Last Notes npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster It is people like you that have pushed the Kremlin's narrative that the USA has not done enough for the Ukrainians despite all that we have done that will be responsible for our next Congress curtailing aid to Ukraine. I just pray that Europeans are willing to step forward to fill the gap and that Ukrainians will finally find the courage to put on their country's uniforms. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Well, splendid Wordle 1,118 4/6* π¨β¬β¬π¨β¬ β¬π¨π¨π¨β¬ π©π©β¬β¬π© π©π©π©π©π© npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Al Franken is a podcaster while Matt Gaetz is still getting a congressman's salary. Both sides are not the same. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I would recommend not blocking the fascists and to go there periodically to see who the fascists are on #Mastodon by checking out their followers and boosters. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster So, you've just proved that you are highly susceptible to #FakeNews and unable to adjudge any sort of science by calling a "correspondence" a "study" so I hope you'll restrict yourself from speaking on issues you have no clues about. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Excellent example of how forces trying to take down democracy like the #GenocideJoe crew here in the U.S. and Qatar's Al Jazeera are using fake news: #Gaza #FakeNews https://assortedflotsam.com/@NewsBot/112750917473435926 npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Splendid as it says on Wordle 1,101 4/6* β¬β¬β¬β¬π¨ π©π©β¬β¬π© π©π©β¬π©π© π©π©π©π©π© npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Democrats majority in the Senate is not large enough to get subpoenas this Congress because of health issues and legal cases sadly. Hopefully, Americans will remedy that situation this fall. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Your opinion leads for you to support the disruptive behavior like blocking traffic or vandalize cultural monuments so that people going to work cuss at climate activists. It's my opinion that those types of actions do not result in more climate action. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I've seen a lot more people condemning these type of actions than I've seen that actions like this generate support for climate action. Personally, I think it is better to generate support than to make enemies. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/645/987/401/558/774/original/7ba056aa75718847.mp4 npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster One person, Elon Musk, has emitted more CO2 on one flight than many people will emit in a lifetime. If we can just get the wealthy to decarbonize quickly because they can afford it that will give all the rest of us a lot more time to do it as we can manage to find ways to pay for solar, batteries, and EVs. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I don't know how I missed this guy this long into the full-scale invasion, but I'm glad I stumbled into him. I was looking for the The Times Radio interview of the newly knighted Bill Browder which didn't seem to be posted yet, but this was great. I'm glad because this expert takes my approach towards Western support for #Ukraine which is don't second guess the people with better info than you that have to make choices with potential horrible outcomes. https://youtu.be/QLncvexyDAI npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Hopefully not many privileged Americans will abandon America if Putin manages to install Trump as POTUS again, but we survived despite not all Americans helping us to defend the Union against the confederacy so it will probably work out. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Your choice on what angle you want to highlight for sure. I've chosen to support democracy the best I can which I think is better for human rights in the long run. In the fog of war and in the midst of an international disinformation campaign of hybrid warfare it seems to me that our best hope for getting climate action is to support democracy and Democrats. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Your assertion might be true for this operation. Since the hostages were recovered safely I'm not in a position to assert that I know better than the experts. I worry that the timing of this operation was more political than military because of Benny Gantz's threat to leave coalition. You choose to attack U.S. allies. I do not at this point of the war we are in. What year did you study under John Spencer that has made you such an expert on urban warfare? https://www.algemeiner.com/2024/02/01/west-point-urban-warfare-expert-idf-implemented-more-measures-to-prevent-civilian-casualties-than-any-other-military-in-history/ npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster You state that like Hamas has respect for innocent civilians though π’ npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster That was tricky Wordle 1,085 5/6* β¬β¬β¬β¬π© β¬β¬β¬β¬π© π¨π¨β¬β¬π© β¬π©π¨π¨π© π©π©π©π©π© npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Jimmy Fallon must have seen our #HashtagGames posts https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/541/825/403/341/403/original/c1c5aca1022f5397.mp4 npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I Fought The Law And The Law Won #TrumpGuiltyASongOrPoem #HashTagGames https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/533/053/815/526/104/original/64961f9995952c86.png npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Okay, the trial is now over. Can we please talk about some of the other damn issues that we face. Have you heard about Erik Prince's WhatsApp messages to Nazis that just broke today? https://newrepublic.com/article/182008/erik-prince-secret-global-group-chat-off-leash npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Anyone supporting Hamas after what they have done does not support the Palestinians that's for sure. Prior to Israel's defensive strike, Hamas had fired eight rockets from what should be a safe "people's camp" in Rafah towards Tel Aviv - the first long-range attacks on the central Israeli city since January. The strike in Tal al-Sultan appears to have successfully eliminated two Hamas leaders making the world a safer place. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster The leader of an attempted coup on Sunday in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been killed and some 50 people including three American citizens arrested. U.S. Ambassador Lucy Tamlyn said in a post on social media that she was "very concerned" by reports that American citizens had allegedly been involved in the events. