monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

@izzythepush,

that 800000 year line is based upon CO2 levels from Greenland Ice Cores. So there is some real world data around which to compare.

Hi, Bernie. I haven't bought it yet, still deciding on getting a spanking new iMac desk top, thus making payments, or a refurbished one from two or three sources I've selected, there being pros and cons either way. Meantime, I slog along with the old mac that I've lived with for more than a decade, nursing it along - except now there is almost nothing to nurse there as it's almost completely dead.

I had sent back the Dell, too heavy by far and quite foreign to Ms. Picky.

How are you these days?

If Plump tries to fire Mueller (which would certainly require firing of assistant Atty General and two others). The GOP stated that this would be the end of the Plump regime

@izzythepush,

There are YouTube videos showing how ice is "melting" and lots of things which were buried in ice are now being exposed.

Well, there are even bodies of Italian soldiers in a mountain from WW2 exposed from melting ice.

The common idea is that ice will accumulate throughout thousands of years and be compressed continually be the layers of snow becoming ice.

But, who the hell is thinking that our planet has no variations in its climate by natural means?

An internal variation in the interior of our planet can cause the warming or cooling of the submarine water currents like "el niño" and the whole climate can change for several years and reverse the accumulation of ice and melt it for years and years.

Surely wasn't human intervention the melting of ice in the last "ice era" which left lots of traces like frozen mammoths (even with leaves in their mounts and undigested good ate recently by them).

Our planet has circles which are disparate and don't obey any human intervention, which buy the way, is an invention created by people who just love to be alarmists.

We, humans must adapt to the changes, we can't control climate, and using solar panels won't cool the weather, such is a fantasy.

@farmerman,

I don't know if it's fake news if not. I just know that I ysyalky like a little more siecufucity than saying an entire political party "says" something-or-other. It's like saying the Democrats think Hillary is s traitor, or Washington says that Russia is lying. It doesn't say anything.

Quote:

Mr Manafort, 68, has worked on several Republican presidential campaigns, beginning with Gerald Ford's in 1976.

He resigned as chairman of the Trump campaign in August 2016 after being accused of having links to a pro-Russian political party working in Ukraine. He denies any wrongdoing.

Mr Manafort was also present at a meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information on Mr Trump's rival Hillary Clinton.

Well, he "resigned" as chairman of candidate Donald Trump campaign months before the election. He was found to have links to a pro-Russian party in a foreign country.

He was present when a Russian lawyer gave notice that he can provide information against candidate Hillary Clinton.

But, he "resigned" months before the election.

In other words, he was found doing wrong things around and rather than being fired he resigned first.

If candidate Donald Trump campaign didn't agree with the performance of Mr. Manafort, the whole case won't affect president Donald Trump as guilty of anything.

POSSIBILITIES:

A deal with Mr. Manafort to accuse president Donald Trump or to his political campaign at exchange of lesser charges.

In other words, the only way to put president Donald Trump in possible trouble is by corruption, because in the deal will be no facts but the words alone of Manafort against the president when he was a candidate or against his political campaign.

At the end, the whole charges are not proving any Russian collusion, but Manafort's wrongdoings on his own.

No. There would not be anything even remotely reasonable about such a conclusion.

It would not require firing anyone else. Trump could simply abolish the entire office of the special council and that would be the end of it.

It would not be the end of the Trump regime. Trump has the legal right to do this. Any threats about his "doom" are bluffs from powerless freaks.

I'm sure someone said it. But they don't have the power to back up their words. If trump were to dissolve the office of the special council, all they could do is whine about it.

Not unless someone comes up with evidence that he committed serious crimes and then comes up with a good argument why anyone should care after Bill Clinton.

Papadopoulos had suggested that Donald Trump meet with top Russian leaders during the campaign. He pleaded guilty to making false statements during an interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I don't have any argument and I'm pretty much relaxed as I get. The information was vague, that's all.

@revelette1,

That's huge, because it represents a direct connection to Trump's campaign.

Huffington post has a little more:

Quote:

WASHINGTON ― A foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to FBI agents.

George Papadopoulos, 30, pleaded guilty on Oct. 5, 2017, but the case wasn’t unsealed until Monday, when two other Trump associates were indicted by a federal grand jury. Papadopoulos reached a plea deal with prosecutors, indicating he’s cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Prosecutors’ statement of the offense indicates that Papadopoulos “made material false statements and material omissions” during a Jan. 27, 2017, interview with the FBI.

He told the FBI an overseas professor had “told him about the Russians possessing ‘dirt’ on then-candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of ‘thousands of emails,’ but stated multiple times that he learned that information prior to joining the campaign,” according to court documents. In fact, Papadopoulos was contacted after he learned he’d be joining the campaign, and the professor only mentioned the “thousands of emails” after he’d been on the Trump campaign for more than a month.

The professor, the statement indicates, had “substantial connections to Russian government officials” even though Papadopoulos claimed the professor was “a nothing.”

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Fox News is actually trying to ignore the whole indictments story. Spending a lot of time talking about kneeling football players insulting their country. Sad.

<edit> Okay, they're a little slow on the uptake, but they are getting around to it now..,

Are you in a doctors office being forced to watch Fox? Just kidding. I have it on MSNBC. Only watch tv news on days like today.

LOL
I try to make it a point to keep an eye on what kinds of things they report and how they report them. It helps to know how the other side thinks.
