He was a grifter in business and he's a grifter in politics. Never going to change him.

He doesn’t have the executive power to do what you say.

He also has no support to do what he is ‘just asking’ about as the responses from senior republicans shows.

And there is no where near enough people surrounding him to make this happen.


My prediction is that he’ll be gone in November, probably wailing and spewing unsubstantiated bile, but he will be gone. It’s just a shame that we have to wait that long.

If he loses in November, he will fill his support with conspiracy theories about millions of illegal immigrants voting etc, and they will swallow it. It could get very messy. If he's on the wrong end of a close result, there will be violence. Only a landslide defeat will avoid that.

I never understood wind.
You know, I know
windmills very much.
I have studied it
better than anybody
else. It’s very expensive.
They are made in China
and Germany mostly.
—Very few made here, almost none,
but they are manufactured, tremendous
—if you are into this—
tremendous fumes. Gases are
spewing into the atmosphere. You know
we have a world
right?
So the world
is tiny
compared to the universe.
So tremendous, tremendous
amount of fumes and everything.
You talk about
the carbon footprint
— fumes are spewing into the air.
Right? Spewing.
Whether it’s in China,
Germany, it’s going into the air.
It’s our air
their air
everything — right?
A windmill will kill many bald eagles.
After a certain number
they make you turn the windmill off.
That is true.
—By the way
they make you turn it off.
And yet, if you killed one
they put you in jail.
That is OK.
You want to see a bird graveyard?
You just go.
Take a look.
A bird graveyard.
Go under a windmill someday,
you’ll see
more birds
than you’ve ever seen
in your life.

Hes actually right in what he saying.... windmills are killing thousands of birds. A few years ago twitchers travelled miles to see a rare bird. They finally caught a glimpse of this rarity, got some photos and were patting each other on the back when BOOM! the silly sod flew right into a propeller...... there's links to the story if you Google it

I think it’s not a winner takes all state. The split their electoral college votes proportionally.

Global warming will kill more birds though.

Here's the first article google came up with for me, just to put Trumps claim into perspective.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-e...ossil%20fuels.

55m birds killed by doemstic cats every year in the UK compared to an estimated 100,000 caused by turbines. I hope Trump has domestic cats in his sights.

Many things kill birds...it’s all about perspective and being relative to others.

For example a study by the Us Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that glass buildings in the US are estimated to kill 600m a year due to collisions....do I hear Donald suggesting he knocks down his towers to protect the birds?

Cats were estimated to kill 2.4bn! Collision with vehicles 214.5m, electrical lines 25.5m.
At the same time they estimated that the on shore wind turbines were killing a mighty 234k per annum.


So when looking at those numbers while it’s true to say wind turbines kill birds it’s not true to say that it’s any real argument against their use.

If you were really bothered about birds dying you would be much better off advocating a ban on domestic cats.

Having been involved with the planning aspects of wi d farms in Scotland I can assure you that the chances of birds or any other species being killed by turbine blades is very remote.

What was the bird and what country did this happen and when?

If this is a historic incident or happened recently makes a big difference.



EDIT: A single bird killed on the Isle of Harris in 2013!?

I don't think I need to say any more on this one. :greengrin

I'm sure (in the spirit of the discussion) you'll have evidence on how I seem to know everything as well...?

You've no evidence against climate change - just like Trump and all the other science illiterate moon-howlers who rely on Youtube conspiracy theories to shape their world view.

If you people had the appetite to do any actual research, you might just be dangerous.

It does but it has never been accelerated by the action of humans before. Or idiots as they are known. 😉
