@blatham,
I disagree on the foreign issue, at least candidates should have some kind of stance on all the foreign issues facing us now through election day. It would make a difference to me on primary election day, it did in the last election when I voted for Hillary. Even though I felt, and still feel about a lot of democrats politicians, she was too Israel forward to the exclusion of Palestinians, I felt she had a better handle on foreign issues than Bernie and it made a difference for me. Otherwise, I might well have went with Bernie Sanders. I just felt she was more prepared all around than Sanders but I liked Bernie being more optimistic about health care and other domestic issues. Since election Bernie has been more vocal about foreign issues, but it is still very little; but way more than some of the others.


In fact the foreign issues is really about the best way to differentiate all the contenders running considering they all want to do about the same things domestically. Just maybe different methods.

Neocons/Neolibs & MSM all sing from the same songsheet: War war war!!! Trump never gets positive media unless he's threatening war/carrying out military action. Today, Venezuela. Tomorrow, Iran? Cuba? Who’s next? No wonder NK won't give up their nukes. https://tulsi.to/support

Like 16 months. No need to focus on one particular candidate yet. Let them sort themselves out. But I will vote for any democratic candidate.

You mean a war with Iran which would almost certainly reelect Trump. All this military crap about Iran being a danger without any information as to why reminds me of Vietnaum.

I really have no disagreement with you on this, rev. It's just not my focus. I'm pleased others have their attention on the issue.

I'm not sure that would be the consequence electorally. But in any case, I think it is more likely that the anti-Iran posturing is Trump and his people being bellicose for the sake of image (and distraction). Iran poses military problems far greater than Iraq. And almost no other western nation other than Israel would support Trump if he moved in that direction and I'm not sure they would (being nearby and thus a relatively easy target).

Perhaps I didn't make it easy enough for you. My error for thinking you can make an obvious deduction.

Coal varies a bit in the (very small) Mercury concentrations in it from source to source. However the factor of 2 difference in the heating value of anthracite or bituminous coal, compared to the typical European and Asian grades, means that, for equal energy output, twice as much of the latter is burned. That of course means double the CO2 and Mercury release.

Let me make it easier for you also stupid. I don't care about the amount of heat a particular amount of coal produces. I want all coal burning stopped so as to reduce co2 and mercury. Renuable wind, sun, and other forms of electrical generation are preferable before idiots like you destroy this earth for future generations.

I find this to be an amusing bit of projection on the part of these reporters. Liberals had their own freakout when Trump won the Presidential election. More to the point, the accumulating evidence indicates that once Trump took the lead in the Republican primary, a conspiracy emerged within the Obama administration to prevent his victory and get "an insurance policy" investigation going that would prevent his victory in the then forthcoming election. They broke numerous laws and violated the integrity of Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the process, but failed in their goal of preventing a Trump Presidency.

Now, after the Failed conspiracy of the Obama Administration, and as we approach the 2020 election, it is amusing to see these liberal conspirators speculating about a Trump coup or refusal himself to give up office following an imagined defeat in 2020.

Our economy is doing very well indeed with GDP growth rates and unemployment rates better than we have seen in decades. This alone is a very strong indicator of a 2nd Trump Term.

In addition the Democrat party is highly divided between zealots advocating policies almost certain to be rejected by the majority of voters (though very exciting to themselves), and political pros who want desperately to win and take out Trump. Their roster of Presidential contenders has its own abundant comic figures, and, now, in a somewhat frantic effort to mask their real political natures, Democrat leaders have resurrected their own superannuated and somewhat comic political figure of the recent past, recasting him (Joe Biden) as a grandfatherly restraint on the far left loonies who currently dominate that party. This doesn't look (to me) like a formula for success.

It appears the real comedy here is the self-serving assumption among these reporters that Democrats will win in 2020, and, in confirmation of their deep fears, perhaps left over from 2016, he will refuse to leave. Trump derangement Syndrome indeed!

Unfortunately for you most countries in the world, including China, India, and, interestingly, most European countries don't agree. Moreover these nations use a very high fraction of low grade coal that yields about twice the CO2 & Mercury contamination per unit of energy produced than what is used here. Just who (besides yourself) are the "idiots" here ?

These nations are, of course, all signatories of the (unenforceable) Paris accords, though none have met their targets, or reduced their emissions over the last few years as much as has the United States in it's rapid transition from coal to natural gas.

They and we also use a great deal of so called "renewable" power generation. However intermittent availability ( the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow, all the time) prevents it from ever becoming more than about 30% of total electrical generation. Moreover, high cost and low efficiencies have so far limited them even more. Until improved technologies come along, Nuclear Power is a cleaner, safer and more reliable alternative.

I have been listening the last few weeks on TV (as much as I can stand) to the presidential hopefuls. I like pretty well all of them. But I am recently impressed with Bennet.

Bennet: Medicare for All supporters 'need to level with the American people'

Quote:
Instead of a Medicare for All health care plan, the Colorado senator touted the “Medicare X” proposal he and Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) rolled out last month that would allow for a public health care option, modeled after Medicare, to be made available alongside private insurance. The proposal “allows people to choose for their families what's best for them in terms of insurance and in terms of primary care,” Bennet said.



Doubt he has a chance until perhaps the debates. I have an awful feeling Biden is going to flub up the debates.

Is there? What is the nature of this evidence? Who pointed it out to you? Where? What's the basis for their claims you deem "evidence"? Please, please, please give specifics. Provide links and citations. If your claims are sound and actually evidence based, you ought to be able to give specifics. Otherwise, how could you know it is evidence?

All the best people... Putin version
Quote:
Kremlin advisor Sergei Glazyev made a few headlines today with a column claiming that Ukraine’s new president, who is Jewish, will try to exterminate ethnic Russians living in his country and resettle their regions with Jews.

Josh flagged Glazyev’s remarks in a blog post, drawing an analogy with the “Jews will not replace us” mantra of American white nationalists.

Glazyev’s column is titled “occupation,” and advances the theory that Ukraine’s recent election of Volodymyr Zelensky fits into the broader “picture” of the West’s support for a neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine, hell-bent on exterminating the country’s Russian population.

It is, in fact, a deeply bizarre theory, but one not unfamiliar to those who have followed Ukraine’s tumultuous relationship with Russia in recent years.

Glazyev, a longtime Putin adviser who has been deeply involved in Russia’s handling of the Ukraine conflict and who appeared at a conference with Rudy Giuliani in October, goes on to propose that one goal of Zelensky’s presidency could be to resettle the country’s war-torn regions with Jews. I’ve translated the full paragraph below...
