    The weight of one vote is so infinitesimally small that the things a public figure says (and fails to say) on their platform is probably much more impactful on an election than who they actually vote for on election day. What would it matter where you put your one vote when you've used your voice to incrementally nudge a million other votes to one candidate.

    He also slaughtered most of the indigenous population of Hispaniola including women and children in his search for gold.

    Wow -- my new favorite politician!

    EDIT: XKCD guy (or whatever) computed the effect, and it's real! 6 microns of sea level reduction. :D Or... about the amount our seas are currently rising every 16 hours. But what a glorious 16 hours it would be!

    She'll do anything for attention. What a pathetic and dangerous elected official. The Republican Party has some true nut job radicals payed by our tax dollars doing everything BUT making America Great Again. What a crock of BS. We know what that hidden message means. Go back to the old days when people of color could be banned from their neighborhoods, and knew their place if they knew what was good for them.

    I very much like outside of the box thinking but I’m not sure if this is the kind of outside of the box thinking we need in our law makers.

    Utterly destroying the economy to get marginal environmental benefits is the progressives' bailiwick. Are you sure he's a Trumper?

    Later in life Columbus was so reviled that even the Spanish were disgusted. At one point the governor of Hispaniola left Columbus marooned in Jamaica.

    Just when I thought that impeached guy couldn't say anything as ridiculous and stupid as he did before he does it again. SMH

    One man, a loser, a compulsive liar, a narcissistic pig, a swindler, a cheater, a woman abuser, a tax evader, and a psychopath, has the GOP doing things or promising to do things that I never thought I would see in my lifetime. The cult is real.
