@SamaHoole Ive seen different versions of this post with same pic. Hippie "Activist" always made to look stupid as thoughtful "Farmer" puts her in her place. "Farmer" is prob on the verge of bankruptcy after voting for trump 3 times.

Activist: "We should plant trees to fight climate change." Farmer: "On grassland?" Activist: "Everywhere possible." Farmer: "Grassland holds 200 tonnes of carbon per hectare. Forest on the same soil? Maybe 100." Activist: "But trees sequester faster..." Farmer: "Above ground. Where it burns." Activist: "Trees are permanent..." Farmer: "Until fire, drought, beetle, or chainsaw." Activist: "Surely trees are better..." Farmer: "At looking impressive in a press release? Yes. At storing carbon? No." Activist: "Then why doesn't anyone talk about this?" Farmer: "A man with a sapling and a spade makes a good photo. 200 acres of grass and 40 years of patience doesn't fit on a billboard."

@FredFryer6 @thehill Lol. You proved my point. Thank you!

@GoldNugget_1 @thehill Russian collusion, fake, quid pro quo, fake, Smollett fake, Covington Catholic kids, fake, the border is secure, fake, Biden inflation transitory, fake, mighty fine people, fake, Al Gore climate predictions FAKE! Biden mentally fit, fake, Harris is going to win, fake!!!!!

Trump’s disapproval rating hits new high: Poll thehill.com/homenews/admin…

@FredFryer6 @thehill Polls that show trump is unpopular: Fake Elections that trump doesn't win: Fake News that trump doesnt like: Fake Investigations that prove trump is a crook: Fake Only conspiracies are real in Magaland.

@thehill Fake polls meant to influence the election

@Amy_90_x Adults have always believed the current generation is especially lazy & disrespectful. Heres Socrates from 2000 BC: "The children now love luxury; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise..." More here: proto-knowledge.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-i…

Those born in that era do you agree?

@otokyo__ 20/20

I got only 1 point. You?

@Frio_river @IsmailV95331619 @JaredRyanSears This is a made up number. Just because Republicans repeat it over & over doesn't make it true. Please provide a verifiable source or stop spreading Israeli propaganda.

@IsmailV95331619 @JaredRyanSears How easily you forget the 30,000 people Iran killed....for protesting. You are a complete idiot.

It is becoming increasingly clear that Trump thought the US and Israel could launch attacks, take out Khamenei, and then turn around and get an immediate ceasefire from Iran. A serious miscalculation. Many have been killed, including Iranian girls going to school, 4 US service members, and people in Israel, UAE, Bahrain, Pakistan, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Iraq. At least 600 dead so far. Alliances are being strained, stockpiles are being depleted, and there is so little coordination that a friendly nation accidentally shot down three US jets. There was no imminent threat. No need to launch this attack without Congressional approval, and clearly no follow-up plan. Already, the talk has changed from a 1 to 2-day operation to 4-5 weeks, and it could easily be much longer. This is what happens when someone thinks he can do whatever he wants and others, particularly Congress, let him get away with it.

@MThesleff @joni_askola The only tool in his toolbox is a sledgehammer & his only strategy is to hit harder. There isnt an ounce of wisdom, nuance or patience in him.

@joni_askola For him, leading is mainly bullying, threatening and cajoling. That’s abysmal leadership and will quickly fire back

History will view Trump as the primary accelerator of the end of US hegemony. His chaotic foreign policy has perfectly paved the way for the rise of China and a new multipolar reality. He is actively dismantling American global influence

@BrianSkirrow @joni_askola @paulturner2012 What would Harris have done? No tarriffs or tarriff driven inflation. No war in Iran or oil driven inflation. DoJ prosecuting criminals instead of political foes. Pedos prosecuted. Allies that dont hate us. Russia pushed out of Ukraine. Lower deficit. Affordable healthcare.

@joni_askola @paulturner2012 What would Harris have done you dumbarse?

In just over a year, Trump has made the US weaker, poorer, less respected, and dangerously overstretched. It will take decades to rebuild the standing he has completely destroyed

@sparky01 @ArtCandee Dem prosecuters focus on proving facts with evidence. Thats why they get convictions. Republicans focus on imaginary conspiracies and their cases get tossed out of court. MAGA doesn't understand the difference & creates another conspiracy to explain it.

@ArtCandee Did he break laws on books? Proven law breaking? Perjury? If not don’t think dem will be coming for him. They dislike him big time but not retribution driven like maga base. If get back in don’t think wuld waste trust on this & focus on real issues hopefully

Dan Bongino tells Sean Hannity of Fox News that he's scared of imprisonment if Democrats win back the majority in Congress at midterms. Good. Love this for him. 🍿

@Grob2point0 @BadAss6360 What MAGA considers important: Immigration & their weird obsession with trans people. Not important: Endless lies, stupid wars, open corruption, Epstien files, subservience to Putin & Bibi, weaponizing the DOJ, ICE murders, disrespect for military & grabbing pussies.

@BadAss6360 "I'm going to vote for the party of mass illegal immigration, open borders, child mutilation and Affirmative Action because I'm mad about Iran" You are retarded.

@BartDePalma @micyoung75 The intent was to move away from dependence on oil & gas and develop robust renewable energy sources. Exactly what China is investing billions in now. The current mess in the ME & high gas prices proves the wisdom in that policy. But oil runs through the veins of Republicans.

