  1. Not pretending. Why do you think I don't care for science, not-so-hot-fella.
  2. I don't recall editing anything there. Just copy/pasted. You are free to believe whatever you wish, despite being shown real information.

      You can get rich and even win elections fooling some of the people some of the time.

      You can fool the vast majority, for well over two centuries if you get a great propaganda machine to work for you. Look at all the doofuses that think the US is a kind and benevolent country. They believe this nonsense even when stark reality in placed right in front of their noses. 

  4. The problem goes beyond merely "left" or "right" of course. These two differing political ideologies are normally held in balance by democratic elections. Whenever one party or group holds power for too long it eventually must fail, as the real struggle is always against corruption.
  5. Yes I know, DOP already pointed out that there are other nuclear materials used to measure older dates. Even radiocarbon decay can be used to measure back to about 50,000 years. That's still 10 x what some people believe it says in the bible about the age of the earth. I have no problem with people who want to believe in god, or follow the teaching in the bible but one should not confuse physics with metaphysics. Science is what it is, there shouldn't be any dichotomy.
  6. If the greatest threat to the west is low population growth, then the greatest threat comes from a culture that discourages raising families and encourages self indulgence and hedonism. IE the greatest threat to the west is liberalism.
  7. Thanks to Comey you can relax, and believe Dershowitz- In his testimony former FBI director James Comey echoed a view that I alone have been expressing for several weeks, and that has been attacked by nearly every Democratic pundit. Comey confirmed that under our Constitution, the president has the authority to direct the FBI to stop investigating any individual. I paraphrase, because the transcript is not yet available: the president can, in theory, decide who to investigate, who to stop investigating, who to prosecute and who not to prosecute. The president is the head of the unified executive branch of government, and the Justice Department and the FBI work under him and he may order them to do what he wishes. Just as the president would have had the constitutional power to pardon Flynn and thus end the criminal investigation of him, he certainly had the authority to request the director of the FBI to end his investigation of Flynn. Any "hope" on the part of misguided liberals that there is a chance for an obstruction charge is now also over.
  8. Don't be sad that I just crushed all your hopes and dreams. Life will go on. But this party's over old boy.
  9. You're free to ignore reality.
  10. From Comey's testimony on Thursday- Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Arkansas, sought further clarification by pointedly asking about a much-discussed New York Times' story from February titled "Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence." Comey did not mince words by responding that the Times' story "was not true" and saying yes when Cotton asked if the article was "almost entirely wrong." This story is over. Yet Liberal mouths continue yapping and insisting that we wait a little longer to see what happens next. "Just give it another two weeks." We are being duped.
  11. A lot of people helped, including Donna Brazile.
  12. Trudeau government calling for increased spending on militarization in Canada, and leftist liberals like it. Because Trump
  13. It may as well be. We saw the testimony of James Comey, hyped by the media to be the blockbuster story of the year in the days leading up to it. Yet it signified NOTHING. This hysteria has carried on for long enough. We are being duped and bombarded by thousands of opinions, that is all. What could be, what might be next. This is just a witch hunt to mislead the stupefied public, nothing more.
  14. There is no actual news to be found anywhere. Reality TV and infotainment have merged to give us what you see now, distracting gossip and half-truths intended to manipulate voters, with a long view towards holding political power.
  15. That's not the only problem you have to solve to eliminate evidence of an old Earth. There is also the decay of nuclear elements like carbon-14, which necessarily takes a long, long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating
  16. "You start with Whitewater and end up with a blue dress". - Lindsay O. Graham
  17. If there was a real problem, it would have been apparent by now. I think Senator McCain made an interesting point to Comey, which was to ask how it's possible that he could so boldly conclude that the Clinton email case is closed and no charges are necessary, while still keeping another investigation into Russian election interference going. It makes no sense. Comey is a fruitcake. Keep investigating someone for long enough, you will find something. Not necessarily what you were looking for, but something. (See Bill Clinton).
  18. That is now all just water under the bridge, Liberals have had their moment in the sun, and this charade has gone on for long enough, with nothing. Much ado about nothing. Really much. What troubles me is how much time and energy is being spent on this issue by the media and all of us. There's no credibility, no real news. Just what I might call "infotainment", and we've all been had.
  19. Legal expert Alan Dershowitz reminded viewers that President Trump could have just pardoned former national security advisor Michael Flynn and stopped the FBI's investigation into Flynn's conversations with the Russian ambassador. "The president has the authority to direct the head of the FBI to stop investigating anyone," Dershowitz stated on "Your World." "I've been saying this for months." http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/06/08/alan-dershowitz-president-trump-could-have-just-pardoned-michael-flynn Reality is fleeting for so many these days.
  20. They are now fired, at the presidents discretion. Nothing more is needed to fire them.
  21. Comey is the second FBI director to be fired @Omni The President has held the power to appoint and dismiss the director of the FBI at his or her discretion since 1968.
  22. Sorry, but you're wrong_again_wilber
  23. They can be dismissed by the president, as demonstrated.
  24. Trump should have dismissed everybody, get the dead wood out. It was naive to keep people in such a rabidly partisan environment. Mistake
  25. Mr. Comey was FBI director under the Obama administration. It's my understanding that it's pretty common to replace any or all of the executive staff when there is a change of government in the USA. It is not mandatory of course, and comes under the new administrations discretion. Demanding loyalty of Comey in this context is pretty reasonable.
