Part of the reason for the rise of the 'welfare state' in the UK was the condition of their troops during WWI.
Their military noted that their soldiers were smaller than the Germans were, weighed less, and had more issues with health and education than their war-time enemies.
They won't be taken seriously until it's too late.
We're replaying the fall of Troy, but this time the city will fall because of the fuels we use; not because we dragged a horse full of Greeks thru the front door.
The scientists and environmentalists are in the role of Cassandra. Lucky us.
I presume the film claims that it's a fictional story. Most films like this do not actually tell a real story. They portray a drama.
To react to a fictional story in this manner gives the impression that the Government of Israel has something of a guilty conscience.
I now want to see the movie, for the same reason that I want to read books that are banned. (I've only been disappointed by one book that was banned...)
Isn't this old news though? IIUC white skin has only been around for the last ~8000 years. Link to the story from 2015. You're rubbing it in. I love it.
The Republicans are not going to impeach him. No matter what he does. He could shoot one of their members and they'd still give him a (&*^%* pass for the action.
Impeachment will not happen before 2019, if then. The wishful thinking is starting to annoy me. 🙂
I don't see how cutting off the supply line to Afghanistan will help the USA 'win' there. Unless this is some ham handed way of getting out of Afghanistan.
This is another nation that your president is insulting, unnecessarily. How many are left? Other than Russia.
I've been reading an interesting book, called "Democracy in Chains", the author argues that the Republicans are using an updated version of John C. Calhoon's rhetoric. (minus the pro-slavery arguments)
They've convinced enough people that those who have the gold should make all of the rules and laws. It's not likely the human race will recover from this error.
There have been times over the last forty years when the D's could have passed a universal health care act. They didn't do it.
By the standards of the rest of the world, the D's are a rightwing political party. Not leftist at all.
The fact that the R's have gone totally off the deep end doesn't mean that the D's are actually moving left. They're 'better' than the R's, but that's not much comfort to the people who live at the bottom of the economic pile.
There are many reasons to delete facebook.
This is just another one of them.
Isn't Dershowitz the former defense lawyer who endorses state sponsored torture?
I've ignored his 'opinions' after that one.

That picture of Putin is very similar to a portrait of Hitler...

Then again, that nutter had delusions about medieval history too.
Considering his administration's policies, and people, he does indeed want more climate change. For the whole world, whether we like it or not.
This article, and others like it, attempt to reason with the unreasonable.
More is expected from the USA, than from the authoritarian regimes of the world.
Well, it used to be.

There is no depth to which he will not sink.
This is the worst kind of reality 'show'. I'd rather watch Roman Circus', at least you could also get some bread back then.
Is it ironic, then, that Gandhi went to university to get his degrees?
"Those who know how to think, need no teachers Gandhi"
Colonial wars don't count.
The Gulf War was repeated. D'ya really think it was a war that could be called a victory?
Kosovo involved European allies.
No. He's not making your 'enemies' into friends. They'll remain rivals of the USA. Whether or not Trump's impeached.
But I agree with the rest of your post.
As for who will stop him? Hopefully it'll be law enforcement that does that.
They seem very proud of their past, and also seem to have no hope for a future.
Funny how those things go together.
Errm, the healthcare debate didn't start in 2008.
