You are correct HotCoffee. The left can only exist if they continue to divide Americans. Listen to the leftie/socialist media bobbleheads and all you hear is "white privilege" crap, all republicans are Nazis, men against women, rich vs. poor, corporations (that actually pay employees) are for profit and profit is not good, everything is a "right" and should be provided to anybody for free all paid for by the "rich" or whomever they deem as "rich".

Look at reality, most of the malcontents here lean towards communism but don't even know what the word means. Don your black pajamas and march to the broom factory. That's the ticket.

Bernie, Maxine, Warren in 2024? Go for it, but pre-plan your "we got screwed by election fraud" speech because you will need it.

As for Maxine....

Unfortunately the far right is just as bad. Hence, we have President Donald J. Trump elected by a majority of mainstream working Americans that think Washington D.C. is a cesspool and will put anyone in office that is an outsider.

Thom,

I am grateful to Professor Wadhams and the other climate scientists you've interviewed for all the work they're doing and for stepping forward to raise the alarm about climate change but I too am often frustrated by the lack of specifics. It seems very hard to get a direct answer about how bad things will get and how quickly. I am curious how they would interpret this report "Well below 2 °C: Mitigation strategies for avoiding dangerous to catastrophic climate changes" (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/09/14/1618481114.full.pdf). Specifically, wrt the probability density function in Fig. 2 describing the "Dangerous","Catastrophic" and "Unknown" scenarios, how would they draw a curve that describes their understanding of what the future holds for us. This report does seem to spell things out a little more explicitly.

It is particularly concerning in the context of Norwegian climate scientist post indicating that we have 4 years of emissions remaining if we want to stay below 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. (http://www.cicero.uio.no/no/posts/klima/should-climate-policy-aim-to-avo...)

Is the situation as urgent as it seems? It seems reckless to go above 1.5C on the one hand but it seems almost impossible to cut our emissions to zero in 4 years.

This bill is even more of a joke than the last bill, no public debate and it doesn't even have CBO scoring, yet we know about how many millions will lose health care, somewhere around 30 million. All of the Republican bills have had one objective, get rid of the high earners tax that funds much of the ACA as the first plank in an agenda of tax cuts for the wealthy. They want us to believe that you can somehow take away the funding for health care and still provide the same level of care, as if 1 plus 1 equals 3. None of their bills intended to fix the ACA, they were all about tax cuts, destroying the ACA, and Obama's legacy. As with Ryan's budget plans, Republicans engage in magical math that doesn't add up.

So Bachmann, I bet you never used the word bipartisan when Obama was president, did you?....hell he even gave up a Supreme Court pick thanks to massive election fraud.

I'm sure you'd still use that bipartisan word if it had been Clinton who got installed by Kobach and Putin, wouldn't you????

I am for medical tourism. I hope that the countries involved start advertising on USA television. Cuba would be best. Panama has excellent facility's. India is world renowned for excellent care and low costs. Stop paying for high cost insurance. You can save tons of money.

Maybe we need some satire for this subject:

I fear that you are right, johnrquinn.

I think they will buy them off

Bipartism?? How can you have that on a bill that kills millions? Will the Democrats have their souls removed like the other side?

Come on Trump. Just get out the plan you promised us over and over. Better health care for all, for less cost. "World Class!!!" As soon as that plan pops up, it should sail right thru. Why are you letting these clowns chip away at your reputation for keeping promises?

It's funny reading this a year and half later after Brexit and seeing the Pound still going strong. I understand the slight panic that people were feeling, but they just have to get out of that sky-is-falling mentality and realize things usually work themselves out. Believe it or not, I came across this while searching for bathroom remodeling Baton Rouge and I'm glad I did. Good article.
