The suzerain Trump

[pErvinalia]

Yeah. It's time to get over the shock that the US has an infant for President. There's going to be bigger things to be shocked about in the coming four years, is my guess...

The Crumples are upon us.

[DaveDodo007]

Yeah, yeah. Keep the salt flowing. We conservatives are sick of your hate, violence and intolerance, get used to people who have different opinions than you. You should thank the god (you and I don't believe in) that we aren't as authoritarian as you claim we are (and you are). We are going to introduced respect, law and order, promote ambition and self respect to the youth and give them a future they can believe in. No longer will your corrupt ideology produce a welfare culture as we will give them jobs and hope. Why don't you all go and live in a country practising your Utopian paradise. Ho wait you can't because they don't exist, every time you tried it there was a 100% failure rate. We conservatives exist for a reason and that is we are best at running any country, though you keep being you.

Perhaps you could lead us by example Ddd007?

Oh well, I guess not. Happy New Riech

"introduced [sic] respect", "law and order". Code words for conservative authoritarianism.

[Brian Peacock]

Don't be such a cuckitarian.

I'm actually a neo-concucktivist.

Trump "doing" Capitalist things, deals:
Trump is mocked because he isn’t getting anything done. The president-elect is taking credit for things that already happened, or the accomplishments of others. For example, Trump took credit for the good economic numbers in November despite the fact that the growing economy has nothing to do with him because he is not yet the president. Trump took credit for the horrible Carrier deal that Mike Pence negotiated, and Trump is trying to pass off the Sprint job announcement, which he had nothing to do with, as an accomplishment.

When did politicians start doing Papal-style New Year's messages? It really grinds my gears.

With 20% of Americans voting for him and 38% approval, Trump claims:

Climate Change Skeptics Welcome Open Debate Under Trump Presidency

After years of imposed “scientific consensus” on global warming, a number of skeptical climate scientists are hopeful that their views may finally get a hearing under the new administration.

Georgia Tech scientist Judith Curry, for instance, labelled a “climate heretic” by Scientific American for her contrarian views, sees a light at the end of the long Obama tunnel.

“Here’s to hoping the Age of Trump will herald the demise of climate change dogma, and acceptance of a broader range of perspectives in climate science and our policy options,” she wrote last month on her popular blog Climate Etc.

Part of the problem is that no one really knows how many climate change skeptics there are among scientists because of the high personal and professional cost of heterodoxy.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams has compared climate change skeptics within the scientific community to “Shy Trump Supporters” who are too afraid to say what they really think for fear of being ridiculed or worse. As we can plainly see, he wrote, “the cost of disagreeing with climate science is unreasonably high if you are a scientist.”

William Happer, professor emeritus of physics at Princeton University and a member of the National Academy of Sciences, played his cards close to the vest for years in order survive in a hostile scientific climate.

“I held my tongue for a long time because friends told me I would not be elected to the National Academy of Sciences if I didn’t toe the alarmists’ company line,” he said.

As the political climate changes, however, climate change skeptics may find their voice and enter a debate that has hitherto been closed off to them.

Happer, for instance, is more optimistic of what the future holds. “I think we’re making progress,” he said. “I see reassuring signs.”

Dr. Duane Thresher, a climate scientist with a PhD from Columbia University and NASA GISS, has pointed to “publication and funding bias” as a key to understanding how scientific consensus can be manipulated.

Although scientists are held up as models of independent thinkers and unbiased seekers of truth, the reality is that they depend on funding even more than other professions, since much of their research has no market value. Thus, they will study what they are funded to study...

WTF!

After years of imposed “scientific consensus” --

Stop right there. Do people really think that science works like that? And if they do, who told them?

[Tero]

Sorry Trump, we are going to make the first 100 days miserable. Just like you racists did for Obama.

The climate "skeptics" (denialists) are pulling the same trick ID proponents have tried to pull. Act as if they are being shut down and censored, as opposed to their views being dismissed because they are flat out wrong.

This is what I feared most from a Trump Presidency, while everyone else was whining about his sexism and other shite (and I notice a certain person here never responded to my posts about it, preferring to go after softer targets). This is where I see the real damage being done.
