    There's no need to keep it a secret. It's an anonymous website.

    LOL. When did I hear that before? Oh, yeah, 2016.

    I agree with 50/50. It's a toss up. I won't be casting any deciding votes. Voting for pond scum just makes me feel dirty.

    yep, Trump won with less votes, but your right, he still won.....

    I do think people need to remember 2016 though and be reminded of that, every vote counts, not voting is a vote for Trump

    Popular vote being irrelevant, of course. All those extra votes from one state, of course.

    I've been hearing that my vote for X is a vote for evil, my entire voting life, which started in 1984.

    Yawn. It's boring.

    The boy cried wolf, 19 times too many.

    It is close to even odds. Not sure if you have ever played the ponies - but if horse (A) is paying 50-1 : (B) is paying 1.35 to 1 and (C) is paying 0.85- 1... Horse B and C are expected to be neck and neck with C having a slight edge.

    It is true that the odds-makers no longer have Trump as the Front Runner - but he is not exactly a "Long Shot" either. He is neck and neck with Biden. Not "exactly" 50/50 but darn close as horse races go.

    An observation. The same ones here defending the right to free speech for the Klan and Nazis and other racist pukes saying that they might not agree with them but defend their right to say it are the same ones pissed off about athletes taking a knee. Strange coincidence.

    Perhaps he liked what Trump was doing. Perhaps you should ask him.

    Not at all. Nobody cares if athletes take knees or state political preferences. They just need to do it away from the game. People like me don't care about their knees but truly hate to see sports befouled by politics.

    Conjuror Bernanke at it again, with a Mnuchin writing out checks for his friends. This is the best we got? We’re screwed!

    If this is the clown act, what’s the finale? Man eating lions with colectivos on dirt bikes?

    I’ll give Blue the nod as Drumpo is running the worst campaign I’ve ever seen. Calling your opponents populist left, shows how isolated he’s been — the office broke him, he sounds like Jeb Bush now.

    His only hope is Blue team is running the second worst campaign I’ve ever seen.

    Its a race between two bags of worthlessness - that is for sure.

    I am tilting Red this time - Biden coming out against pipelines was the straw that broke this camel's back. We need proper direction on the Environment - and Biden is not on that Train.

    Keystone has been a political football for a decade. But I generally agree, we’re going to be using oil anyway, so I’d rather get it from our neighbor than the other side of the world.

    The economic argument is a no brainer - no contest. Mine however is that getting it from "Nigeria" by "Tanker" instead of Pipeline not only exports our pollution problems to "non industrialized" nations .. it greatly increases the Ocean Pollution - which is the #1 Environmental risk .... CO2 coming in at #4) should 2 and 3 be of interest to you.

    Industrializaton and Population Growth - 1.4 Billion industrialized ( decade ago) out of 7 Billion ... say we get to double that by 2030 ... industrializing another 1.4 Billion souls.

    What does that look like ? - when you take someone eating a bowl of rice a day and bring them to the USA .. Hoorayy .. you increase their carbon footprint and overall consumption by 36 x.

    The amount of these pollutants into the oceans is increasing - not decreasing - and of course CO2 ... and it is highly pollutive industrializing these people in their own nations ... that is even worse.

    While this may sound nasty and horrible - that is because it is nasty and horrible - but that is what the basic math says -

    Option A) More Pollution Option B) Less Pollution .. .by a long shot.

    So in 2030 - wow .. there are now 2.8 Billion industrialized ... only 4.2 Billion to go right ? Right ??

    OHHHH .. I'm Sorry Luke .. all your friends have abandoned you- Population growth during this time is 1.5 Billion ... estimated for 2030 8.5 Billion.

    Not the increase is slightly larger than the number of people industrialized ...

    I did not wake up yesterday and start saying this ... has been 2 decades .. long before Michael Moore published his latest flick.
    Experts don't disagree on the numbers ... perhaps the magnitude but not direction.

    Ocean pollution - Big deal ..sure it is mentioned .. but then they make decisions that are bad for the Ocean ... when

    Not Building the Keystone will not change the CO2 equation by one drop of gasoline consumption. Its dumb economically .. and dumb Environmentally ... movie material Dumb and Dumber ..

    The problem isn’t population. It’s gluttony.

    Factually incorrect but - gluttony is also an issue ... referred to as "industrialization" in my post.

    Population is the problem ... if there were only 10 people on the planet ..we would not have a CO2 nor an Ocean Pollution problem - regardless of how gluttonous these people are.
