    Lulz he's fucking terrified. I wonder how deep he is in this shit? 

     

    Michael Cohen is one of his attorneys.  So... diarrhea.  

  2. The only reason that R's do nothing to go against Trump is they are scared of his base (and the electorate for them).  They also only think short term.  There is no such thing as a chess match.  They play Stratego and put the bombs on the front line.  Fuck whatever happens after that.

    I don't like some of the choices for impeachment manager but without a doubt Hakeem Jeffries came in as one of the best choices and has shown why today and will continue to do so.

     

    Agree.  Dropping a Biggie Smalls line in the Impeachment Trial is solid as well.

  4. So tomorrow he'll be in Ohio for a rally and some of you have missed this gravy train.

    Trump Pop-Up Shop' has arrived in Toledo. The business owner travels the nation ahead of the President's campaign rallies selling hats, shirts and buttons.
     

    TOLEDO, Ohio — We are now three days away from President Trump's visit to Toledo.

    He's campaigning with his "Keep America Great Again" rally at the Huntington Center on Thursday night. 

    Ahead of the rally, supporters are selling and buying Trump merchandise. 

    "When I hire new people I tell them 'think of it like going to a concert. Except for politics. We're the merch guys," said Jeremy Boyts who owns "Trump Pop Up Shop."

    Boyts traded in his suit for sneakers, leaving a job in financial planning to follow then-candidate Trump around the United States. 

    "If you count the Mike Pence rallies and the Donald Trump rallies, it's been over 300 rallies," said Boyts.

    The Springfield Missouri native's business features all the merchandise you'd need for a rally.

    Scientists have been predicating the effects of burning coal and fossil fuels on the temperature of the planet for over 100 years. A 1912 issue of Popular Mechanics contains an article titled “Remarkable Weather of 1911: The Effect of the Combustion of Coal on the Climate—What Scientists Predict for the Future,” which has a caption that reads: “The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year. When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the earth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries.”

    Just one century later, and the effect is considerable indeed. Increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have produced hotter global temperatures, with the last five years (2014 to 2018) being the hottest years on record. 2016 was the hottest year since the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) started recording global temperature 139 years ago. The effects of this global change include more frequent and destructive wildfires, more common droughts, accelerating polar ice melt and increased storm surges. California is burning, Venice is flooding, urban heat deaths are on the rise, and countless coastal and island communities face an existential crisis—not to mention the ecological havoc wreaked by climate change, stifling the planet’s ability to pull carbon back out of the atmosphere.

    In 2015, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reached a consensus on climate action, known as the Paris Agreement. The primary goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. To achieve this goal, major societal transformations will be required, including replacing fossil fuels with clean energy such as wind, solar and nuclear; reforming agricultural practices to limit emissions and protect forested areas; and perhaps even building artificial means of pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

    OP seems to have no direct concern for the people harmed by idiotic do gooder laws, but neither do any of the other people in this thread. 

    As a practical matter, you can only ban things. Laws cannot create jobs. Laws can only ban them. And that's exactly what they did in CA.

    It's a perfect example of why you have to be realistic about the outcome of goverment intervention, because if you aren't then you hurt people. And this outcome was completely predictable.

    I was in CA for the first time in many years recently. Man, literally everything is a sticker shock. Gas, lunch, car rentals man it was all like a 50% premium to reality. $15 for every lunch. I mean I ate pretty good, poke bowls are awesome, but come on. 

    How do you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.

     

    Well.  (unless you have eating problems)   

    Do New York next.

    Iran is cheating.  On the deal they never signed. I would ask how this happens, how dumb can people be, but it isn't that. It's corruption. People are corrupt. Why are they even bothering with "nuclear power"? Why give $100 billion to terrorists? They are sitting on an ocean of hydrocarbons. They want a bomb. The people who have not qualms killing civilians, women and children, en masse, they want a nuclear bomb. And they're working on getting one. The design isn't hard. It's the part about getting the fissile material, that's where they're making progress.