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I'm not doing anything. I just posted some things about nuclear and Germany's decarbonization efforts showing that we don't need more nuclear which is why I'm opposed to it, but it's fine that you are among those that support it. We don't have to agree on everything. I sure didn't mean it to look like I was attacking your position. The IRA supports nuclear too so it's not like the industry is under threat. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster @npub1z2fβ¦nls5 It's not true. Germany is decarbonizing and their early investment in solar and wind are what made the prices for them as inexpensive as they are today. "The analysis, by the Berlin-based thinktank Agora Energiewende, shows that emissions in Germany dropped to 673m tonnes (Mt) last year, 46% below 1990 levels and beating the governmentβs 2023 climate goal of 722Mt" npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster What I find frustrating with the nuclear lobbyists is how many conspiracy theories of the fossil fuel industry that they share about solar and wind like this one: "Banking on decarbonising with wind and solar power alone is an experiment we shouldnβt be prepared to take - and one that has failed in Germany, with great cost to citizens and the country." It is also important to keep nuclear's water use in mind too imo. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/446/120/540/209/338/original/5f01da882e416c3c.png npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I hope that you're coming to realize that the good ones, and don't think for a second that Roger Stone is not good at the evil games he plays in politics, post these obvious lies just to trigger their opponents so that their opponents will help them to reach more people. Roger Stone is already notorious and knows his reputation can't be tarnished anymore after what he's done so now he just wants more publicity. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/430/752/093/722/250/original/3a49907d8cfee0d5.png npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I've started trying to inform people that if they are not actively campaigning trying to get Joe Biden reelected than they are climate science deniers. He's decarbonizing the largest economy in the world and it's not a moment too soon. We don't have the room left in our carbon budget for us to be safe under another Republican administration at this crucial inflection point. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster No, I'm saying that the rights of one population should not take away the rights of another in terms of the tent cities that are springing up. I wouldn't like it if a bunch of people dressed up in white robes came and camped out on any of the campuses I attended. There are amendments and laws protecting free speech. There are also laws against private individuals and groups from commandeering public squares and private spaces. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster I didn't reply asserting anything of the sort towards the particular protest of our commander-in-chief that you attended. If they didn't break any laws and didn't have their protest broken up than cool. I'd like to ask what stories from history do these protesters base their belief upon that having angry mobs of a minority of the population drive military decisions is good policy to protect democracies from authoritarian ideologies? npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Glad to hear, but anecdotes are nothing if not cherry-picked data. Put that aside though, did you hear the police ask for the demonstrators to disperse or to leave private property before they started trying to follow the orders that they had? npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Here's a video of some of these "peaceful" protesters calling for "Death to America" that you're siding with. Look, I know that we need police reform just like I know that we need gun safety reform, but I don't expect for police to put themselves in danger. They have families too. You may not to consider these protests against our commander-in-chief the same as what happened on #J6 but I guarantee that I'm not the only one that does. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/344/385/587/864/900/original/a368ce41bc09726f.mp4 npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster You are not being honest as you call me dishonest, but yes my protests have been successful towards beginning the decarbonization of the major economies. #J6 as described to public: https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/344/340/249/949/628/original/932bbf1cc59aeccc.png npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster One thing that I wish that more people would accept is that protesting is fine, but if you break laws, like putting paint on paintings in museums, shutting down traffic, or trespassing than the state has a responsibility to take steps to protect everyone else's rights as well. For example, I was not arrested for this because I kept the kids on the sidewalks Are the cops always in the right? Of course not, but protesters are not always in the right either eg #J6 https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/343/801/173/162/878/original/1f4a68ae79089216.jpg npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Yeah, and Scott Baio was likable as Chachi in Happy Days, but that doesn't make Scott Baio likable. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Nope, not going to get to say someone I don't really know is better than another person, but I agree that Chris Pratt is a wanker imo. npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster In their efforts to gaslight the Republicans' Putinism I saw that CNN is calling Speaker Mike Johnson our Churchill. Fuck that! That's like calling what Mike Pence did on #J6 the same as what General Washington when he crossed the Delaware. You don't get to be turned into a hero by finally doing what you should have done months before! Meanwhile, Russian state media are calling what Johnson did betrayal. Doesn't betrayal mean that they had a deal? https://cepa.org/article/putins-propagandists-rage-against-the-republican-betrayal/ npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Thank you President Biden! I'm so grateful that enough Americans voted to put you into office. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/298/685/404/326/131/original/ee50f3d267e438f6.png npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster In the U.S. K-12 education is state and local government funded so it should not be news to anyone that more of our federal taxes go towards national security. https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/277/617/200/821/815/original/7dc2b189463ec21d.png npub1xy4yprlhn58k8mrlzwd6nm3hdwz9vw0fz3f6a9mhxhqepaptuwzsk5ewwy Kevin Leecaster Well, well, well look what happens when the dog catches the car. Fox News didn't use the abortion word or pro-life for their entire 3-hour news program this morning.
