I found it amusing that Oxford Dictionary's word of the year is "post-truth".

'Post-truth' is a complete fiction of a concept, borne as everything is these days out of the moral high ground that the liberal left thinks it has. People have always voted in elections based on things other than facts and statistics, and there is absolutely no reason why they should be expected not to.
'Evidence-based' means nothing more than 'Agrees with me'.
There's a difference between what you say above and
"I never said that"
"I'm directly quoting you"
"Never said it"
"Here's video of you saying it"
"Nope"
Everyone should watch HyperNormalisation on iPlayer.
I thought it was a bit crap tbh. It felt like he turned that 5 minute piece from Newswipe about Putin into a 2 hour documentary.
NASA has been captured by life-time academic shills like Ital who buy blindly into the progressive narrative because it gives them a sense of belonging and acceptance for the first time in their nerdy lives.Quote:

You mean like the fact that Obamacare would work (even though we said it wouldn't) or that all the polls showed Clinton winning in a landslide (there wasn't a single 'reputable' polling company that predicted a Trump victory) or that mass immigration would help the economy or that multiculturalism was a positive and enriching development for Western societies?Quote:

Has Ital come out as gay/female yet?
Arrhenius figured out climate change in 1896. He's been shown correct repeatedly ever since.
There's another one where we went through all this climate trolling before. In the interests of not doing it all over again, take it there.
"[Arrhenius] was a board member for the Swedish Society for Racial Hygiene (founded 1909)..."Quote:

You called a Nazi an American patriot the other day so you're on at best equal footing.
Please find me any quotes Bannon has made which are racist in nature. I can wait.Quote:

What happened to the cucks saying threatening to leave NATO was insanity, seems to me Trump was 100% right? Lol at the Left / professional politicians / dishonest media, just utterly and completely discredited.
I'm on 2g can someone Google Steve Bannon Asian CEOs please?
That's some top Ad Hominem right there.Quote:

Armenian Kurd I believe he said.
Ah yeah, the Kurd thing makes his love for the Turkish flag completely understandable.
He's a cluster fuck of confused ideologies so at least he's consistent in his inconsistency.

Post a pic of you wearing it.
I thought asking for quotes pointing out Bannon was a neo-nazi was weird seeing as it's quite clear. Him then citing his father as not the wrong sort due to his hair and eye colour. Christ. What happened in the last 10 - 20 years or so to cause this? It's definitely not the war stuff because Henry Kissinger and John Bolton are being considered the norm. What happened?
Lol part 2 million:

Mark S. Wrighton, Chancellor
Holden Thorp, Provost
Dear Chancellor Wrighton and Provost Thorp,
In the wake of the recent Presidential election, we - the undersigned students, faculty and workers – urge you to take immediate action to make Washington University in St. Louis a sanctuary campus for students, staff and their family members who face deportation or are otherwise made vulnerable by President-elect Donald Trump.
The President-elect has campaigned on promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, which poses an imminent threat to members of our university community. In addition, Muslims, black people, LGBTQ* people, people with disabilities, and all people of color have been subjected to an increase in hate crimes and are in need of protection. With many of our classmates, professors, and workers under unprecedented risk, now is the time for action. We call upon the University to immediately create and implement a protocol for making itself a sanctuary campus.
Washington University has prided itself on a commitment to diversity and inclusion. Our mission statement promises to welcome students, faculty and staff from all backgrounds to create an inclusive community and a campus accessible to all. This past week, Chancellor Wrighton pledged in a university-wide email to “continue to make progress in enhancing diversity in our community and in creating an environment where all feel welcome.” Students across the country are calling for their universities to be made sanctuary campuses. We urge the University to take heed of the Chancellor’s words and lead by example.
A 2011 internal memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) places restrictions on officers from entering sensitive locations, such as college campuses. Specifically, arrests, interviews, searches, and surveillance are prohibited from occurring at sensitive locations. This memo gives the University a unique opportunity to protect its undocumented community members from law enforcement. We urge the University to investigate these regulations and declare itself a sanctuary campus.
https://www.ice.gov/doclib/ero-outre...9.2-policy.pdf
We write in solidarity with undocumented and otherwise endangered members of our community and with students across the country who have called upon their schools to take similar action. As Chancellor Wrighton stated, Washington University in St. Louis “has been a place where knowledge is unearthed, problems are identified and solutions are found.” We hope our university will take immediate action to uphold its commitment to diversity, inclusion, and the public good by protecting the safety of all members of our community. We look forward to working with you to develop such measures.
Signed,
Meanwhile the efforts to create a student union go largely ignored. Talk about misplaced 'liberal' ideals.
THE DONALD is coming to get us!
*pisses his pants.*

Distorting opinions based on evidence is one thing- actually questioning the statistical evidence itself is quite another. Together with the fact that some 98% Climate Scientists are in agreement on this - you aren't winning this one, with Trump or without him.Quote:

Something you aren't telling us, Ms Ital?Quote:

It's actually something with tangible benefits, and at the very least forces local governments to make a decision about how closely theyre going to follow federal laws. Don't lump it in with all the other shit.Quote:

They are not to be trusted as demonstrated exhaustively by their unethical conduct time and time again.Quote:

Because the majority of people - both you and I included - have nowhere near the level of understanding needed to be able to sit there and dig through pages of un-interpreted data.
Also, if you think your side doesn't have an agenda then... well... FUCK.
Mert, you're a jock that's no good at sport so you joined the Young Republicans just to have a team to cheer for the rest of your life. That is cuckness.
Watch your mouth. He could play in the NBA.
It's a sure bet that the cabal of vegan, sandal-wearing hippy climate scientists are using nefarious tools such as "journals" and "empirical, peer-reviewed evidence" to try to beat down the poor, misunderstood, and certainly not rapacious shitweasels, in the oil/gas conglomerates and Arab sovereign wealth funds.
You must be trolling.Quote:
