If Trump were a true leader he would be out there today rejecting the KKK and the white power movement creeping into the high schools.

I suspect that won’t happen.

Trump is a true leader since despite all the power of the establishment brought to bear against him for the past 17 months his vision lead him to the White House. What has been creeping into the schools is leftist defeatism, dependency and entitlement which will be purged from schools in the vast red regions of this nations election map when education is brought back to the states.

I don’t know about all that.
You think his business model dictates that his employees resign if they support a certain candidate?

There was a time when that stuff happened. In 1937 my maternal grandfather came to Lock Haven Pa to work for a brand new company called Piper Aircraft. He was of Irish decent and was a Catholic and a democrat. He was denied employment unless he became a Republican and a Protestant. Which he did. He eventually became the QA Manager and was employed there until he became too ill to work. He had a heart condition that took his life a few years after the Lock Haven plant closed.

I ran into something like that back in the late ’80s. It was well known that if you wanted to advance in management you had to go to this one church.

Sorry, bnw. I forgot you are also in the area. If it is any consolation, I’m sure the drought has NOTHING to do with any human induced carbon emissions. I mean, the whole idea is crazy, right?

Some people are claiming there are strange jets that have contrails that don’t dissipate, but instead form into weird structures that bind the moisture in the air.

Personally, I think that is nuts, but I’m not living somewhere where it hasn’t rained in 42 days…

You bet that idea is absolutely crazy. Droughts are a natural occurrence in this climate. This spring and summer had ample rainfall so much so that everything stayed green well into September. Currently we’re listed as a severe drought-

Right now the biggest problem is with livestock having to be fed hay since pastures are too dry. Small ponds are dry too as well as small streams. Hay isn’t available to buy so cattle is going to market at low prices. Reservoir levels are still fairly high.

Don’t know anything about contrails other than they show the direction of high level winds.

If you lived through the endless night linking the fears of Tuesday evening of November 8 to the terror of the following Wednesday morning wondering how to explain Donald Trump’s victory to your children

This stuff makes my eyes roll back in my head. Leave your fucking children alone, idiots. Seriously – just stop being drama queens. “Children” have no business being involved in your irrational fears. What elementary school kid is sitting around determining that a new immigration policy is going to spell the deportation of his friends? They don’t pick up on that stuff by themselves. They’re exposed to it deliberately because of your irresponsibility and your ignorance. “Don’t worry, Timmy, daddy will protect you from the big orange man who wants all your friends to die in Mexico.” Asshats. And Sorkin’s letter to his daughters? It would have been literally the funniest thing I have ever read in my life if it wasn’t so offensive that he had to drag his daughters into his personal hell. The fuck is wrong with people anymore?

Excellent post. They are guilty of child abuse.

However, I’ve been trying to think of anything that may possibly come out of this that could be positive.

Sure.

Hillary lost.

We’re 8 inches behind on rain here in East TN and the fires are popping up everywhere. A few days ago the smoke had covered 6 counties and we got it for a day. Chattanooga south into GA is really dry, I think I heard 15 behind for rain. I wouldn’t worry too much about X since he has created a massive fire break around his house by belching his moonshine and then lighting it.

No it isn’t. Far from it. When your models do not work don’t claim success. When your models don’t work with cherry picked data then you should expect your funding to dry up. Which it will when Trump is president.

bnw, I’ll give you this. Unlike Trump, I truly think you don’t believe in climate change. I don’t think Trump really believes climate change is a hoax. He just doesn’t care that it’s happening. He is more concerned with profits than averting environmental disaster. That’s why he will declaw the EPA and defund all clean energy research. You, unlike Trump, at least have integrity. You believe what you are saying. You are dead wrong, but at least you are a man of conviction. Trump has no conviction. His only concern is his bottom line. He’s really not worthy of your admiration.

I hope you get a chance to read the thread I posted about -Climate Change- Learning to think like a geologist. I was amazed while reading it and it is my perspective laid out beautifully by the author.

Just because Trump doesn’t believe in “climate change” doesn’t mean he’s “anti-science”.

Um, yes it does. It’s settled science. There is no debate in the scientific community about its existence. The only debate is how best to respond to human-made destruction of the planet’s ecosystems. It’s all about “how?” at this point. And, of course, Trump never deals with “how?” when it comes to anything.

It isn’t “settled science”! It is a theory. A theory that real data doesn’t support.

bnw,

Heard Chris Christie last night admit — and he’s not the only person from Trump’s circle to do this — they didn’t think they were ahead going into the race either. Their own internal polling had them behind. He said their polling did have them a point or two better than the public polls. But still behind.

It’s a mistake to view the polling as some kind of conspiracy against Trump. Remember, it also includes right-wing polling like Fox News and Rasmussen. They had Clinton winning going in, and at times in this race, up by double digits. It’s also quite possible that a commanding lead, even a steady one, provokes apathy and drives down voter participation. That helps Trump.

(Overall voting was down from 2012. As of this morning, seven million fewer Dems showed up, apparently. I didn’t catch the most recent totals for Trump, yet, but since he lost the popular vote, and he doesn’t even have as many as Romney’s losing total, it’s likely GOP turnout was down, too.)

Very few people, across the political spectrum, predicted a Trump victory. This guy was one of them:

Whenever I looked into the methodology of polls that showed Hildabeast so far ahead I always noticed an absurd oversampling of democrat voters. That and the fact that she couldn’t draw any crowds on her own once she got the nomination while Trump filled every venue everywhere in this nation to overflowing for a year and a half, and as I posted months ago that when I traveled I only saw Trump signs everywhere and many of those signs were home made. When I talked to people or listened to what was said around me it was overwhelmingly pro Trump. It boiled down to people were angry that change promised was never delivered but real change they still want. Change. Systemic change. That would never be Hildabeast. It could only be Trump. Thats why I never believed the polls that said he was behind.
