Stop calling them sceptics and calling them what they are: liars, willful deniers and shills. Purposefully rejecting reality in pursuit of personal gain. There's nothing sceptic about that.

When they say "great" they mean "cruel" and we hear "terrible, racist, misogynistic, impoverished, and needlessly violent."

This is what they want. Total dismantling of every system that impedes capitalism and Christianity from absolute authority.

Maybe Dems shouldn't have expanded oil drilling to the highest levels on record while leasing off more BLM than previous administrations, while campaigning on genocide.

The owners of the US finally being honest is no different in effect than them hiding behind lies they never intended to fulfill.

At what point do we start accepting the fact that he’s doing this on purpose?

The comparison of the person proposed for the equivalent position in the European Union is interesting.

Of course it is. They've not (yet) been taken over by billionaire fascists.

I'm glad there is no fracking needed around us. My groundwater source is fairly safe.