@micyoung75 Roberts was being polite. The open intent was to destroy and replace the private energy sector with a government directed replacement. The definition of irreparable harm.

The New York Times recently published leaked Supreme Court memos from 2016, when a majority of justices voted to block the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan before any lower court had ruled on it. Chief Justice Roberts argued the EPA regulations would cause "irreparable harm" through a "substantial and irreversible reordering of the domestic power sector." It was the wrong standard - the lower court hadn't been given a chance to rule. And it was applied with no consideration of the harm the Obama administration would suffer from having its major policy blocked. Now read that against the second Trump administration's record on the same emergency docket. The Trump administration has filed a record number of shadow docket applications and has won 80 percent of the time. The Court has allowed, through this process with little or no written reasoning, mass layoffs at the Education Department, racial profiling in immigration sweeps, and the termination of legal immigration status for hundreds of thousands of people. The "irreparable harm" standard Roberts applied in 2016 - that delay in implementing a desired policy causes sufficient harm to justify emergency intervention - is precisely what he applied to the Obama climate rule. The same standard has since been applied to Trump administration policies that, by any measure, have produced a far greater reordering of American institutions than anything the Clean Power Plan envisioned. The memos reveal something simple: the standard was not principled in 2016. The record since then confirms it still isn't.

@_sn_n Illegal immigrants dont get free healthcare. But they are the scapegoat Republicans want you to blame.

people will literally vote for Republican governance then complain when they have to deal with Republican governance

@herd_member @DrNeilStone What difference does it make? Conspiracy believers can latch on to a decades old, debunked study and still use it to justify their bonkers, paranoid theories. Science is now suspect & FB is truth.

@DrNeilStone They haven't stood the test of time. Vaccines should be tested for long term effects over 14 years, which is obviously impossible.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever

@cturnbull1968 Because US oil companies sell all our oil on the world market, then consumers buy it back at market prices. The more we struggle, the more they profit.

I need some help from my MAGA associates. This a 5 year graph of oil prices. When they spiked, under Biden, you blamed it on lack of drilling and the Keystone pipeline. So now that we’re “energy independent” and “drill baby drill,” why are oil prices so high?

@MattLightner11 @marceelias No, it shows for the sixth time that the Fed has no role in running elections unless Congress agrees, per the Constitution. Not everything is a conspiracy.

@marceelias All this shows is that AZ is scared shitless of showing them.

🚨BREAKING: Trump appointed federal judge in Arizona hands DOJ its sixth defeat in its efforts to gain access to state voter files. DOJ is now 0-6 in these cases. Three of the defeats have come before Trump appointees. Real possiblilty DOJ might go 0-30. democracydocket.com/cases/arizona-…

@cw_janene @PatriotSammi Im in Nor Calif & watching the snowcap disappear on Mt Shasta has been shocking. It used to be snow covered year round. Now its nearly bare in the summer. Even the glaciers at the top are gone. But local right wingers still deny climate change is real.

@PatriotSammi I live in the Pacific Northwest. This was the first winter that we did not have ONE bit of snow. Every year before this, we would have at least 2 snow days - usually one in November & one in February. This is so screwed up!

The Pacific Ocean is basically turning into a giant pressure cooker right now. 🌊🔥 Scientists are watching the water simmer, and they’re worried it’s about to "boil over" into a Super El Niño. This isn't just about a hot summer; it’s about the Earth hitting a point where it can't cool back down. We’re looking at a permanent jump in temperature—nearly 3 degrees hotter than where we should be. When the ocean vents that much heat, it’s like flipping a switch that you can’t flip back. It trashes the fisheries, kills the reefs, and messes up the rain patterns we rely on to grow food. Essentially, we’re moving into a "new normal" where the weather is just permanently broken. Instead of a temporary heat spike, we’re basically moving into a house that’s already on fire. How’s the weather looking where you are? Because it feels like the "seasons" don't even exist anymore where I am. #DemsUnited #Climate

@HistoryTeachdfk @TheMaineWonk This is a lazy attitude. Our foreign wars always begin in Republican administrations. ICE is an evil trumpy creation. The debt explodes under Republicans while we slash the safety net. Dems are always expected to fix the mess & get reamed for not fixing it fast enough.

@TheMaineWonk Who cares which side wins? The same economic policies will hold, the same war will continue, ICE will still do its thing. None of this has changed under the last 5 presidencies.

Donald Trump’s net approval rating on the economy at this point in a term, is the worst in American history. Good luck in the Midterms, GOP.

@RonFilipkowski This fellow says the truth from this administration is hanging by a thread. I’d say that thread broke on the day Trump was elected.

@Darkdeedfiles @tedlieu Republicans passed laws to make it illegal to start counting mail in votes until after polls close. This is exactly the result they were going for. 'Dumps' of counted mail in ballots arriving after the same day vote and conspiracy loving Rs spin it into fraud for the ignorant.

Sarah Longwell explaining election returns like she hasn't spent eight years on GOP payroll telling donors why losing is actually winning. The mail dump pattern exists. Everyone saw it in 2020, everyone saw it last night. Pretending otherwise is a job requirement for the consultant class.

1. It is a fact of human nature that anyone who is an “extraordinarily brilliant person” never feels the need to say that. 2. On rare occasions the Browns, with great Spirit, have a lead going into the fourth quarter. But then they lose at the end of the game. Must be rigged!

Oh, you mean all of the women Trump shoved in the back behind himself and the men?
