He got 72 mil votes.
And that's the scary thing. I realise quite a few voted for him because he wasn't Biden and he was a member of the GoP. But those that voted for him and actually like/and believe in him? That is the scary part. I'm thinking at least half.
Wrong. You twits still don't get it. Voting for Trump has nothing to do with liking or believing in him. That's how Democrats think, cultists. He gets the job done. When you hire a plumber, which is more important, liking him or knowing he's gonna fix the problem?

if you mean tearing down every institution this nation is built upon, & shredding the constitution as ' getting the job done' then you are correct.

he's done an excellent job.
You're insane.

With fracking however, there has to be a limit. When it contaminates ground water, that is too far.
the fracking doesn't contaminate the water. the materials already in the soil do that.


Oh come on, of course fracking can and does sometimes contaminate the ground water.
Fracking normally is very deep, and ground water is far above that.
But there are lots of cases where after fracking, the water coming out of the well becomes flammable.
That is NOT materials already in the soil.
Ground water does not touch soil.
It is much deeper than soil, in bedrock layers.
I posted the scientific study from 2017. post something that contradicts that study. dude, all you fks ever do is scream shit over and over like that makes you right. it doesn't. post some fking facts. asshole.

What you posted said nothing really.
It showed in specific instances were fracking did no harm.
That does not at all begin to prove fracking can not do harm.
And obviously fracking has done harm in some cases.
When water wells that used to be fine suddenly spout flammable gases, that clearly is a problem.

{...

Fracking can contaminate water supplies if it is not done properly, because the fracking fluid injected into rock to enable gas to be released often contains chemicals.
The problem should not occur, as fracking typically involves drilling more than a mile underground - far deeper than the water-bearing rocks (aquifers) from which we get our water supplies.
But another possibility of contamination occurs where the drill hole goes through the water-bearing rock.
If the borehole is not properly cased to stop leaks, the fracking water can escape into the aquifer.
This happened a lot in the early days of fracking in the USA.
Other problems can occur if the frackers drill horizontally too close to water-bearing rocks.
This is now considered bad practice, although it also happened in the USA, where small risk-taking companies pioneered fracking techniques before big operators took over.
Some areas have complained about high levels of the carcinogen benzene in underground water supplies as a result. In the UK, the Environment Agency says only chemicals non-toxic at small concentrations may be used.
...}


This goes on about many other potential problems, such as the chemicals they inject with fracking contaminating the ground water, the salt water that come out of the gas salt domes, getting into the ground water, etc.
 
The US also put suspected traitors into concentration camps.
japaneses? that was wrong. should never ever happen again. Japan bombed us first as I recall.

Japan bombed the fleet at Pearl Harbor, which should not have been occupied by the US anyway.
And they only did it after we illegally cut off their oil, iron, and food from places like Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, China, etc.
Not saying the Japanese did not start it, by invading China, but the US was not innocent either.
Don't derail this thread. Last Warning.

You derailed the thread by design from the beginning.
The positions you stated are MOSTLY leftist, and then you somehow then try to use them to promote a right wing agenda.
That makes no sense.
What you should do is deal with each point individually.
Your blanket bundling of diverse subjects prevents real discussion, and results in harmful political jingoism that one should NEVER do.

You said you agreed with it sans Israel. Noted. Your self loathing is also noted. Jews fault for the Holocaust. Americas fault for Pearl Harbor. You likely blame the rape victims for rape and business owners for daring to have a store for BLM to burn. People like you are annoying and a waste of my time.

DJT garnered 10mil more votes than in 2016 but still lost or looks like will lose by ~7mil votes. So the country wants to go Socialist. So now I am the de-facto resistance? Why? Do 77mil really want to pack the court, make PR and DC states, fund the Green New Deal, censor people they disagree with and support massive tax hikes??!!? Say it ain't so Joe.

I am pro the following:

  • 2nd amendment - Right to Bear Arms
  • Enhanced border security
  • Pro choice (men and women up to 20 weeks)
  • America First when it comes to manufacturing
  • Strong military - continued military spend, as it also helps the private sector
  • Fracking - Energy independence
  • Continued support for Israel
  • Small Government
  • Gay Marriage/LGB Rights
  • Big Tech accountability. If you're not an open platform you should not be regulated as such.
  • Equality for all NOT Equity

I am Anti:

  • Paris Accords - I like saving the environment but we should not be paying excess costs for this especially when Russia and China are the biggest polluters.
  • Trans girls playing sports vs. biological girls. Unfair advantage.
  • Increase in corporate and personal tax rates - would increase unemployment, encourage corporate inversions.
  • Nationalized Healthcare but support a revamping of the current healthcare system. Make it more like auto insurance.
  • Free college education - make it affordable by forcing colleges who charge significantly high tuition if the graduate cannot garner a job sufficient to pay that loan. Watch how quickly they stop charging $70k per year for sociology majors.
  • Letting China off the hook for COVID-19 and for consistently stealing trade secrets and trying to undermine our economy.
  • Doing anything with Iran until they admit they fund terror groups and cease that practice.
  • Biased Media (need to be held accountable - unsure as to how)
  • Censorship of any and all kinds.
  • Defund the Police.
  • Green New Deal
  • Making PR and DC states
  • Packing the Court
  • Belief the Country is Systemically racist

So now I am the minority? Scary
Actually, based on the votes cast, the people want TRUMP! out of office, but want Quid Pro Joe to have limited power so he cannot unilaterally enact his agenda.
Depends on how the GA senate race goes

Great point, without Dumpster on the ballot? My team wins! :)
Your team? Party over country again. Pretty sad.

