Because it was the 1950's you numbnuts when did the concept of chromosomes come about? Like 50 years prior and the 48 number came from a guy counting with a fucking microscope

A guy counted wrong and you're ready to throw science out the window.

As for Wegener maybe stop just listeneing to what whatever dumbfuck Rogan has on this week and at least do the bare-fucking-minimum and read the Wikipedia.

Alfred Wegener has been mischaracterised as a lone genius whose theory of continental drift met widespread rejection until well after his death. In fact, the main tenets of the theory gained widespread acceptance by European researchers already in the 1920s, and the debates were mostly about specific details.

And yeah, we all know the story of Semmelweis. That means we don't have to believe climate scientists eh? What would Semmelweiss himself think?

God this is stupid. Do you get how stupid this is? I don't know or have the patience to explain to you just how stupid this argument is.

This is just pseudo-science talking point propaganda used by bad actors to push bad ideas.

Relativity did not make Newton incorrect, it just expanded upon his works and the limits he was working in at the time. Just like quantum theories or whatever doesn't make either Newton or Einstein incorrect. Just like modern evolutionary theories don't make Darwin incorrect even though we don't really used Darwin's work directly.

Science builds upon the past, it's actually quite rare that actual scientific theories from the past are entirely discarded and abandoned. Most of the things people will use for examples of that are discarded because they were in fact not came upon or discovered or confirmed scientifically in the first place.

Paragraphs are 3-5 sentences chief. It's actually kinda rude.

Anyway Biden passed way more legislation in 4 years than trump will pass in 8. That's called "working with Congress" and the fact you used right-wing media fabrications to argue it shows me you really don't have anything worth talking about.

But hey enjoy your war in Iran, you voted for it.

Let's not forget that JD Vance was in Hungary shilling publicly at election events in support of Viktor Orban, an authoritarian ruler also heavily supported by Putin. How did we end up aligned with with Russia on such political issues?

Then Vance is in Iran and is supposed to be negotiating some sort of end to this needless conflict and as he's telling the press that negotiations have failed the President and the fucking Secretary of State are attending a UFC fight. Something something Nero and fiddles.

Congress... Do your job already.

13 Republican Senators and 5 Congresspeople. 18 human beings and they could step in against this war or do a number of other things. That's who squarely takes the blame here. By contrast Biden worked with Congress wherever was needed and yet Democrats still pushed their own incumbent off the ticket. No more "both sides" here, there is a big difference.

And let's not forget how many criminal charges were made against Trump to no avail

Oh my god how could I leave this complete fucking lie hanging.

Trump was charged in NY and found guilty *by a jury* so cope with NYC being lefty all you want it was unanimous.

Also the Mar A Lago documents case and the Jan 6 indictment were not charged because Trump got control of the DOJ and dismissed them so we'll never know now (but we can read Jack Smith's indictments and.. well, it ain't good)

Also let it bee known that Joe Biden did not stop or interfere in the special counsel into his own documents mishandling, sat down for a deposition and allowed the Hur report to be published whil ehe was in office.

He also did not interfere in the special counsel investigation into his own son.

Final Report of the Special Counsel Under 28 C.F.R. 600.8 (Fake elctor plot indictment)

Trump Documents Indictment

Meanwhile Trump has mananged to dodge even being deposed for any of this.

The canyon of decency and legality between these two men is enormous.

Go take a look at how the Biden administration threatened the news media to not cover Joe's dementia

The news media that didn't stop talking about it for the entire year of the 2024 election cycle? The thing Jake-fucking-Tapper wrote a goddamned book about? That the conservative media ran with the entire time in lockstep as they tend to do? The media that excoriated the man for his debate performance so much he was pressured to drop out? Oh such a coverup!!!

Meanwhile Joe Biden right now is out being normal in the real world with no "dementia" to speak of and looking more cognizant than the current sitting President. Almost like he didn't have dementia and was just a man getting older with too much on his plate. Fact is like with Hillaries health concerns Biden's "dementia" was a conservative fabrication and so called liberal media has actually been in the minority for the past decade and a half but conservatives rely on the media-victim-complex too much to admit it.

he did not prosecute Hillary Clinton for the email server

Or maybe instead of some stupid conspiracy which cuts against everything Trump has ever said and done and there just wasn't any evidence there after all and conservatives have been lying about her the entire time. Just like with Comey. Just like with Letitia James. Just like with Bolton. Just like with Hunter Biden.

Maybe Trump and Republicans are just a pack of illiberal liars. Maybe that's our Occam's Razor here.

Not shedding tears does not mean i think it's good geopolitics, in fact its quite bad geopolitics but still, the Iranian regime is composed of some awful people with awful actions. Don't knee jerk react to 4 particular words in a row and try to comprehend my entire statement, you know, like human beings are supposed to be able to do or have we all burned those parts of our brains out from outrage baiting media.

It's a bit like when that firefighter was shot at the Trump rally. Yeah it's bad, people shouldn't be doing political violence but I have zero sympathy for a Jan 6 supporting guy who got clipped, particularity when the guy he supports has turned the violence temperature up to 11.

Yup and that's why no matter how cringe it makes one feel it's time to swallow that pride and vote Democrat in 2026. Then again in 2028 and then again in 2030 and then once more in 2032. After that amount of time being crushed maybe the Republican party will be in a place where the nation can consider viable stewards of governance but not before then. Things to get fixed and certain generations need to die off more before they can be trusted again.
