    This pointed out to me how they scratch each other’s backs. One rich guy buys “carbon credits” from another rich guy, like Al Gore. It’s my understanding that Gore made his wealth by selling carbon credits based in the Amazon rain forests. That way they “keep the money in the family.”

    As for coffee, the poor South American coffee growers, like the advertising icon, “Juan Valdez” gets screwed when these rich climate parasites put him out of business. That’s good though. It will make Juan dependent on socialist government handouts so that he will support their big government systems that will make the parasites richer.

    Many of those people made their money in legitimate ways. The climate parasites make their money with lies and climate hot air rhetoric.

    Not really. Their criteria sounds like they way oversampled New York, Chicago, and LA

    The difference is the climate change political parasites make their fortunes by hurting other people and forcing them to behave in the way the elites want. That is a fundamental aspect of the political left, control human behavior. They are obsessed with the concept. It is like an aphrodisiac for them. For old guys like Kerry, Gore and George Soros, it’s better than Viagra.

    I have been able to avoid some of it so far.

    BUT did you miss the proposal to do away with gas stoves? Did you see when they want to mandate changes to almost every appliance you can name? Biden has raised MPG standard on gas powered cars to the point where you will have little more than a lawn mower engine to run them. Have you seen the California plan to outlaw gas powered cars completely?

    Of course you have, but you won’t admit it.

    You play a smart game with your progressivism. You say “It’s not here now,” but you know if you get your way it’s coming.

    Be honest and DEFEND the radical agenda your side wants. The problem is, you can’t defend it and convince anyone, except those who are already on your side.

    For me it costs about 30 cents and it is better than the six dollar coffee.

    Yes, saw a proposal regarding gas stoves. And how did the the proposal affect you, besides emotionally?
    Yup, Biden raised the MPG for future cars. And When a Repub get into office he/she will lower it. How did the future MPG affect you?

    So I'm a progressive because I asked you how you specifically have been "forced" to behave the way elites want? Hmmmm. very odd. And as it turns out you've admitted you haven't been forced to do anything. Huh...go figure.
    For the record, I wouldn't buy an electric car if you paid me. Nope...I'll keep my gas powered pickup truck till I die. My wife will keep her gas powered SUV.

    As usual, you skirted the issue to preserve your progressive credentials.

    If I were a gourmet cook, I would be concerned. Gas stoves give you more control, a thing a progressive should appreciate. I were in the restaurant business, I’d be concerned for the same reason. I am sure that Gavin Newsom will be concerned and see to it that his next meal at the French Laundry will be exempted. That’s how it works for elites on your side. The rules they dictate to others don’t apply to them.

    So far as a Republican changing MPG standards, if you get your way, there will be one party, and that won’t happen. As you buying a gas powered car, good luck with doing that in California if the dictatorial progressives get their way. Once bad ideas get started in California, they spread to satellite states, like Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, Illinois and other one party Democrat controlled areas.

    So again, there is nothing you've been forced to do, correct? You can worry your little mind over things that haven't happened but that will only result in an ulcer. I do think it's comical you think I'm a progressive all because I called you out on the whole "being force" thingy. Heh heh heh.

    I’m not getting ulcer. I just don’t want your Democrat Party in control of everything. You probably don’t either since you have said you won’t buy an EV.

    Do you ever push back at Democrat Party ideas you don’t like? I’ve pushed back against the Republicans who want to ban abortions and I’ve posted often that I don’t care for Trump.

    Yes I have....I've posted often that I'm against their atrocious handling of illegal immigration. I've posted numerous times I'm against ANY....ANY gun banning or new gun laws. I've posted numerous times I'm against guys who pretend to be women competing against real women in sports. I've posted I'm against affirmative action. Shall I continue of has it gotten though your skull I'm not a progressive? Hell, I've stated NUMEROUS times on this forum I have NEVER voted for a Dem. Oh and I've stated on this forum that Biden is a buffoon and one of the worst presidents and that if I had my wish neither Biden or Trump would be running in '24. Anything else I can inform you on?

