Babylon bee . The pleasant hurricane season Florida is having is directly caused by global warming, and we are all going to die as a result," said protester Byron Bridges. "America must mandate the use of electric cars immediately — but not Teslas https://babylonbee.com/news/climate-activists-blame-global-warming-for-zero-hurricanes-forming-in-atlantic-this-year A satirical article also confirms that after USAID was abolished there has been no hurricane. No 2025 Landfalls: The entire 2025 Atlantic hurricane season concluded without a single hurricane making landfall on the continental United States.The 2026 Season So Far: As of mid-September, no hurricanes have made U.S. landfall, though a few weaker tropical storms (like Arthur and Bertha) have hit the Gulf Coast. |

When I say always strive to do the right thing,this is what I mean. A non-citizen from Nigeria has been arrested and charged by the DOJ for illegally voting in multiple US elections including in the 2024 Presidential election and the 2022 midterms. The DOJ says that 56-year-old Gladys Adaeze Okafor lied while registering to vote, claiming to be a U.S. citizen multiple times. Okafor is a green-card holder, but she has not applied for citizenship and is not allowed to vote.” Prosecutors say she first registered to vote in July 2022 and checked the citizen box claiming she was a U.S. citizen, and she signed under penalty of perjury However, she did not have to prove anything. She then voted in the November 2022 midterm elections. #elections In 2023 she submitted a second registration form and again swore she was a citizen. She later voted in the 2024 presidential primary election and the election in November. According to the DOJ she admitted last week to HSI agents that she voted in 2024. At 56 years one should be making final touches for retirement . She knew it was illegal and a federal crime . Whether she hated or loved democrats or Republicans that much, she didn't have to break the law. Her vote was of no financial benefit to her at all. These are kinds of decisions one doesn't need to go to school to learn. Whom will she nlame if she is deported.

Democrats have gone full socialist. Poll on who supports the DSA Fifty-nine percent of Democrats said “yes,” while just 30 percent said “no.” Two percent of Republicans said “yes,” while 96 percent of Republicans said “no.” Among independents, 22 percent said “yes,” and 70 percent said “no. https://thefederalist.com/2026/09/17/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-moderate-democrat-anymore/ A coalition in Congress that supports capitalism and opposes socialism & communism has been signed by a massive TEN Democrats. Bartender AOC is among the top 2028 Presidential hopefuls. Democrats lie about their stand during campaigns . Talarico has been caught saying he'll tone down until after elections. Democrat supporters of nairaland are on record extolling the benefits of socialism. |

No more war on coal https://cowboystatedaily.com/2026/09/14/blockbuster-epa-move-gets-rid-of-biden-era-limits-on-power-plant-emissions/ In 2024 EPA enacted regulations to coal power plants demanding reduction of Carbon emissions. Bottom line. install expensive carbon capture systems or better still just shut down. EPA decisions then were made by liberals inculcated in the climate change religion. China has been commissioning an average of 50 new coal plants every year making it's energy cheaper. Add low wages plus a vast population of educated workforce and it becomes clear that liberals want the west reduced to services dependent economies. Europe esp Germany also went to war and shut down clean nuclear power plants . The EU has a crazy electricity charging system where electricity prices are auctioned to the lowest bidder. Electric energy is treated as a trade commodity. |

bemeruca:This post. Let's leave aside how insane it is that someone is so insecure in their command of logic and the English language that they have to feed their posts through AI. If you don't feel how you write can convey your thoughts on a subject, maybe you shouldn't be trying to convey your thoughts on that subject. But even more insane, is even with the use of AI, the post is a poorly written muddled mess of logic and reasoning. Your argument breaks down to: Even with written laws, people will do things that endanger other people. So, government regulations don't work. So, we shouldn't write laws because if we let them self-regulate, they won't do what endangers people. Because: People will only not to things to not endanger other people out of some altruistic reason when they are allowed to self regulate But those same people won't do it for altruistic reasons when they are forced to regulate. Common sense right? Yes, only to people who use their heads as soccer balls. |

Just leaving this here. Need the same energy from Republicans who went after Biden.

IjeBos:Dude why are you so slow? I have showed how your pure water argument is against you, and you move to the next diarrhea of thoughts. Your argument shows that regulations are not enough to stop someone from doing the thing. Like I said in my last post, government will regulate, they already have some, but if you are afraid what you are building will kill us all, STOP BUILDING IT. this is so basic and it bugs my mind how you can't get it. IjeBos:My point has nothing to do with altruism. These AI companies are the ones telling you and me that what they are building could become an existential threat. So if the developers reach a point where they believe their next step could kill everybody, thry do not need the government to force them to stop taking that step. Regulations can be there, but again, your NAFDAC pure water argument shows that it is not enough. Open AI and Anthropic are always trying to 1up each other. No one knows what their RnD department is working on. If it escapes, the government will know when its too late. |

