What if Trump's bluffs are called because anything regarding alliances, treaties, and trade agreements falls under the authority of congress?
Yeah and congress is also supposed to declare war and that hasn't happened since WW2 yet we have been in countless engagements and campaigns.

War doesn't have to be declared to give the executive the authority to engage in combat. War Powers Act of 1973 which Nixon vetoed then was overridden by congress.

You know, most of the time I think you are pretty smart. And then you come out with something like this that barely qualifies as drivel.

1. Anthropogenic Global Warming is not a falsifiable hypothesis as there is no control group. Instead people are busy running simulations of a chaotic system (hint: chaotic systems are impossible to simulate) and amazingly their simulations all predict a lot of warming, thus guaranteeing themselves more funding.
You clearly know nothing about the scientific method. Control groups are used when you are actually experimentally manipulating variables in order to test a hypothesis. Analysis of global warming is observational (along with a massive amount of other fundamental science, like much of our knowledge of the properties of light, chemicals, heat, evolution, gravity etc), and it is absolutely falsifiable.

What you just said is like saying "The Wave-Particle duality of photons is not a falsifiable hypothesis as there is no control group". Let that seep in how retarded that is and how embarrassingly scientifically illiterate you are. And it's totally rich how you say simulations of a chaotic system lack rigor when you're seemingly a huge fan of economics-- which uses far less rigorous models and simulations to model far more chaotic systems. Do you believe in evolution? Because that's equally unfalsifiable according to what you've just said.

The most substantive evidence for anthropomorphic climate change isn't even climate models, it's literally just recording temperatures over the last 150 years and comparing it to data over the last several hundred thousands years, as well as understanding the physical mechanics of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses and their role in the climate.

Falsifiable Premise #1. Do CO2 and other gasses increase the temperature of the Earth? Yes.

Falsifiable Premise #2. Have humans caused a precipitous increase in global greenhouse gas concentrations? Yes.

It's really as simple as those two premises and there is a mountain of evidence for both. You think climate science is a systematic conspiracy so climate scientists can get more funding? That's an astounding claim. You could say that about any science you're willing to discredit. I don't like free market economics, so I'm going to say that about free market economists right now. I'm going to say they are being funded by Jews as a way to sway public opinion and protect their wealth from government interference. God how retarded of me. What is it about this forum and the belief in conspiracies?

2. Trump is a master negotiator and persuader. It's what he's done for a living for the past 50 years. He's starting by taking aggressive positions for things that would help this country (like the rest of the NATO countries spending their fair share on defense) and then when he is actually President he can make a few concessions here and there and still get most of what he wants.
You've actually listened to him branding himself as a master negotiator? Because he wrote "The Art of the Deal", right? Just goes to show what he's truly a master at-- branding.

3. Flouting the authority of the financial elite is precisely why he is in the position he is. In fact I can't think of more perfect evidence that the US is in fact a functioning democracy than Trump being elected against the wishes of the elites in both political parties, banking, media, and industry.
It is a triumph of the democratic process, I was talking about the fact that our culture has degraded so thoroughly that we can elect someone like Trump or Clinton.

4. Putin loves Trump because Trump is smart enough to realize that we have nothing to gain and everything to lose by antagonizing Russia (and China). Hint: the Cold War is over, and we won. Instead, Obama and Hillary sent the CIA to help a group of Neonazis overthrow the Ukrainian government. We are sailing our destroyers next to China's South China Sea artificial islands. We have absolutely nothing to gain by these actions.

I don't think Trump can fix our problems (the hole is too deep) but it's like Liberals have these reality-altering glasses that you all wear or something.
I agree with you there, I'd love nothing more than to quit meddling in everything and cut our military by 90%. But the reality is, we're balls deep in global politics and his comments were idiotic-- talking about not honoring our alliances in Europe as a threat to get allies to comply during the campaign is not how you broach the issue of NATO. He's already persona non grata in the UK, the USA's closest ally, and he's not even President yet. Can't wait to see what other foreign policy achievements we get out of him.

Well the way Trump represents himself in front of the media comes off with clear characteristics of Narsistic Personality Disorder. And the way his train of thought jumps between topics in many of his speeches shows that he has a short attention span, thus: ADD . A billionaire is not immune to mental health any more than an average person.

He did that to keep the medias attention, and their loyal viewers rife with ADD etc. And it worked effectively. He keeps you engaging, doesn't he? Cruz had none of that, and now he's nearly forgotten by all. Meanwhile Bernie is getting booed by his own followers. No one can even stand to smell the stench coming off of Hillary, will only vote as they plug their noses.

I coined the name Darth Jew for our current occupier.

1) the voice and speaking tone (most obvious)
2) violent rhetoric I.e. "never again"
3) obsession with colonization at any cost
4) scare politics
5) secretly funding strawmen bad guys (same as the Trade Federation in star wars)
6) sub-human treatment of non Imperials I. E. Palestine
7) bullshit fraud election making himself an unwanted dictator
8) vows destruction of enemies of the empire

Welp that was plenty to make it stick on the blogs

Decent breakdown of climate change denial here. Every premise that anthropogenic climate change is founded on is absolutely sound.

The only crevice you can hide in without making retarded arguments is that we don't have any experimental model on the scale of the Earth and any effect we could have is minute compared to the scale of the entire planet (wait, actually I just meant that's the least retarded point you can make, not an unretarded one).

This argument typically manifests accompanied by a disbelief that the theory of evolution applies to humans. It's a faith that humans are so tiny compared to God's creation that they could not possibly destroy their tiny speck of liveable habitat. Kinda realized while writing this that it's not any less retarded than the other shit the incel you quoted was saying, actually.

I understand having extreme skepticism about granting Emperor Zog another weapon with which to selectively wage economic warfare. The problem, however, isn't with the concept of anthropogenic climate change -- it's with the fact that we have an Emperor named Zog. When he is gone we will still have this problem to deal with.

Not really, doesn't keep me engaged, he appears amateurish with public speaking, I usually change the channel when he speaks out of boredom. and I get bored because he is a " leader" that can't focus on a topic, the only speech I can think of that he didn't do this was his RNC speech. And let's be clear, this behavior of short attention span had nothing to due with the media, it is that he usuallycannot focus, he had the RNC complain to him about this. Maybe the RNC gave him a Ritalin to calm him down

Bernie's DNC speech in the evening was more widely accepted by everyone than the earlier one. Give him some credit, he was booed at the idea of telling his followers to vote for someone else. But hopefully they realize Trump is further from their ambition than Clinton. I know neither is perfect, but Trump really is far from what a Bernie supporter wants from a leader.

lol under threat http://dailycaller.com/2016/07/25/be...at-convention/
They have their own little jackboot police state going on in that convention. The DNC has turned to complete fear and intimidation to propel their failed quasi-democracy revolution centered around their worshiped goddess.

Bernie just fell in line just like I called it out when he got bumped off his rally podium by BLM, ran to the other side of the stage about trembling the poor old man. There is no fight left in the guy, it's sad, and many are finally realizing this. That's right, Trump and Bernie are not alike, Trump will actually fight against things like your TPP, but Bernie seemed to just surrender that to the whim of Hillary, stolen, betrayal, sold out. btw you remind me of someone....

Anyway, the demonization of Russia is just a part of their rhetoric, or that of Putin (so goddess can fight the devil). These are hard-core globalists doubling down to stay in power, and they desperately need an enemy to sell it all to you, to accept their puppets. Losing the US to a free nationalist could mean a setback of at least a decade if the Don does even 1/10'th of what he said he'll do.
