[Now that the impeachment kabuki has ended, the Senate trial will begin. But before that can proceed, Pelosi will try to squeeze some more preconditions out of McConnell before forwarding the House’s articles of impeachment. The cynical humor of the whole process goes on with Democrats continuing to accuse Republicans of unfairness along every step of the way, paying no never mind to having conducted the most blatantly partisan, unfair, and corrupt congressional circus in Congress’s long history. But the real story is again the ever-widening chasm between what now clearly are two Americas attempting to share the same government and territory while holding diametrically opposite worldviews and objectives. gjr]

ChetD 339pm - The intellectual pace of these comment threads are clearly a challenge for you. You totally lost this thread's topic - it was not about my lauding liberals, it was about you seeing only the rightwingers here being a bit crude in their characterization of the leftwingers who are equally crude (but, of course, invisible to you) in turn. But again, take heart, none of your cohorts in these pages (and I notice also on other blogs and the broadcast media) can understand the topic or stay on it. How did you do on those IQ tests that asked what is the main point of an illustrated paragraph?

Castaneda 401pm - Are you familiar with political rallies and their content? You should study them a bit - both Repub and Dem rallies - so you wouldn't be so surprised in the future. Especially displaying such naivete in front of all the folks you contend with daily as you try to show your acumen about these affairs.
(Now for all our rightwing commenters; I could just have called Mr Castaneda a dumbshit, but I didn't. That's not nice and I believe he has gotten my more measured message, and so have all of you. That's what I'm trying to solicit as the level of exchange in these pages. Capice?)

OUR SINCEREST COMPLIMENTS COME FROM OUR ENEMIES
“Our effort was successful, as you can tell from this headline on DeSmog Blog, a house organ for the climate hysteria movement: “Public Comments Reveal Big Oil and Koch-backed Opposition to Minnesota’s Clean Car Standards.” Much could be said about this, but the point I want to make is that global warming hysterics never–and I mean never–argue their case on the merits. Instead, they invariably smear their opponents, usually by alleging that they are tools of the fossil fuel industries. That is what DeSmog did here:
“A DeSmog analysis found that a majority of the hundreds of comments received were supportive of the initiative, which aims to reduce the state’s transportation-sector emissions.
However, opposing comments also poured in from industry groups and citizens borrowing a script provided by a right-wing think tank tied to the petrochemical billionaire Koch network.”
That “right-wing think tank” is Center of the American Experiment, which I run. But how, exactly, are we “tied to” the Koch network? As we approach year-end, we expect to raise around $3.3 million in 2019, of which not a single dollar, so far, has come from the “Koch network.” We are supported by thousands of individual Minnesotans, a fact with which the Left is simply unable to deal. More:
“This think tank, Center of the American Experiment (CAE), has been a vocal opponent of Minnesota’s proposed clean car standards. As a member of the Koch-funded State Policy Network (SPN), the center regularly attacks clean energy and climate initiatives, just as other SPN-member organizations do in other states.”
So apparently the State Policy Network has gotten support from one or more Koch-related entities. Wow. How “tied to” the Koch network can my organization get?
Thank you! We are indeed the main source of opposition to climate hysteria in Minnesota, as DeSmog acknowledges. We patiently await any argument that may come from the governor’s office, DeSmog, or anyone else, in opposition to our position. But I am not holding my breath. When we have challenged climate hysterics to debate, they have always folded. That is the state of the climate debate in 2019.

ABC Panel Frets Over Pelosi’s Impeachment Delay, Lack of Public Interest
“Turning to Washington Post columnist Karen Tumulty, fill-in host Martha Raddatz decided to read from Tumulty hyperbolic column as if it was insightful. “If things play out as they usually do in the Trump era, all of this will soon be subsumed in the next thermonuclear burst of chaos generated by a president who cannot be chastened or shamed,” she quoted. “Once again, the House has made a notch in history. What's different this time, however, is that no one really believes anything will change as a result.”.....
“On top of trying to convince the Senate to remove President Trump from office, Moran argued that Democrats also needed to work on getting the public “interested much less actually behind the process, we are split on that.” Because, so far, “it really feels like a nothingburger to some extent.”

