Gromnir Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Are you guys seriously arguing over projected temperature increases? Really? You're that plugged inside the box? something in the water today? can't get anybody to pay attention. TRUMP offered numbers which he claimed were the impact Paris Agreement would have on projected temp increases. he did so in a televised speech. TRUMP wh claimed the mitigation numbers the President offered came from MIT. unfortunate for trump, MIT refuted the alternative facts with the actual numbers they had provided. nobody here has actual argued the projected temp increase. serious folks, wth is going on today?

Bartimaeus Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 [thread title] 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

It’s over.” ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Kh7nLplWo HA! Good Fun!

SonicMage117 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Alternative Facts: Things that are common sense but nobody either wants to admit or care enough to acknowledge as fact. It's one of those things where you continue to live in denial until something drastic in your life opens your eyes, the edge of death is usually what it takes to see things in that different perspective. Isn't it? Of course those are not my words but it does make sense. Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone!

Gfted1 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Here’s a way to silence Trump on Twitter: Buy the microblogging service. Bwahahaha, this is the problem with living in a world of perpetual pant-crapping, now you have to take everything to 11 just to get a reaction.

Gromnir Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 am not sure if buying twitter to prevent trump from posting alternative facts via that medium is in keeping with the spirit o' the thread, but more than once we has blurred such lines. all good. in any event, phoenix offered far too many alternative facts to post all in one place. couple links to get started. http://www.npr.org/2017/08/23/545504933/fact-check-10-statements-from-trumps-phoenix-speech http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2017/aug/22/fact-checking-president-donald-trumps-campaign-ral/ oh, and an oldie-but-goodie...

Chilloutman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 i doubt Volo would ban anyone, he will rutn this to 4chan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read.

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Gromnir Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Good thing about conspiracies is the absence of evidence is evidence itself. and 'course if the doj had found evidence o' wiretaps, the left-wing conspiracy nutters would point out just how quick the attorney general were to help oust the head of the fbi 'cause comey were angering trump. the ag were not exactly placing himself between the President's wrath and the fbi when it came to ousting comey, so why would he do so to protect obama? surely sessions, with the entire resources o' doj at his disposal, coulda' found a few goons to fabricate or skew evidence to make obama look bad and save trump's reputation. old saw 'bout how conspiracies is like mushrooms, no? sh!t and darkness is what both need to grow.
