Like this? Republicans Won Almost Every Election Where Redistricting Was At Stake or Republicans solidify grip on state legislatures, which is likely to lead to redistricting and gerrymandering efforts in 2021

A trump endorsed and christian affiliated group has been charged with conspiracy in the January 6 attempted coup and bloody insurrection. "Federal prosecutors investigating the violent riot at the Capitol this month announced their first conspiracy charges against the Proud Boys on Friday night, accusing two members of the far-right nationalist group of working together to obstruct and interfere with law enforcement officers protecting Congress during the final certification of the presidential election." They offered no explanation as to why trump, his inner circle, nor christian groups were not charged as well. Including their funding arms like "Givegosend.com".

“Come with me if you want to live”. Well after hearing about those in Wyoming who think masks and covid is still a joke. I think that those who want a natural herd immunity to unfold aka trump. Should go to the nearest bar or GOP rally.

Are you sure? Its worked for you 509 times!

A major news network interviewed republican voters in the streets of her district, Everyone stated that those were her "personal views" which would evidently be separate from her opinions in the senate. I assume, otherwise they've bought Q and trump completely. One non republican stated that she was "disgusting". It seems as if Ron ain't the only one in Georgia who's bought the whole hog. There was a Politico reporter who went to Wyoming to attend the anti- Liz Cheney rally put on by trump supporters. Nobody wore masks. Everyone was pro-trump and felt the vote for impeachment trial by Liz was wrong. In fact the reporter had to remove her mask to even get answers from rooms full of trump supporters. The divide that trump created seems set in stone for now.

"A New York judge on Friday increased pressure on former President Donald J. Trump’s family business and several associates, ordering them to give state investigators documents in a civil inquiry into whether the company misstated assets to get bank loans and tax benefits. It was the second blow that the judge, Arthur F. Engoron of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, had dealt to Mr. Trump’s company in recent weeks. In December, he ordered the company, the Trump Organization, to produce records that its lawyers had tried to shield, including some related to a Westchester County, N.Y., property that is among those being scrutinized by the New York State attorney general, Letitia James." Little by little justice is starting to catch up with trump and his mobbed up family of misfits.

How quickly we forget! "The Trump administration’s credibility crisis continues as the president is mocked for apparently signing a blank piece of paper with a marker in photos taken at Walter Reed military hospital, in a vain attempt to show him working while fighting coronavirus. On Saturday night, the White House released photos of Donald Trump appearing hard at work while in hospital, where he remained for a second night after a “very concerning” period. His daughter, Ivanka Trump, shared one of the photos on her Twitter, with the caption: “Nothing can stop him from working for the American people. RELENTLESS!” Later of course he endangered his Secret Service detail and others in his infamous staged photo-op staged motorcade to show his "health and Vigor". There is NO record of him visiting Walter Reed to visit with wounded service personnel.

When evangelicals stop pretending that they are a religion and not a white fascist front. Why Is a ‘Christian Crowdfunding Site’ Letting Proud Boys Leader Enrique Tarrio Raise Money? So far more than $90,000 has been raised for the head of the far-right extremist organization, even though it seems to violate the platform’s terms of service 'People have used GiveSendGo to contribute nearly $5,000 to fundraisers for both the central Texas and central Washington Proud Boys. “Our state is under attack by overt and covert communist groups like antifa and BLM,” reads the central Texas campaign page. “They have billionaire donors and leftist politicians to help fund their destruction. We have YOU to help prevent it!” Trump Supporters Used GoFundMe To Get To DC — Now The Pages Have Been Removed Trump supporters used the popular crowdfunding platform to raise money to attend the president’s rally in Washington, DC.

IMO direct evidence of such representations is necessary to ascertain the entirety of the GOP component of US laws and social policy. I quote from The Times of Israel. Americans wonder why Putin and Xi is trusted more than the US.This publicity gets worldwide coverage. Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed deadly forest fire on Rothschilds and space lasers "Republican congresswoman and QAnon supporter posted anti-Semitic conspiracy on Facebook; she has also attacked ‘Zionist supremacists,’ George Soros Among the many posts being unearthed in renewed scrutiny of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s social media history is one in which the new congresswoman implicated “Rothschild Inc” in connection with a deadly forest fire that, she wrote, was started using laser beams from space. Greene, a freshman Republican from Georgia who made waves during the campaign for her promotion of the baseless, convoluted QAnon conspiracy theory, made the accusation in a 2018 Facebook post that is no longer visible....Suggesting that the Rothschild family is conspiring to cause damage for profit is a longstanding anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, and one that is baked into the QAnon mythology. ... In 2018 she shared a video, also on Facebook, that lambasted “Zionist supremacists” and advanced the “great replacement” theory, which falsely alleges that Jews are conspiring to undermine white-majority countries by bringing in non-white immigrants. Like others who have amplified the QAnon theory, Greene frequently calls George Soros, a Hungarian-American Jewish billionaire and mega-donor, an enemy of the people."

History made: Renewable energy surpassed fossil fuels for European electricity in 2020 But they don't have dinosaurs in the EU.

S. African variant in the US as well.

Ssssssh...free jumps and free beer after hours at the DZ! Whad ya think.

