#1192Donald Trump faced a tough crowd last night in Iowa City, leaving the stage early after constant boos, whistles, and even tomatoes thrown by protesters.
The tomatoes were thrown after the billionaire Republican front-runner called Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders a communist, according to Daily Iowan reporter Brent Griffiths.

#1194Donald Trump faced a tough crowd last night in Iowa City, leaving the stage early after constant boos, whistles, and even tomatoes thrown by protesters.
The tomatoes were thrown after the billionaire Republican front-runner called Vermont U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders a communist, according to Daily Iowan reporter Brent Griffiths.
http://usuncut.com/politics/man-thro...-donald-trump/
In a news release, officials said Andrew Joseph Alemao, 28, was observed throwing two tomatoes at Trump, the real estate mogul and front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.
Alemao has been charged with disorderly conduct, a simple misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $625 or 30 days in prison. He is currently being held in the Johnson County Jail.
He was taken into custody by the Secret Service and the UIPD after throwing the tomatoes, the release said.
Trump was in Iowa City less than a week before the Iowa caucuses. He drew more than 1,000 people to his rally in the UI Field House, including a number of protesters who repeatedly interrupted the event.

#1195Coming from someone who apparently thinks they know more about the effect of CO2 on climate than 90%+ of international climate scientists, it's rather ironic that you would tell someone else that they think they are always right. Some people take the advice of the vast majority of experts in the field rather than politicians and news pundits.Comment -

If the consensus was really only 81%, would it make you feel better? Would it make you right? There is no denying that it is the overwhelming consensus.Comment -

#1199nothing will convince many of you about this serious problem, the scientific evidence doesn't matter, the conclusions made by numerous scientific agencies including nasa and others doesn't matter. but some of even the R are singing a different tune, I believe I recently read that 57% of R now accept the science.
what I wonder if it gets so bad that island nations are under water, and florida and maybe even NYC are under water, I wonder then if you might say hmmm maybe something to this thing. but if you investigate you will find so much unbelievable proof it is almost ridiculous.
I still have hope that our technology and our ability to adapt will win over, but if not our kids and grandkids are going to have some serious problems.Comment -

Where Jonas Was the All-Time Heaviest Snowstorm
Jonas was the single biggest snowstorm on record for at least six locations in the East:
- Allentown, Pennsylvania: 31.9 inches Jan. 22-23, 2016 crushed the Jan. 7-9, 1996 blizzard total of 25.9 inches.
- Baltimore-Washington International Airport, Maryland (BWI): 29.2 inches Jan 22-23, 2016 beat the President's Day II storm of Feb. 16-18, 2003. Records date back to 1892.
- Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: 30.2 inches Jan. 22-23, 2016 tops 25 inches Feb. 11-12, 1983. Records date back to 1888.
- New York - LaGuardia Airport: 27.9 inches Jan. 23, 2016 beats the previous record snowstorm of 25.4 inches Feb. 11-12, 2006. Records date back to 1945.
- New York - JFK Airport: 30.5 inches Jan. 23, 2016 beats the previous record snowstorm of 26 inches in the President's Day II storm of Feb. 16-18, 2003.
- Newark, New Jersey: 27.9 inches Jan. 22-23, 2016 surpassed the Jan. 7-8, 1996 blizzard total of 27.8 inches. Records date back to 1893.
Jonas also ranked high among the biggest snowstorms on record in the following locations, but fell short of the record.
- New York City's Central Park: Jonas dumped 26.8 inches of snow on Central Park where records date back to 1869. This was just shy of the record snowstorm of 26.9 inches set Feb. 11-12, 2006.
- Washington, D.C.: The storm total of 17.8 inches at Reagan-National Airport tied Feb. 5-6, 2010 as the fourth heaviest snowstorm dating to 1884.
- Philadelphia: A storm total of 22.4 inches was recorded in Jonas, ranking as the fourth heaviest snowstorm. This is also equal to the amount of snow Phildelphia averages during the course of an entire season.

#1204It's really sad how ignorant people are on socialism. Do you really think the COMMUNIST Chinese moved to a capitalist system because socialist style economy was better?
Capitalism has raised living standards of hundreds of millions, yes hundreds of millions of Chinese. They eat at Pizza Hut and KFC when they used to starve to death.
The ignorant are the loudest..that's how you have Trump, Hitlery, and Sanders. I do admire Sanders honesty, but his policies are proven failures.Comment -

Socilism by definitin means more government control. Gambling is a no no wast of resources, if you can afford to gamble you can afford to pay higher taxes to help the less fortunate, and focking monkeys would land you on a commune farm where you'd end up starving to death..Comment -

I do believe government plays a role in our lives. A limited one. Protect the people and that includes the basic health care services, help the needy and help create an environment for people to live a good life. All people, not just those with lots of money. Government should be a part time gig.
That's my 2 cents worth.Last edited by DwightShrute; 01-27-16, 06:43 PM.Comment -

Open your eyes, it's real but for the next 100 years it's 1.5 degrees according to the latest U.N. report, with negligible effects. There is no near and present danger. All you do is scare people into giving up their individual rights so the government has more power, and you keep those in developing countries poor since they can't build industry.
Even worse, you export industries here because they can't afford the regulation, and move to poor countries that don't care about the environment. Then you get MORE pollution overall. Regulations have consequences, it's better to keep polluting industries in the U.S. with regulations they can afford than send them to countries where they are free to pollute as much as they want.Comment -

And FYI I hate the inequality of capitalism right now in the U.S., however the current system grows the pie overall even for those on the lowest end of the economic food chain. Socialism shrinks the pie, but keeps everyone equally poor. I'm referring to hardcore socialism where governments set prices and wages to keep things "fair". Life isn't fair which is why it doesn't work.
Anyway my 2 cents, just scares me seeing a proclaimed socialist that spent his honeymoon in the old Communist Soviet Union having such a large following. It' be nice if he beat out Hitlery, and there was no Trump but right now it's all FUBAR. I know a lot of people like Trump, I want to but he's too much of a clown, and by that he contradicts himself all the time and makes no sense. not the guy I want to give control of nuclear weapons lol.Comment -

How exactly is developing green technology giving the government more power? Sensible regulations cannot be agreed upon on a global scale? Please explain how one currently "exports" automobiles running on the highway and the electricity generated on the electrical grid.Comment -

#1213Canada has socialist political parties, and some socialist policies like single payer healthcare (which by the way is shitty, many really ill people on waiting lists come to the U.S. to get treatment and pay cash) but the economy is capitalist. they don't redistribute wealth to make sure there's equality.

Trump isn't perfect by no means. He's not a smooth politician like the others. That's his appeal at the same time. He has gotten much better and looks presidential in the debates and rallies. He seems more real to me than the typical politician who is about as phony as one can be. I guess the choice comes down to whether you wanna elect the same old politician who tells you nicely all the promises you wanna hear and then proceeds to break them all once elected OR try someone different, like a successful billionaire deal maker.Last edited by DwightShrute; 01-27-16, 07:00 PM.Comment -

#1215I've been hearing the same crap since the 70's when I was a kid, and supposed to freeze to death in 10-15 years. The science was "settled" then, so please excuse me when I politely say it's a bunch of hogwash. 10 years from now, the science will be telling you something else, and it will be "settled" again. Hang round for a couple of more decades. You'll see what I mean.Comment -

#1219Apples and oranges, pal. We've know the world has been round for over 500 years. This type of "science" is still in its infancy by comparison. We're getting a new story every 10 years as to what is happening, and what will happen. No consistency while the Earth has stayed round for 5 centuries.Comment -
