Since June we (East Texas) have been running mid 90s to low 100sF (32-40C) with with hear indexes about 110F, lows of 85F (29C) at night. A high pressure dome of heat parked over the Central US bringing no rain (at least to Texas) for several weeks and high temps. Comparing F to C. I prefer the spread of F over C, but consider I grew up with F. A recent trip to Corpus Christi we saw large large fields of immature brown/dead corn.
An alarming report is that the Oceans are turning green (more plant matter growing) due to the rise of temps, sharks are reported as dying. Another report said that El Niño usually causes a reduction of Atlantic hurricane activity, but with oceans heating up, that may change.

I never thought I would be living in such a transitional period for the Earth. We have been warned for 40 years, yet as a species, we just blunder along until we are smacked upside the head.

The politicians have been getting roasted. Now they are fighting back. This should get interesting.

Ok this looks like its is staged. But if it is, why make himself look like a buffoon. Is this the man with charisma to be the next president? lol

Thanks for the laugh! Saying Newsome looks like a buffoon while supporting the largest buffoon on the world stage.

Do you think Newsome looks presidential here? lololol

Not possible for me to care less. The Republican Party has been in the thrall of the least presidential buffoon since probably Andrew Johnson. Or were you hoping Newsome would look presidential (which is a very simplistic descriptor) so you could vote for him in 2028?

Pretty sure you are not someone that I will continue to engage with. You don't come in good faith.

I don’t care if someone looks presidential or not. What truly matters is how they act and the policies they stand for. The office of the President of the United States is not a beauty pageant; it's a position that demands intelligence, integrity, honesty, and, above all, the ability to care for all citizens, regardless of their background or beliefs.

Well the way you handle crisis gives the electorate the opportunity to see you under fire. Hence being presidential. This is a bad look for the lefts Golden Boy.

When compared to the next inhabitant of the White House, Newsom comes across as a genius.

How "presidential" is it to alter the projected path of a hurricane with a sharpie to satisfy your ego? Or to spread dangerous lies claiming FEMA is out to take your home, discouraging people from seeking critical aid after a disaster?

Even worse, how responsible is it to downplay a deadly disease for months—risking countless lives—all because you’re more worried about reelection than public health? These actions aren’t just unpresidential; they’re reckless and dangerous.

Nice whataboutism. When pulling a lever for the next candidate to represent the party, do you think anyone will be thinking of Donald Trump? He won't be on the ballot? The video that was posted on Newsom will hinder him from getting the (D) nomination, by showing him cracking under pressure from a "karen", much less a world leader.

Though we know that doesn't matter. 2 of the last 3 candidates on the left didn't win the primary. I guess he can always count on that.

Two? Which Two? And you forgot one thing. Harris was on the primary ballot. She was on the ticket alongside Biden.

It is a curious paradox in modern political discourse in the U.S., where style often seems to take precedence over substance. The emphasis on appearance, media presence, and image overshadows the real-world effects of policies and possible the focus on "what looks good on TV" can distract from the core issues that actually affect people's lives, from healthcare to economic inequality to environmental concerns.

Bernie was robbed against the nominee was granted to Hillary. I understand what you are saying with Harris, but you and I both know she would not have been the choice by the democrats if she was on top the ticket.

Bernie did not win the nomination. So not robbed. Anyone had the right to try to win the nomination last year and some tried. So again - wrong

I don't know about that. Many on the left were not happy with the super delegate fiasco. And out of respect for Joe, he was handed the nomination. Are you trying to float that if Joe held true to his word and from jump stuck with being a 1 term president, the primaries would have been handed to Harris as it was? Or do you think it would have been a battle of MANY who desire that position, but held back from running against the incumbent?

neither of us will be able to say that. Harris still had an advantage as VP

I agree it would give her a starting advantage, but it would not have been handed to her as it was handed to Joe. And furthermore, she would have been a better candidate if she went through the process. Her campaign was so short lived in 2020 she had no campaign experience and was crushed by the weight of the moment.

It wasn't just "handed" to her. She campaigned alongside Biden during the primaries. Yoru facts are as always screwed.
