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".

14% of American live in rural areas. The rest in Urban or suburban.

There are many countries in Europe with poverty as bad as the US. Portugal for example. They pay $6.74 a gallon for gas. In addition they don't subsidize the oil industry $20 billion a year. Odd that the GOP figures the poor in America don't need health care but need cheap gas for the cars that they seldom drive. All just part of the B.S. of the "I've got mine" party.dom drive far.

So people who believe in a powerful cannibal, pedophile, sex trafficking empire is merging with more dangerous groups.

Not....no...

US fossil fuel production is subsidized to the tune of $20 billion annually 'The U.S. Department of Agriculture simply sent him a check to compensate him for the low prices resulting from the trade war. " 'Trump money' is what we call it," Henry said. "It helped a lot. And it's my understanding, they're going to do it again.". trump money subsidies to US agriculture averages $20 billion a year. I completely agree with your general premises. Carbon taxes are in fact the best way to encourage fossil fuel use reduction. Canada in general approves that, with Alberta and Sask governments opposing. Although a substantial part of the Alta. and Sask. populations endorse the carbon tax.

Suddenly the GOP boosters are concerned about the poor in America. The next thing you know they will be concerned about the deficit! Norway would be a good country to compare with the US. In the US gas is 72 cents per liter, Norway its $1.88 a liter. Per capita the US uses 42% more oil. Norway produces twenty times more oil per capita than the US does. Norway doesn't use cheap fuel to subsidize oil companies and donations to political parties. Its sovereign wealth fund which holds the state revenues of its oil resources has $195,000 per capita. Thats called responsible government in a warming world. As compared to the I want my SUV, screw everyone else because we'll just build walls.

Dominion Voting Systems is suing Rudolph W. Giuliani, the lawyer for Donald J. Trump over his lies about vote rigging. They are asking the courts for more than $1.3 billion. "Taken together with a lawsuit the company filed this month against Sidney Powell, another lawyer who was allied with Mr. Trump, the suit represents a point-by-point rebuke of one of the more outlandish conspiracy theories surrounding last year’s election." IMO this is just more of the trump promises to create "more great jobs". I anticipate more legal matters to clean up trump's messes.
