It is sadly true that the left wing side of the country is every bit as intolerant as the far right wing. They are one coin, with two different sides. Not identical, but far left and far right are consumed by their core values.

OK, but the size of the far left is much smaller than the size of the far right. You are basically comparing a fringe, which always exists, to a sizable chunk of the current Republican party. Just because conservative media makes a stink about them and their twitter posts doesn't mean they are truly significant.

Semiconductor companies should take a leaf from Trump's book and tell him construction will start in two weeks.

Sadly, Trump is probably OK with that. He just wants to claim success. With his base, he doesn't need to achieve it.

So I return to my original statement. If I routinely provided my employer with inaccurate, unreliable reporting I would get fired too.

It's this kind of rationalizing that is the problem. You have no idea how the report is created or how it is updated. Instead, you focus on a naive argument based on how your job works. Why do you spend so much time typing this stuff instead of just looking it up? Why do you defend Trump by imagining an justification for him instead of just listening to what he says?

Please remind me of the last time we received a jobs report that did not get revised significantly.

They always get revised. This was a big revision, but it's just following a process and is not cooking the books. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/b...

What's more problematic is Trump lying about it. This and his new choice have people concerned he will start cooking the books. These types of games will destroy our economy.

Nope. The bullet would be causing harm. Just think about it. If you tell the killer, "please kill this SOAB" or "Do you job now" or "Shoot him", the result will be the same. However, the words are all different. So, which of these words are causing harm? Which are more harmful?

Just a head up, don't try this in court. You will get a life sentence.

Thanks for the link. In some ways, he was better than most of these conspiracy nuts. As misguided as he was, he was trying to help kids. Looks like he reached his limit and did a suicide by cop. However with his mental abilities, can't be sure.

I imagine he didn't like them, but they also were not good at their job

That's a core part of the problem, you are just imagining things. What evidence do you have that he was bad at his job? I hope it's not all the objectively untrue stuff Trump said. What is your evidence that the new guy is better at the job? Looks like a Heritage Foundation toady. https://www.axios.com/2025/08/...

When the price is in the range of competitively priced over the counter products like aspirin, it doesn't seem like a problem. However there are generics that are much more expensive/profitable and these are a problem.

More about right wing propaganda pushing that fear. Things like critical race theory, migrant caravans, and gay grooming. Some are still looking for pedophile pizza.

It is actions which caused the harm, not words.

If I ask a hitman to kill you, then it's reasonable to say my words caused harm.

Thanks!

You mean this: "This brief change means that Hunga's eruption may have caused slight cooling in the Southern Hemisphere, but the researchers say it would be challenging to glean that same information from meteorological observations alone." Europe is in the North, so not that.

What a strange reply? The location of the volcano is the South Pacific. Where is your citation that this will cause warming over the next five years in the north?

Then an underwater volcano erupted in 2022, raising temps for about 5 years by sending almost 150 megatons of water into the atmosphere. Which also has to come back down.

Any citations? A quick search says it had a cooling effect.

My opinion, and this is simply an opinion, I don't have proof. Is that Trump is anti-capitalist. He does not want to see free enterprise in this nation.

This gets a bit into semantics, but I would say most of the rich are anti-free market. They want capitalism, but they want to control/create a dominate company and make excessive profits. Trump isn't competent enough to do that in the market, so he's switched to government which is more suited to his "skills". Now he's just openly corrupt which favors the rich who bow to him. It's definitely an aspect of Fascism.

That's my point, it was never hard. I provided a link, the page had a search engine, you could type any topic you wished. Like "defensive use". Teaching how to fish vs giving a fish ... blah blah.

You missed the point. I was the one who had to actually post the link. Originally, you were too lazy to do the actual search. You even admitted you got the number wrong, but fortunately it worked in your favor. Then to cover your laziness, you had to write a bunch of text instead of just pasting the link.

I did not say they are equivalent. I said neither is worthy of trust. Both will iie. If they tell the truth it is just that the truth coincidentally aligns with politics. That's how it works with these wedge issue. They don't really want to solve them. They want the donations and the voter turnout the wedge issues produce.

Again missing my point. I was quite clearly talking about how right wing media operates not the politicians. Of course, the excessive corruption of the right wing media enables the further decay of right wing politicians...

That said, they are both correct about some things in this debate. But everything needs to be double checked, you can't just take their word for it.

True. But most people don't have the time or expertise to do all the research which is why they depend on the media/news to learn about many of the issues. This is why the overtly corrupt right wing media is so bad particularly with Trump.
