I couldnt care less if Trump is President again.
It won't impact me one bit. But perhaps you'll be able to move up from the car wash you've been working at?

Let me guess... conservative authors and those that critique the religion of Global Warming.

Please define the word religion. And then connect that definition to the science of Global Warming.

Oh, and for extra credit, answer how calling something is a religion is an insult when you are presumably religious? As in: "Let me guess...liberal authors and those that critique the religion of Christianity." Using the word "religion" sarcastically and as an epithet to call into question that reasoning ability of a person who believes in Christianity.

This probably went over your head, but give it a shot at answering.

Religion: a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance; a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

Thanks for helping movielover out. Super kind of you, but I think I asked HIM to define religion since he was the one to use it as an epithet.

Typically the word religion applies to a set of beliefs as it relates to a god, but yes it has come to other colloquial usages. The way he used it was to denigrate the word religion when applied to Global Warming. I think one could hazard to guess that he would celebrate a religious belief in a god or cause he agrees with but that then "religious" connotes irrational on a god or cause he disagrees with. So does he believe that faith without empirical evidence is good or bad? Does he think that systems of belief held with ardor are good or bad? Or does he not really know what he thinks or means but that sounded like a cool insult that would work on FOX or a Twitter meme? I am betting the later.

Define "drugs". Because you seem to be using the term "on drugs" as an epithet.

Trigger warning for xenophobic racists.

Turns out immigrants aren’t “takers” after all - they’re givers to the US economy and essential to a sustainable future, especially if we want elder generations to age with dignity. https://t.co/iv6B6EQAdI

But make no mistake, here in the Golden State the Top 1% (AGI > $844,266) accounts for 42% of total CA income taxes.
These households pay roughly 27% in taxes. CT has the highest effective tax rate (28.4%)

The special counsel "Hur said his investigation "uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen." (emphasis added)

The materials included "marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and notebooks containing Mr. Biden's handwritten entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods." "

But declines to bring charges due to the always popular "he's a nice, feeble old man defense":

" The special counsel also described Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," Hur wrote in the report. "Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone from whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict himby then a former president well into his eightiesof a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness." " (emphasis added)

Joe Biden was unauthorized to possess those classified documents.
