The Chinese government has announced that they have developed an almost-instant, 100% accurate swab test for COVID. The bad news is that its a anal swab. The really bad news is that it has to reach the back of your throat.3 points -

I am not disagreeing on the idea that fossil fuels take time to transition away from. I am simply saying that some of your sources aren't to be taken at face value because they are known to be biased. The reality is quite likely somewhere in the middle of what the oil and gas industry says and what the pie in the sky "end all oil" types think.2 points -

There is part of me that wonders why she wants to get into these Twitter spats, she will only galvanize each side more.

It's incredible that when so many Republicans are asked "did Biden win the election fair and square", dodge the question or go of on another tangent, as much as people or preaching healing America is forever fractured, and the guy who did it is a functioning imbecile with no business skills, who only knows how to bully and lie and appeals to the worst kind of people that society has to offer.1 point -

Former KGB spy makes explosive claims Donald Trump A former spy for the KGB is making explosive claims about Russia's efforts to "cultivate" former President Donald Trump as an intelligence asset. In an interview with the Guardian, former KGB official Yuri Shvets claims that the then-Soviet government starting in the 1980s began to see Trump as a potential instrument for spreading anti-NATO propaganda. In fact, Shvets says that Soviet agents even planted the idea of running for office in Trump's head when he visited St. Petersburg and Moscow in 1987. "For the KGB, it was a charm offensive," he explains. "They had collected a lot of information on his personality so they knew who he was personally. The feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically, and he was prone to flattery." Shortly after Trump's trip to the USSR, he took out a major advertisement in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe, in which he questioned why America should be paying for the security of NATO countries. "The bizarre intervention was cause for astonishment and jubilation in Russia," the Guardian writes. "A few days later Shvets, who had returned home by now, was at the headquarters of the KGB's first chief directorate in Yasenevo when he received a cable celebrating the ad as a successful "active measure" executed by a new KGB asset." Although Trump throughout his first term was notoriously friendly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he also took multiple actions that angered the Kremlin, such as his decision to launch missiles into Russian ally Syria in 2017 for its use of chemical weapons on civilians. Author Craig Unger, who used Shvets as a key source for his upcoming book American Kompromat, tells the Guardian that Russia did not have some grand long-term conspiracy to make Trump president, but rather lucked into Trump's presidency through a series of unlikely events. "It was not this grand, ingenious plan that we're going to develop this guy and 40 years later he'll be president," he says. "At the time it started, which was around 1980, the Russians were trying to recruit like crazy and going after dozens and dozens of people." Former KGB spy makes explosive claims Donald Trump - Alternet.org GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert mocks a mass shooting survivor for not being 'tough' Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Greene, who has previously expressed support for QAnon, mocked Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg on Thursday evening on Twitter. Hogg, who became a prominent activist after the attack on his high school killed 17 people, had responded to news that fencing around the U.S. Capitol will become permanent following the Jan. 6 insurrection. Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has also promoted QAnon, had recently come under renewed criticism when reporters dug up her disturbing past social media posts indicating her support for executing officials such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. A video also re-emerged from before her time in office when she confronted Hogg in Washington, D.C., over his support for gun control. As she called after him on the street, she told him she was permitted to carry a concealed firearm. Boebert, who was tagged in Hogg's tweet, mocked him in an apparent reference to the video, for supposedly not being "tough": GOP Rep.

pie in the sky. yeah so out of touch. two years ago, you posted that facts were not in on climate change being caused by burning fossil fuels. you werent convinced. something along those lines. anyway, a discussion between an outright climate change denier, and an oil worker, on this subject, probably not going to be that useful.1 point

Of course key information from the article isn't included in what's just a feeble attempt to make NM look like a victim of the dreaded Democratic POTUS whose campaign promises included the very thing he wound up doing after taking office. None of this should come as a surprise to anyone who's paid attention since Biden won the nomination. And IIRC, Biden won 55% of the electorate back in November. Good on the new administration for not wanting federal lands to be ruined; let these oil companies ruin Texas instead. It seems like nobody in the Lone Star State, at least within the ranks of the GOP, seems to give a **** about the future, anyway. FWIW, David Blackmon is nothing more than an oil and gas cheerleader if his column history and bio info are any indication. See his most recent article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidblackmon/2021/01/28/biden-opens-new-fronts-in-his-war-on-us-oil-and-gas/?sh=2af2a4ea7d9b1 point -

This is a class move by the Bombers. It frees up Speller to potentially find himself a fit before FA hits and the shiny baubles start mesmerizing the eyes of the GMs around the league. There was little doubt we were going to be unable to keep the entire crew of NI OL around and Speller deserves a chance to play. At the same time we got him to go East instead of to a divisional rival, and some of our division rivals are hurting really bad for NI OL.1 point

Stafford is a very good QB who has played for a terrible franchise. No playoff wins since the 1991 season and like one win since 1957. He'd look good in SF or Indy.1 point -
I'll defend Stafford just like Watson..... the man has produced on some absolutely awful teams and some of the absolute worst coaches and gms ever seen in the league. I'm just not sure about his health at this point so I can't see the Lions getting a huge return for him. As a 49ers fan... I'll take Stafford no questions asked.1 point

Not close to over. "What we see most clearly today is the GOP moving quickly to align itself with the instigators of the January 6 insurrection and the coup plotters who laid the groundwork for it. This may seem like hyperbole, but it is not. Kevin McCarthy, who earlier this month was saying President Trump bore responsibility for instigating the assault, is now making his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago to meet with the disgraced former President and secure his blessing.
