Trump calls again for blackmailing Ukraine – echoing what got him impeached

"He mentioned at his rally he’s got grassroots support and many of his donations are less than $50" Do these grassroots supporters know that much of their donations go towards his legal fee's due to his many indictments bought about by the evidence against him breaking the law?

Interesting, seeing as Trump used the same term after his election loss: Trump Says He’ll Appropriate ‘The Big Lie’ To Refer To His Election Loss Former President Donald Trump on Monday announced he’ll begin to use the term “the big lie” – commonly used by his critics to describe his baseless election fraud claims – to refer to the 2020 election results, a sign he has no plans to tone down his rhetoric as one social media platform adjudicates his suspension. In a statement sent through his political action committee, Save America PAC, Trump incorrectly blasted his loss in November as “The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020” and said it “will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!” https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2021/05/03/trump-says-hell-appropriate-the-big-lie-to-refer-to-his-election-loss/?sh=6c4a514e5584

Apparently becoming endemic in Florida Rising evidence is pointing to the possibility that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern U.S. with Florida being named among the top reported states. The number of reported leprosy cases across the country has doubled over the past decade, according to the CDC. Citing data from the National Hansen’s Disease Program, the CDC says there were 159 new cases reported in the U.S. in 2020, nearly 70% of these new cases were reported in Florida, California, Louisiana, Hawaii, New York and Texas. Florida stands out in the report for two reasons: Central Florida alone accounted for nearly 20% of the total number of cases reported nationally and several new-case patients in central Florida demonstrated no clear evidence of zoonotic exposure or traditionally known risk factors. https://www.pnj.com/story/news/2023/07/28/florida-leprosy-hansens-disease-cases-endemic-what-to-know/70481451007/

Its not going unnoticed: America's aging leaders on display The 118th Congress is one of the oldest in U.S. history — and drives debates about fitness for office, term limits and ageism. The big picture: Top House Democrats stepped aside late last year to make room for a younger generation of leaders — a shift that's been less apparent in the Senate, particularly among Republicans. Those Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "made way for a younger generation of leadership," John Mark Hansen, a political science professor at the University of Chicago, told Axios. "And that's pretty unusual and pretty striking." https://www.axios.com/2023/07/28/congress-gerontocracy-age-mcconnell-feinstein

The Trump supporters infighting with the white nationalists and those opposed has already started. Police stop pro-Trump groups from fighting each other at wild California GOP event “Later, two pro-Trump factions began screaming at each other, with one accusing the other of being white nationalists and the other responding that their foes supported open borders... They started jostling with one another and nearly came to blows until other protesters stepped between the two groups.” Apparently, the Trump backers outside the meeting were no angrier than were the supporters of his rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, inside the room. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/police-stop-pro-trump-groups-from-fighting-each-other-at-wild-california-gop-event/ar-AA1ex0AW

More strikes in Moscow by Ukraine drones, ok apparently they were shot down so would have missed their intended target but its good that are still getting through and causing damage. Live: Russia downs three Ukrainian drones over Moscow, defence ministry says Russia’s defence ministry said that three Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow early on Sunday, the TASS news agency reported. One drone was destroyed in the air and two others crashed in Moscow, the ministry said. The attack damaged two buildings and temporarily suspended flights at Vnukovo airport.

Its not just images but general spam AI Junk Is Starting to Pollute the Internet In early May, the news site rating company NewsGuard found 49 fake news websites that were using AI to generate content. By the end of June, the tally had hit 277, according to Gordon Crovitz, the company’s co-founder. “This is growing exponentially,” Crovitz said. The sites appear to have been created to make money through Google’s online advertising network, said Crovitz, formerly a columnist and a publisher at The Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/chatgpt-already-floods-some-corners-of-the-internet-with-spam-its-just-the-beginning-9c86ea25 https://archive.ph/vhifn

It hits you when its someone close to home. I'm with you, thoughts for the missing and those that have lost loved ones including parents, unfortunately the death toll will no doubt rise quite a lot yet.

Thank you for the confirmation of my post and the facts that it was a private company. But yes I do know where the Nile is, I've travelled on it a couple of time.