So when was the last time you voted for a Dem - Half past never? ;)
I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries. Ooops. Now what? When was the last time you made a logical and or factual statement?

you didn't vote for bernie 'cause you liked/agreed with his policies ... you wanted him to get the nomination because you figured donny would beat him bigley.
I voted for him because of my hatred for Elizabeth Warren. But that was not what he asked. He asked when was the last time, didn't ask for a reason. Yes or no?

he asked:

' So when was the last time you voted for a Dem - Half past never? '

without having to ask for a reason - because it was implied, based on his & your posting history - that he was asking when was the last time you voted for a (D) based on (D) policies/platform. mass has an open primary?
No. I am registered as an Independent so I may vote in one or the other not both.

in CT we can't vote in any primary.

Yes! Thank you!!!

Ahhhh....I tried but now I see it is impossible with those like JoeB, candycorn, MarcATL, Faun and Lesh. You and I could maybe be civil.

behave yerself & we'll get along just fine.

Sure, right after you list the accomplishments of Biden for 47 years in office.

I'm not the one touting he has any. You are with Trumpie.
I agree, Biden has nothing to show for 47 years in Washington DC.

Facts About Fracking
By Marc Lallanilla - Live Science Contributor 10 February 2018


How safe is fracking?

But opponents say the industry is whitewashing fracking's real effects, a long list that includes air pollution, groundwater contamination, health problems and surface water pollution.

Recent history supports some of their claims: A fracking well in Bradford County, Pa., operated by Chesapeake Energy Corp., malfunctioned in April 2011, spewing thousands of gallons of contaminated fracking water for more than 12 hours.

And in 2012, Chesapeake was again cited for contaminating the drinking water of three families in Pennsylvania, resulting in a settlement of $1.6 million, according to NPR.org. "Many companies keep their specific 'recipes' for fracking fluids secret, arguing that this is intellectual property," Bjornerud said. "This lack of disclosure makes it difficult to tie any contamination of drinking water to a particular company or well."

Researchers from Duke University tested drinking water at 60 sites throughout Pennsylvania and New York; their research was published in 2011 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers found that drinking water near fracking wells had levels of methane that "fell squarely within a range that the U.S. Department of Interior says is dangerous and requires urgent 'hazard mitigation' action," ProPublica reports.

There may be more cases of water that has been contaminated by fracking, but legal settlements and nondisclosure agreements usually prevent access to any documentation of these incidents, The New York Times reports.

What Are the Effects of Fracking on the Environment?

By Melissa Horton
Updated May 8, 2019

Fracking and Air Quality

One of the main pollutants released in the fracking process is methane. Research indicates the U.S. oil and gas industry emits 13 million metric tons of methane annually, for a leak rate of 2.3% of all production. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), by contrast, estimates the fugitive emission rate at 1.4 percent. Methane is a major greenhouse gas. Its global warming potential is 84 times that of carbon dioxide on a 20-year horizon, and 25 times on a 100-year horizon.

In addition to fracking's global impact, there are harmful effects to those living near extraction sites. A host of ancillary components released at well sites can lead to health problems such as irritation of the eyes, nose, mouth and throat. Local air pollution can aggravate asthma and other respiratory conditions. Regionally, fracking-related processes release nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, forming smog that can deprive workers and local residents of clean air.

Fracking Effects on Water Supply and Quality

On a national and state level, the fracking process uses billions of gallons of water each year. On a local level, the median volume of water consumed is 1.5 million gallons per well, according to the EPA. This consumption reduces the amount of fresh water available to nearby residents, particularity in areas where water availability is low. When water is not available to fracking sites locally, it may be transported from other regions, ultimately drawing down available water from lakes and rivers across the country.

Another major concern is water contamination, as there is risk chemicals used in the fracking process might leak back into local water supplies. In a 2015 report, the EPA documented 151 spills of hydraulic fracturing fluid. In thirteen of those cases the spill reached surface water supplies.


The byproduct of fracking's water consumption is billions of gallons of wastewater, only small portions of which are re-used in the fracking process. The majority of wastewater is injected into underground wells, and what isn't injected is transported for treatment. The EPA highlights potential leakage from wastewater storage pits, or accidental releases during transport, as risks to drinking water supplies.

Couple of things about fracking - it's expensive. It's going to be obsolete before it even begins.

well damn, It seems it's been around for decades.

It has. Was reading an article a good six months ago, where the head honchos in Saudi Arabia are looking at new ventures to put their money into. They have realised that they will never extract all the oil they have, not because they can't, but due to EVs etc the demand is going to get so low over the next few decades that there will never be enough demand to extract it all.
