Agree completely. Trump isn't articulate, quite often.

If the facts are correct this was NOT A NO-KNOCK RAID, it was a totally legitimate presentation of a warrant at a door. I'm opposed to no knock raids and think they've caused needless deaths for little gain. Now, where was the home invasion here?

Okay, I'll list the quote and make my point. I apologize if its obvious.

Mr Trump was asked by a reporter on Wednesday evening if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power "win, lose or draw" to Democrat Joe Biden. .

"I've been complaining very strongly about the ballots," Mr Trump, a Republican, said. "And the ballots are a disaster."

Really, the question is the disaster. Does it imply that Trump should commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he wins? If the election appears a "draw" and goes into litigation?

My opinion is his answer was straightforward given the ambiguity in the question. So then you get headlines that Trump will not commit to a peaceful transfer of power...

I suspect we'll have that massive mandate in favor of Trump, and all the efforts of Democrats to confuse and delay the results and bring in attorney weasels, will not matter.

Republicans are used to having to have a electoral college advantage in excess of the Democrats level of corruption, in order to win an election. This time that corruption is expected to be higher.

The very name of this thread is an example of the much seen Democratic tactic of accusing their opponent of the very thing they are doing. The push for mail in ballots is nothing but an opportunity and an active attempt to delay, obfuscate and create opportunities for litigating the election results. Trump did not do this. Democrats did this. Duhh...

Maybe not in the way you intended it, but Creepy Porn Lawyer and Porn Star Victim of Creepy Porn Lawyer definitely canceled out any past things Trump may have done.

There is no problem with determining "habitable zones" in the solar system, but they will be defined not as planets or moons, but areas within those. For example, certain areas high in the atmosphere of Venus. Certain depths in the oceans of Europa. Likely, specified areas under the surface of Mars. So forth and so on.

The Moon is unique in that it has no habitable zones, but an incredible variety of metals and elements ready to mine and use right on the surface. It is the supply depot of Earth for solar system exploration.

You might want to revise your first sentence.

Since you infer "Trump will not commit to peaceful transfer" based on his response to your first sentence, then do you have to revise your conclusions also?

I'm good with one day.

It's the lizard people, but you can't tell them with their masks on.

All exhaled air must be gathered and compressed until it fits in small drums then sent into space. Elon Musk can help.

But many parts of climate change will essentially change themselves. For example, the penguin colonies flying down to South America.

I'm not arguing the case as to what the best thing to be done might be, just saying that I'm predicting Trump is going to get the nomination and confirmation done in very short order. He's not going to pay attention to any of the delaying tactics that will come up.

A damn Kavanaugh play, even when modified for a woman candidate, isn't going to meet with any sympathy with the majority of the Senate.

But was someone to vocalize that as being racist, and particularly if the company itself admitted it? Then various existing laws and regulatory agencies kick in. Or at least in the Princeton case cited above, that is happening.

I personally think it's okay for this to get done. After what the Dems did to Kavanaugh? Let's see them try it again. My prediction is after Trump announces the choice on Saturday, next week there is Senate debate starting Monday, and by Friday, it will be over.


Sen. Mitt Romney said he would support a floor vote on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court, essentially clinching consideration of Trump’s nominee this year despite the impending election.

Just two Republican senators have asked for the party to put the breaks on the confirmation. And with a 53-seat majority, Senate Majority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) now has the votes he needs to move forward with a nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“I intend to follow the Constitution and precedent in considering the president’s nominee. If the nominee reaches the Senate floor, I intend to vote based upon their qualifications,” the Utah Republican said in a statement.
There’s not much more to add to this, since it adds up to 51 — at least for now. The writing on this wall probably came yesterday after retiring Sen. Lamar Alexander declared his intent to vote for Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick. Alexander, who usually votes with the majority but likes to work across the aisle, was one of the big votes McConnell needed in harness, pour encourager les autres in a way.

It's possible to state a 'global temperature?' It's a system with gaseous, liquid and solid components moving between each other. So these clowns think you can stick a thermometer into a chamber with a multiple phase, non equilibrium solution and take its temperature?

Makes sense to stop listening to anything they say right at that point, because that's unscientific and ridiculous. But they're claiming to roll the oceans back too...



The Poles are quite unique, weather and climate wise. The Sun comes in at a high slant range, solar energy is distributed far less per square meter. That energy can be totally absorbed if there are clouds. But there is pretty much no water vapor in the air, so CO2 might be the primary atmospheric change item.

But air moves in a big loop, equator to pole and back to equator. So few polar events happens without cause from the equatorial and mid latitudes. I'm going to make an intelligent guess here that with the low sun angle, more co2 in the polar air isn't ever going to create a marked local heating element.

So you want to take control of everyone's use of energy in order to set the temperatures at the poles? What do you want to set them to?

Have you asked the Eskimos if they'd like it warmer or colder? I firmly believe they should have a say, as well as other racial and ethnic groups living in the region. Eskimo Lives Matter!

You might be right. I thought it was a great idea, and had this cool name picked out. But you've listed so many negatives and they're all true! Anyway, the name was cool. EBAY.

"Spread through air" is inaccurate regarding the various means of transmission.

Read your linked article again.

I disagreee. We can do stupid far better than any machine. As they progress, we shall race ahead of them in Excellence in Stupid.

Likely the Dems, due to all their bad behavior the last two years, lose the house majority. What's it take, 18 to flip? And Dems have twice that many up for grabs.

Admitting your innate racism because of white guilt? Might think twice about that.

How will Princeton, having admitted that damaging, systemic racism is embedded at the university, explain to the Department of Education that it was being truthful when it said Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race? We can see the shape of a possible response in the statement Princeton issued upon receiving the Education Department’s demand for an explanation.

Princeton seems to be saying that the “systemic racism” at Princeton is the “continued effect[]” of “racial injustice and race-based inequities that persist throughout American society.” In this account, Princeton’s letter acknowledging racism and discussing ways to combat it is an attempt at “grappling honestly with the nation’s history and the current effects of systemic racism,” not an admission of discrimination by Princeton itself.

Is this a satisfactory defense? I don’t think so.

Suppose a manufacturer admitted that damaging systemic racism is embedded at its plant. It would not be much of a defense to say that the racism of the plant is a byproduct of racism that persists throughout society. An institution cannot duck responsibility that easily.

The same would be true of a manufacturer that admitted its factory is a hostile work environment for female employees. It would not be sufficient to blame the hostile treatment of women — in other words, the sexual harassment — on societal sexism in general or the long history of treating women as sex objects in particular.

This line of defense would be even less persuasive if, like Princeton’s president, the management team at the factory had been in place for years and had only now confessed to racism or sexism and implemented new measures to combat it.

If racism at Princeton consisted only of some students and professors holding racist views they kept to themselves, this would not mean that Princeton violated its duty under federal law not to discriminate. But Princeton confessed to much more than this. It admitted that the racism at Princeton does “damage” to “people of color” at the university.

When systemic, embedded racism does damage to members of a minority group, the damaged individuals are discriminated against. Princeton’s black students have the right to attend college without suffering damage due to their race — damage not inflicted on white students.

In reality, Princeton’s black students aren’t at a disadvantage compared to white students. In fact, they enjoy important advantages, including significantly lower admissions standards and a president who panders to many of their demands.

But that’s not how Princeton’s president seems to view the situation, and it’s not what he told the Princeton community. He’s committed to the proposition that black students are suffering due to embedded racism at the university he’s run for seven years.

I don’t think that view can be squared with the non-discrimination representations Princeton has made to the Department of Education or to others. ....
