Large swathes of Asia are sweltering through record breaking temperatures https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/19/asia/asia-heat-records-intl-hnk/index.html

More chance of an asteroid the size of a bus striking the white house next week.

On Saturday, CNN reported that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has chosen to not voluntarily testify before senators who have questions about how the nation's highest court is dealing with the growing controversies swirling around Justice Clarence Thomas. https://www.rawstory.com/john-roberts-clarence-thomas/

The Georgia State Elections Board revealed Wednesday that the board has asked the FBI to participate in an ongoing criminal investigation into the voting system breach in Coffee County because of similarities between what happened there and incidents in other states. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/28/politics/georgia-state-elections-board-seeks-fbi-help-in-criminal-investigation-of-voting-system-breach-after-2020-election/index.html Atlanta-area prosecutors are considering bringing racketeering and conspiracy charges in connection with Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/20/politics/georgia-racketeering-conspiracy-trump-willis/index.html "What we have here is the unauthorized access to this privileged computer data. And this is a series of crimes, a pattern of criminal activity, then it could possibly violate the Georgia RICO statute, which criminalizes a series of criminal activities by the same person or group of persons, so there's a lot of stake here," he added. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-georgia-election-interference/

I think it may happen after the next election. It seems the abortion and gun nut extremists are about to get wiped off the map. Along with all the other pet far right issues dominating right wing politics at the moment.

Karma even.

I think about that every time I pass a beggar on the street.

The worst electoral system in the developed world where a handful of hillbillies from Hicksville get as much voting power as millions in New York. "In 2020, despite the 7 million-vote victory that Joe Biden won in the popular vote, people overlook the fact that 45,000 votes switch in the three key battleground states, and you're looking at a second term of Donald Trump," he said. "I mean, the fact that you could have the entire outcome of the election ride on 45,000 votes in three random states is, you know, just a huge, glaring vulnerability for any republic." "Republican presidential candidates have won the national popular vote only once in the last 32 years," https://www.npr.org/2021/06/10/1002594108/a-growing-number-of-critics-raise-alarms-about-the-electoral-college

I don't moralise or lose any sleep over it one way or the other. Most of those girls have a family to support.

Donald Trump Swerves In-Person Iowa Appearance As Pressure Mounts "On day one of my new administration, I will direct the DOJ to investigate every radical DA and attorney general in the country for their illegal, racist-in-reverse enforcement of the law," he said. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-swerves-person-iowa-appearance-pressure-mounts-1796046

You should see a slight dip in the graphs, similar to the dip seen after Mt Pinatubo erupted. It will only be a dip though because flight numbers have returned to normal now.

I grew up in the same latitude as Pattaya. Last year I barely used the aircon. The last few weeks it's been on non stop, albeit set at 29 degrees. I think this afternoon felt slightly cooler than it has in a while.

The reason Biden beat him by 8 million votes after he himself scored a record turnout isn't rocket science. Yet many believe that record turnout was itself justification for believing the election was rigged.

Yes, apparently it did. Do you remember seeing those memes with Paris visible from a bedroom window in Alaska or somewhere far away? Seriously, there was a marked improvement in air quality because aircraft weren't flying. I think it would have had a lasting effect at least for a few years like Mt Pinatubo did by cooling the planet for about 2 years. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/emmanuelfelton/coronavirus-meme-nature-is-healing-we-are-the-virus

The Little Ice Age and it's relevance to man made global warming has been discussed before. Sad that you need to do it again. Same argument but the doubters still can't get the memo, so to speak.

I saw what you did there.

It's disappointing that we need to relitigate facts with climate change deniers over and over again.

Anytime you want to invest in shares at 10 times book value I'll be happy to trot them out again.

If you do you'll meet plenty of people with no brains.

TSLA and NVDA would be a fool's bet at present. I think a short would be sensible right now.

A new poll found that 70 percent of Americans, including 44 percent of Republicans, do not want former President Trump to make a White House run in 2024. The poll, released Thursday from The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s research center NORC, also found that 93 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of independents do not want Trump to run. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3964145-44-percent-of-republicans-dont-want-trump-to-run-for-reelection-poll/

Off topic deflection as usual. The topic is about innocent young people being unjustifiably shot by morons.

While I'm tempted to believe the other was Coney-Barret my logical self thinks it was probably Alito. I couldn't be bothered checking. edit: Yes it was Alito
