Four women served with subpoenae… and they show up and testify. No fuss, no muss. So down florida way, why is the FBI having to “negotiate” with the various women who have, er, transacted with local politicians?

Not like it’s a partisan thing or anything…

Speaking of sexual scandals - nothing like Tr__p running a kompromat honeypot operation against his own National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. Eric Prince, Amway heir, Chief of Blackwater Mercenary Service Inc., Betsy DeVos’s brother -THAT GUY? Well sorry, but he’s no patriot. It’s a mercenary service for the profit and other benefit of Blackwater and its shareholders, right? Why is this not a huge scandal, already? Do we know that key FBI officials were not compromised and blackmailed by the trust-fund warlord? Was this kompromat operation conducted on the advice of a certain V. Putin? The question seems relevant, as active measures are used by Putin to propagandize so as to diminish citizen respect for institutions of democracy, thus destabilizing western democracies.

Am I a supergenius for opposing this? It seems any pro democracy person would.

Why the heck does the demon Murdock family spread Putin Propaganda? Anybody able to make sense? Talk about putting a “Tapp” on somebody’s “lines”

It looks like my non-Prime account can still post here today. I’m now operating under the impression that this is my last day to comment. I would suggest that while these articles are all important, I would also suggest that they have relatively little impact on the struggle of societies to follow . I’m not talking about Republican vs Democratic or Autocracy vs WeThePeople. All of the political stuff is very important. However, what also concerns me is the existential threat to all of us, despite the obvious denial behavior of many on the right, and the development of long-term scientifically-based policies to best address those threats.

I’m talking about the environment. Global warming. It’s real. Even Satan’s Avatar knows it, but will never admit it. How do I know this? You may recall his interest in Greenland. He wasn’t thinking about golf courses in Greenland. He was thinking about profit from real estate ventures for humanity wishing to move north where the climate will be more hospitable.

When the glaciers go bye-bye in Greenland and Antarctica, we are shit outta luck. The ocean currents will slow and the moderation of winters in Europe by the North Sea will be dramatically reduced, leading to winters similar to Siberia. The glaciers in the Himalayas will become depleted and the great rivers of Asia will flow seasonally. This will lead to significant migration unless renewable energy is used to power desalination plants and massive water pumping stations for vast pipelines to supply locations dependent on those great rivers. And there will be the threat of wars over water resources.

In the United States the lands to the west of the Mississippi river will become arid. The drought conditions in California will worsen. Sorry, but unless we successfully terraform our own planet and start removing CO2 from the atmosphere, life is going to get much harder and more expensive. All the farmlands to the west of the Mississippi will drop greatly in productivity.

Sorry to be all doom and gloom, but I don’t see an effective unified global effort to halt and reverse Global Warming occurring anytime soon.

Take good care and goodbye.

Could it have to do with having them talk rather than take the 5th?

Good point, they have unreported income liability, and possibly prostitution under state law.

Well, people aren’t paying attention to the details and can’t be bothered. Americans are too busy fighting each other, playing with cell phones and watching reality TV.

Microbes like Zika, SARS, Coronavirus, and whatever is being released by melting permafrost were here first and want their world back. :earth_americas: But take heart, Earth will win eventually because it always does. The process will be slow and painful but once we’re gone things will return to normal.

Regarding Matt Gaetz’s exploits, does a blue dress with DNA exist, like Monica’s? In this case, we might call such an evidentiary matter a Matt Splatt!

At least you’re optimistic.
I think the next few hundred thousand years after we’re gone will be very dynamic, not a gentle steady cooling back down to pre-industrialization mean temperatures.

Ok, but the procurer is pleading guilty to six counts on Monday. Unless you mean Masty? I don’t think there’s any evidence (yet) of him sugar daddying any young women outside of those he met via greenberg.
