I do hope that whoever the future Republican nominee is, that they endorse what Wyoming has done. We saw how well the abortion issue played for the Republicans in the midterms. It's going to be interesting to see how they wriggle on that issue.

Neither impeachment nor trial in the Senate are criminal processes. And one crucial way they differ is that the juries are not vetted and selected from a larger pool to warrant their impartiality.

Got some news for you. According to Justice Dept. Policy, a sitting President can't be prosecuted for a crime while in office. So those first 4 years don't count. Second, since then, Trump's teams of lawyers have done their best to delay proceedings against him. This has, on occasion, earned them severe reproaches from judges. Most of their attempts ultimately fail, but it does eat up a lot of time. And while he hasn't yet been found guilty, the business he headed, the Trump Organization, was indicted on 17 criminal counts and was found guilty only of 17 of them.

Funny. If it's the best thing that could have happened to him, why has his legal team gone to such extraordinary lengths to prevent it from happening?

How about a president who would rather pay off someone rather than that the truth be revealed? Would you really want such a person in office?

I think those of us who take seriously the threat posed by Trump should be very concerned about Musk's electoral prediction: Elon Musk says he voted Republican for the first time in Texas congressional race, predicts a 'massive red wave' in 2022 midterms https://www.businessinsider.com/musk-says-voted-gop-first-time-predicts-midterm-red-wave-2022-6

I think if a law is going to result in more more misery and deaths, then certainly to those with a religious bent it could be described as sinful. But "evil" is another word that comes to mind. Just to be clear, GAHT stands for Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy. Association of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy With Depression, Thoughts of Suicide, and Attempted Suicide Among Transgender and Nonbinary Youth Use of GAHT was associated with lower odds of recent depression (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = .73, p < .001) and seriously considering suicide (aOR = .74, p < .001) compared to those who wanted GAHT but did not receive it. For youth under age 18, GAHT was associated with lower odds of recent depression (aOR = .61, p < .01) and of a past-year suicide attempt (aOR = .62, p < .05). https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(21)00568-1/fulltext

Whether it's true or not, it's not evidence of any criminal activity by Biden which is an unsupported belief rampant among right wingers.

Obvious attempt at deflection. This isn't about what Credo says but what virtually all climate scientists subscribe to. . You're the one who challenged me about that 99.9% figure, and when I prove that it's got nothing to do with a "disinfectant ad", and I provide the link you ask for, you just continue to deflect anyway. You've got nothing.

I do. You've made it clear you don't.

I guess "No, it's not" technically qualifies a rebuttal. But you clearly don't understand what inane means. Since your rebuttal offers no reasoning or factual content, it's lacking significance. And "lacking significance" is a definition of "inane."

More than 99.9% of studies agree: Humans caused climate change More than 99.9% of peer-reviewed scientific papers agree that climate change is mainly caused by humans, according to a new survey of 88,125 climate-related studies. The research updates a similar 2013 paper revealing that 97% of studies published between 1991 and 2012 supported the idea that human activities are altering Earth’s climate. The current survey examines the literature published from 2012 to November 2020 to explore whether the consensus has changed. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change

Let's assume that this deal was, as you aver, blackmail. So Trump has been shown to be susceptible to blackmail. What about if a blackmailer didn't want money but something else from Trump when he was President? Would he have caved in to those demands, too?

But the question is how frequent are these spontaneous fires as opposed to ones caused by accidents. We do know , EVs are far far less likely to burn than ICE vehicles.

I remember when all sorts of predictions were made about how the dire and violent consequences that would follow from the FBI search of Mar a Lago. As it turns out, Trump supporters couldn't even muster a decent sized protest there. It was also prophesied that the search would have dire consequences for the Democrats in the midterm. How did that turn out?

Apparently, you're making the assumption that first that occur in most have nothing to do with accidents. That seems to be a dubious assumption.

So I guess the ratio of 61 ICE fires to 1 EV fire is insignificant

Yes Greta Thunberg did post that. Not only isn't she a scientist but she didn't accurately represent what that scientist said. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/greta-thunberg-deleted-2018-tweet-on-humanity/ What's more, even her comment taken as read does not claim that humanity will be wiped out in five years. You really should learn to read more carefully.

Well, who knows, someone may have said such a thing. The real issue is what does the science say?

Because there's no evidence that Biden knew he had them in his possession. And it's only a crime if you can prove someone willfully refused to hand over documents. It's also a crime to lie about continued possession of said documents. That's called obstruction of justice.

Clueless. Of course they want to establish how Trump reacted after he agreed to turn over all unauthorized documents to the National Archives.

In this article the state said that the hair follicle tests showed the parents testing positive for amphetamines, oxycodone, and fentanyl "The attorney of the family planned to change the results of the hair follicle tests on the suggestion of experts that the test conducted on the couple is known to generate too many false positives. However, they were told by child services that it will not be possible to challenge the results as the drug court does not hold onto them."

If only there were some independent source that backed up what he said. Like maybe the ICC.

Your comments are very confused. Dominion need prove no such thing about voter ID. Even if that was a valid complaint, and to date no state investigations have uncovered anything more than a handful of fraudulent ID cases., that has nothing to do with whether Dominion machines were in some ways rigged, And given the nature of the accusations against Dominion such charges tying it to Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and the machinatios of George Soros and the Clintons, there's plenty of evidence of defamation. You know, reckless disregard of the truth.

Maybe if we shared your version of alternative reality we might be aware of that. But those of us who dwell in the real world know that this is false. We know that the Ukrainians were desperately pleading for the weapons that Congress had authorized be sent to them to use against the the Russian supported secession.. Trump ignored their pleas for months. It took threats from Congress to take the issue to court and a meeting with Zelensky to get Trump to release those weapons. This was the meeting in which Trump asked Zelensky to do him a favor and investigate Biden.
