Trust the process...

 

Doug Collins can’t argue a single fact so he’s standing on the dais and pissing on the hearing room floor while whining about “process and precedent.”

MERRICK GARLAND

Fuck the GOP and everyone in that cult.

This time there are no "flooding rains"...so it's the end.
No rain, no hope.
There would've been hope, if the federal govts now and in the past had any idea.
"Pipe water from where it is to where it's needed" - no 1 radio host tells them, they never listen...now look what's happened...ruination.

"from where it is to where it's needed"

If only they could have predicted that these areas that now have need but in the past did not would have the need, while some places that in the past had need do not now.

Your radio host's advice is at the level of "Buy low, sell high."

Good luck finding him predicting where the piping needed to be a decade ago, given that he spent most of the intervening years first denying that anything was happening, then that anything manmade was happening, and finally that there was/is anything to be done about it.

There has always been drought.
There is always water in the top half of the country, and in Western Australia state.
...pouring into the sea...measured in "Sydney harbour" lots.....which is 'criminal' to let happen without harvesting it all and piping it nationwide.
China will soon do it when it takes over.

Many people's assessment. Including some who have left the administration

Egg throwers?  Not so much.  But you wouldn't expect praise from opposition extremists

EXTREMISTS!!

Yes.  Your group.  You say you are a proud American but cannot act like it because the President's criminality has you all fucked in the head.

And it ought to have you pissed off, too, but you have swallowed ... something.

Jane Fonda leads the world into the grip of anti-human hysteria over climate change

Jane Fonda’s comments about the fossil fuel industry are only the tip of the iceberg as celebs and civilians alike find themselves in the grips of an anti-human hysteria, writes Kevin Donnelly.


It would be impossible to find a more egregious, harmful and deeply offensive example of climate change extremism than American actor Jane Fonda’s comparison of the fossil fuel industry to the Nazis who perpetrated the Holocaust.

Last week on the BBC’s Newsnight the Hollywood activist – who during the Vietnam War posed for the cameras alongside artillery used by the North Vietnamese to shoot down American pilots — argued the extermination of millions in concentration camps equalled the impact of fossil fuels like coal and oil on the world and its population.

Fonda also went on to argue, much like the other extremists associated with deep green environmental ideology, that the world is facing an existential crisis that unless immediately addressed will lead to the end of the world as we know it.

Much like the doomsayers of the past warming about an impending apocalypse Fonda argues in 40 years democracy will collapse, dictatorships will rule the world as humanity will be overwhelmed with rising seas, droughts and famine.

Apart from insulting the memory of the millions tortured, starved and murdered in concentration camps because of Hitler’s madness Fonda’s comments ignore the reality that fossils fuels over many years have led to the increased prosperity and health of billions around the world.

In both affluent countries and especially the third world coal and petrol have led to dramatic improvements in transportation, communication and food production as well as providing the essential necessities of life like electricity. Not surprisingly the world has never experienced such a period of improvement.

Oh dear.

  I can only add that if asking for competent, honest and accountable government is "fucked in the head" then call me batshit cuckoo for cocoa puffs stark raving mad.   I AM proud to live in a nation where we are permitted to call for the removal of sociopathic scoundrels from high office.

You didnt treat Bush/Cheney teh same as Trump?

You didnt call for them to be tried for war crimes?

If not - good for you.  But you are in the minority here

Didn't discuss them the same way.

Do want them tried for war crimes - torture remains illegal by US and international law.

That you think torture is okay is about your lack of humanity, but no news there. Inhumane treatment is par for the course for your version of the GOP. See also: America's Concentration Camps and ongoing sexual abuse of children by our government.

Well done, administration:

It was a swap, Kid. The US just happened to neglect to mention that.

Yes.  Your group.  You say you are a proud American but cannot act like it because the President's personality has you all fucked in the head.

Consider the possibility that loving your country and supporting a President are.two different things. And that the current president is getting his due.

Do you think there is any such thing as FAKE NEWS?

Yes.

You think Iran was just letting the guy go, even in his innocence?

I like Jane Fonda

This was so predictable!

The AG and the prez want the motives behind the investigation into the Trump campaign investigated two years after the fact. They put their own people on it.

The results come back and clear the Investigation. No bias in its beginning, just cause.

And Barr? He cannot accept it. Let's do it again!

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/inspector-general-report-russia-investigation/h_d8d0a933bbaa76659098f538f2902275

Kid Troll, you asked if there is fake news. Sure is! Everything that comes out of AG Barr's mouth about justice and honesty and integrity.

[kiidcarter8]

The evidence of Trump's criminality and obstruction is just as stark as the evidence of Nixon's was. 


Sure it is

When it proves not to be - in your mind it still will be.

I think we are done here.  Unless you want to rebutt in vain.

It's funny, troll. The Committee's report and the GOP's report agree on almost all the facts of what happened.

Only you disagree with the facts!

[josh]

Yes, there is fake news.

It came from GWB and Cheney and their military on a regular basis. And from Obama's military, too often, as well.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/09/politics/washington-post-afghanistan-war-investigation/index.html

It comes out to this day from Trump. Last summer, this was one of Trump's lies.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/22/politics/donald-trump-imran-khan-pakistan-prime-minister-white-house/index.html

General Lute said:
"...we were devoid of a fundamental understanding of Afghanistan -- we didn't know what we were doing.

"What are we trying to do here? We didn't have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking,"

We still don't know what we are doing and our government is still lying to us about it.

[LarryBnDC]

The dumbest man in Congress, Rep. Louie Gohmert is whining about Obama signing Executive Orders as if he were a King.

He still hasn’t gotten over Eric Holder “casting aspersions on his asparagus.”

[kiidcarter8]

Heh

Dems getting their asses kicked today
