Funny thing, it was lawful until Barrett replaced Ginsberg. Ds need to up their Senate game for sure.

It would be more accurate to state that Nixon's crimes benefited the R party in general and that Ford, who was selected by Nixon to replace Agnew indirectly benefited as well. Pardoning Nixon was sold as for the "good of America" but a strong case could be made that it was really an attempt to save the party from further damage.

I would note that she left of her own free will.

Imagine how many children's lives could be saved by limiting access to child killing machines.

Yes, there is considerable pollution involved in the various processes of extracting the material. The Chinese deposits are apparently mostly in clay. There are also significant, but smaller deposits of commercial value in California and I believe Wyoming. But so far they are staying in the ground because of the difficulty of extraction and the fact that the Chinese produce enough of them at a price that will not support US mining. They are quite common, but not so commonly found in concentrations worth mining.

And between 80 and 90% of the output of them. But there is plenty enough to go around in the world if China decides they don't want that income any longer.

The Chinese threaten America and the west. Yelling fire now may scare them off before the Yuan takes over as the world's dominant currency. You should also be aware that Canadian companies account for nearly half of the world's mining companies. We are working hard to keep China from owning all the copper.

What would Cecil Rhodes say? There is nothing new under the Sun.

It's hard to see how it could be practical to have small amounts of capacity of all the things that come from the outside "just in case". That is the nature of the world we live in with all the things that make life easier. Not even "Fortress America" could maintain the lifestyles you are used to. Not that you could not become self sufficient, but there are few who would choose the level of sacrifice needed.

Ag Barr has revved up the execution machine at Terre Haute trying his best to extract vengeful justice in the time he has left. Stephen Miller, now deprived of his chance to overturn birthright citizenship in a second Trump term is doing all he can to speed up as many deportations as he can. The recently named Defence Secretary is working to fight the DoD to do Trumps bidding ASAP. Those are just the stand out examples of the lame duck policies still working to do as much damage as possible.

Not quite the same problem. There was a trade imbalance with Japan. But post-war they have been an ally, not a geo-political rival.

I was in Nebraska last week. No masks at all in the place I went to. NE has one of those ideologue right wing governors who insist that freedom from responsibility is a god given right. Here is a powerful quote from the piece Wendy linked to: It means that some of the people who get infected over Thanksgiving will struggle to enter packed hospitals by the middle of December, and be in the ground by Christmas. There is something to think about.

Soon to be the past I guess. But the past informs the future, and he has done a lot of damage.

You kidding me? Ever listen to right wing talk radio? Outrage is their main product, day in and day out. That's all they do is whip up guys like you. Have you examined yourself for example? I mean here. No one, and I mean NO ONE here expresses outrage like you do. In the words of Ellis McDaniels, AKA Bo Diddley, "Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself".

I think maybe being pissed off just gives them some meaning in their lives and a reason to live.

It would be a problem in Canada.

So, what happened at the County Commission meeting scheduled for yesterday?
-
I see that places of worship are included. I’m pretty sure that will not fly.
-
Nah, they will be people seconded from their regular jobs. They will be happy to return to normal. Scanning your QR code for access is an idea stolen from China.
-
I agree. It’s downright offensive except as an emergency measure. And probably overkill.

Parler, Rumble, will intensify right wing extremism

It's not actually all that big. But its growing for now. -

Mama always said, "stupid is as stupid does". -
Ha ha. I just heard the dotard's voice on the radio for the fist time in a while. It seems the markets hit a record on the news of the day and he wanted to claim credit for it. Never mind that the good news that caused the rally is his confirmed departure!
-
Yes of course. They must worship at the alter of the 2nd.
-
Yes, I'm sure there are all those things. And the cancellation of the show is not because of guns. It is crowd control, not gun control.
