      american37 What? No way! There is definitely no correlation! Once when I had a few beers, I had no wobbling at all. Another time nothing happened. Everything just got black! Clearly there is no risk or anything involved and global wobbling from alcholic drinks is a myth!

      Oh big deal. I used to get annoyed when people misspell but you have to pick your battles. If you want to improve people's grammar, why not donate time to your local time bank and help people that way, instead of insulting them behind a keyboard? We have to change this "I" mentality in this country or things will NEVER improve. Be a good neighbor. Find commonalities rather than differences with people. I just became fast friends with a neighbor who I've lived next door to for 8yrs and barely knew her. She is someone who is a lot older than me, but I didn't think she was. Turns out, we get a long great! Make an efforts to be nice.

      The last part is impossible. All your politicians are bought. All of them have big corporations backing them. Which is why the system is screwed. The system should be as followed. If you are back in anyway by a business from medium to large you are not allowed to run for any kind of office.
      How they then spread the word. Make rules that candidates will get an equal amount of time on television to say what they want, and that is it. Nothing else no backing what so ever.
      but hey making election, and other things fair. Yeah not going to happen. Businesses have to much invested in keeping the poor, poor, and the rich , rich.

      Nando Sori I do agree with you, and I will cede that my phrasing was ill-conceived, as it was more of a sartorial attempt to dismiss the intentions of the Orange Buffoon.
      Referring to the past as some sort of ideal fails to recognise the struggles of the disenfranchised to achieve equality. The past was only really great for a certain few. The true aim should be to make America better for all people, to establish the opportunity for success for all people - and that means moving forward, not backwards.
      So, in short, thank you for calling me out on my poor phrasing.

    I remember when this took place, I was in continental Europe at the time, somewhere in southern France, for work and studies. And i recall that it was all over french news for a couple of days, as they really just could not believe how willfully ignorant these government officials were when it came to climate change and global warming.
    People outside of the U.S. were just astonished...
    I remember when the host played clips from this same event on national t.v., and the main guests; some minister from the french conservative LREM party, and a climate activist from green EELV party, actually both laughed because they truely thought that it was satire! The host then tried to explain, and the conservative still wasn't having it. He started defending the American conservative movement, by comparing it to the French equivalent, and referencing original conservative principles etc...
    But then the other guest caught on and said "-Oh, but the American conservatives are different, their movement is full of religious extremists who embrace 17th century superstitions and reject science... what we're seeing is really happening over there, it's quite unbelievable isn't it? In the 21st century, in the world's leading super power! " The conservative minister and the t.v. host end up agreeing with the member of the green party that America was in the process of losing all credibility in the eyes of the world, and that due to a growing overt distain for critical thinking, poor education, and rampant conspiratorial obscurantism, the U.S.A. was no longer in a position to be taken seriously on positions such as climate change, energy development, or progress in the public sector.
    At the time I remember thinking "That's a bit harsh!" And telling myself how it's probably just a phase that American politics we're going through... that eventually people would get a grip, and cooler heads would prevail, and America would end up leading the way into the new era of renewable energy and responsible production...
    How completely and utterly, very, very WRONG was I !?!?! 😂 😂 😂 😧
    Barely a decade later, and the U.S.A is a global laughing stock, whilst in the grips of a violent proto-fascist movement, with a ridiculous orange authoritarian wanabe dictator at the helm of the nation, and who defines "Truth" as "whatever makes him feel good about himself at any given moment in time".......😨
