Seems the arctic heats up and cools down all by itself.

New York Congressman Jerry Nadler is the head democrat on the House Judiciary Committee and wants to lead the democrats’ Impeachment effort.

That means convincing people that the Russians ran a significant disinformation campaign via American digital media companies.
But Tuesday a meeting of the House Judiciary committee may not have gone exactly as Mr. Nadler had planned. The witness was Google CEO Sundar Pichai.




NADLER: Does Google now know the full extent to which its online platforms were exploited by Russian actors in the election two years ago?
PICHAI: We have -- you know we undertook a very thorough investigation, and in 2016, we -- we now know that there were two main ad accounts linked to Russia, which -- which you know, advertised on Google for about $4,700 in advertising.
We also found other limited...
NADLER: Total of $4,700?

PICHAI: That’s right, which was, you know -- no amount is OK here, but we found limited activity, improper activity. We learned a lot from that and we have, you know, dramatically increased the protections we have around our election offerings.
Leading up to the current elections, we did -- we again found limited activity, both from the Internet Research Agency in Russia, as well as accounts linked to Iran.


Wow!  The Russians , on an ad buy of less than $ 5,000, got Trump elected, while Hillary thew a cool $ 1 billion or so, (much of it donations to Clinton Foundation to help children) only to lose.

Hey NADLER!  Don’t get used to your Impeachment Czar crown just yet!

On the issue of the caravans from the south...

The best idea is to build more legal processing centers, and more legal border crossings, etc. And there could be tent cities built to help the people. The unions in the USA can help, the unions can tell the workers where the job are. There are jobs working in the vineyards and in the fields, and there are construction jobs in the areas hit by hurricanes and fires, etc. The unions know where the jobs are. And also the universities can be there to help the people who want to study in the USA, etc. The hospitals can be there to hire nurses. Etc, etc, etc. There can be new tent cities built, and the people can be sent to where they are needed, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

It’s nice of Red to signal ahead of time how frothy and irrational he’s gonna get when the gavels change hands.

Nadler is going to bring out how the entire treason party danced with Butina at the NRA balls. Not a lot of people are going to want to vote for candidates endorsed and funded by bankrupt criminal organizations.

A 20-25% popular trump should not be impeached. He should run hard for re-election so he can drag all republicans down with him. Try him as a common citizen in 2020.

You and Redd are the most likely candidates for being happy about it.

I doubt any moderate, liberal, or progressive here thinks she would be a good candidate at this time.

Alan believes in climate change   ["the climate is always changing" says he. 
He's just not believing all the scaremongering from the ['man-made' climate change] brigade that Sydney's going to be flooded 'next week'.

Yes, Bambi, you've told us that.

He also thinks that it is part of a conspiracy to create world government.

IOW, he is a LOON!

I think she could do a fair job debating Trump
