Greta Thunberg - brave campaigner or deeply disturbed?

Your nonsense which doesn't even qualify as ad hominem but was just a baseless suggestion that Breitbart misquoted Killary (or more likely just an automatic response without any second thought following Steve's own-goal) was the derail, arthwollipot. My post about what the hag had to say about St. Greta was entirely relevant and on topic.

I made zero statements, claims or suggestions about what Secretary Clinton did or did not say.

Last I checked, "Trump" was shorter than "Donald", so I'm not sure why you would choose that example. However, I do often hear Trump referred to as "The Donald" by detractors.

In my experience this is the favorite moniker of Trump's supporters, not his detractors. It's his "celebrity name". A subforum on Reddit for his fawning fans named itself "The Donald".

This is true, as far as it goes; but far from the whole picture, and applies mainly in the US. As counter-examples, I give you "Bernie" Sanders, and Hillary "Clinton", who are more often referred to by the quoted monikers than the unquoted.

Sanders can go either way; however your statement about Hillary clashes violently with my experience. She is almost always referred to as "Hillary", and only rarely as "Clinton".

Would imagine that is to avoid confusing her with her sexual deviant, impeached husband tbf

So happy to say that I'll hopefully make it to COP25 in Madrid.

I’ve been offered a ride from Virginia, USA, on the french 48ft sailing catamaran La Vagabonde.

The two Australians Riley Whitlum, Elayna Carausu and Nikki Henderson from England will take me across the Atlantic Ocean.

We sail for Europe tomorrow morning!

I expect that the time it has taken to find a ride was mostly taken up by going through and evaluating the dozens of offers she received.
 
Looks like the Spanish government is off the hook. What do you think, arth? Did she arrange this through a travel agency?

Do you think the rest of us could get to COP25 that way? Or would we have to fly, and buy carbon credits? But why would we need to go? Why does Greta need to go?

No, I think she received dozens of offers of assistance, and evaluated them carefully to find which would be the best fit for her purposes. She probably started getting offers immediately after it became clear that she would need to return to Europe.

I mean, if I owned an ocean-going sailing vessel I'd probably have offered her a lift too.

That can't be right - we were reliably told that:

With all the world evidently following her endeavors, not a soul has offered to give her a lift.

Of course, we were also told this:

Here's what I'm thinking is going to happen...

Thunberg is going to accept a "last minute" offer of a lift from Jane Fonda on her private jet.

The world does a communal sigh of relief to find out Greta has a free ride to COP 25

All the climate change experts going to it can now hear her say listen to themselves in person.

The guy got a blowjob from someone who was not his wife. That qualifies as sexual deviance now?

It is. It's not quite as deviant as, say, taking advantage of your position as the primary financier of an under-18 beauty pageant to walk into the dressing room at will so that you can ogle the naked children; however, when you are the president of the United States, there is an undeniable and overwhelming power dynamic that exists between you and the office employees who work for you which makes even hinting at a sexual interest in them inappropriate and ethically-problematic; actually pushing for and engaging in a sexual relationship with them is unavoidably abusive even if the activity is by all appearances consensual.

A "Youtube Couple" with 1.17 million followers and a little baby. Good PR move and maybe we can look forward to some episodes of sailing with the saint™

Oh dear.

If the Australian pair elect to take a plane home from Spain a week after the sailboat arrives, we simply cannot allow Thunberg to get away with such blatant hypocrisy.
