Ron Desantis, won 18% of the black femal vote.

So his opponent won 80%? Is this supposed to mean something?

Your intellectual high ground shtick falls to pieces when you make willfully ignorant posts like this.

let’s all remember that Democrats are the ones who are more likely to break ties over politics.

maybe dial it back a little in social/family situations...it might just be you.

It’s basic math. It’s even in Nausi’s source reference.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/mtonews.com/.amp/gilliam-lost-because-black-women-voted-for-desantis-poll

Quote:
While Gillum received 92% of the vote from Black men - he only received 82% of the vote of Black women. And surprisingly DeSantis - who ran a campaign that many are calling "racist" - received nearly 20% of the Black female vote.

?

I think you completely missed the point of my post.

Complete with record breaking cold temperatures here in these parts. I'll take any excuse I can get to not leave the house on a 4-day weekend.

Record cold in Syracuse, NY and the rest of my area. We should be in the upper 40's low 50's and we got 1.5 foot of snow on ground.

That would be nice. Set another all time record low in Syracuse NY today. It was -1f with a windchill of -11. I'd love some of that global warming as we should be in upper 40's low 50's.

Its pretty seasonally average here.

Mornings 25 - 34f, a few days in the upper 40s mostly 40ish though.

Jet stream oscillations, Its up here, down in the midwest and east.

I found three articles on the subject, fairly technical though.

That's fine, why let actual measurements get in the way of a good power grab. They will just use the data from April to October to calculate out the yearly average. November to March will just be a composite value calculated from the other months. Not shitting they do stuff like this, "altering" the data upwards every year, and when that doesn't work they'll go into the historical record and alter the data from decades past.

With that much data "alternations" and "hiding the decline" going on, we can't trust that institution to be honest. That is what happens when politics gets involved with science, you get Soviet Science.

But how much hardship are you willing to suffer? Are you ready to live like the amish? No electricity, no running water, no heat no air conditioning? How much comfort are you willing to personally give up for the betterment of future generations?

Because if you haven't given those things up already you don't give a real big ***

Trump Foundation lawsuit: New York state judge rejects Trump claim that he can't be sued because he is president
CNBC
Quote:
A New York Supreme Court judge on Friday denied a request from President Donald Trump and his family members to dismiss a lawsuit against them and the Trump Foundation.

In her ruling, Justice Saliann Scarpulla shot down an argument from the Trump family's attorneys that the case should be dismissed because the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution suggests "a sitting president may not be sued."

The suit from New York state Attorney General Barbara Underwood alleges that the charitable foundation violated state and federal laws for "more than a decade."

This is probably the only true statement you've made in that whole post!

it's by far and by a WIDE margin the truest. But please, don't change the subject, I am dying to know what you have done to stop global climate whatever they are calling it this week... and why hasn't it worked yet?

As for me....

I live in small town rural America. There is no local shopping more than 2 miles from me. For non local I try to use the interwebs. Downside: I amn't on a railhead so recycling is difficult.

My electricity is ALL renewable, a PUD that owns parts of several hydro dams. They are looking at buying into wind but they needn't yet. Second lowest electrical rates in the whole damn country which makes us attractive to bitcoin miners who will get a NASTY surcharge.

Every vehicle I buy has payed of its carbon deficit long before I buy it.

I saw an article in Scientific American over 10 years ago that traced anthropocentric global warming to over 10K years BCE. Way back then from slash and burn agriculture which is still going on today.

One person with slash and burn agriculture can do more damage than I can ever restore.

It was -25C this morning here, winter is coming.

It is not that I don't think the climate is changing it's that I don't care.
