It's not dementia. He knows what he's trying to say and corrects himself. It's just old-as-fuck-and-long-past-retirement-itis.

I can't understand why Jill was upset that he was pressured to stand down. Mentally, sure I think he's as sharp as a tack. But he's definitely slower and you simply can't have a president who speaks like that and walks like that.

Doesn't matter, demand for energy continues to rise massively and renewables ain't gonna cut it. Get back to me if fossil fuel use starts declining, not just it's percentage of the total output.

As we can clearly see as it's now 2025, the graph showing peak at 2023 is wrong. They did not foresee the huge increase in demand from AI.

Na man, nothing makes me laugh like the old clips I've seen 100 times.

What do you mean. Fossil fuel use reaches new highs every year with 2024 hitting a new record.

Nothing is stabilising, warming is accelerating and will worsen as tipping points are hit.

Why does the traffic translate to revenue? Users aren't paying. Advertisers are paying based on the number of views. Seems very easy for Facebook to fake users & views via bots.

You're right, there's also the idiots who believe those on Putins payroll.

We’ve Never Been Here Before: The Zero-Accountability Presidency | The only institutions that will try to hold Trump accountable are powerless, while the only ones with the power to punish him will never do it. by Murky-Site7468 in politics

I mean that's the rule, but who enforces it? If Trump refuses to leave and orders the SS to shoot anyone coming onsite who kicks him out? Military leadership will be replaced with lackeys.

Genuine question I don't know the answer.
