The elephant in the room:) If the threat of climate change is real, then all policy at this point assures the destruction of the planet. Policies in place assure increase in emissions not a decrease. Not even close. One then has to ask, what is going on? From a .....
probability perspective, when you have unknowns, (Like Hold-em) you assess different probabilities of answers. And that is would we are staring at here, on the range of possible explanations what is the % likelihood each is correct. If you agree with the premise that ....
policy right now is increasing rather than decreasing global emissions, then the % applied to the reason for the policy as a decrease in global warming should be in the 10% area. Afterall, they could just be that ignorant. Unlikely but lets say 10%. So that leaves....
90% to cover a host of other reasons. That is a lot to work with. It would be interesting if someone with a better understanding of the unexplanable then me could assess the probability of the other outcomes:) #wakeup

Americans need to smarten up. Conservatives, liberals, progressive need to come together in a common purpose. Afterall, we are all Americans. We may disagree on some issues, but a common threat ties us together , we are all Americans and have an interest in keeping this
together. As I assure you, when the smoke clears politicians will not have your back nor will any foreign power that gains influence. Once their end goal is reached do you really think this censorship is not going to roll over on everyone. That they will continue to allow
the violent demonstrations that rock this country to the core. Do you think that no bail policy will continues once they come in to pick up the pieces? No my friends, the tyranny that will come will not only affect conservatives, but it will effect liberals and progressives.

There is nothing unique about the time we are living in. The battle that is raging now has been one that has been playing out since the beginning of time. The battle between good and evil. It lies dormant for periods and then voila, you get the Holocost, Spanish inquistion,
killing fields, etc. The reason for the evil is the same reason its always been. Power, Greed, combined with the ignorance of the human race. Some things never change. This time around, its framed politically (D vs R). But make no mistake what is happening now transends
politics. The difference this time around is the US is now a player. Before it was either not in existence or you could count on them not to go too far astray from human decency. But we are in a time that is not familiar to Americans. They do not have a clue what is unfolding.

I think you have to take it one step at a time. 1. Will the Jan 6th committee send to the DOJ a recommendation of indictment in a report laying out their findings. 2. Will the DOJ take it to a Grand Jury 3. Will the Grand Jury indict? #wakeup #WakeUpAmerica
Breaking it down in this manner can give someone a reasonable idea of what to expect. Considering the makeup of the Jan 6th committee and the leaks it seems likely a referral for prosecution will be made. The DOJ's actions make it clear that they will seek an indictment.
The way they are handling the Jan 6 prisoners, the rather dangerous extension of domestic terrorism definitions to include in some instances parents, make it more likely than not they will proceed that way.

Sinema is the change agent that the Republican party needs now. Integrity, courage, and a desire to represent her constituents. She has no future in the Democrat party. But, If the wind blows right she could be a very popular leader on the other side. @SenatorSinema #wakeup
I could foresee her being on the national ticket on the republican side if the establishment Republicans get wiped out in the primary as they should. There are issues you may not agree with, but that is good, not bad. Provides balance. @SenatorSinema #wakeup #WakeUpEverybody
Arizona constituents would welcome her switch. A perfect opportunity for her to strengthen her position as a change agent and future national leader. Who else has shown her resolve? Her phones should be flooded 24/7 requesting the switch. @SenatorSinema @kyrstensinema #wakeup

It always amuses me when people talk about fixing the human race. From the beginning of time until today there is no indication that the human species has the ability to learn from its mistakes. If the species were an experiment they would have ended it long ago. #wakeup
I read a book that explained this phenomenon well, A book published in 1996 "goodreads.com/book/show/1812…
Hofstadter had a brilliant discussion of human's creativity on the individual level vs their flirtation with self extinction on the group level. It should be required reading for all. @TuckerCarlson #wakeup

We agree on your first paragraph, but not on the solution. I am busy handicapping sports right now, but I can explain myself a bit better later.
I do not see anything wrong with an opinion and a news section of the media. It has always been that way and I do not think it should change. On the other hand, they should not get a pass just because they call themselves journalists.
There should be an oversight in journalism, just as there should be for all entities that have the potential to sway public opinion. That is one of the things lacking right now. The end result is you get selective enforcement of the laws and selective journalism.
