That's the way in was originally intended, before there were modern-day Democrats.
How long until the Climate Cult re-appears, now that there's hot weather?

The power, authority and constraints on the US government are specified entirely by the US Constitution.
I guess you don't understand how our government actually works either. The powers, authorities and constraints on the US government are specified wholly by the US Constitution.

Why are you telling me? It's your President whose violating the US Constitution, his oath of office, and the US Supreme Court. He's failing to protect the border, he disobeyed the Supreme Court's decision on student loans and bragged about it, he writes lawless executive orders to give illegals mass amnesty, ignored the Supreme Court's ruling on eviction moratoriums, vaccine mandates, and abortion, and is bypassing other branches of government to push his radical "climate change" bullshit.
Sounds like he's doing everything he can to go in directions of which I wholly approve.

PS: Joe Biden is about as radical as my Aunt Petunia. And the American people know it. Trump and republican's attempt to portray him as such - as well as attempts to portray him as mentally or cognitively unfit - are running into the brick wall of reality.

Stereotype much?
The left is millions of people. How many do that?
I guess the stereotype for clergy is molester.

Biden isn't "radical", he's just incompetent. But he does cater to the most radical element of the Democrat Party, as well as radical environmentalists.

Take a look at the democrats' votes in congress over the past seven years. Nope, that isn't stereotyping--they vote lockstep and you all voted lockstep in electing them. Why do you refuse to accept reality.
Then why did you repeatedly say he was radical?
Based on his handling of inflation, the war in Ukraine, unemployment, the national debt, COVID-19 and the prosecution of Donald Trump, he's been extraorinarily competent.
Hardly.

I think this is going to a rough week for the left. Stay tuned.

Yet, here you are trolling me with absolutely no content. Buzz off troll. Address the topic or be reported.
I'm always tuned. It hasn't looked like a rough week from my PoV. Several wins from the SCOTUS, a dramatic drop in illegal crossing at the southern border and good economic news on several fronts. Tonight may well prove interesting for the right side of the presidential race. Assuming you watch, do keep all your side's commentary about Biden's cognitive state in mind - ie, has the Trump campaign been speaking truthfully to you.
BtW, in re the thread topic, why would anyone think "the climate cult" had disappeared?

Do a rain dance! Pray to Manitou!
People should stop thinking they can change the weather. But that's hard. After all primitive people did rain dances.
In ancient times there were pantheons of G-d's, and fables, myths, and books to go with them. The most famous of these were the Greek myths, and full length books such as the Odyssey and the Iliad. Norse sagas earn honorable mention. The Bible is a hybrid, aching to stretch towards modern ethics (chiefly in Leviticus and Deuteronomy), but with a healthy dose of the supernatural mixed in. While I am a firm believer in my Jewish faith, it takes a healthy suspension of disbelief to take literally certain events. The stories of the giving of the Commandments at Mount Sinai, the parting of the Red Sea, the burning bush and the story of Noah's Ark are but a few of those.
Man, put simply, had a need to understand and attempt to control events before which he was helpless. This included disasters such as massive floods in a desert climate (story of Noah), massive storms at sea (Jonah, and The Odyssey), and lightening storms (the story of the giving of the Ten Commandments). This list of stories of ancient vintage is by no means exhaustive. Ancient man was at the mercy of the elements and knew it. In Medieval times, disasters such as the spread of smallpox and bubonic plague took front and center. There were efforts to blame those catastrophes on disfavored groups such as the Jews. This was strikingly similar to the post-Mao attribution of earthquakes to the "Gang of Four" which included Mao's despised wife.
Modern man believes he can control his environment and is traumatized when he cannot. My childhood in the early 1960's was interspersed with "duck and cover" civil defense drills. Apartment buildings and schools, and office buildings had "fallout shelter" signs. This was pure theater of course. If there were a full-scale nuclear bloodbath there would not have been years of stockpiled food and potable water. Yet it was an effort to make the fear and panic more bearable.
Similarly after the 9-11 attacks we willingly waited, and still wait in long security lines at airports and office buildings, as if that will make us safe from the sick minds that devise such evil attacks. We are generals fighting the last war. Psychology compels us to "do something" even if it is objectively futile.
History repeated both Biblical and modern events with Covid.
Another example is "climate change." We grasp for explanations of devastating meteorological events such a massive hurricanes striking populated areas, or drought-fueled fires. Events such as the St. Croix Hurricane of 1772 (link) (dispute as to whether it was August 31 or September 14), but one way or another paved way for Alexander Hamilton to wind up in New York, and the Year Without Summer of 1816, see 200 years ago, we endured a 'year without a summer', are examples of overwhelming events that occurred long ago, before carbon emissions. Yet we seek to control these events, as if we could.
Basically, this harks back to the worship of the rain gods, Manitou, Great Spirit, Athena, Zeus and their less primitive Abrahamic successors. People feel a need to be in control, even when they are not. Nature is just too overwhelming.