And then Trump said:
"We’ll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I've studied it better than anybody I know. It's very expensive. They're made in China and Germany mostly — very few made here, almost none. But they're manufactured tremendous — if you're into this — tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint — fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it's in China, Germany, it's going into the air. It's our air, their air, everything — right?"

The liberal mind...er...the progressive mind.
THE NEW YORK TIMES’ HATE AMERICA PROJECT
“Last summer, [Baquet] huddled with his staff in a town-hall-style meeting—the proceedings of which were promptly leaked—and acknowledged a sad truth: “We built our newsroom to cover one story” (the now-debunked story that Donald Trump had “colluded” with Russia to steal the 2016 election).
The story didn’t pan out. “Now we have to regroup,” Baquet told the assembled troops, “and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.” What story? Henceforth, or at least “for the next two years”—the remainder of Trump’s first term—the Times was going all in on “race, and other divisions.”
In other words, the Times couldn’t bring down Trump by harping on Russia, but maybe it can bring him down by harping on race. Or at least, in the process of trying, make Americans hate their country.
The problem with the 1619 project is that, like the Russia collusion hoax, it is delusional.

FAKE LABELS
The Washington Post reports that some Democrats are mad as hell at Pete Buttigieg for abandoning some of his previous positions — e.g., Medicare for all and decriminalizing illegal border crossings. I think Buttigieg can live with their wrath, given that his move out of the hard left lane has corresponded with a surge in the polls, both nationally and especially in Iowa.
However, the Post’s article, by Chelsea Janes, illustrates what a slippery character Buttigieg is. The small city mayor used a leftist persona to make an attention grabbing entrance to the campaign, but started tacking towards conventional liberalism when he realized that’s where most of his votes (other than gay votes) are likely to be found.
Janes notes that, according to Federal Election Commission reports, Buttigieg has spent three times as much money on polling as any other candidate in the Democratic field. This fact shows Buttigieg to be politically astute. But coupled with his shifting positions, it also suggests that he’s “a political weather vane,” to use Janes’s term, and a worm, to use mine.
Janes’s article isn’t just interesting for what it says about Buttigieg. It’s also interesting for what it says about Janes and, by extension, the Post.
Janes, who last year was writing about baseball for the Post, persists in calling the views Buttigieg has abandoned “liberal” and his current positions “centrist.” The title of her article goes so far as to claim that Democratic candidates are drifting “rightward.”
Is Medicare for all the liberal position? Is decriminalizing illegal border crossings? Is packing the Supreme Court?
I would have called Medicare for all socialist, decriminalization leftist, and court packing radical. I would have expected the Post, at a minimum, to call them progressive.
If, instead, these positions are liberal, the political ground has moved from under our feet.
And if they are liberal positions, Joe Biden, who rejects Medicare for all and decriminalizing illegal border crossings, isn’t a true liberal. Yet, Biden has been considered a liberal all of his political life and, if anything, has been moving towards leftward during this campaign.
I think Janes and the Post are calling hard leftists “liberals” because they want to be able to call Biden a centrist. It’s false advertising for the former vice president. And it’s free.
They also want the political ground to move from under our feet. Under President Trump, it may be moving some, but not in a way that makes hard leftists into liberals and Joe Biden into a centrist.
Quote, unquote
Posted by: Bill Tozer | 23 December 2019 at 10:48 AM
See? none of the Leftist dare answer the question. So it's safe to say NONE of the DEM/Socialists running against Trump can do a better job. Just destroy the progress Trump has done.

“Clinton email saga drags on in court.”
Judge Royce Lamberth expressed concern with the continuing drip-drip-drip of Hillary Clinton messages.
“Hillary Clinton’s email scandal may be a fading memory for most, but it remains a live, legal morass for at least 14 attorneys who piled into a federal judge’s courtroom in Washington on Thursday for the latest round in the never-say-die saga.
Clinton’s nemeses at the conservative legal group Judicial Watch pleaded with U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth for a chance to depose Clinton personally and to conduct a second round of questioning of Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills.”......

