    Here we go, said it a while back there will be no election and he will sign an executive order that he must stay in office while the crisis is ongoing. This is just the beginning of him trying to force the presidency to be his and his alone until he decides to give it up or he dies. Seriously scary stuff. The man is a liar, a cheat and actually not very bright when you hear the bs he comes out with but he sadly is smart enough to surround himself with folk who will allow this to happen
    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 just go.
    Take a look.

    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.

    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.

    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. 😉
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.
