Crackers steal US border thug data base

jeudi 13 juin 2019 à 02:00

Crackers stole the data base of the people crossing the US border, straight from the US border thugs.

Exxon

jeudi 13 juin 2019 à 02:00

Exxon's scientists, in 1982, predicted the Earth's current CO2 level with fair accuracy, and anticipated some (but not all) of the disastrous effects that are already starting. The author compares the executives of ExxonMobil to fictional characters that destroyed planets.

The US Constitution prohibits ex-post-facto laws, correctly so. There is no way to retroactively criminalize what those executives did.

However, it may be possible for a wealth tax to impose a higher tax rate on wealth derived from fossil fuels.

Prohibition on going to help Syrian Kurds

jeudi 13 juin 2019 à 02:00

The UK will imprison people that go to help the Syrian Kurds.

This prohibition applies also to the rebels in Idlib. They are Islamists, but not a threat to anyone now.

Conman impeachment

mercredi 12 juin 2019 à 02:00

One Republican congresscritter says that the conman qualifies for impeachment.

Declining sex rates

mercredi 12 juin 2019 à 02:00

Many demographic categories report having sex less now than in the past. It might be due to the general stress and anxiety of life in the advanced countries.

I suspect it is also due to the lack of any generally accepted way for men to express romantic or sexual interest in women. By "generally accepted", I mean that he can count on a woman who declines his interest not to revile him for expressing it that way.