    It seems that we are in agreement on a lot of issues. We might differ on the anticipatory aspects.

    When you hear about a crazy Democrat or Republican idea, don’t assume that it will die on the vine. More of a few of them become laws or executive orders.

    I don't worry about EOs because the next pres will undo all the previous EOs. Such a stupid game our elected ass hats officials play.

    Then Fat Al Gore sold out to Big Oil for estimated $100 mil, tried to dodge taxes on it

    It's just one con after another with these folks.

    Trump's a Blue Collar Billionaire.

    [​IMG]

    THE DAILY CHART: ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE WHILE TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT. . .

    'Ronald Reagan’s famous closing question from 1980: Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to buy what you need at the store than it was four years ago?'

    Let's go to the data:

    [​IMG]

    Under Trump you never made less than when Trump started.
    Under Bribed Joe, you never made more than when he started.

    Black Poverty was diving under Trump, Under Bribed Joe Black Poverty is rising again.

    [​IMG]

    The Rich Privileged Gentry want us all to shut up about how bad the Bribed Joe Economy is.

    YOU KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO END UP HERE EVENTUALLY: How much does human breathing contribute to climate change? All those billions of bodies exhaling carbon dioxide with every breath really starts to add up…

    Yes, the world would be much better off without humans, except for Kerry, Gore, Gates, Soros and the slaves who are needed to serve them, of course. They would also need one oil refinery to make fuel for the private jet they would need. And they would need a solar power zapper to do away with any surplus humans they found who were polluting their air with CO2. It would an ideal world with those "masters of the universe" running it.

    Not true! You forget the exurbs. They are places with populations of 30k -100k that are 50 or more miles away from any other metro area. A lot of people leaving blue states and cities are moving to communities like this in red states and even in blue ones as they are far enough away from urban core centers that they can’t really enforce their crap on another local area, so with exurbs being the economic and cultural hubs of larger rural areas we won’t be outnumbered anytime soon.

    You are right on the spot. I moved into one of those places (30k-100k) city/town 50-75 miles away from Metro area during COVID-19. And guess what ? Not only I, many other liberals who now work from home moved into those city. We are here and we are changing the way those (30k-100k) cities operates. We are replacing the school board, we are replacing the city council, we are showing up in local library gathering and local BBQ stop. We are inviting our other friend from big city. Brik by brik, we are changing the way conservative ran this country past 200 years!

    Oh , if you have not guessed, we are voting BLUE. that’s why today GA has two senators who are democrat, AZ has tow senators who are democrats. It’s just matter of time when TX became blue. But you keep bragging about “people moving into small town from Blue state”.

    Trump Is Not the Cause of the Chaos The Privileged Gentry Are

    upload_2024-1-30_16-39-36.png

    'Trump is not the cause of this uproar. The behavior they deem beyond the pale and disqualifying is largely the effect of the vicious and dishonest attacks they have leveled against him since he announced his candidacy in 2015.'

    'Donald Trump is the greatest victim not felled by an assassin in the history of the presidency. No one has more of a right to express grievance than this man whose enemies have sought retribution against him for the sin of winning an election. He is a man under siege who largely lashes out in self-defense.'

    The Elites:
    • 'Cast him as a Russian agent who colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election.
    • Branded him a racist by falsely claiming he praised white supremacists and neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville.
    • Portrayed him as a nincompoop by insisting that he had instructed Americans to inject bleach to fight COVID.
    • Helped swing the 2020 election by enabling Joe Biden and 51 former high-ranking intelligence officials to dismiss the evidence of his son Hunter’s shady foreign business dealings as likely “Russian disinformation.”'
    And the more they attack him, the more his position improves. It's like their hatred and fury just make him stronger or something.

    Far more Americans support Trump for President that support Bribed Joe.
