Several nations are threatened with extinction due to climate change.
Maybe the climate deniers were wrong. Maybe the scientists were wrong, too, and it’s MUCH WORSE than they thought. Maybe it IS too late. But maybe it’s not. Even if the experts were sure it’s too late. Maybe they’re wrong. ~jg

I solve problems. I believe have a solution to everything. It’s who I am at the core, I suppose. Please don’t judge me if I try to solve yours.
When I look at the absolute mess in Washington DC, I see problems that need solving. Unfortunately, politicians aren’t very good at solving problems…at least not without creating more problems. Bigger ones usually. Expensive ones, dangerous ones, that cost us all.

To me, things seem simple. There are gray areas, but by and large, there are simple, obvious solutions to every problem we face. We know must face them, but thanks to our bullshit pay-to-play political system, we usually choose to wait until it’s a fucking emergency.
Because God forbid we take one unnecessary fucking penny of profits from our corporate overlords. The economy will come crashing down and everyone will lose their jobs, if Amazon stock doesn’t continue to rise.
Well, Bezos can blast himself into space and fucking stay there, as far as I’m concerned. He’s a fucking pirate. No one should make billions of dollars in a pandemic. Even if it’s not TAXABLE income (so it doesn’t really count anyway). Give it BACK!
“Bezos can blast himself into space and fucking stay there, as far as I’m concerned. He’s a fucking pirate.”
I truly believe we can solve all of our problems. But the American people need to become engaged in our government. The People should vote for Solutions, not for people who make those choices for us, based on bribes (that’s what political donations really are) from powerful people and businesses.
We can hold Congress accountable to the vote of the people on those ISSUES. Right now, career politicians only REALLY answer to the fat cats who bankroll their elite lifestyles, and pay for their manipulative political propaganda.
And…Oh yeah. We gotta stop electing lawyers and career politicians. Congress should be people like you and me, who serve a term or two and do the best job they can for ALL of the Country (not just their party). Then they go back to their lives as teachers, truck drivers, and chefs. Lawyers shouldn’t make laws. They can write the laws AFTER regular people tell them what we want the Law to MEAN.
Bottom Line? We’ll solve a fucktonne of problems with TWO easy fixes. Get rid of political contributions, and implement term limits for every elected office. Simple shit, man.
But what do I know. I’m just a guy on a couch. ~jg

This is really a BIG deal… No #GulfStream means everything coastal must change. Or die.

This is really a BIG deal. The Gulf Stream current is THE key to the marine and estuary foodchain up and down the US East Coast. No #GulfStream means everything coastal must change. Or die. Everything.
Because, Climate change is real. It doesn’t even really matter whether you believe we humans are the cause. What matters is that we CAN do something about it. We can change. For the better, if we CHOOSE to. We can CHANGE, to a sustainable, climate neutral lifestyle.
Fuck all the arguments against…we’ve heard them: Not practical. Expensive. Will cause unemployment. #YadaYadaYada
They simply are false. Political fear tactics by powerful entities with something to lose if we move away from oil, gas, and coal. Entities that pay very little in taxes and make millions in profits because we don’t have affordable, clean and green choices to THEIR products. They are a cartel. A monopoly, with many allies in Congress, thanks to the legal bribery we call our political $ystem…but I digress from my point. Sorry.
Choosing Earth-Friendy energy and green products shouldn’t be the more expensive, alternative choice. It should be the ONLY choice. It should be affordable and easy for ALL. Everyone.
Is the Gulfstream Current threatened by climate change?
Politicians want us to believe we’ll all suffer if we choose the sustainable, climate friendly, non-fossil-fuel-based options. In truth, for MOST of us…most of our lives will improve. New sustainable industries will grow the economy, promote innovation and create jobs. Hopefully they’ll pay taxes, too. More for everyone.
Only the super-sized, dino-energy shilling, tax-avoiding parasite corporations (oil gas & coal corps…you know who they are) and their comrades in oil (read: business partners) will suffer.
For awhile, anyway. Until those oil-slick corporate barons figure out another way to royally fuck us all up the ass. Sustainably. ~jg

Trump Lost The Congress and The Presidency, and is currently under numerous criminal investigations, yet the GOP now demand allegiance to this loser or risk censure. Why would they back such an epic loser?
When Carter lost after one term, he went back to Georgia and started building homes for poor people with Habitat for Humanity. When HW Bush lost his 2nd bid for America’s highest office, he shut up, and went back to his country club in Connecticut, rarely to be heard from by anyone, except for woulda shoulda coulda, Iraq War, around the dinner table rants with Jr. They didn’t lead their parties afterwards, or try to demand allegiance. Their opinion no longer mattered to their parties. At all.
Because they were losers, and everyone knows losers make shitty leaders.
Everyone, that is, except the new Republican Party, who rally around their half-wit, criminal tyrant, for fear of being blacklisted. Just like Mccarthyism. Just like Putin. Just like every other authoritarian regime in history.

My advice to real Republicans: Resist.
Time to stand up and be real. Like Rep. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Denounce the Big Lie, and all the other lies spewed by Fox News super-Trumpers and Newsmax profiteers. Denounce the Trumpian dictatorial control over your party, and work with President Joe Biden to heal the Nation, the people who voted for you, with the Truth, vaccines, money, jobs, and food they need.
Reject Trump. Save the Republican Party and The American Democracy. No institution, however great, can stand without a foundation of Truth and Reason.
I’m an old independent. I remember a different Republican party. 100% different from what it has shamefully evolved into. Once upon a time, there were actually progressive Republicans.
Where are they now? I challenge you to name ONE progressive Republican since Teddy Roosevelt.
Dear so-called Christians who would vote for Trump:
Would Jesus vote for Trump?
He’d be EVERYTHING Jesus thought was wrong about religion and the abuses in the name of God for profits.
See any parallels to the “prosperity gospel” these sheep-ish wolves are selling?
#IMO
Trump & pals are trying HARD to start a Holy War; an us-against-them, last ditch push, to bring about Armageddon and Jesus’s return. The question is, what are we, Secular and Non-Evangelical America, going to do about it? What about OUR First Amendment rights?
