Nadler and Swalwell are bad asses. I think Swalwell was a marine.

They're both on committees that have investigated Trump's corruptions.

El Niño pushes allows the jet stream to move further south over hurricane tracks. The jet stream shears the tops of the hurricanes, hindering their development. La nina doesnt cause any negative effects on hurricanes.

Warm water is the engine. The hurricane alley is already at normal August temps. Hurricane season usually starts in August. We do not have the jet stream wind shears we had last year. Last year was also record high water temps.

I expect it to be historically bad, but I'm a doomer. The start of 5 month hurricane seasons. June to November

Google the atlantics 2018/2019 article, "History of Paul Manafort"

Dude is the biggest traitor the US has seen in decades. Let alone his deep anti-democratic leanings. Thief and a liar and a traitor. And Trump pardoned him and wants to rehire him.

This is the clearest short answer.

They're hitting 110s and 120s F from Africa all the way to Indonesia. There's billions of people affected. And it's humid there. A lot of the world is gonna be unlivable for the unfit before I could raise a child to adulthood.

And a far as the crazy storms. Yes, an extra 2C in the overall system has already shown the power to drop 500mm rain storms all over the world. The hurricane season this year will be telling. The southern Atlantic just had a tropical cyclone last year. There is no monitoring agency for south Atlantic storms because they're so unheard of.

Convicted felon, money launderer, employee of FBI wanted oligarch, decades long career as a political consultant for dictators, main partner in ukraine is a known Russian intelligence agent to whom he handed the entire GOP voter database.

GOP top strategist.

But Cohen is still trashing Trump in public, so they're still going after him.

Serving Donald, not the people. Fuck Comer and Jordan and the entire GOP for standing behind their constant lies and attacks on democracy.

There is a direct line between Russian style corruption and Trump's corruption via Paul Manafort, who crafted pro Kremlin policy in Ukraine for 10+ years before becoming Trump's first campaign manager. Not to mention Trump's 40+ year history with Manafort and his former partner, Roger Stone. Both of whom are felons, with multiple convictions of campaign finance violations, money laundering, witness intimidation etc. Manafort handed the entire GOP internal voter data to a known Russian spy in 2016.

I'm a firm believer that every penny the Federalist Society has spent over the last 50 years needs to be scrutinized. The judges they groomed need to be removed. The Heritage Foundation / Federalist Society / Council for National Policy plans are not compatible with free democracy.

But Trumpers have been telling me, without evidence, that the IRS was targeting middle class white people.

Real story. They tripled the audit rate of people with complex webs of companies, and doubled the audit rate of the wealthiest.

Trump should probably be audited with his self-proclaimed 500+ shell companies.

Blah blah Russian talking points.

Both sides are bad BS. Trump's lifelong history of fraud and litany of associates with felonies are the same as Biden, whose closest advisors are not all felons.

Biden who is responding to pressure to distance ourselves from Israel's genocide is the same as Trump saying "Israel should finish the job"

Your "uncomfortable truths" and "study of history" are talking points designed to increase strife in the US. The assertions don't stand up to scrutiny and are being used as malicious disinformation.

Liberals are not the fascists. That's a projection line that fascists use.

Some estimates are closer to 95%. The USA was built on a swamp. Basically, the entire east coast is a marshy wetland.

"Outdated regulations"

Thr supreme court just gutted the EPAs ability to monitor wetlands. They did this over a lawsuit for a single home in Idaho that someone wanted to build. So the SC said the EPA can't regulate wetlands, which feed directly into waterways.

The right said it was a victory for individuals. But really, it was a way to allow mega corps to pollute freely.

True, but I still think the majority of the sentences are too light. Especially for LEOs and ex-military.

Here's to hoping those wheels of justice make it to the financers and directors of the coup.

Yea it's not just putins oligarchs funding troll farms. One of Trump's allies was busted running a troll farm out of Arizona. One of the Proud Boys main impacts has been meme farming. Roger Stone and Steve Bannon were involved with American billionaires, the Mercers, with Cambridge Analytica, and were able to blanket 150 million Americans with propaganda in 2016. There were groups in the top 5 Women, African American, native American, and leftist subs that were ran out of troll farms to divide and suppress the vote. Trump allies have been caught running illegal phone campaigns on minority areas and their politicians defund minority voting district resources.

The Russians are only a small part of this. The Internet Research Agency is the Russians' main troll farm agency. The US has our own. As do all other major countries.

TLDR; She'll introduce it next week. It will get tabled. Dems won't back the ousting. If it does make it to a vote, (Rs don't have the votes), Dems won't step in to save Mike. They'll probably be able to get Jefferies as speaker of the Rs oust their speaker again.

Condensed article

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday morning triggered her motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as the top leader of the House, announcing she wants an imminent floor vote on the speaker’s future.

“Mike Johnson is not capable of that job. He has proven it over and over again,” Greene said, saying she wants to see the lawmakers vote on the record. “Now we have [Democratic leader] Hakeem Jeffries coming out over and over again, embracing Mike Johnson with a warm hug and a big wet sloppy kiss...they want to keep the band together.”

Besides Greene and Massie, Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.), is the only other Republican lawmaker publicly supportive of the removal effort

Greene announced during a morning news conference that she is formally bringing up her motion next week. She intends to act under special rules forcing the House to vote on the motion within two full legislative days. The House is set to adjourn Wednesday evening and it’s unclear when Republican leadership will bring up the vote.

Democrats have pledged to support an effort to “table” Greene’s motion, effectively killing the measure if it works. The House GOP leadership would schedule a vote on Greene’s action, but a move to table it would come first. If that isn’t successful, only then would a final vote occur to oust Johnson — and Democrats have said they won’t intervene to save the speaker in that case.

New Confessions of an Economic Hitman is exactly about this.

Trick developing countries into accepting massive loads of debt, if and when they can't repay, the indebted countries become servants of the US corporate rule. The leaders are made fabulously wealthy for selling out their country.

If the countries don't sign onto massive contracts with US companies, send in the jackals (CIA). if the jackals can't get it done, send in the military.

That's essentially the playbook since the 1950s.

The HBO show The Regime pretty much plays this out. You never really see the Americans in the show, but they're in contact with the rich and those close to power. When the regime doesn't bow to the US, civil opposition seems to escalate quickly and find ways to arm/train itself.

I thought that ship sailed in 2019, but here we are 5 years later, and this treasonous drunk pig is still free.

"We're going to investigate nepotism in the White House!"

"Like Kushner's 2 billion from the Saudis with his security clearance failure?"

"No. Hunters penis."

As your representative, James Comey, I will waste millions of dollars and precious, time-sensitive investigation powers to promote a completely false impeachment against Biden. When it comes out that our star witness is an admitted Russian agent who coordinated with my fellow Republicans, I will blame Biden, without evidence, for crimes that Trump and Republicans have committed.

Unbelievable scumbags, these Republicans. Absolutely no shame.

If this is April, yikes. July and August are going to be apocalyptic. This may be the year that the reality hits a lot of people. The wetbulb forecast from western India to Indonesia is consistently in the 80s. In April.

95°F for 6 hours kills healthy people.

This is the coolest OC I've seen on the sub in a while.
