Hockey-stick snow.  The freezing temperature of water has been rising dangerously for the past six months due to global warming and Donald Trump and salinization of the atmosphere due to extreme right-wing unproven propaganda.

Water now freezes at 35°F (1.67°C).

The science is settled.

The best explanation I've heard yet.  Oh, and water is inherently racist.  And so is snow because it disproportionately affects POC.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Heck, one time running from El Paso to points northeast, the interstate was moving at about 35mph, with trucks off the side... Dispatch called, wondered why... "Well, it's snowing and it's nasty and I can't talk."
 
High desert, don'tchaknow...
