Lemme ask the constant posters here a simple question; Do you feel more confident in your political views being correct or your basketball views being correct?

Which topic are you more interested in learning more about - Basketball or politics?I know very little about basketball, outside of that I love to watch professional basketball more than any other sport.
On the other hand, most political views are based in value statements, and can't be either correct or incorrect.

In convo's like these i find many adults pull basically the "i'm an old dog who's too old to learn new tricks" card because it's convenient... but the way i see it, it always boils down to effort and competency.
And what is it exactly that you are doing here?is clearly just a low-effort way to try and sound competent infront of other low-effort semi-competent cohorts.
Thank goodness someone does!Trump's not going to be happy with this man. It sounds like the guy has integrity. The last thing Trump wants is officials who have integrity.

“The NWS Forecaster(s) corrected any public misunderstanding in an expert and timely way, as they should,” McLean wrote. “There followed, last Friday, an unsigned press release from ‘NOAA’ that inappropriately and incorrectly contradicted the NWS forecaster. My understanding is that this intervention to contradict the forecaster was not based on science but on external factors including reputation and appearance, or simply put, political.”
He also wrote that “the content of this press release is very concerning as it compromises the ability of NOAA to convey life-saving information necessary to avoid substantial and specific danger to public health and safety.”
“If the public cannot trust our information, or we debase our forecaster’s warnings and products, that specific danger arises,” McLean wrote.
As a result, McLean told his staff that “I am pursuing the potential violations of our NOAA Administrative Order on Scientific Integrity.”
“I have a responsibility to pursue these truths,” he added. “I will.”
That's a fantastic question. I would be curious who sent that out and on whose authority.Thank goodness someone does!
But wow, I had thought the press release was approved by the NOAA head. If he's not the one who issued it, then who did???

LOLOL, y'all are just full of hot air.. pat yourself on the back. self-soothe, and keep on truckin. You're far too invested in this nonsense to stop now LOL.
I like to hum a flat note to self-sooth. And fart. Humming and farting are very soothing.LOL did you think you really were gonna engage me in a debate here?

Asked for comment, Brittany Bramell, the CIA director of public affairs, told CNN: "CNN's narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false. Misguided speculation that the President's handling of our nation's most sensitive intelligence—which he has access to each and every day—drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate."
A spokesperson for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined to comment. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said, "CNN's reporting is not only incorrect, it has the potential to put lives in danger."
There were no comments from the intelligence community. There were two statements from PR departments.
The CIA PR Director didn’t say the story was inaccurate. She said the misguided speculation was inaccurate. Which could mean anything. I doubt she knows the real reasons for the extradition, she’s a mouthpiece. And from the White House we get mostly lies, so I dismiss that comment entirely.
Pompeo’s Silence says something as he would be the guy with direct knowledge of what drove this decision.
