But once he is out of office he can be charged at the state level even if a future President pardons him.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

That is the fear. He will try to institute that. The GOP may support him that endeavor.

I noticed a fairly strong chinese presence hear in South Africa. The guesthouse we are staying at seems to be owned by a chinese company. In Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe there seemed to be a lot of Chinese signs and tradenames also.

But I am familiar with heavy equipment that requires a lot of fuel to be able to move and do work.
I guess you are unaware that the construction industry is already working on that. StackPathThis article is two years old so I am sure a lot has happened since then. https://www.hitachicm.com/...-powered-construction-machinery OTR truck manufacturers are all over it too.Peterbilt becomes latest truck maker to work on all-electric class 8 truck to compete with Tesla Semi | Electrek China, and Japan is building them all the time.
And they are welcome to invest in the most expensive way to produce electricity. That doesn't mean the US should do the same. Renewables and renewables with storage are now cheaper than coal. Those are the facts.

I operated an electric earth mover in 1958. The electricity was produced by a diesel engine.
Don't you think technology and needs have changed drastically in the last 60 years? Now days it is more efficient to run electric cables for even dragline excavators. The biggest dragline excavator in the world was powered by electric cables.
quote:Big Muskie - Wikipedia If and when the renewable energy gets cheaper than fossil fuels they will be producing more than 12% of the worlds electricity.
So your mantra is "Don't confuse me with the facts , my mind is made up".I provided you multiple sources saying that renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuel, but you would rather revel in your ignorance. Are you capable of reading even basic information and digesting what it says? Your data on renewables is old. Non fossil fuel electricity production is 26% for the whole world.Server error The reason renewable is only at 26% is becuase fossil has a bit of a head start and they get huge amounts of subsidies. Renewable is soaring with very limited subsidies. It is much cheaper when you take into account all of the subsidies the fossil fuel industry enjoys. I know facts are an uncomfortable thing.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

No one's this thick.
ICANT self proclaims that he is. As would, seemingly, the vast majority of dumpster fire's supporters and that includes all of the GOP Reps and Senators. So a lot of self proclaimed thick people out there.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

donnie betrayed the kurds and has total betrayed our national interests. He wants to take credit for something he almost totally screwed up. He deserves no praise only condemnation. I am not sure how our military is functioning effectively, but as they are, it is a huge compliment to the strength, professionalism and effectiveness of our military that they are.

Though I agree this is huge, I really would like to see some corroboration. Lev is not the most reputable source there is. Once more news organizations start reporting this I will be more confident in its legitimacy.

My understanding is that once you have discussed something on TV it no longer is privileged information.
If the subject has been publicly discussed that can and should constitute waiving of attorney/client privilege. Also, there is the crime-fraud exception to attorney client privilege. I think they fall squarely under that.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Jonathan Turley has become a bit of a rightwing nut job. He clamed multiple times that Obama exceeded his authority a number of times. Even when courts did not agree with Turley.
Turley thinks Clinton lying about getting a blowjob is much more of a threat to our Democracy than anything Trump has done. quote: Mr. Turley's actual writing at time of Clinton impeachment.
quote:The guy is nothing more than a right wing hack. Dishonest and partisan. GOP's legal expert insists Clinton had to be impeached to protect the 'existence of government' and prevent 'anarchy' - Alternet.org To address this specifics of your issues you posted. There is a tweet for that.

All you have to do is read his arguments for Clinton impeachment and his arguments against anything Obama did and compare them to his arguments for Trump. Turley marketed himself as a civil libertarian for years, but he truly means civil libertys that support white privilege. Us true civil libertarians gave up on him decades ago.
He is the definition of a partisan hack. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Agreed.
I am hoping that people will start seeing Obama as the grifter he has become. He has no moral voice any more. He can not ethically be a leader of the Democratic Party. He has made rumblings that he will endorse someone to blunt the progressive wing of the party. The party apparatchiks must be removed from power and the votes of the people used to determine who the candidate is.Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

Asyou all know I am not a Christian, I am not a believer, so some may find it kind of rich that I am quoting a preacher. Reverend Barber speaks with a moral voice and manifests what my understanding is that Christians say they stand for.

For all practical purposes the last 2 years has made the US Constitution null and void. donnie can do anything he wants and neither the Courts or the Congress are willing to stop him. The final bulwark against tyranny will be the states. The states that rise in opposition will in actuality be the Pro-Constitution side.
I fully expect the GOP and donnie to make some sort of call for a constitutional overhaul which they will market as a revival. A dissolution of The Republic is on the horizon. The question is how violent. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

This is what happens when you fire all the experts and appoint sycophants to positions of authority. We are so totally and utterly screwed.
Looks like this administration is intent in spreading the virus not containing it. Maybe it is just rank incompetence. quote: https://www.washingtonpost.com/...ees-hhs-whistleblower-saysFacts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.
