So again, I ask both of you. Any proof beyond Hyperbole. As far as Climate change? I agree with that policy completely. So many different factors and research have come forward showing that climate change isn't the end of the world event that Al Gore started back in 2000.

BTW as far as Proof, I am talking about his 100 day agenda or things along that line. If we hold every politician to his debates then Obama has failed big time on a number of things

You want proof that climate change is a big fething deal? Go look on NASA's website. Unless you don't think that bigger and more frequent hurricanes, droughts, rising sea levels, ecosystem destruction and a lot more are big deals.

How about the fact that NASA themselves have said that the Antarctic ice has grown? or the record winters we have had in recent years? or the fact that Global climate change is a FACT that has been around FOREVER! ice ages comes and go, during the Jurassic period the earth was a lot hotter then it is today. So yea, i don't hold much faith in a report that the world is going to end Waterworld style.

Look at the fething website and read it. It even has breakdowns of the effects on regions in the USA. Here's a surprise, antarctica getting slightly bigger doesn't mean that you won't be fethed.

I never realised that somebody saying they would order soldiers to commit war crimes was vague hyperbole.

From the Hyperbole riddled video you showed, I think he said "Go after" not Shoot on site. And under most RoEs they would be legitimate targets for capture and detainment.

Except the question specifically brings up whether the US military would refuse illegal orders. To which Trump says no, they would not even if they were illegal.

So, you are once again wrong.

Fortunately nobody is saying that's how it's going to end up. But you don't have to have the world reduced to a handful of desperate survivors on their tiny islands to have major problems. For example, what do you do if climate changes cause major agricultural regions to stop being so productive? People might not be drowning, but you're going to have food shortages and massive economic disruption. Or what do you do if you have tens of millions of refugees from coastal areas that lost their homes and jobs to flooding? What do you do when hurricanes/fires/etc keep adding up the damage costs?

How'd this thread get from a question about GW's stance on Alt-Right 40K memes to bickering over climate change?...

Why do you think that is Malus? Are there millions of illegal Asians? Europeans or Canadians running around America? I won't lie and say I have looked up the numbers but I am willing to bet that every other country in the world combined doesn't equal 1/10th the number of illegals from Mexico and Central/South America.

Mexicans made up 52% of all illegal immigrants in 2014. The total number of Mexicans who had illegally immigrated was 5.8 million, this number had declined from its peak in 2009 by 600,000. Meanwhile, non-Mexican illegal immigrants, mostly from Asia (ie India and China) are increasing by 300,000 each year. So it is likely that by now Mexico probably doesn't even account for half of all illegal immigration. This means your estimate of 90% is wrong by a very large margin.

I find it interesting that we just went through a year long presidential campaign in which illegal immigration was a major campaign element of one candidate, and you never even spent the time to find out how illegal immigration actually worked, and why the proposals of that presidential candidate made so little sense given the reality of illegal immigration today.

Does Trump actually have any policies? I thought he had already back-pedalled on everything he said in the campaign.

In the last few weeks he's actually clarified his actual, final positions on some stuff.

He was telling the truth when he promised his tax cut for the rich. He was lying about taxing rich people more.

He was lying about replacing and repealing ACA.

He was lying when he talked about leaving social security and medicare alone. He's actually going with the standard Republican thing about vouchers and privatisation.

His big plan for infrastructure is a tax cut to people who are already developing new infrastructure. There is nothing in his plan for repairing and maintaining existing infrastructure, or doing anything for infrastructure that isn't capable of turning a profit.


Fairly predictably, the people who defended Trump as he flipped back and forth on all these issues, are still defending Trump.

Well, let's just give him a chance. He may have lied and be swirling around his own policies now, but let's see what actually hits the table legislatively.

I mean...if you think of all the popular science fiction universes

40k is much more violent and darker than say star trek, star wars, etc.
