Where do you live? No one in the Mojave or Sonoran Desert thinks this, so you seem like a poser. As the article mentions, the plants are 100+ years old. Millionaires design their properties to incorporate existing cacti. Are you a clueless foreigner?

That’s because Rick Perry is one of the only ones with executive experience.

All men do it, and no woman has ever been rude.  Can’t you see that music and computers are definitely sexist??  

Is your argument here one of scale?  Courts ruled that the leader of the executive branch cannot block anyone on Twitter, but leaders in the legislative branch can do so as long as the number is fewer than 20?  Okay, but why 20?  What about 200?  Or 2,000?  Or is it that you disagree with your coworkers and the…

just do India next time

The distinction between indictment and conviction is important. Members of Congress are going to base their votes on the desires of their constituents. Recent polls show that most “independent” and “centrist” voters do not think there is evidence for Trump to be impeached. Politicians from swing districts might not…

Impeachment doesn’t mean conviction or removal. There’s a high chance of impeachment (it’s by the House, not the Senate); there’s nearly zero chance he’ll be removed by force.

There are some miniature but significant examples of it:  Moving the BLM from DC to Colorado (and doing so quickly, and essentially firing people with long-term service), and moving top scientists into accounting jobs, and reducing the scientific advisory committees by about 70%.

Came down here to say the same thing. The whole crew is so vain and so cheap. Donald Trump’s cheap orange spraytan, Stephen Miller’s spraypainted scalp.  They’d all look better if they just stopped with the garbage.  ...Do they not see how ugly they are?  Do they really not know?

No, I’m not going to remember her name in 10 years because by then there will be 100 other cops who did the same thing. I can’t keep 100 names straight.  Cops like her should continue to be punished like this or worse.  Their multitude isn’t reason for mercy.

This isn’t about only the one informant. That person might have a spouse and children. You know the moment the informant’s identity is released, there will be white supremacists openly carrying at the informant’s children’s elementary school parking lot. It’ll literally happen the very same day. (These same people…

What gives you the idea that pet breeders are scientists? They’re not even “bad scientists.” They are hobbyists with no serious credentials. They are not scientists.

You’ve got it backwards. The scientists are expressing concern and caution. Non-scientists have said, IDGAF I’ll do whatever I want.

Quirky historical note: The caravan was led entirely by gay and lesbian people who were the most desperate for safety.

A huge majority of Americans say that evolution isn’t real. The top members of the American government say that Jesus coexisted with dinosaurs. If someone finds a fossil of a microbe on Mars, most Americans will say it’s a lie. These things take time. We’ve known about evolution for 200 years, and people still think…

She knowingly voted twice - because she believed she had to make up for the fraud happening elsewhere. The judge decided that her belief in the conspiracy theories was proof that she was too stupid and too crazy to go to prison.

These folks are walking for miles in 115-degree heat right past venomous rattlesnakes, but it’s going to be the non-venomous water snakes that really scare them all the way back home.

Most of that isn’t even arable land.

Regardless of sentencing, some things are certain:  This felony conviction will make it nearly impossible for her to carry a gun at any future job.  I don’t know that she needs to die in prison, but whatever job she gets in however many years should be something like a quiet office job where she interacts with almost…

I’m shocked the Democrats were so quick to ask for the whistleblower’s testimony.  There shouldn’t be any!  He/she brought this matter to everyone’s attention, and now Congress could use its powers to investigate and corroborate.  They don’t need a face-to-face interview (and one person’s testimony would never be…
