That government needs to be leveled. It's a human rights issue for me.
And how do you do that without millions of deaths in Seoul?It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds soon I discovered that this rock thing was true Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet All of a sudden i found myself in love with the world And so there was only one thing I could do Was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long - Jesus Built my Hotrod Ministry Live every week like it's Shark Week! - Tracey Jordan Just a monkey in a long line of kings. - Matthew Good If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist! - Get Your War On *not an actual doctor

This Fox News report on a Fox News Poll contains the following tidbits, quoted verbatim: Just like every other poll, this one reveals a core support among most Republicans, who view things through a completely different lens than do independents, Democrats, and a small but growing number of republicans. What is not visible in the summary, but is apparent in many other polls, is that the large body of Republican support is eroding. It is gone from the 90s to mid-70s over time and represents most of the day light we are seeing between the 40 percent level earlier in the year and the 35% approval level we are seeing right now. If Trump can manage to handle hurricane Harvey without a "great job Brownie" level gaffe, perhaps he can stabilize the current downward trend. After all, a president's job during a natural disaster is almost entirely PR as long as Congress does not make a buffoon out of itself, and FEMA with local authorities do their jobs.

It's Jim Bakker. Nothing to see here. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

The effectiveness of their response is not what raises an eyebrow. It's that their response is more than usual. I don't give a crap about your eyebrows. Other than making idiots feel good, futile gestures are worthless. The problem remains. You are arguing that if the South Koreans are taking silly actions, then the US should too. This despite the fact that futile gestures only help the NK dictator maintain his grip on his country. I am going to have to review your posting history. If it turns out that it is replete with more of this same kind of nonsense, I will know whether I am wasting my time.

Here is an article of interest: Trump's Nominee To Be USDA's Chief Scientist Is Not A Scientist
Unbelievable! Why on earth would the president nominate someone with such adversarial credentials? Does he want to pick a fight with common sense?

Wakee wakee
He has done that with each of the Science related Agencies and also cut their budgets. How about appointing someone who made a career out of suing the EPA to head EPA? How about telling NASA to stop looking back at the Earth and only look to the stars? How about cutting the FEMA budget? Look at the current US Gov EPA website. Note "We are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt."
The website is being updated to reflect political dogma instead of reality.

It will be interesting to see how the current bureau will reformulate the message of that website! I looked at the old website, still available through links:
Climate Change Let's focus on just this issue. What will the current administration emphasize in regards to a proven scientific topic?

Maybe we can get a town hall meeting with the president, the chief "scientist" and a room full of high school and college science instructors.

What happened in Houston was certainly a tragedy and we need to try to help those who are suffering BUT much of the tragedy was man made, predictable, recurring and self inflicted.
Houston grew as quickly as it has, as large as it has and during that time zoning has been repeatedly voted down as have building requirements. Farm and scrub land was paved over replacing dirt to absorb water with asphalt and concrete to retain water. The people of Houston chose to allow virtually unregulated expansion and construction. I listen to those poor folk shocked that their house got flooded when it became necessary to lower the water in the dams; but that is simply wilful ignorance on their part. I feel for those who do not have flood insurance but come on, Houston floods every time it rains. The issue is whether or not Houston and other areas learn a lesson. Will they take the unpopular position of changing where folk can build, how folk can build, how roads should be built, including emergency and disaster preparedness into the initial planning and construction requirements?
