Chris Gloninger wove the reality of global heating into his forecasts in the conservative heartland of Iowa. Not everyone was receptive.

    Rule of law applies to none of our government.

    Again, you’re overlooking a huge difference. Yes, both sides benefit from a legal loophole that let’s them engage in insider trading. But one party tried to literally overthrow the government because they lost an election and then seamlessly pivoted to lying constantly about the results of the election. One party’s leading candidate for president is literally promising institute party political purges of civil servants if he’s elected. One party has a bunch of heavily armed rednecks swearing personal loyalty to its leader. Do you think insider trading is even worth talking about when that other shit is happening right out in the open?

      Yep and what do you think is gonna happen to Trump or any other member of Congress that took part for all of that? Nothing, because the rule of law doesn’t apply to them. The Democrats won’t push hard enough and the Republicans will whip their moron fan base into more of a frenzy. The point I’m trying to convey is the whole system is fucked and needs to be undone and rebuilt. Climate change doesn’t actually matter a damn to either side while they’re busy fighting each other and trying to find new ways to line their pockets. Hell several Dems disrupted votes on green deals because they have a stake in fossil fuels. The government should be serving its people and their interests, not fighting itself.

      I’m done posting here, off to look at pictures of dogs.
