Stop the lying, misleading propaganda Goebbels.

Repubs did not add additional justices as FDR tried to, ... and Schumer has promised he will under a Biden/Harris dictatorship.

Then it should be quite easy for you to offer some kind of proof (something you never have) on the matter.

As to "packing the Court", your Repugnant ones are doing that in the lower Courts where the term is for life, and the "justices" (some of whom have never been in a Courtroom, others are not judges, or qualified according to the ABA), etc.

Give it up dickhead, as usual your ass is lying. Then too, remember the right wing lie, "elections have consequences".

not for introducing legislation -like ramming thru the unpopular Green New Deal

it will destroy our energy sector, cause massive layoffs, reduce our heating supplies to what Germany now uses
(wood pellets) and rely solely on charging stations that will be vandalized

More evidence your "sources" are full of shit:

BTW, manufacturing wood pellets is a Europe thing, and Germany is No. 1.

I don't think so it's growing now probably because of black lives matter it seems like the pendulum is swinging.

What it seems like from the left is they want the Republican party from 20 years ago. When they could oppose the religion and they could oppose the stance on same-sex marriage now most conservatives don't care. That's why we see people fighting for this bizarre idea of trans equality as if trans people were treated unequally any different than like a gay person would have been.

Filling seats is NOT court packing, you lying piece of shit.

Court Packing is increasing the number of Justices on the Scotus. FDR tried to pack the courts. He attempted to increase it from 9 to 15.

Everyone knows this. Why don't you? :palm:

U.S. Pellet Plants

They’ve gone up a dollar/40# bag since last season lol.

I think presently, pellets are in large part made of saw dust by-product from the wood flooring industry. But if demand continues to the rise they’ll probably start harvesting trees for it.

There are some problems with them which might keep the demand down. One is good luck finding a repairman if it goes down—and they do. It’s not like where you can get a heating/cooling guy to come out within a hours. They have several fail-safes on them and if any one of them goes on the blink the thing will shut itself down.

I actually enjoy tinkering with crap [especially now that I’m retired lol] and I’m more or less handy so it’s not a problem with me. I replaced the auger motor and vacuum switch on mine just last week.

People whose tool kit is comprised of a screw driver and hammer might want to stay away from them.

You're an idiot. Why would leftist rioters in Australia care about George Floyd in America?

They had it all ready to go and were just waiting on a semi-suitable catalyst. It was organized worldwide, you dumbfuck.

IMO, George Floyd should have hanged years ago for violent robbery.

Thank you, shithead. Comments like yours help, if just a little, to keep Trumpism in its natural intellectual cesspool.

americans dont do geography. There are a couple from Syria and Dubai that come to the pool.
I asked the guy what part of Syria he was from "near Lebanon" he said. I asked him if he meant Damascus.

He was amazed I had ANY clues about ME geography - this after almost 10 years of Civil War there,
and most Americans dont even know Damascus

It is not just geography that Americans dont know, it is any understanding of the world at all. I routinely amaze people with my understanding given that I am an American....I routinely rate in the 1%!

you are around my age. I'm 65 so I well remember a world without the internet.
If I wanted to find out abut the world I had to go to the library. I used to read international papers etc.
Plus I learned about SE Asia and China from being around during Mao and Vietnam.

But today you can literally look at anything on the net without doing more then using your thumb
Yet Americans are more parochial then ever....beats me

Sadly, forests are now strip mined. It used to be that loggers left crooked trees, under sized trees, broken limbs behind. Now they take everything.

I was on call as the handy man for some rental properties bro and I used to own and I’ll never do it again lol.

I don’t smell anything with mine. Smokes a lot less than a wood fire too.

I was born 1962....I remember the world where if you wanted to learn but did not have a teacher you needed to really work at making that work. I did not have the internet till 1997 but once I did I instantly knew what to do with it....I knew how to find out what I wanted to know....I had a really good BS detector.

What? You know about China? When I talk about how The New Chinese Empire is coming to kick America's ass and how this has been in the plans since roughly 1975 do you have any idea what I am talking about?

If so you are about the only one.

Taking everything is actually good, imo.

Bro and I co-own wooded acreage here in the hillbilly state and 20 ish years ago we had it timbered and you would hardly know it now. They harvested the mature hardwood butt logs and left the tops of the trees just laying there.

So for the next two seasons we finished up the tops and sold it as fire wood. Talk about a hard earned buck lol. But we didn’t want the tops laying there forever and it’s a bit of a forest fire hazard so yeah.

I would think just the logging industry could generate enough wood scrap to provide a fair supply of pellets.

Well, you weren't operating on an industrial scale.

I think it's good to leave behind trees that are not good for lumber. Leaves something for the forest critters, and stuff to decompose and return nutrients to the soil.

The pellet industry has grown to such a large scale, with industrial pellet power plant demand, that scrap can no longer meet the demand.

Did you know that Amazon Rain forest soil is pretty much the worst there is? I did not know this till I started to pay attention to Bret and Heather.

Yes, it is extremely thin, less than 12 inches IIRC. So much of the Amazon forest nutrients are contained in the living trees, that harvesting them one time, pretty much ensures that the forest will never regrow in that area.
