I'm amazed people here still manage to find reasons to excuse Trump's bullshit and outright lying instead of being concerned about it.

Unless they are unaware they are normalizing this kind of behavior.

He also demonstrated the sound they make and it sounded like a cat in a dryer. What a great a-brain.

Why don't the polluters invest some of their considerable assets in windmills then? Sounds like a better idea than using it to spread anti-science lies and elect corrupt politicians.
Cause it's a paradigm shift. Who knows when they (or if) would turn a profit. Right now, they get $$$ for every barrel of crude they come up with. I heard that crude is selling ~30% higher lately. If you ask me, our goose is cooked. Sea levels could rise 20 feet in the next 100 years. The Great Barrier Reef is in eco-collapse right now. The ice in the arctic will soon melt 100% in summer time (we're close to that already). Frozen tundra will release methane that will exacerbate our problems immensely. I would love few things more than dancing on Trump's grave. These boots are made for dancing! Wish that would solve our problems, but this is not the Wizard of Oz. By the time Trump is out of office we will have lost a lot of precious time. We can ill afford to turn our backs on the truth now.

They say people who fuck goats have big penises.
Only while the goat is sharing it with them. That's what people are saying anyway. As far as the goat/pcgeek thing goes, stories are popping up all over the thread about it. People are talking about it. Where there's smoke, there's probably a donut pillow on pcgeek's chair.

In all fairness what he said was:

And they say the noise causes cancer.”

I don't know who "They" are, but from the wording he heard it from someone else.

I don't believe or think that noise causes cancer.

Unless you are in California where everything is known to cause cancer. /s
So you're saying we should track down the oranges of the comment?

Quick, can we put up a million windmills in New York City?

A way better investment than the wall!

Whats amusing is that wind farms are an economic lifeline for rural America and of course moron has no idea. Commodity prices have been in the toilet and the great yam's trade wars have steadily closed off export markets farmers used to rely on. Steady payments from leases to wind turbines are gold for landowners and localities that are really strapped for tax money to support schools and other things. They also provide a fair number of jobs both for construction and upkeep/management.

They say pcgeek11 has sex with goats. In all fairness I am not this saying but “they” are.

As rhetorical devices “they say” and “many people are talking about it” are Trump’s license to say whatever he wants. This is how the man lies and knows he is lying when he says it. There is no fairness to be had here.

that's not fair. If pcgeek takes the time to appreciate your argument, we'll top seeing all those entertaining posts from him where he desperately tries to defend every fucking idiotic thing Trump does or says.

I had this thought yesterday that DeBlasio should just declare imminent domain for some reason, bulldoze all the property on the blocks that surround Trump tower, and stick giant Windmills in those spaces. ....it wouldn't work of course, but it would be amusing.

It does not really matter if he says 'they say' or any other type of verbal dodge. By repeating the thing that 'they say' he is endorsing it, and then it is actually 'I say'.

He always says "they say" or "people are saying" before he pulls some baseless crap out of his ass.

again, that isn't fair. pcgeek really enjoys being one of the few, the stupid, the easily-duped to fall for this same damn fallacy over and over again. please don't take this away from him!

"And they say the noise causes cancer. You told me that one okay"

Google is flooded with today's news. So I cannot track where this !@#$ came from. Whose BS did the President source? I'd like to know who our esteemed turd is listening to. That'd help prepare us for whatever else is rattling around in his empty head.

It was in his speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual spring dinner on Tuesday. He also said in it that he was sure "someone’s gonna leak this whole damn speech to the media" at his speech that was being covered live on C-SPAN.

I didn't defend anything. Only pointed out what he actually said.