Oh pony tail of ignorance -
Wind turbines kill an estimated 140,000 to 328,000 birds each year in North America, making it the most threatening form of green energy. And yet, it’s also one of the most rapidly expanding energy industries: more than 49,000 individual wind turbines now exist across 39 states.

Walt @ 11:26 am
Here is the REST OF THE STORY.
A reason they are going ballistic is party due to the fact that over 200 Christian groups and influencers have condemned Christianity Today, a publication I have never heard of before, as well as neither did Punchy. The numbers are growing condemning the article and the group group exponentially.
The publication has always been a liberal outliner for decades, now into the social justice stuff.
And now you know the rest of the story.
Broad brush much?

Here you go Bonehead,,,you are as behind the times as your Dear Leader...
For two decades, the industry's threat to birds has been at the center of a highly politicized debate. Critics point to turbines killing hundreds of thousands of birds annually—mostly songbirds, but also larger species, notably Golden Eagles. The wind industry responds that those mortalities pale in comparison to the deaths caused by cats or power lines. Yet neither viewpoint captures the full picture, because the debate is complicated by a looming factor: If climate change continues apace, hundreds of North American bird species' ranges will shrink by at least half by 2100, according to Audubon's models. "Climate change is the biggest impact on birds," says Garry George, director of Audubon California's renewable energy program. The rapid deployment of clean energy will be crucial to avoiding that fate. And if wind is part of the mix—as it must be—high-tech safeguards will help ensure birds fly into that future unharmed.

Try "Hauns" True Krout spelling.
But if you want to stick to the Nazi name, go for it.
"Himmler was Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel, and a leading member of the Nazi Party of Germany. Himmler was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany and a main architect of the Holocaust."

PaulE 1129am - Paul, it will become much more believable after you read your first book on utility and practical decision making. May I recommend to your attention a classic - 'Quick Analysis for Busy Decision Makers' (1982) Behn & Vaupel. No higher math required, only arithmetic and a clear mind.
Waldo 1200pm - What has impressed you about the predictions of "Audubon's models"? How are they constructed, and have they been field tested over other climate changes? How does their performance compare to the general circulation models used to predict measurable climate parameters? Where can we find out more?

Daily Quotes for this weird time in space
Insight: “Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” —Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
Food for thought: “I think the only explanation for the sudden onset of cultural insanity and embrace of nonsense like gender identity is theological. See Romans 1:18-32. There are things unseen at work in the world.” —Erick Erickson
For the record: “Over 200 evangelical leaders have come out … against Christianity Today after their recent attack against Trump. Why isn’t CNN reporting on this as tirelessly as they did on the vicious hit job against our president? I guess it doesn’t fit their narrative.” —Charlie Kirk
Braying jackass: “Speaker Pelosi is doing exactly the right thing. She is focusing a spotlight on the need to have a fair trial in the United States Senate.” —Sen. Chris Van Hollen
A blind squirrel finds a nut: “As far as I’m concerned, [senators] can tell which way they’re leaning or how they feel in terms of the probability, but when it comes to saying, ‘I made up my mind [on impeachment], it’s all over,’ for goodness’ sakes, that is not what the Constitution envisioned.” —Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin
Alpha jackass I: “I’d like to see a bag of s—t right in [Trump’s] face.” —Robert De Niro
Alpha jackass II: “There’s not one thing about this person that has been redeeming. He’s a low life. He’s not a pig. Pigs have dignity. He has no dignity. He has nothing. He’s a disgrace to the human race.” —Robert De Niro
——————————————-
Bonus #1. Bill inserts quote:
"People ask me questions about present situations in life, and I say, 'I don’t know, I’m just an actor. I don’t have any opinions. Actors are pretty stupid. My opinion is not worth anything.
There’s no controversy for me, so don’t engage me in it, because I’m not going to participate.”
Yep, actors are pretty stupid.
—————————————————-
The BIG Lie: “The economy today is not substantially different from the economy before Trump took office.” —Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell on CNN
And last… “Exaggerated, doomsday climate predictions create ‘climate deniers’ in the same way that progressive, identity politics creates more racists.” —Steven Crowder

Wally, best you can do is cut and paste from Wikipedia but "forget" to include the name Heinrich in front of Himmler?
George says that quotes are sacrosanct on his page. Not only did you not give credit for your stolen quote, you twisted the words to support your narrative. I think you should be strongly reprimanded for trying to dupe George and his gang.

