I just noticed this. How incredibly out of context of you. All the wind turbines in the world running for a thousand years could not kill off as many birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and other creatures than coal, oil and pesticides have in less than a hundred years.

Mine stayed mostly the same, people with kids got hit the hardest. I run my own business and my tax consultant is a conservative who can't stand t-rump. He says the so called tax cuts were only for people closer to t-rump's income range.

You don't have to worry about those scary wind turbines
The USA is heading back to the 19th century for its energy policy, which gives new meaning to the idea of coal in your stocking this Christmas.

If the Mueller report ever gets released, I'd be curious about what it has to report on oranges. Maybe there's a paragraph or two about carcinogenic windmills?

This is insane. How can a sitting president act this way out of some vague accusations and suspicion? 

I don't know. Maybe you just don't understand sarcasm and context. The sentences around my original statement, plus who I was replying to are there for a reason you know.

Obama doubled Trump!LOL 

And as usual, this statement lacks context. One important difference is that Trump has added a massive amount of debt while the economy has been relatively strong. Obama took on debt during the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Economists typically recommend that governments increase spending during times of economic struggle and pay it down when the economy recovers. Trump is doing the opposite. He did once claim that he could eliminate the debt in 8 years. This is not a good start for that pledge.
 

Yep, that statement lacks context.  And as usual, you- Progaardvark took my statement out of context. Just before I wrote that statement, I said, 

"Congress controls the budget and the purses strings. Not the President."   I was pointing out to EasyMoney that you can't blame the debt on the President'.   

But this doesn't actually address my comment. It's a diversion in semantics.

Anyway, you do realize that the budget is a two-way street? Have you ever heard the word "veto" before?

This has to be the most bizarre statement I've ever seen on the PA forums that is addressed to me. And it's not even about dog poop (if some of you can remember Dean's reply to me some years ago about this subject).

Really? Conspiracy theories from me? Can any of the other frequent posters to this thread remember me ever doing this? Maybe in jest? Wacko

I guess you're right about that one. If only Obama had the balls to declare the election illegitimate or stalled the election until we could address the Russian meddling problem. I wonder what your reaction would have been to that.
 



If Obama had declared the election illegitimate I would have called it the Biggest Political Flip Flop in history. And I would have thought Obama was crazy since...
Two weeks before the 2016 election, Obama said it was impossible to rig the election.

"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing." How many Americans would actually say something like that? Invite an adversary to hack another American's computer, whether intentional or not. He betrayed the United States a long time ago, bud.
