice a two degree difference, but other species do

    The two are not comparable. No special actions had to be taken for the H1N1 strain. No travel restrictions, no masks. Nothing that was done affected most of our lives at all.

    Two degrees over a hundred years does not amount to anything. The weather patterns have not been visibly affected.

    By the way, you just demonstrated lack of knowledge of the subject. You said water evaporates faster. However, the air does not become more saturated. If anything it becomes less saturated.

    My mistake on the saturation. Your mistake is in your claim.

    Given the size and tremendous heat capacity of the global oceans, it takes a massive amount of heat energy to raise Earth’s average yearly surface temperature even a small amount. The 2-degree increase in global average surface temperature that has occurred since the pre-industrial era (1880-1900) might seem small, but it means a significant increase in accumulated heat. That extra heat is driving regional and seasonal temperature extremes, reducing snow cover and sea ice, intensifying heavy rainfall, and changing habitat ranges for plants and animals—expanding some and shrinking others.

    But the fact that the air does not become more saturated results in the air becoming more stable and less apt to become violent.

    Your words are again revealing your lack of knowledge on the subject. A two degree increase in air temperature is not a massive amount of heat energy. It is calculatable, but does not amount to much. When it is compared to the amount of thermal energy contained in this earth, especially the bodies of water, it is many decimal points away from being significant. There has been no unusual regional or seasonal temperature extremes. There are new records every day of the year, but with a million daily measurements, it would be unlikely that did not occur.

    Additionally the correct term is thermal energy, not heat energy.
