I know in my city I’ve seen a “homeless” guy beg for money, with a cardboard sign. Then goes and gets into his sports car and drives off.

Yeah? You've seen it? You saw him begging and saw him get in a luxury car and drive away? He parked right beside where he was begging?

I call bullshit.

Don't use "muppet" as an insult. The Muppets are awesome.

I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity,”

He didn't do the one most important thing he needed to do: hold a felon fascist insurrectionist accountable for his actions.

That's what his legacy will be.

Diquat is banned in the UK, EU, China and other countries.

Notice Canada is not listed as a country that bans diquat. It is legal and available here.

According to this CBC article:

American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.

The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
