The same thing every older generation has called younger generations since the beginning of time. 

In other words, comparable to the stuff that younger generations are calling the older one.

I'll be kind of sad down the road when I'm part of the old generation because, right now, I get a never-ending source of entertainment from the verbal slap fights between boomers (olds still trying to hold on to relevancy) and millennials (young people trying to leapfrog everyone to be the only defining voice of our time).

True, with how Breitbart is the home for really stupid conservatives who are butthurt about everything relating to the left, you obviously wouldn't get caught up in right-wing faux-outrage there!

From Pelosi: “The House cannot choose our impeachment managers until we know what sort of trial the Senate will conduct.”

This is almost how government works... No Nancy, you have no say in how the Senate is run

Cliff notes: he has the “right” views (aka views I agree with it), so everything is ok.

I’d love you see the parallel universe where conservatives have it this good with the media.   Inb4 boogie chimes in and claims how  it’s 50/50 down the line with both sides.

Lol yea I saw that yesterday. 
Also fun watching the media tap dance around blacks assaulting Jews in NY. 

So does Meghyn Kelly get her job back now, or who was it that got fired for suggesting blackface was ok as a costume?

They looked the other way on Trudeau, also.  Identity politics on the left is purely, well, politics and very little to do with actually confronting real racism, sexism, etc..

If you attend church, or anything where a lot of people are sitting ducks, get a CCW and learn how to shoot. And practice. Video below shows someone open fire in a Texas church and he gets smoked by someone with a gun, and there are 4 other people about to draw. Fuck criminals, end them.

What a tough end to 2019 for the media and regressives. A good guy with a gun makes an amazing shot to kill a possible mass murderer, and Trump didn’t pull a Hilary Benghazi moment, and it’s almost like they wished it had happened.

You are correct, but of the 535 members of Congress, I would say she is one of the top 5 reasons, if not the biggest reason for such a low rating.

All of those trying to blame climate change for the fires in Australia.... wrong again, it is actually all arson. This is why rational people are skeptical of the constant climate change hysteria.

Sure, arson is the direct cause of the fires it looks like, but the fact that Australia's climate has become drier has led to the fires becoming more devastating. That is where the impacts of climate change come into play. The drier climate and lack of rain just fuels the fires. You cannot deny the fact that Australia's temperature has increased a few degrees over the past 50 years and that is leading to drier and more arid lands, more dry brush, etc. That makes any fire way worse than it used to be in previous years. That is the impact of climate change.

You have no idea how much less fire there would be if this happened 50 years ago. There was also a significant weather event that caused the drying, which there is no way to know if it's due to climate change or not. Just yelling climate change at everything that is happening is ridiculous.

Yes we do...we can look back at 50 years and see if the fires were worse or the same. They are worse now that the air is drier. That is climate change as in the climate changes over time...

Now.....I will concede the exact cause of the climate change is TBD, as in it is TBD if it is natural or man made. But, to ignore or deny the fact that the earth is warmer than it was 50 or 100 years ago and thus areas of the plant are drier is short sighted. 

We can both be right, arson casued the start of the fire, but the natural or man made change of the climate has made the fires worse.

There is no proof of that.  Climate Change is always blamed, as that's what their rigged models predict, but research has not established a signal in the empirical [actual] data.  That has been the case for hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires, flooding, etc...

And it shouldn't be surprising when you're talking less than 1 degree warmer than the 1880 baseline or whatever (and less compared to other decades since then).  Also, more of the warming occurs on the lower end (higher lows) and at night.  And about 2/3 of warming has occured in the upper 2/3 of the northern hemisphere (last I checked Australia is in the southern hemisphere).  So this theory that climate change is causing worse wild fires should fail the common sense test.

There's no doubt CO2 has caused some warming.  But probably not all of it, and the more you dig the more the "existential crisis" melts away (pun intended).

HLN, which tends to be better than some of the others, just had an interview with an Iranian diplomat calling the assassination "state terrorism".

Ummmm, this guy was literally in charge of exporting state sponsored terrorism.  Pretty shameful to run that soundbite without any challenge or balance to the question.

it is funny to watch the left defend Iran now.  Trump is winning bigly

You can keep saying climate change, but repeating it over and over doesn't make you right.

Actual science has already stated that it is due to arson AND exacerbated by the Indian Ocean Dipole, which is a naturally occuring event (their version of El Nino).

This is the most severe IOD in 60 years, that part is true, but that also means that there have been even worse IODs back "before" we were spewing that much CO2 into the air.
