If climate change were one of my top priorities in the Presidential election that would mean more to me than it does.

Climate change is the most important topic unless you think humans aren't causing it.

For president of the U.S. ? Naaaa

 

Look, the world is working on climate change. They aren't going to stop.

 

Problem is, until they start demanding regulations in countries like China like we have here or in Europe, not much will improve on the problem.

 

I laughed at the article making a huge deal about her saying the U.S. Can not make a difference and then used a stat that basically is so minuscule it's meaningless.

 

It's clear the author was working hard to act like she is dumb.

 

Personally, I will be looking at what the candidate wants to do domestically with jobs, economy, health care, taxes, social safety nets, reasonable management of our military.....etc before im worried about what an individual is going to do in the us with climate change......well, unless that individual throws all these these issues in the toilet for climate change.

Throw in, the dismantling of Dept of Ed, IRS, EPA, and other agencies that aren't needed.

 

Create jobs but not in gov't.

The environment needs to have a national organization looking after it. Pollution in one state affects others. E.g. drinking water in any area on the Missouri river is affected by what goes into the water in the states to the north. If there wasn't a national organization in place, wherever the source of the river starts, that state could just say eff it and let their industries dump whatever they want in the rivers as long as it makes them more money. This is just one little example. Leaving it up to the states is a bad idea. Maybe that's not what you're proposing but I don't trust any national non-government entity to be in charge of it.

 

With something like education I can see the argument. There is not a cut and dried best way to teach all students in every state, or even every neighborhood in the same city.

Just can't get enough of the gift-that-just-keeps-giving idiocy of the Trump campaign. CNN had on one of his mafioso campaign shills today and the guy literally says within a couple sentences, "Murica is the greatest country in the world!!!" Then, "Murica is getting beat all over the place, we're not great anymore, Murica NEEDS TO BE GREAT AGAIN" Right after that, finishes off with another flourish, "Murica is the greatest country in the world!!!"

 

Guess that's why they call it 'propaganda'.

 

Anyway, for those who know their history and have eyes to see, I must admit that Trump is perhaps the closest thing to Hiltler that the RepubliKlans* have ever rolled out onto the political scene. The parallels to current America and post WWI Germany are quite striking, and it follows that a certain growing faction would be drawn to Trump as might as well be using the Nazi handbook in his campaign. More on that later.

 

*(I have literally heard 2 of my coworkers say, in separate conversations, something to the effect that the what we need is Trump and the KKK to take over the country and that the military should set up shop on the border and shoot/bomb to kill, etc. Folks, this stuff is real, this is not a joke. Of course, if you are for Trump, then you are probably in favor of all this.)

What I think he doesn’t understand and what people don’t understand is words create emotional poison…Hitler moved a nation with words, just words,” the actress said. “So you have to expect this backlash. If you say something like that, as he has said, you must expect a backlash.”

Longoria also said Trump’s speech “struck a cord within our community that touched our emotions so deep that I don’t want to contribute to that poison being spread.” Eva Longoria http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2015/07/01/eva-longoria-compares-donald-trump-to-hitler/

 

Caplan, also NYU’s Director of Medical Ethics, predicted that while it’s easy to say Trump is not likely to win the support of the American public, 1930’s Germany felt similarly about Hitler and he wound up rising to power.

“Can Trump win? It seems unlikely,” the article says. “Of course that is what the media said about a funny-looking spewer of hate with an odd mustache who was dismissed as an awful public speaker and not a serious candidate in Germany in the 1930s.”

Caplan added, “Given a long time to spread racist drivel to a public nervous about preserving their national identity from ‘non-Germans,’ Adolf Hitler won.”

Caplan believes that Trump’s statements regarding illegal immigrants from Mexico are synonymous to Hitler’s infamous rhetoric about the Jewish population.

“When you disparage Mexican-Americans at every turn as the cause of all the country’s woes, and when you have the money to get you message out,” Caplan claimed, “Journalists should take you seriously.”

Because Caplan believes Trump is “dangerous,” he insists that the media and the GOP should be condemned for allowing Trump’s rhetoric to spread lightly, and not viewing him as a danger to our country.

“Let’s take Donald Trump seriously,” he wrote. “Treating him as a clown rather than a candidate gives him permission spew hate.”

In addition to his article, Campus Reform published some of Caplan’s tweets that continue to try and propagate a sense of fear over Trump and convince the public that Trump is essentially the 2015 equivalent of Hitler.

“Folks, Trump is rite [sic] on the Hitler flightpath,” he has tweeted along with, “Media is Fueling…a race baiting, evil, photo-Hitlerite by treating him like a buffoon.”

And in some tweets, Caplan’s mission to induce public fear and panic regarding Trump’s presidential candidacy is a little bit more obvious.

“All trump is missing are brownshirts,” Caplan tweeted. “He has all the rest. Dismiss him as a buffoon or a joke at the nation’s peril.”

And Caplan is not the only left-winged professor who believes that Republican leaders in 21st century America are synonymous to the notorious dictator who is responsible for the genocide of European Jews.

Sara Goldrick-Rab, a sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, made national headlines earlier this month for using Twitter to denounce Republican Wisconsin governor and presidential candidate Scott Walker.

