I apologize Nico, I read your post as fuck the global warmers we have plenty of oil.
However, telling peoe peak oil is further away is a bad thing (even if it is) panic and pressure bring out more development from humanity (see what war does for scientific advancement alas)
But again, I misread your post and apologise.

The dark ages were dark because they had very little firewood

Donald J. Trump's new lawyer -- America's lawyer really -- Rudy Guliani told FOX News today both: that Trump fired Comey because he didn't promise him he wasn't a target of the FBI (thus not the purported reason of Comey blasting HRC in that press conference, if you can believe it), and also that DJT paid Michael Cohen back the $130,000 that went to Stormy Daniels to shut her up.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

I thought Giuliani was a big Trump supporter? Isn't this a bit throwing him under the bus? Not that I care mind you, the more division in that group the better, but I thought they'd all closed ranks around him?
Or is this a case of someone finally realising that 1) this train is heading for a wreck and 2) it doesn't matter how loyal you feel you've been to Trump, he'll throw you out to save his own skin at the first sign of trouble...

He's not just a Trump supporter, he is actually now (as of a couple weeks ago) part of DJT's legal team. He's just a bad lawyer and a dumb man.

I thought this was part of making sure Cohen will not flip - Giuliani admits Trump knew, Cohen won't have to lie about it to Mueller, if he was so inclined, therefore keeping potential perjury of his record. Giuliani makes sense as the messenger: he's new to the team so it won't mean he goes back on his own previous comments and it doesn't come out of Trump's mouth as an admission.

Yeah, it's like some hurt now, to potentially avoid more worse hurt later.

Thye hoops these criminals are goring though to avoid the law is fucking DESPICABLE at this point. These shady shenanigans only serve to show HOW corrupt and morally bankrupt they all are. It's a game of loopholes.

Is it any wonder that his staffers all call him stupid when he changes his story everyday? His lawyers can't cover for him even.
The people ardently still supporting him who aren't wealthy is... sad.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

It's not gonna make a difference though. If he hasn't been impeached by now, it is never going to happen.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

Also, I tip Kanye West for next president. He's clearly been studying Trump's methodology and seen it works. Intelligence is overrated, you just need to have media presence and shout loudly. Brave new world.
[edit]Oh, and he is proper black. Not like that Obama bloke. It's a sure victory.

The pendulum just needs to swing enough the other way I think. It won't be Trump's transgressions that make the GOP balk, it will be losing their power....if they hemorrhage enough power in November...I think you'll find them much more amenable to getting him out.

He would never let her talk, and would three way call attack her.
No one has time for that kind of childish nonsense.

I hope you're right QT. I have a deep fear that if they lose their majorities they're just going to pull back and play the stalling game again like they did during the Obama years. Trump will likely end up continuing to push through all of his policy as executive orders rather than proper legislation, and the Rep's will successfully demonize the Dem's for actively resisting the currently sitting administration while simultaneously having a lot of people forget that they did THE EXACT SAME FUCKING THING to Pres. Obama ala the Schumer Shutdown situation. Unfortunately, the Rep's are strongly adept in the art of the Spin.

No, that is wrong. They'll get their win. They don't want government unless they control it. Otherwise it is tyranny. Til the "states" get back control.
These are all predominantly white, privileged, WASPS who feel wronged.
Remind you of any other American history?
