Re: Trump's Embrace of Foreign Interference Draws FEC Response
Yep, spare us the horror of 1ml of H2O=1gm of H2O=1cc of H2O. It just makes calculations so much harder than using 1 gallon of H2O=8.34 pounds of H2O=231 cubic inches of H2O.

I've been watching around, (as my time allows) to see some DETAIL on just how Putin and the rest of the Russian politics believes their society would benefit from a Trump presidency over a Hillary presidency.
A somewhat interesting question, but not relevant to the fact that Russia interfered in our election on Trump's side, and will do so again bigger and better in 2020.
The clear benefit to Russians is Trump lifting economic sanctions and not adding new ones.

Re: The Latest Trump Screwups
and he’s brushing off the latest credible accusation of sexual misconduct by saying the accuser is “not my type.”
I take this to mean that he would indeed rape a woman who "is his type."

Any individual nominated for appointment as Director of National Intelligence shall have extensive national security expertise.
So far ALL Trump's appointees have had extensive expertise at weakening national security.

NOAA staff warned in Sept. 1 directive against contradicting Trump
NOAA staff warned in Sept. 1 directive against contradicting Trump
quote:
Nearly a week before the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publicly backed President Trump over its own scientists, a top NOAA official warned its staff against contradicting the president.
In an agencywide directive sent Sept. 1 to National Weather Service personnel, hours after Trump asserted, with no evidence, that Alabama would most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated, staff was told to only stick with official National Hurricane Center forecasts if questions arise from some national level social media posts which hit the news this afternoon.
They were also told not to provide any opinion, according to a copy of the email obtained by The Washington Post.
quote:
The Birmingham office sent the tweet after receiving a flurry of phone calls from concerned residents following Trump’s message.
The agency sent a similar message warning scientists and meteorologists not to speak out on Sept. 4, after Trump showed a hurricane map from Aug. 29 modified with a hand-drawn, half-circle in black Sharpie around Alabama.
quote:
Late Friday afternoon, NOAA officials further angered scientists within and beyond the agency by releasing a statement, attributed to an unnamed agency spokesperson, supporting Trump’s claims on Alabama and chastising the agency’s Birmingham meteorologists for speaking in absolutes.
That statement set off a firestorm among scientists, who attacked NOAA officials for bending to Trump’s will.
quote:
In 2018, a survey of scientists at 16 federal agencies found a culture of fear and self-censorship in an administration that has sidelined scientific evidence, especially as it related to climate change, in favor of political expediency.
Keith Seitter, executive director of the American Meteorological Society, said in a statement that the criticism of the Birmingham forecast office is unwarranted; rather they should have been commended for their quick action based on science in clearly communicating the lack of threat to the citizens of Alabama.
Trump and Republicans continue their attacks on science and scientists.

Is there anything he won't sink to?
It's like every scumbag in this scumbag administration is in a scumbag contest with every other scumbag in this scumbag administration and they are all winning!!
These criminals are breaking all records of past corrupt administrations.
(As I sat here thinking I could have written a 20 page rant, easily, but it would not make me feel better or safer. I have been shooting images almost continuously since I got home from my road trip and it has been extremely fulfilling...better use of my time right now)

Re: Rolled?
I wonder what 50 soldiers could do against an invading army with tanks and heavy artillery.
Just wondering...
They don't have to do anything. Turkey won't risk war with the United States by injuring our soldiers. As long as they are there it provides a shield for the Kurds. That's why the Turkish president wants Trump to remove our troops.

Re: Rolled?
They were our allies. Until Trump fucked them over.
And it turns out Trump has a profitable hotel in Turkey.
Amazing that Trump always knows the most corrupt people on the planet.
Guess which country spends the most at Trump's properties?

Re: Rolled?
trump is supposed to be some kind of master dealmaker but his solution is to just turn tail and let the Kurds die instead of risking his Turkish business deals.
This cowardice will forever be known as the TRUMP MASSACRE. He wants his fucking name on things...he can own this!

Re: The Ukraine Crimes
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.
Every fucking one of them thinks Trump shits chocolate syrup and they all consider themselves connoisseurs of chocolate.

Re: Bolton = the very best!

True words!
Welcome back, Tany. You've been missed.
Thanks! I bailed the 1st of December after realizing I couldn't find anything to read here. Everything was completely pointless postings to and from everyone with the 3 nutters, faith, marc and Mikey the diz.
I got a personal message that RAZD had taken a sudden turn for the worse so I logged in to find that he had passed. That breaks my heart, he was the best of us and I am much better for having known him!

The Trump Presidential Library
It has been widely reported that the library was spotted recently... an empty, torn and partly burned bookbag in a dumpster.
