There it is! 😆 He can insult them and their intellect right to their faces and they'll clap like seals and laugh. Like Raphael Cruz, Trump could insult their wives and they'd cheer it on. Pathetic. It's a cult, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I mean, LOOK at them. 🤦‍♂️

But isn't this new science? Shouldn't we just wait till scientists figure it out before taking any potentially drastic action? NO. We've known since the 1850s that CO2 & CH4 absorb heat and re-radiate infrared energy (and that CH4 is produced from coal mining). That's not a typo: the 1850s. Watch:

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming. Could these be the real culprits? The evidence is in--and the answer is NO. This thread explains! 🧵

This was so stupid I had to check to see if it's real, and yes. Ted Cruz, the man who once told a story about the "basketball ring," is trying to tell a guy who literally played lacrosse at Michigan how Michigan athletes refer to their rival.

Bottom of the article: "The news appears to give Trump more direct control over the country’s fields, though developing the tar-like deposits of oil and shipping it for export is likely to take years." So basically, when the R's get their asses kicked this November, none of this is happening.
