morning, bucky. You should comb your hair, you look terrible. and fix your collar.

it's an eerie complement to the "carbon big-foots" who keep telling us to sacrifice our livelihoods and lifestyles for the good of the planet.

Yep, that crap makes me laugh.  Like the "do your one thing" ads.  Really causes a chuckle when for example there's a "water shortage" in CA and they make a mandate that nobody can wash their cars or water their lawns.  (Don't get me wrong, watering lawns is stupid.)  And they're asking everybody to try to cut back their water usage by 10% by taking shorter showers or not letting the water run while brushing their teeth.  Now, grey-water for flushing toilets (I believe this is done to some extent in San Diego.) is a great idea - a huge waste of potable household water.  But household/community and industrial use of water (in CA) is only 20% or less of managed water use, while the other 80% is agriculture.  So if everybody at home saved 10%, that'd be about 1% of total usage.  The same could be saved by a single crop like iceberg lettuce!  An almond takes a gallon of water to grow - a single almond!  A single egg is estimated to use 50 gallons!  A head of iceberg lettuce almost 30.  Average per person at-home water usage is about 90 gallons a day, household around 300 gallons a day.  So if I forego a 2-egg breakfast, I've compensated for my total daily water usage.  That's my one thing.  F-ing stupid.

Why even bother to write about it anymore, GOP just lets them do what they want. And yes Pelosi was likely as guilty as any of them, just not QUITE as blatant

Consistently inconsistent?

Same reason weed's legal.  You can't tax a black market.  You just waste money and resources chasing it.

And she;s a big Trump supporter!   

[neurosis]

And she;s a big Trump supporter!   

Trump came out and defended her after the interviews were released.

She did say that they took her out of context, but the funny thing is, everything she said was true.  Nobody could contest any of the things.

Yeah, I'd been following it since it came out. I haven't watched the entire interview, if it's even out there, but since everything she said is true how can it be out of context?

Is there some filler words that would make it alright?