“My grandfather, a psychologist, just walked me through similarities between Walker and Hitler,” the tax-payer funded educator tweeted. “There are so many — it’s terrifying.” (RELATED: HERE ARE THE TWEETS The Wisconsin Professor Sent To Random Freshmen After Comparing Scott Walker To Hitler)

Twenty-five years ago, when Pat Robertson and other radio and televangelists first spoke of the United States becoming a Christian nation that would build a global Christian empire, it was hard to take such hyperbolic rhetoric seriously. Today, such language no longer sounds like hyperbole but poses, instead, a very real threat to our freedom and our way of life.

 

( from American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America by Chris Hedges)

 

 

Mobile resident Jim Sherota, clutching a vaporizer in one hand and wearing a t-shirt of conservative musician Ted Nugent, took it one step further. "The way I see it they ought to make it a vacation spot," Sherota said. "OK, you want to come to the border, $25 for a permit, you can shoot all the people you want that cross illegally." ... As Trump spoke one man in the crowd could be heard yelling out "white power!" A Daily Kos contributor said this was not an isolated incident and that the phrase was yelled out multiple times by members of the crowd throughout the event.

[TGHusker]

Corn, you are so over the top that you neuter any of your argument/statements wt your ridiculous posts. So, now you link Trump to white supremacy because some guy out of 1000s (I think over 20k) in the crowd yelled 'white power". I guess you didn't know that the rally was opened by an African American pastor's prayer - but I guess if you knew that you'd not posted your video or probably you would have called the pastor a Uncle Tom or something worse.

[Husker_x]

I don't think it's possible to ignore the manipulative and directed way in which Trump is stirring up nativist sentiments to fuel his primary run. It's also not hard to connect those dots with similar tactics used throughout history. Using the age-old "They are coming to take our country away from us" mantra is a vile campaign tactic––which of course is why Trump is leading the Republican party in every poll. The Republican base is either comprised of or deeply sympathetic toward racists and xenophobes, who believe priority #1 in "making America great again" is to forcibly cleanse it of eleven million illegals, who are really nothing but scapegoats distracting an ignorant electorate from what's really happening in this country.

[HuskerNation1]

Carly Fiorina, such accomplishment. So fair and balanced. Why can't we give equal consideration to truth and nonsense?

 

Umm, a lot of what Carly has said has been accurate, and this lady is as tough as nails. The environmental left-wing nuts are out in full force because she pointed out a fact that all types of energy has downfalls. Wind turbines do kill birds, maybe not as many as were initially stated, but that is a fact. Also, her statements about the fact that the liberally controlled government in California is part of the cause of the water shortage issue they are currently facing was proven to be accurate. Starting in the early 80s with new environmental regulations, that slowed water reservoir solutions that would have kept a great deal of water from flowing out to the ocean. She is also right to state that this is not just a US issue, and our country should not bear the brunt of over-regulation. I agree that she needs to firm up her messaging on the environment, but for someone that has not been in the political scene, she is well versed on well spoken on many topics.

 

Fiorina is actually appealing to a lot of independents and some Democrats too. The Huffington Post actually wrote an article praising her, though they want her to be secretary of education.

Also, most importantly she has the support of Donnie Wahlberg. Lol. I couldn't pass that one up.

And hey, nothing is worse than Hilary asking if a cloth was needed to wipe the server clean. Did you see that mess of a press conference. Stick a fork in her...she is done. It looks like Biden is jumping into the race soon.

X - I'm not a Trump supporter but I disagree wt anyone labeling a candidate based on some guy in the crowd. The same is true if Sanders was the speaker and someone yelled out 'communist power' (yes I know socialism isn't communism in the same way conservatism isn't racism - by the way it was mainly southern Dems who were in the old white power organization of the past KKK). I personally don't know of any repub who believes what I have placed in bold in your quote - that again is a broad brush accusation that cannot be substantiated and only distracts from the discussion. Are their repubs who act/believe that way - I'm sure there are. Are their libs who would like to install a Soviet style gov't here - I'm sure there are - but those are all exceptions. Trump has struck a nerve about issues that need to be fixed in the country - that doesn't mean his solutions are correct but just that he gets support because he's willing to talk openly about them. As far as I can tell, he hasn't put forward serious, WORKABLE, solutions to the issues he raises - this is why I believe his star will eventually fade. His supporters, while vocal now, are not the totality of the republican base much less the republican party as a whole. Yes, Trump uses red meat to stir people up - but eventually a more rounded diet will be desired and a more 'conventional' candidate will rise to the top.

Well, she is acting sort of desperate for some reason.

For some reason she is acting like she is concerned about Bush while trying to tie him together with Mr. Idiot Floppy Hair. Meanwhile, she really needs to be more concerned about Sanders or Uncle Joe.

[carlfense]

How so?

No. She really doesn't. The GOP (when they aren't whining about a "coronation") desperately wants to make her appear weak by trumpeting every challenger. Nothing is more boring to the political media than a done deal . . . so they're desperately pretending that Hillary is in genuine danger of losing the primary. Think about the motivations behind the hot takes.

 

Any Democratic candidate would leap at the chance to switch places with Hillary, and with good reason.
