Dude, enough about Obama! He hasn't been president for five years now. Stop talking about him.
So what is the time limit? When you decide will you let all the democrats know so they can quit talking about Trump?
the irony is strong with this one
When Trump demonstrates an ounce of the class that Obama had. You might not have noticed but Trump hasn't exactly stepped away from the limelight and won't as long as the cultists keep funding his golden grift.
I'm pretty sure obama has given his 2 cents on multiple issues in the last year. Also saw him make multiple appearances on the campaign trail for candidates in the last year- you might not have noticed, though.
Not that this is current or anything.

Obama denounces Trump, GOP, for 'active hostility toward climate science'
In a speech at the U.N. Climate Change Conference, Obama urged voters to “vote like your life depends on it, because it does.”

They won’t. Not sure of your point there. Your team had a chance to make some incremental climate progress, but instead, they trotted out a $3.5T abomination that was then slashed in half and now killed entirely. Because they are too far left for this country and misinterpreted anti-Trump sentiment for pro-leftist sentiment.
Why is it only up to the dems to solve long-term problems like climate change while repubs get to just pretend it is not real? That is your team. Enjoy.
Yes I was giving you shit about complaining ad nauseam when anyone brings up trump. I am not surprised it went over your head.
My old biz school roommate sold his waterfront home in NJ due to constantly increasing flooding. Bought a new house inland but did not like it so they flipped that one. Now has bought a new waterfront home but it is high above the flood plain so it will be safe from rising seas.
I cant speak to Obama's situation b/c I don't follow his comings and goings like you do. But it is possible to buy waterfront property that is not in danger of flooding with what is coming in the next 20-30 years.
lol'ing at the idea that you're not allowed to both be worried about potential flooding and the issues with climate change and also purchase water front properties
This is not the first time that @jakefest has said that Obama buying waterfront property proves that global warming isnt real.
yeah i thought i had read something similarly stupid on here before.
IF YOU'RE NOT GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD, USING SOLAR PANELS TO GENERATE ALL OF YOUR OWN POWER, AND AREN'T RUNNING/BIKING EVERYWHERE YOU CAN'T COMMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Yeah, because telling the world that climate change is going to be the end all be all but then spending generational wealth on an ocean front property is the best way to go about getting a whole country to believe in your theory.
You know the issue with libs is they just aren't good at messaging. Well that and the policies are stupid but mainly messaging.
When you try to slide in a policy that has sh*t like "tree equity" in it, people with a partial brain start to realize how f*cking wasteful and stupid the policy is and stop listening to even the smallest portion that makes sense thus creating more divide and time suck on resources and govt spend. You then follow up with how overpasses are racist and you wonder why half the country thinks you ought to be kicked in your face.
I'd like to write more here but me and Joe Manchin are about to go out for celebratory beers, without masks and no boosters......living dangerously
oh and @nytigerfan ......Univ of Phoenix isn't a B school I'd be telling everyone I met friends at.
who cares how he decides to spend his deep state money? and it's not HIS theory - it's supported by 99% of the world's scientists, sorry the handful of pseudoscientists that go on joe rogan's podcast lead you to believe it's hokey.
Ohhhhh, right.....they are only scientists if they agree with what you believe? That's the level of thinking that's had the whole of the country locked down and people driving around in their cars with no passengers wearing masks.
You're the same dude that said ivermectin was a horse pill without actually discovering that it's been prescribed for donkey's years to treat all sorts of sh*t.
The reality is most can wrap their heads around climate change being a thing, the devil is in the severity of the changes and how the govt should respond to it using debt and tax dollars at their leisure.
Really gotta go.....Manchin is starting to shotgun natty lights......I guess you can take the boy out West Virginia but not the West Virginia out of the boy
Cheap oil would suck right now, wouldn't it?
No, but I tend to lead credence to when an overwhelming majority of experts in a field agree with something. What’s more likely, 97-99% of scientists are wrong or are corrupt, or the remaining 1 - 3% of opposition are wrong/corrupt? Especially when those dissenters realize the money that can be made on the right wing circuit grifting the mouth breathing @TigerGrowls portion of republicans
ivermectin is horse medicine. That’s a fact. It being used to treat other things periodically is beside the fact - especially when the producers of the drug come out and say “don’t take our drug for COVID.”
the funniest thing about all this is the antivax community’s jihad against the vaccine bc of “lack of scientific evidence.” they’ll guzzle down any alternative “solution” despite having barely a fraction of supporting data - especially enough to warrant FDA approvals
Great, then tell me why that when anyone with an opposing position or opinion gets suppressed on every major big tech controlled outlet? These aren't just hacks, these are well published guys that are scientific fellows at places like Stanford, MIT, etc. Why are they censored or flagged as misinformation?
What's shocking is that you'll sit here and claim that money is to be made from right wing grifters when Pfizer are calling the shots for the govt and just forecasted $31B in covid related vaccine sales for 2022 and magically just publicly said they don't expect the virus to go away until 2024 while suggesting boosters will be annual, it's now good for your 5 year old, etc.......the expects are making billions of dollars but you claim they don't have a vested interest though, right?
Btw - $400 a pop for covid tests in Manhattan......if you just take the positive test count of 21,000 that's $8.4m in one day of test kit sales. Now multiply that by 5x for secondary tests and negative results. If you don't think Covid is just as much about money at this point, I don't know how to help you. That's a single city on a single day of testing. Quantify that out across the country and do it for a full year before you tell me why we are still driving vaccines and testing.
The reality is I have no war with the vaccines other than folks like Elizabeth Warren who has all 3 shots and wears face masks to sleep alone with her 9 cats but yet somehow still has covid. Half my town has covid and everyone here is vaccinated. How could New York see the same spike as Florida despite lockdowns, vaccine requirements, vaccine passports, mask mandates, etc? And you wonder why people question them?
How could New York see the same spike as Florida despite lockdowns, vaccine requirements, vaccine passports, mask mandates, etc?
Hmmm. Yea, i can't even think of what the difference between NYC and the state of Florida might be. They are very similar in climate and density of population, so that can't be it.
idk man, probably because the information they use to cite their explanations haven't "been supported by any randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials" per Dr. Malik of Ascension St. John. i don't know who all the latest medical quacks you guys are citing to show that covid is a hoax and vaccines are bad, but the yahoo article below is from the latest quick google search.
if your next argument is that big pharma isn't a massive grift you won't get any opposition from me. but, it seems counterintuitive to create and market a product that will kill people who take it. seems like bad business, but then again cigarette companies are still making money hand over fist. if you want to argue that big pharma is more interested in treating than curing, sure i'd also agree with that.
the vaccine doesn't prevent infection, but data shows it does help curb the infection rate. speaking personally, i could see how there's been an uptick in covid recently considering people's lax social distancing standards and with how infectious Omicron is compared to other strains. luckily this strain isn't as deadly so hopefully the hospitals aren't as impacted as they were with the other ones. i mean shit i never wear a mask anymore unless i have to and i go about my day like i did before COVID came around. mainly because i'm vaccinated and don't really deal with large groups of people often.