Excellent editorial in NYT today: ‘The Capitol Insurrection Was as Christian Nationalist as It Gets.’ Summarized best and could describe the current GOP party! "describe Christian Nationalism in their book “Taking America Back for God”: It includes assumptions of nativism, white supremacy, patriarchy and heteronormativity, along with divine sanction for authoritarian control and militarism. It is as ethnic and political as it is religious. Understood in this light, Christian nationalism contends that America has been and should always be distinctively ‘Christian’ from top to bottom — in its self-identity, interpretations of its own history, sacred symbols, cherished values and public policies — and it aims to keep it this way. In her recent book, “The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism,” Katherine Stewart, a frequent contributor to these pages, does not mince words: It is a political movement, and its ultimate goal is power. It does not seek to add another voice to America’s pluralistic democracy, but to replace our foundational democratic principles and institutions with a state grounded on a particular version of Christianity, answering to what some adherents call a ‘biblical worldview’ that also happens to serve the interests of its plutocratic funders and allied political leaders." What are your thoughts Ron? Seen any FBI agents hiding in the woodline lately?

As ususal Wrong as you've stated before and know is a lie. "More than 3.2 million abandoned oil and gas wells together emitted 281 kilotons of methane in 2018" or 1% of total US greenhouse emissions. Cleanup of abandoned oil and gas wells could cost Texans $117 billion. Or more than $4000 for every Texan to clean up that liability. So investors make nothing and taxpayers get hit for every single person including children $4k.

Its a good thing skydivers are so green conscious, Brent excluded of course. We all agree to make our air travel one way.

Chinese dumping of solar panels which they eventually admitted to and paid compensation. Even you know that. Tell that to investors in the fracking industry who have a net negative return since the birth of the technology. Which you not only know, but insist upon touting.

Debunked lies, deliberate misinformation and conservative propaganda. The quoted material is from the The Heritage Foundation. "The Heritage Foundation has been described as a major influence on the presidential transition of Donald Trump and the Trump administration.[43][44][45] The foundation had a powerful say in the staffing of the administration...At least 66 foundation employees and alumni were given positions in the administration The Heritage Foundation rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.[70][71] The Heritage Foundation is one of many climate change denial organizations that have been funded by ExxonMobil.[70][72] The Heritage Foundation strongly criticized the Kyoto Agreement

Its too bad for Brent that he didn't have a great arm and a knack for football. He would throw 10 pick sixes in a row, shrug it off and joke with his teammates as if nothing happened. Instead he came to SC to display GOP tribalism.

"The growth phase of the shale boom is "screeching to a halt," says Raoul LeBlanc, vice president for energy at IHS Markit. "We expect zero growth next year, and if the coronavirus continues, we could have negative growth this year." ... Another reason is all about cash. Shale companies simply haven't made much money from the fracking revolution. "This is one of the most capital-intensive businesses in the world," LeBlanc said. "Investors that were willing to fund this massive growth are starting to focus on profitability and getting money back," LeBlanc said. That means spending less on drilling new wells...."In the long run, demand for oil is uncertain, at best. Fear is starting to decapitalize the sector, compounding the lousy returns and making it easy for people to say 'I'm not going to invest here,' " LeBlanc said. 'In the first comprehensive analysis of its kind, Reveal found that, on average, a worker dies about every six weeks from an accident in the Bakken, with at least 74 deaths in the oil fields since 2006."... Air pollution from fracking killed an estimated 20 people in Pennsylvania from 2010-2017: Study Study: Air pollution causes 200,000 early deaths each year in the U.S. New MIT study finds vehicle emissions are the biggest contributor to these premature deaths. Shale Boom Growth 'Screeching To A Halt'

There is one great advantage in the impeachment trial. Midterms are a lifetime away in politics. Every GOP trump traitor will be making grandiose speeches in the coming 3-4 weeks. All on tape to be replayed come election. All to be interspersed with their corporate financial enablers messaging. The Lincoln project will have a field day. It will not look good for corporate America to have their names smeared by treasonous speeches seeking to free someone who has been forgotten.

Will be interesting to see how PBS can edit the carnage to only an hour. They should put Ken Burns to work on another mini-series.

Trump sends a message to Senate Republicans ahead of his trial Screw with me and I'll screw with you. One would think that threatening members of the senate would be dishonorable if not impeachable.But for the trump party anything goes. "The message from Brian Jack, Trump’s former political director at the White House, is the latest sign that Republicans considering an impeachment conviction will do so knowing that Trump may come after them in upcoming primaries if they vote to convict him for “incitement of insurrection.”

Why toy with Brent? You know only monster tsunami hints are useful to help his thinking along! Speaking of, now is the time to invest in big oil Brent. For everyone else S&P puts most major oil companies on negative ratings watch BlackRock Chief Pushes a Big New Climate Goal for the Corporate World Larry Fink is using his firm’s huge influence to pressure companies to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Of course Brent was wrong about Tesla as well. Its only gone up 1973% since Brent said it was going nowhere.

We all saw it:

Canadians they like to peddle themselves as polite, as "world citizens". A Vancouver casino CEO and his actor wife allegedly chartered a plane to a remote community in Yukon and then misrepresented themselves as local workers in order to get the vaccine. Swine, they should be forced to emigrate to the US and become GOP supporters. Although it should be noted she is a "Russian Bride".
