Glacier National Park is like a Canadian national park W/O the mosquitoes.The complete absence of humming mosquitoes on the side of the tent, no howling wolves or coyotes. Made it difficult to fall asleep at night.

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for prosecutors in New York to see President Trump’s financial records, a stunning defeat for Mr. Trump but a decision that probably means the records will be shielded from public scrutiny under grand jury secrecy rules until after the election, and perhaps indefinitely. In a separate decision, the court ruled that Congress could not, at least for now, see many of the same records. The vote in both cases was 7 to 2. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote both majority opinions. The court’s decision in favor of the New York prosecutors was a major statement on the scope and limits of presidential power, one that will take its place with landmark rulings that required President Richard M. Nixon to turn over tapes of Oval Office conversations and forced President Bill Clinton to provide evidence in a sexual harassment suit. Net loss for Benedict Donald

So it could improve the cognitive function of the current Benedict-donald.

No I didn't write the new Lincoln Project video, or did I? Assh*%es refused my cc donation though. Some stupid law or another. I messaged them that the law doesn't matter to trump why should it for me. But that made no difference. Pffff , integrity.

Deciphering Ron, RT, Q and all the rest isn't worth my time. I'm sure the FBI and CIA have some people on the job. There is a clear link IMO between Ron's post and the RT one. The story has further to run and either RT or Q can go ahead W/O me into the conspiracy zone.

Well maintaining the narrative is worth all costs. RT is involved in the formation of the narrative. RT has an interesting tag line "Question More" and "Q"'s followers motto is "Question Everything". Seems if Mr Putin is wagging the tail and patriotic Americans are following every wag. Nodding their heads in unison with the instructions from the Kremlin.

Those boogaloo boys and trump supporters need to stop such vandalism. Trump Attacks Anti-Fascists But Is Silent on Boogaloo & Far-Right Groups Engaged in Deadly Violence Boogaloo Boys Aim to Provoke 2nd US Civil War Far-right radicals visit violence on police in the U.S. "A massive demonstration over the police killing of George Floyd had been going on nearby. And that, allegedly, was the distraction Carrillo had been seeking, with police resources focused on preventing rioting and looting. The trigger point, as well. “It’s on our coast now, this needs to be nationwide,’’ Carillo had posted in a group chat, referring to a YouTube video showing a crowd of protesters attacking two California Highway Patrol vehicles. “It’s a great opportunity to target the specialty soup bois. Keep that energy going.” “Let’s boogie!” replied Robert Alvin Justus Jr., who was all-in on the scheme, as the getaway driver. Bois: Another term for “boys,” as in Boogaloo Bois. Soup: Shorthand for the “alphabet soup’’ of law enforcement agencies: FBI, ATF, Federal Protective Service (FPS). Carrillo hated police." Boogaloo: The movement behind recent violent attacks

trump and his supporters bemoan the fact that there was $13 million raised in the Go-Fund-me effort for Floyd. Then to top it off Floyd Mayweather paid for the casket. trump of course loves gold, anything gold. His financially challenged supporters have the $13 million to deal with then the donation of the casket. Knowing that they will never have so many to mourn their loss. trump's death will probably be met with cheering and celebration. Then the issues that Floyd is Black and celebrated for a uprising of conscious that they can't understand. Because "white power" blinds them to the support Floyd enjoys. They need to go back to Tucker Carlson to understand these bubbling grievances. Tucker will bring clarity to their empty minds so befuddled by a casket.

"Scientists have relatively low confidence in detecting a link between tornado activity and climate change. They cannot exclude the possibility of a link; rather, the science is so uncertain that they simply do not know at this point." The story you quote starts off with two big lies. "In two articles published this past week here at Climate Realism, we showed how Al Gore’s predictions about melting glaciers in Glacier National Park and disappearing snows at Mt. Kilimanjaro have proven spectacularly wrong." Retreat of Glaciers in Glacier National Park I need a kick in the head for falling into the trap, again.

Outstanding examples yet US service personnel continue to support trump and his GOP enablers.

Ron, all you need to understand. Turtle, narrative over facts, lies over science and truth,all you need to understand.