How much of that pipeline was built during the Trump era? How much oil was put through it? When was the actual completion date?
(3 miles, none, like 2030)
Gas prices rose to pr-covid levels bc people started driving again and people freaked out. Inflation is happening but that is also a result of not raising interest rates when we could have. This was a long time coming.
I'm not a biden fan--he should be doing more--but the admin has been aggressive with trying to combat gas prices and the distribution, supply chain crisis that hasn't materialized.
well there is climate change so I guess there probably isn't much difference between FL and NYC now.......
"you guys".....laughable. Dude, listen to me......the global investment banks have built Covid analyst desks to track Infection rates, death rates, effective treatments, vaccine success etc and that's not for directly linked investments per Goldman, it was mainly because they didn't know what was factual and what wasn't to make global decisions around wfh or return to work, office relocations etc. We hired two quants last year to build streaming TWAP and VWAP but took one of them off of that project to build similar predictive models. While I won't sit here and tell you that covid doesn't exist and that it hasn't been deadly for some, I can tell you that the method we have taken to fight it needed to be reconsidered earlier this year.idk man, probably because the information they use to cite their explanations haven't "been supported by any randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials" per Dr. Malik of Ascension St. John. i don't know who all the latest medical quacks you guys are citing to show that covid is a hoax and vaccines are bad, but the yahoo article below is from the latest quick google search.

The challenge with the vaccine data in regards to slowing the infection rate is you don't know how many people had covid before or after they received the vaccine and therefore have natural immunity. as the science blowhards refused to look at that data. That's not factored in anywhere . The next data point is whether or not the vaccine prevents severe illness, that's the data point where I think it's positive. When you see 21,000 people test positive in a single day, it's really really hard not to think most of the country hasn't had it already.
The mask mandate wasn't built on a proper medical trial or study........plenty of doctors/scientists have flagged that and plenty have been taken off formal distribution channels like YouTube, Twitter, Faceook etc. Peer reviews in science aren't always the right outcome, just ask Einstein about Relative Theory when you reach heaven. Also, don't confuse environmental "scientists" with actual meteorological science. Two different things with two different motivations and if you really want to get a better understanding, track funding of think tanks, science groups, science related non-profits, health groups etc. I think you'd be shocked to see where the money flows from and why there might be quid pro quo/balance of trade influence.

Ivy League researcher hits brick wall with medical journals on COVID vaccine death study
Rejections are largely "not very substantive," though feedback has strengthened his argument that vaccines and deaths are not simply correlated.
justthenews.com
Ignore the study overall, you won't agree that it could be viable anyway but pay attention to the portion that talks about how scientists/doctors don't have time to perform their own research:
"Doctors rarely have time to do more than read the headlines in the abstract and trust that the science was done rigorously," he said, leaving them dangerously reliant on journal articles that may not pass muster. He wants to "help facilitate a paradigm shift on mass vaccination strategies that could potentially save many lives."

That is crazy, I had no idea that the Trump vaccine was killing so many people. No wonder his own people booed him this weekend when he bragged about having invented the vaccine and admitted that he secretly got boosted.
Trump really sucked as a President. The killer vaccine. Shutting down our country for 30 days (and then criticizing Brian Kemp for reopening too soon). Worst president in our history. #trumpvaccinekills
