I'd say dealing with you was like trying to have a discussion with a child, but I have more respect for children than that.

Palm Oil Was Supposed to Help Save the Planet. Instead It Unleashed a Catastrophe.

A decade ago, the U.S. mandated the use of vegetable oil in biofuels, leading to industrial-scale deforestation — and a huge spike in carbon emissions.
...
The tropical rain forests of Indonesia, and in particular the peatland regions of Borneo, have large amounts of carbon trapped within their trees and soil. Slashing and burning the existing forests to make way for oil-palm cultivation had a perverse effect: It released more carbon. A lot more carbon. NASA researchers say the accelerated destruction of Borneo’s forests contributed to the largest single-year global increase in carbon emissions in two millenniums, an explosion that transformed Indonesia into the world’s fourth-largest source of such emissions. Instead of creating a clever technocratic fix to reduce American’s carbon footprint, lawmakers had lit the fuse on a powerful carbon bomb that, as the forests were cleared and burned, produced more carbon than the entire continent of Europe. The unprecedented palm-oil boom, meanwhile, has enriched and emboldened many of the region’s largest corporations, which have begun using their newfound power and wealth to suppress critics, abuse workers and acquire more land to produce oil.

A Winter-Coat Heavyweight Gives Trump’s Trade War the Cold Shoulder

That’s a good point.

 

The addition of a super-thin sheath of fabric to the sole of a boot or shoe can help circumvent an existing 37.5 percent tariff on rubber soles imported into America. A fabric sole, by contrast, is taxed at 12.5 percent. (Customers find that the fabric wears off within days, revealing the rubber sole beneath.)

That's hilarious. Well, sort of. ... Columbia schools Cheeto in the Art of the Deal.

 

Again, it’s different when they do it. #TrumpAboveTheLaw

 

Because I called Obama a race baiter for saying Americans are racist, bigots and have mommie issues. I don't see any other way to take that statement.

Who says mommie issues anyway? That just sounds dumb.

 

You’re anti-abortion now? Good, glad to hear.

 

Cheeto is a failed business man who succeeded on the oldest cliches in capitalism, If you shoot low enough you’ll make a killing. Not only did trump not write the Art of the Deal, it’s doubtful he read it. It’s also doubtful he has the ability to read the whole book.

 

I think government has the affirmative duty to make sure each fetus has an equal opportunity to succeed in life as every other fetus. And the affirmative duty continues through the 225th month of viability. Anything short of that is pro-abortion.
