You need to look again and avoid confirmation of your own bias.

Yeah, I suspect many of your arguments devolve into name calling with conciliatory statements like that. I'm glad someone completely free of bias has pointed out the errors of my ways.

Having an argument about the number of storms, while ignoring effects and intensity, is not a useful exercise. Why does that table, which for some reason appears to be sponsored by some insurance companies, only have category 3s, and not 4s and 5s? It seems like a very selective collection of data.

Study: Ocean warming has intensified recent hurricanes
https://www.climatecentral.org...

"Due to global warming, global climate models predict hurricanes will likely cause more intense rainfall and have an increased coastal flood risk due to higher storm surge caused by rising seas. Additionally, the global frequency of storms may decrease or remain unchanged, but hurricanes that form are more likely to become intense."

This is just from some quick googling. Note that your link only lists category 3 hurricanes.

In the mix were Trump's actions that were in the open (e.g. "Russia if you're listening ..." and then they did what he asked), and they still don't believe that anything was going on. There's an audience that wants to find the "secret" conspiracy, because then they're the special, unique person that actually knows what's happening. Knowing about a public conspiracy isn't as much fun.

The president of the United States extorted $16 million dollar bribes from CBS and ABC for stories that were obviously covered by the first amendment.

The attorney general of the United States threatened to charge CNN with a crime for publishing a story about a public web site.

The president of the United States threatened to revoke the citizenship of a US citizen for saying mean things about him.

"It's ok now that we're past the BLM wokeness" is a line from someone with a very skewed news diet.

Meanwhile in the US, the Trump administration is trying to deport refugees back to Afghanistan, vaguely claiming there's an "improved security situation":

A court has put that on hold at the moment:

The most ridiculous claim from Noem, in the link above:
Additionally, the termination furthers the national interest as DHS records indicate that there are recipients who have been under investigation for fraud and threatening our public safety and national security.

Some people may have committed fraud, therefore everyone is guilty by association. Fucking insane.

Thanks to propaganda promulgated by idiots like you, we ended up with a real-world A / B trial of the Covid-19 vaccines. A lot more Republicans ended up dead because they didn't get the shot:

Yes, it was effective.

And here's an actual study about deaths from the vaccine itself (tl;dr - your claims are bullshit):

Whoops. Intended to reply to a different post.

Also, although the satellite imagery is from 2015, apparently the "Taraia Object" wasn't found until 2020.

He committed no misrepresentation.
Did he hide evidence, like flying? Yes he did.

And of course, committing 'no misrepresentation' is not a defense, even if it should be as part of basic human decency: See: DACA, and the many cases where the kids did not even know they were undocumented.

The point is, the XL extension is a small project in the context of US-Canada trade. Your link says essentially the same thing. BTW, the $30 billion figure doesn't even include a time frame.

But your claim was that this caused the "real damage" to US-Canada trade relations. You skipped right past Trump's attempt to impose 25% blanket tariffs, all the way back to a multi-decade fight from years ago, over something that affects a small portion of the economic ties between the US and Canada.

That's a pretty weak bit of analysis.

If the Biden administration had fucked up the post-disaster response as badly as Noem, the RWNJ media would be blaring about it non-stop. And they would have been right.

- Every expenditure over $100K requires her signature.
- FEMA's search-and-rescue team was delayed 72 hours.
- Aerial imagery was delayed 72 hours.
- The FEMA director has been completely absent from the picture.

This is stupid take, even for you.

they are not in self-driving mode as it has the map up
You are wrong.

The map is always displayed; the 'car status area' changes when the vehicle is in FSD. In that photo, the car status area is behind the steering wheel.

This link shows the screen layout: https://www.tesla.com/ownersma...

Also from that link: "You can expand/condense the visualization...", i.e. in some cases the map display might be smaller. But the fact that you can see a map on that screen does not prove anything about the car's status.

the video they provided
I have no idea what video you are talking about, nor do I care. "I found a video that might be suspect" is not proof of anything when there are so many other sources that have demonstrated the same problems with Tesla's FSD.

Not rigged.

This is the most recent iteration of the 'Teslas plowing into kids' demonstration:

That really doesn't sound like a unique, specific skill that requires this kind of direct commission.

I just googled the first name in the list, and this was one of the hits:
i2 Inc sued Palantir in Federal Court alleging fraud, conspiracy, and copyright infringement over Palantir's algorithm. Shyam Sankar, Palantir's director of business development, used a private eye company as a cutout for obtaining i2's code. i2 settled out of court for $10 million in 2011.

Palantir was one of the companies that sponsored Trump's parade.
