    Agreed. People need to check partisanship at the door.

    Your descendants are going to deal with hardships you can’t imagine and you want to protect the men who share much of the responsibility for it. Yet you want to deny this and protect him as if they’ve done something for you. They haven’t, they wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. If you knew for a fact that a single person or a select few were responsible for much of your personality suffering, would you be so eager to protect them?

    I wish her a swift recovery and I hope she has the good sense to retire. Either way Trump”s going to get one more pick.

    You posted this on PoliticalForum on Oct 29, 2018. Nice to see you DO believe in recycling.

    And no, I'm not stalking you - I was attempting to find out which show this was from and it's literally the first Google hit, which makes it possible you just made it up.

    I hope not, but then again nothing would make it more likely for the next Democratic President and Democratic-controlled Senate to expand the Court.

    Or just make up some phony rule about not confirming a SC justice during an election year, then turn around and break it four years later. :shrug:

    Dayton thinks that this is dumb, but it is what will happen because of Koch and people like him.

    That's tomorrow's problem. I have my own. My grandchildren if I'm blessed with them have their own abilities to fall back on.

    And IIRC, members here once greatly ridiculed my wanting to "level the road" for my child and future grandchildren.

    You're an evil, evil man.

    Just like Koch but less competent.

    Like your faith in the GOP, the apostrophe is misplaced.

    So, to get out of being evil, you're going to cop to being clumsy and stupid?
    Please say yes.

    His wife's genetics can only help so much. I'm not even sure cognitive thought stands more than a 30:70 shot, unless his daughter marries Reed Richards.

    Yes you do. Promoting actions which make the world unlivable for future generations is just one example.

    A few degrees warmer isn't going to make the Earth unlivable.

    Stop exaggerating.

    I'm sorry. I forgot that you had multiple PhD's, entitling you to overrule all of the scientists who say that it will.

    Of course, the fact that know-nothings like you confidently assert this shows that Koch has done his work well.

    Can you cite some scientists with multiple PhDs that claim that the Earth is going to become unlivable because of a few degree increase in global temperatures?

    The top global alarmist entity just recently told us their worst case scenario - assuming NO new technology or efficiencies are discovered - is that in about 80 years our GDP might be reduced by 10% (who was it, the IPAA?).

    Meanwhile we've got things like mega volcanos and meteors to frett about.
