I’ve been saying it for a few years now: it’s really time for the marginalized to show up armed to events at which the Alt White (aka Alt Right) morons plan to intimdate attendees. Yup. Lying hypocrite Lindsey Graham says there will be riots in the streets if Trump is indicted. Well ya know what Lindsey? We are sick and tired of you stupid assholes. Bring. It. On. ---

He assumes law enforcement will be among the rioters. If there were riots, he may well have been right. ---

Wouldn’t it blow their little Fox minds if the “antifa” started wearing camo? Or khaki pants and black polos? I know that won’t happen. Those against faschists have better fashion taste than to don either of those outfits. ---

So, clearly major hurricanes happen with lower levels of carbon dioxide. That doesn’t add up for them.” The Energy & Environment Legal Institute appears to be another conservative organization fighting environmental regulation.\* Their figures on numbers of major hurricanes are…[questionable](http://tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/index.php?arch&loc=northatlantic). By my count, there were 127 major hurricanes in the Atlantic from 1965-2017, and 112 major hurricanes between 1913 and 1965 (a corresponding time period), so a case can be made for increasing major hurricanes in recent times (with the caveat that storm strength is measured much more precisely now). \*to be “fair and balanced”, Fox also quoted a representative of a U.N. climate panel and a spokesman from the NOAA, although giving a small minority contingent of climate change “skeptics” equal time with consensus experts does not equal “fair” reporting. Major media do have a bad habit of citing single severe weather events as proof of climate change, instead of making the effort to link them to trends over time (one example was this past summer’s lightning strike in D.C. that killed two people).
