Don’t you just love Libs!? Lol! If Al Gorged wasn’t eating so many of them!

The point is that only liberals care about how their actions can impact others. Personal responsibility begins and ends at the tip of your nose.
That said, I’m not going to stop eating meat because of the associated carbon footprint, but supporting more sustainable food production methods seems reasonable.
Reducing your meat consumption, and/or changing the mix of meat to types that have a smaller carbon footprint are things you may want to consider. Application of a carbon tax to meat would provide small economic incentive.
While you were being mean to fluffy people…

I learned a new term anyway- ‘food format’. My food format for lunch today is in fact a homemade sandwich. Tonight my food format will likely be fish sticks as Mrs. B has to work late (teachers have it so easy). I can’t wait until my next pizza food format meal.
Trump says he would “love” to testify under oath to Mueller. His lawyers have other thoughts. There are similarities to his release of his tax returns that were never released.
MAGA: Keeping the rube in Rupublican. Doing the country proud in Davos.

I’m don’t see why the US particularly needs an ambassador for international religious freedom, but assuming we do, aren’t there better choices than former irrelevant senator, current failed governor and forever religious ideologue Sam Brownback?

The solar tariff needs a counterbalance, as it protects supply but will reduce demand because of higher prices. Since I doubt Congress will care to increase the Investment Tax Credit for solar installation, it may be up to GA and other states to support demand through a tax credit or other mechanisms. (There are some localized and other incentives out there, but a patchwork of small ones.) This makes the next PSC race that much more important.
Tax it you say. Democrats file bill for the license of retail marijane. http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/en-US/Display/20172018/SB/344
Protests at “Chump” Schumer’s! LOL!

I love that you linked us to an RT article….
A pawn is happily manipulated.
You would think as a America first type he would at least read American news.
By the way… MSNBC were doing live shots from Brooklyn the last 3 nights. The one during a Schummer interview was a nice tough.
Trump taking Davos by storm! Everyone wants a piece! A true conquering hero. Markets shooting up further!!!! MAGA, even in Switzerland!
Well if there is anyone that should love Trump it’s the globalist billionaires.
He’s even up for a TTP 2.0 trade deal too. (refer to Pat Benatar; ‘Get Nervous’; Track 6; 1983)

Did you figure out the song reference?
Poor ol’ Snivler!! You must not like a growing IRA! LMAO!
Why would anyone want the Irish Republican Army to grow? I have family in it and I don’t even want it growing.
For retirement investments especially, one should take a long-term view of economic growth. No telling how any of this plays out in the long-term yet. But, I would rather have dollar-based investments with a strong dollar-at any point.
Confirmation my taxes in Georgia will also go up.

Lurch and his facelift advising Abbas to not give in to Trump’s foreign policy. Logan Act violation…

I saw this story elsewhere. Curiously worded:
“Agha apparently reported details of the conversation to senior PA officials in Ramallah. A senior PA official confirmed to Maariv that the meeting took place.”
That’s not the same as confirming the content of any discussion.
A story about Kerry meeting with Palestinians in the Jerusalem Post. So take it with a grain of salt.
Lurch barely spoke. Kerry arguably uses too many words. Can we get more refined insults?
Sure it is. Private citizen interference in American foreign policy.
We negotiate with them, we send them cash….Recognised or not they are a government we do business with. Snivler, it’s best you just be silent instead of trying to sound informed on just about any issue on here. Your gross stupidity is hurting you!
I think the country’s current foreign policy trajectory under Trump is such the dollar’s supremacy as the currency of world trade will take a hit should there be a recession with Trump in office. Current interest rates and deficit spending adversely affect the USA’s ability to, using the phrase coined by Trump himself just last year, “prime the pump”.
In that circumstance, mutli-national corporations with relatively little US business, and developed countries may want to reconsider continuing denominating transactions and debt not involving the US in the currency of a country headed by an unstable reality TV star. Beyond the developed world, s—hole countries may find the Euro or Renminbi/Yuan a better choice since the US is now going it alone on trade.
Check out the wording of the Constitutional amendment making English the official language of Georgia governments: http://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/en-US/Display/20172018/SR/587
There’s no surprise that McKoon or Shafer are sponsoring its grandstand language. It’s a disappointment however that Brandon Beach is sponsoring an amendment that would trivialize the State Constitution by using the amendment to memorialize Georgia “as the number one state to do business in 2016 and 2017.” per some trade magazine. MAGA.