IjeBos:The cognitive dissonance from you who just voted Ed Markey who would be 86 when his term ends Where did you bury your head when Diane Feinstein was sick and died in office at 90yrs

| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by IjeBos(m): 5:32pm On Sep 17 |
bemeruca:I can't. This whole thing reads like someone who can't really speak general English while trying to use American English idioms he doesn't understand at the same time. I can't. He said it's not about altruism but doesn't seem to even know the meaning of the word. Poor child, altruism is exactly what self regulating out of concern for the harm what you are working on can impart on others when there is no law to worry about to get you in trouble if those harms do arise. altruism: selfless concern for the well-being of others, without care for one's own interests; unselfishness: "some may choose to work with vulnerable elderly people out of altruism" But I'm out. Reading your poor AI written posts is testing my patience, Maybe bayelsaowei can engage you because he has more patience. |

raumdeuter:Do you even know what cognitive dissonance means? Let me help you. "cognitive dissonance" a state of mental discomfort that occurs when a person holds beliefs or opinions that are inconsistent, or that conflict with an aspect of their behavior: So show me my inonsistent believes. 1.) Show me where Ed Markey looks or is behaving as incapacitated as Mitch McConnell 2.) Show me where I spoke out positively about Diane Feinstein. In fact I thought she should resign and I think they should have changed the law so there is a trigger to force people in that situation to resign. Now back to that word cognitive dissonance you don't seem to understand. There are example after example of you and Republicans still trashing Biden while silent about McConnel, a situation a hundred times worse than Biden. That is the definition of cognitive dissonance. You are the definition of cognitive dissonance. You and your acolyte, junior less-old troll, should really understand the words you are trying to use/argue with. |

IjeBos:You are concerned about McConnell who is ill due to old age, but comfortable voting for a Senator who will be 86 in office. That is cognitive dissonance a.k.a hypocrisy McConnell will be leaving at the end of his term and all Republicans are on board with that. You on the other hand voted for Biden in the primaries and was defending him until Trump wrecked him in the debate After the disastrous debate you were still on record giving asinine excuses like he was sick, he had jetlag that is cognitive dissonance |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by bemeruca: 5:58pm On Sep 17 |
IjeBos:You looked up the definition of altruim and still miss my point. Again, my point has nothing to do with ALTRUISM. They are acting in their own interest and using fear mongering to get to where they want to be (monopoly and control). Quoting the dictionary doesn't cut this one for you. Altruism is selfless concern for others, "without care for one's own interests," as per your definition. A company holding off because it thinks its next model could bring Skynet's Terminator robnots is not a selfless act; they themselves cease to exist in that scenario too. That's self-preservation, not altruism. You can define Love Machine very well; you should stick to your expertise. You don't get to redefine my point and then mock me for not knowing English 😂😂😂. You still haven't touched the actual point. You keep making points I never made and talk about AI. I am sure an AI should know altruism very well. It's good to know you don't believe some of the things you say. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by IjeBos(m): 6:10pm On Sep 17 |
raumdeuter:I am comfortable with people who are clearly not incapacitated and able to do their jobs. Is the Senator I voted for incapacitated? McConnell looks incapacitated. When the governor of his state asked questions, his staff hid he was incapacitated. And pretended he was functional. So, it begs the question who is the Senator here. Who is casting votes and making policy, it's clearly no McConnell It was clear Biden was sick during the debate. Biden gave TV interviews post debate where he didn't look incapacitated. I didn't want Bident to run again, but again he finished his term and was not incapacitated. You have 0 values or believs. Which is clear at how you went after Biden but are quiet about McConnell. What you believe changes minute by minute based on how you think it benefits you. |

IjeBos:You didn't want Biden to run again, but you were on this pages defending an supporting him. Even after he showed that he was mentally deficient in the debate, you still cooked up excuses for him That shows you are okay with politician sickness and age related incapacitation as long as they are democrats, you only raw the lie when they are not democrats. Lying or hypocrisy. Or both? Must explain why you voted a man that would be 86yrs old in power It wasnt just at campaign, it was at multiple public functions, if he wasnt walking into the bush in Europe, he was walking into the jungle in South America, or frozen at a black Juneteenth event Yet you still defended him. Now complaining about McConnel, That is hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance

IjeBos:🤣🤣😃😅😅😅 Suddenly the message is: Iran must not possess nuclear capabilities. So Americans should exercise patience while the President and his cronies buy defense and oil/gas stocks. And guess what? His minions have totally forgotten about the tweet of their god prior to the elections.. 🤣🤣🤣 |

People in this thread like Bemeruca are like. Drugs shouldn't be regulated; we should just let Drug companies self-regulate. Afterall we have regulations and some drug companies still do bad things. They don't work. Food shouldn't be regulated; we should let Food producers self-regulate. Afterall, we have food regulations and still some food producers do bad things. They don't work. Nuclear power plants shouldn't be regulated; we should let them self-regulate. Afterall some Nuclear power plants have disposed of waste improperly in the past. So regulations don't work so why have them. Just the most asinine of things. |

raumdeuter:Does your brain work? How old is Trump? DId you not vote for the oldest elected President after talking about Biden being old? You too old to be acting like a troll. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by bayelsaowei(m): 6:28pm On Sep 17 |
IjeBos:Republicans complaining? Wow.. I doubt our in house worshippers would agree with the this republican. They claim Trumps MO of dragging/dehumanizing/Killing of both legal and undocumented immigrants is wholesome. |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by raumdeuter: 6:40pm On Sep 17 |
IjeBos:You care about Trumps age but not Biden age who you voted and was older than Trump. That is the hypocrisy and cognitive disonance How old is Markey you voted for vs his opponent |
| Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by bemeruca: 6:46pm On Sep 17 |
IjeBos:Jesus, this is a cow level reasoning 😂🐮🐮 He has moved from pure water to nuclear power plants and food, making arguments I did not make or imply 😂😂 Non of what you mentioned has the ability to perform logic, or develop sentient capabilities like they claim. You are too slow to be discussing this. Goodlawd |
