Particularly once Bush starts training the attack dogs on him. I am curious to see who the RNC eventually moves to de facto nominate; because it will be the person they think is most likely to beat Hillary.

I don't think any of the republican clowns actually have a chance at beating Hillary unless the economy shits the bed or she has a live girl / dead boy type situation within like 3 months of the election.

The only reason republicans controls congress is that the senate is naturally gerrymandered in favor towards them and the wave election of 2010 and subsequent gerrymandering and suppressing minority turnout after winning so much.

I wonder what the GOP response would/will be if roads get so bad they're impossible to drive on, surely raising taxes and fixing them still wouldn't be the solution.

Doesn't Texas have this problem?

I remember reading that they will be converting several roads that use to be paved to gravel ones because they refuse to raise taxes to fix roads that have gotten impossible to drive on.

Republicans are literally turning this country into a third world one.

The thing with GMOs is that we've been modifying the genes of literally everything we've been farming forever using selective breeding anyway. The difference is now we're doing it directly and more quickly. Few of the things we farm can actually survive in the wild all that well. Plus genetics is actually a very broad science so just assuming that everything genetically modified is poison is kind of dumb. It's possible that if we meddle with reckless abandon we might cause problems but Bill Nye actually had a good view on it. He basically said "it's a tool we have at our disposal and it's useful. Yes the potential for awful things is there but if we test everything and only release stuff that is safe into the market it's fine."

Plus the "but it's unnatural!!!" argument is dumb anyway. Arguing that natural things are inherently better is like saying we should all run out and grab polio because polio is natural.

Yeah, people that bitch about GMO's being frankenfood really need to understand how poo poo like grafting because that is literally playing frankenstein with plants yet no one has bitched about that process being done for the 300+ years it's been around.

ComradeCosmobot posted:

Of course the problem with this argument is that you get the typical people pointing to how lovely companies like to cut corners on testing (which they do) so how do you actually know it's safe?

You punch them in the stomach for being stupid, because where do they think the precious testing is on "natural" foods?

Fox won't exclude Trump from the debates unless he's well and truly charred and done in the polls. He's tight with Ailes and they've been relentless in servicing his junk for the last few weeks.

This to. Trump is tied to the hip with :foxnews: and since the GOP is as well they can only hope that he flames out in the polls before debates happen.

Remember how like 3 months ago people were saying that the destruction of the GOP has a zero chance of happening? Trump being in the debates has single handily changed that.

Chimeras are fundamentally different than selective breeding. Being "new" shouldn't enough to be afraid of something, but it is fundementally different.

Not really which is why I like to use the seedless fruit example. Those are naturally occurring genetic mutations that we've managed to cultivate and graft onto new root systems for like 150 years now in the case of navel oranges and for centuries with seedless grapes (we seriously have no idea where those came from, and only maybe think it came from around the black sea).

Fun fact about the navel orange, every single one of them you have ever eaten is from the first genetically mutated seedless orange tree that we've managed to keep alive by grafting the gently caress out of it.

You can't graph a glowfish onto a plant no matter what you do. They're fundamentally different technologies. New technology isn't something we should be scared about, but we should investigate them and potentially regulate them differently.

I'm all for strict regulation of agribusiness.

Although the only reason why you would ever graft a glowfish onto a plant would be because it would be :krad: Imagine glow in the dark weed and think of the appeal to ravers!

Things like splicing a non edible or not traditionally edible plant that's resistant to a disease or pest into an edible plant is pretty well regulated because things like altering the taste from a bad splice are dead giveaways that poo poo's hosed up. Also, we've literally been doing that to plants for centuries through grafting and cross pollination, splicing just lets us be more precise about it and speeds up the process. Frankenfood is basically a huge scare tactic designed to frighten people that either never paid attention in biology or never took it.