I agree and the story in the NYT brings some address to these ideas. IMO this is a US political development. What missing from the equation are so called "compassionate conservatives" or middle ground conservatives. Ones who believe in global warming but may object to huge projects to address it without the equal sacrifice of other countries. There are conservatives who believe in science, who are political moderates. But trump, FOX, etc. have silenced their voices.

The NYT has a good story delving into psychology, genetics and any other factors that may play into political polarization. IMO the psychology of a person is the first place to start in dealing with someone. Putin can certainly tell you that. Its labeled as an opinion piece but makes use of extensive social studies that it references. How Could Human Nature Have Become This Politicized?

There is no testimony in any of the complaints from victims of his sex trafficking that "dungeons" were involved.Or that physical restraints were used. Ron sometimes I think you believe anything.

Biden "American politician who served as the 47th vice president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1973 to 2009." trump nah, no comparison to the stupidity and damage to America. Owning up to a mistake is one of the lessor issues with trump. trump will be gone in 118 days and then the pardons for his fellow criminals will pour forth.

OK thanks for that. But you're not a stupid person so I can only conclude you're back to you're old habit of cherry picking data.As your story says this is cereal production. A small segment of world food supply and that increase is due to increased acreage and what appears to be an Australian bumper crop. Increased seeded acreage means lessor acres to oil-seeds and other crops. Global food markets still brace for uncertainty in 2020/21 because of COVID-19 says FAO It appears that the impact of covid is having a greater impact than weather this year. 07 May 2020, Rome - World food commodity prices declined for the third month in a row during April, as the economic and logistical impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant contractions in demand for many commodities. The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks international prices of the most commonly-traded food commodities, averaged 165.5 points in April, some 3.4 percent lower than the previous month and 3 percent lower than April 2019.

From the Story. "At the White House, the press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, refused to address the Putin bombshell and instead questioned the authenticity of Mary Trump’s memoir. “No one named Donald trump has ever actually read a book,” McEnany said."

The new book about trump explains allot. 1. trump's stupidity. He paid someone to take his SAT. Which allowed him (with money from daddy) to get into Wharton. Where previously I supplied the quote in these forums from one of his ex-professors. Who stated "He is the stupidest student I ever had by far". 2. “Cheating as a way of life.” Cheated at school, in business, cheated on his income tax, cheated his own family and to get elected. 3. She is a clinical psychologist intimately familiar with donald.. The diagnosis is final he is a narcissist. 4.His sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, a retired federal appeals court judge, “He’s a clown — this will never happen,” she quotes her aunt as saying during one of their regular lunches in 2015, just after Mr. Trump announced that he was running for president. Maryanne Trump was particularly baffled by support for her brother among evangelical Christians, according to the book. “The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there,” Ms. Trump quotes her aunt as saying. “It’s mind boggling. But that’s all about his base. He has no principles. None!” I could go on. But don't want to spoil the lies coming from his base.

Proof please. You and Turtle are infamous for making representations without proof.Furthermore flooding causes more damages than tornadoes.

I have personally started two threads for the positive attributes of trump they both died due to lack of content. How Germany Fell Back in Love With Angela Merkel. The pandemic has burnished the chancellor’s reputation as one of the country’s best leaders. "When the virus hit, neither Ms. Merkel nor the federal government were technically in charge. Most of the decisive constitutional powers — closing schools or ordering people to stay home — lay with Germany’s 16 federal states. But the chancellor immediately assumed a leading role, coordinating regular exchanges between the heads of the federal states, pushing for equal regulations across the country and convening top scientists. She grasped the severity of the situation very early. Helge Braun, her chief of staff, told me that when he learned in mid-January that the new virus could be transmitted by humans, Ms. Merkel immediately understood the possible implications." and then America has trump. The anti-science president. No link is necessary to reference that fact. No link necessary to his personal incompetence.

The Lincoln Project scores another home run. Whispers

Only one straw is necessary for a trump supporter to fixate on. While nearby an entire field of bales shows the food for thought.

There will be more instances "Q" and right wing radicals, using vehicles to run over peaceful protestors first. Q and other groups like it continue to talk about arming, stockpiling more ammo. Preparing for armed resistance to the exercise of the rights of others. Yet still want to dress in the flag.Because it paints them with a self serving white narrative.

Says the pot to the pan.
