@arstechnica in a state that climate change already impacts more than most
@arstechnica Party of small government folks
@arstechnica dumbest timeline
@arstechnica Should we start placing bets on whether he'll feel like an ass when he's boiling alive?
It's a hard one. It seems like finding yourself in that position you'd have to--oh shit, I've killed my grandchildren through my arrogant insistence I'm always right. That then has to weigh against the fact that he doesn't already, which says a LOT about his powers of self delusion.
I believe in him. I say he can hold out to the end. "I did what I thought was right."
@arstechnica What a little turd.
@arstechnica time to name cat 5 hurricanes after these GOP idiots. Looking forward to reading headlines in the Miami Herald: “after Trump, De Santis hurricane is expected to bring devastation to Florida… with wind guts up to 200 miles an hour”
@arstechnica When a republican calls ANYTHING "radical", it's basically admitting they don't have a clue about it. If it's decades old technology, to them, it's "radical". To the rest of society, it's just common sense.