,,,Very impressed by how lightly read Trump is and the fact that power lines and cats kill far more birds than wind machines...
,,,No comment regarding Audubon models but it stands to reason that changes in discrete ecosystems and or lack of habitat could affect bird demographics...
Companies in the power generation industry are not the only culprits,,,somebody tell Trump...
"The previous fall several thousand white geese died when they landed amid a fierce storm on the Berkeley Pit, a former open-pit copper mine on the edge of Butte now designated as part of a Superfund site. Capoccia, a biology professor at Montana Tech, heads an advisory board created last year to devise protocol to prevent birds from landing in the 400-acre pool, where they can die by drinking the poisonous water."

re: 'wind machines'
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612238/wide-scale-us-wind-power-could-cause-significant-warming/
Personally, I kind of like the things, even with the problems (unreliable power, problems with power storage, hidden costs). I would suggest that anyone who really likes wind turbines should build some and sell the power to PG&E. It isn't like they really care what the source is if it's cheaper.
Like most tech being sold to the 420th Broad Street Volunteers, the answer always seems to occur before the question.
If people really cared about greenhouse gases, I expect they'd be all-in for fracking as a replacement for coal.

,,,Nader,,,equal opportunity agent but all around lowlife,,,
From 1981 through the 1990s, Nader was editor of Middle East Insight.[10] The magazine ceased publication in 2002.[11]
During the George H. W. Bush administration (1989–1993) he helped to free American hostages in Lebanon after the Iran–Contra affair.[10] During the Clinton Administration (1993–2001), Nader tried unsuccessfully to broker an Israeli–Syrian peace agreement, working with Estée Lauder heir Ronald Lauder.[10]
In the 2000s, Nader left Washington and spent most of his time in the Middle East, especially in Iraq after the 2003 Iraq invasion.[11] Since then, Nader has volunteered with U.S. politicians to act as a "shadow diplomat" connecting them to Middle Eastern officials.[10] Erik Prince, founder of security firm Blackwater, hired Nader to help with contracts with the Iraqi government; in a 2010 deposition, Prince identified Nader as a "business development consultant".[12]
In August 2016, Nader met with Donald Trump Jr. at Trump Tower offering assistance to his father's presidential campaign.[13] Nader served as an envoy representing Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammad bin Salman and Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The meeting included Erik Prince and Joel Zamel, an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation[14][13] and owner of intelligence gathering firms including Wikistrat and the Psy-Group, who bragged to have received $2 million from Nader as part of the presidential campaign.[15]
Nader attended a December 2016 meeting in New York between the United Arab Emirates officials and president-elect Donald Trump's associates Jared Kushner, Michael Flynn, and Steve Bannon.[10] In January 2017 he was at a meeting on the Seychelles islands between the Emiratis and Erik Prince, and was present when Prince met with officials from the UAE and Kirill Dmitriev, head of state-run Russian Direct Investment Fund.[10]
Working with Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy in 2017, Nader funded a conference criticizing Qatar that was hosted by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.[16] At the time Nader and Broidy were pushing the White House to remove Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whom the Saudis and Emiratis saw as insufficiently tough on Iran and Qatar.[7]
In January 2018, Nader was served a grand-jury subpoena,[17] and special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators questioned him to elicit if the UAE had tried to influence members of President Trump’s campaign.[10][18] Kathryn Ruemmler, an Obama-era White House counsel, was among the lawyers representing Nader.[1] Nader was granted immunity for information for the investigation.[7][19] ...Wiki