He's getting the Christians onside. 'A spiritual war': Are Christian nationalists threatening to turn the US into a religious state? While it is not a new concept, some experts argue it has gone from a fringe ideology to a force in Donald Trump's Republican party and is now a threat to the very fabric of American democracy. One professor said the movement uses Christian ideals to mask racist ideas, but others say the Christian nationalist label is simply used to dismiss any Christians who want to be involved in politics. More than half of Republicans are at least sympathetic to Christian nationalist ideas, according to a recent survey. https://news.sky.com/story/a-spiritual-war-are-christian-nationalists-threatening-to-turn-the-us-into-a-religious-state-12924092

No & it is also on many others but I won't waste my time with your nonsense any longer https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/05/07/broad-agreement-in-u-s-even-among-partisans-on-which-news-outlets-are-part-of-the-mainstream-media/

I quoted my post from an ABC article, its the #1 msm news site in the US. Your claim that "Maybe it doesn't even exist?" is pure nonsense

You mean this chappie Neil Oliver? BBC Meteorologist Takes Apart GB News Host's Climate Denial With Facts A BBC meteorologist has effortlessly dismantled a GB News host’s denials about climate change, just by pointing out how weather forecasting works. On Monday evening, after wildfires were reported across Greek islands as southern Europe endured yet another day of the current heatwave, TV presenter Neil Oliver tried to debunk climate concerns as fearmongering. He claimed the “terrifying temperatures that were being predicted all starting with a 4, with a 40-this and a 40-that” supposedly all began with a satellite picture which looked at ground temperature. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bbc-meteorologist-gb-news-climate-change-denial_uk_64bfbb5fe4b08a8c9211c1ef

When you imply that NASA is making ad hoc narratives and liken them to a scientific nomenklatura then it sort of gives the game away that you have nothing but words and no credible links to further your debate.

Just for him? Why conceal it? “This failure to release a transcript is the latest in your troubling pattern of concealing key evidence in order to advance a false and distorted narrative about your ‘investigation of Joe Biden’ that has not only failed to develop any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden but has, in fact, uncovered substantial evidence to the contrary,” Raskin wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/democrats-claim-gop-withholding-evidence-contradicting-claims-hunter-101769266

"Yes but I don't believe in that narrative." Right you just believe with no science behind that belief which puts you at odds with the experts who I prefer to believe and have provided actual facts.

One of the “smoking guns” that tells us the Sun is not causing global warming comes from looking at the amount of solar energy that hits the top of the atmosphere. Since 1978, scientists have been tracking this using sensors on satellites, which tell us that there has been no upward trend in the amount of solar energy reaching our planet. https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/14/is-the-sun-causing-global-warming/

You should probably read the post a few above before telling me to get a grip.

Global warming is more than clear cut but here's why they changed it: But temperature change itself isn't the most severe effect of changing climate. Changes to precipitation patterns and sea level are likely to have much greater human impact than the higher temperatures alone. For this reason, scientific research on climate change encompasses far more than surface temperature change. So "global climate change" is the more scientifically accurate term. Like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we've chosen to emphasize global climate change on this website, and not global warming. https://gpm.nasa.gov/education/articles/whats-name-global-warming-vs-climate-change

From 1972. I wonder what those 42 scientists would say now after all these records are being broken

Nope, he's a one man crime wave but could still be president even from prison...........lol

You were the one that brought asphalt and concrete, where did you get that info from that they are included when taking Global temperatures? Where do global temperature data come from? Modern observations mostly come from weather stations, weather balloons, radars, ships and buoys, and satellites. https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/35/where-do-global-temperature-data-come-from/ Explainer: How do scientists measure global temperature? To get a complete picture of Earth’s temperature, scientists combine measurements from the air above land and the ocean surface collected by ships, buoys and sometimes satellites, too. https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-how-do-scientists-measure-global-temperature/

Only the hardcore MAGA still support Trump. Glenn Ivey on new Trump charges in documents case: ‘I don’t think it’s making him stronger’ Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) said he doesn’t think the legal challenges former President Donald Trump faces will help the 2024 GOP frontrunner in a general election. Ivey, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, said he thinks the troubles with the law the former president faces are reinforcing his support only among “hardcore” Republican voters. Ivey said the challenges are “ensuring” a Biden win in another head-to-head matchup between the 2020 rivals. “I don’t think it’s making him stronger for the general election next November,” Ivey said on “The Hill” on NewsNation Friday. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4126047-glenn-ivey-on-new-trump-charges-in-documents-case-i-dont-think-its-making-him-stronger/
