If DeSantis can scoop up the Trump/ Mega crowd I think he is worse. Trump is a megalomaniac who really only cares about one thing. Trump. It's all he believes in.A grown-up petulant child still trying to prove he is the most important person in the world. DeSantis on the other hand actually believes in all that crap that he spews out on a regular basis. His idealology could turn the US into the Christian version of the Islamic State. He's a scary potential candidate for the POTUS .

It's the same mentality as down South. " My freedoms ! My rights ! What ever I want is a right !" But the wants, freedom and rights of everyone else don't count and should be squashed with a Jackboot.

There were so many lies told in that referendum. On an AG end the separatists told Quebec Dairy farmers they would remain part of the CANADIAN Dairy marketing board. They basicly campaigned say I g they would keep whatever they wanted ( things that would benefit them) and toss whatever they didnt want. As if it would be their choice alone. And people bought what they were selling. The other massive issue was what would have happened on 1st nations. I distinctly remember The head of the Northern Chiefs saying " Nobody is telling us what country we belong to " .A yes vote would have been one hell of a disaster.

Mark F said " we act as though we are not subject to laws of nature " I'll be stealing that quote at some point. I like it.

Absolutely , alot of the CO2 emissions in China and India are created producing products for the rest of the world. The sooner we as individuals wake up to the fact that we as individuals are the problem the better. Everything we do, everything we eat, everywhere we go has a cost. We ,particularly in the West like to do alot, eat alot and go to alot of places. I don't think 7 billion of our species is sustainable unfortunatly.

I'm hoping that as China ,the world's largest producer of CO2 , gets smacked by climate change they may take the lead in changing to fight it. Perhaps threats to their domination of the world's industries may do it. Their leadership certainly has the power if they have the will. All this horrendous weather news and yet : https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/24/uk-and-us-banks-among-biggest-backers-of-russian-carbon-bombs-data-shows

Wow what a beauty !

Such a disgusting comment. Like many far right Christians he is pulling statements out of the old testament and new testament when it suits him. If you follow the old testament word for word you would have to totally ignore the New Testament. Nevermind all the books and passages that have been dropped. A great exercise for most of them would to be to spend some time reading both testaments , beginning to end. Then try work out an idea of what being a Christian really means.

On the killing of Dugina's daughter

“Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values and indoctrinate our children," Trump said. " ... Their goal is not a better America. Their goal is to end America." Or as I like to call it " telling the truth " about their history.

I think it's close to making that connection . I watched that timeline episode. It's good.. I also watched a Netflix series Hitler's Cicle of Evil that was an interesting look into the whole Nazi power group. The relationships between both them and Hitler and the relationships with each other is fascinating. I also saw a connection or a mirroring with Trump and his group. The mass psychosis ( not sure if that's the term I need ) of a population is again a fascination for me. How does an entire population buy in ? Or at least buy in enough to allow it to happen ? ( maybe thats a better comparable in the US ). How were millions of soldiers in WW1 convinced to live in a rat infested, urine, blood and gut soaked , sub human hole then climb out and run straight into machine gun fire ? Voluntarily ! What made the depression of the 1930s last 10 years ? A 10 year period that scarred the lives of millions for the rest of their days. ( very pertinent for the discussion of Nazi Germany ). As a species we tend to run with the herd I guess.

I disagree. There are many politicians who enter politics for all the right reasons. Sometimes their beliefs are different from Our own personal beliefs so we assume they are corrupt, not nice...... Sometimes they are shoved to the side by those in power or with more political punch. Sometimes when good politicians are in politics to long they slowly slide into corruption .But there are good ones. But there are some that have neither good morals or character right off the bat. I would suggest the state of current US politics weeds out the good ones real quick and discards them on the trash heap pretty quick.
