Maybe, as Trump did to Zelenskyy, he just asked for a favor.

Since Clinton the standard for impeachment has been smarminess. I see no reason to change now.

Lindsey Graham. Nice one, Bill.
-
Thank you. I knew I was missing something.

Maybe. Also maybe he's so emboldened by a limp noodle D party, and now that he has a toy dog for an AG he simply doesn't see a reason to have an inside voice. Maybe you are just buying into his next line of defense: "If the President doesn't know it's wrong when he does it, it's not illegal."

Brent, This is an interesting, narrowly focused study. One interesting take away is that areas of Wheat production will be subject to increased periods of severe water shortage as global temperatures increase. Currently, only 15% or so of areas under wheat production world wide suffer coterminously from severe water shortage. So no biggie in terms global supply. Also, local mitigation efforts and the hardiness of the crop attenuate the total impact. But, wheat today accounts for 20% of calories consumed worldwide. In the coming years, if global temperatures continue to increase, the percentage of severe water shortage area overlap will increase as will demand for wheat calories. That does not agree with your more CO2 = more food argument. I think you need to start putting time frames alongside your claims. Also, maybe state when CO2ppm numbers will no longer support your position. Wheat Production.pdf

So screw the Senate. Sometimes you need to burn a site, just because.

And that makes it worth how many millions of dollars and putting at risk how many troops? Think about this win in real terms. Smart Bombs at $25K per, Fighters at $30K+ per hour flight time, ordinance guys, shipping costs, untold dozens of support personnel, planning staff and on and on and on. Maybe TriGirl can put a real number on this, I sure can not, other than I know it's a fuck load of money. Some nights you just need to stay home and be entertained by TV so you can pay the rent.

Yes to this and the previous and so on. I don't like the standards so I simply lowered my standards. I do not believe the lefts political leaders understand reality, know how to fight or have their shit together in any detail. I'm not expecting a win. I'm thinking Thermopylae. When I was a kid I was a runt. I learned that sometimes you need to take a swing even if it means an ass whoopin'.

O.K., I'll take that as a no. Interestingly, you make the point here that all is unchanged but make no mention of deserts being lost and food production increasing.
-
Actually, we saw ourselves more as trail blazers. And you are very welcome.
-
You're a DZO, right? You don't make decisions based on possibilities? I mean, surely you don't wait until bounces become a banality before taking action. You believe in science, right? Is there a CO2ppm number or rate of increase that would concern you?
-
Word! What would any of us admit to if it was secret?
-
It's the "thus far" bit that inspires a certain level of ill grace when responding to your conclusions. CO2 is spiking and the evidence supports the idea of AGW. Yes, some locations will benefit and others will not. Also, time may or may not be on everyones side. It's definitely on my side although it may not be on Greta's, or your kids, side. You know well that it's not a simple less deserts and more food argument. Ecosystems need also be considered. Right now some fisheries in the Bering Sea are in decline because of warming water. True, other rich fisheries will likely open as other areas become accessible just as new deserts will form as others green. We've beat this up again and again. It's all old news. Seriously, we're now at 411ppm CO2. Is there a level or rate of increase that would cause you alarm?

Page 3. The· President: "I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it." You ask for a favor and a quid pro quo is implicit, seems to me. This isn't the end of it. There will be documents outside of the call. The asshole was for sure using his office, and our tax dollars, for personal, campaign related gain. He has an excellent track record of wiggling free, I'm just thinking this may be too much to out wiggle.

If existing, tested and bullet proof technology allowed for the regulation of CO2 in the atmosphere I'm certain we'd use it. We might even use the technology as an economic or military weapon. For sure, humankind has missed few opportunities to re-engineer our environment if a buck could be made. Sort of, you have to wonder how far into the future lays the ability control the composition of the air we breath.

This is by note takers, not given as verbatim. Nonetheless, it seems an obvious strong arm attempt to me. Ukraine call doc..pdf

Well, at least she didn't claim to have been fighting for CO2 reductions her entire life. Look, I give the kid great credit but Thor Heyerdahl she ain't. Nor is the Malizia II another Kon-Tiki, it's a first class, blue water sailing yacht. I was able to cheer her on but only short of her scolding adults on a world stage. That would have been a great time for her claim of "selective mutism" to kick in.

An Oregon Duck? No worries Nancy, we're all Beavers here.

Coreece, give it a rest. You wrote: "directly or indirectly expressed hope for the deaths of older conservatives whose world view hinders their twisted and hypocritical liberal agenda." Indirectly is a very subjective analysis. You know: bullshit. And this ostensible "twisted and hypocritical liberal agenda" business, are you referring to our liberal willingness to ignore our fondness for horrifically murdering innocent babies while we hypocritically concern ourselves with statistically insignificant gun murders?
-
So has anyone actually met BillVon? Is he Pelosi? She'd insist on being a mod, right? This whole thing is freaking me out.
-
Do you suppose Pelosi reads SC?
-
Bully! Now let's roast the miserable bastard.
-
Am I free to conclude we have an area of agreement?

Congressman Richard Neal, Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. He had a two week window before Trump shut down the chance with a lawsuit. New York passed the law and the Governor signed it. Neal simply fumbled the opportunity. We suck. https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2019/07/08/cuomo-signs-law-allowing-new-york-to-hand-over-trumps-taxes-1087835
