For your information. A Beast piece.

US climate change speeding up?

cozietoesie · 08/08/2017 14:42

Sorry. That's a borrowed piece from the NYT. The linked NYT full piece is worth reading.

Raising the debt ceiling isn't going away, BTW. And that's 'Business as usual'.

Ouais my DD is there for about 10 days and so looking forward to it. It's just a bit unnerving with Trump at the helm and his fondness for diversionary tactics...

His attacks on Blumenthal along with other things has not gone down well with the Vets Assoc

What is appalling is the fact he's blocked @VoteVets on Twitter. That's 500,000 military veterans and families, but they say they will NOT be silenced

That's really shocking Roussette.

And they're right, what can Kelly think about the attacks on Blumenthal?

cozietoesie · 08/08/2017 16:34

Kelly will be badly conflicted.

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 08/08/2017 16:46

It just seems like an untenable position for him to be in. Not just over this but over everything.

AcrossthePond55 · 08/08/2017 16:46

Gen Kelly hasn't been put in the WH to control/corral Scrotus, he's been put there ostensibly to control/corral Scrotus' staff. Specifically, to find and silence the 'leakers'. How well he chooses to do that job is up to him. He can be Scrotus' best ally or his worst enemy. I know which I want him to be.

I'm hoping that somehow Scrotus was influenced by a GOP 'operative' to hire him and that in reality Kelly's a 'double agent' put there to orchestrate Scrotus' not being able to get the nomination in 2020. It's too much to hope he was put there to orchestrate his downfall.

cozietoesie · 08/08/2017 16:55

45 thinks that his 'Generals' are straight shooters. That's all, probably.

Really interesting discussion on Trump' s poll numbers.

Thanks, Set. Interesting piece - I fear that the numbers may be temporarily recoverable though.

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 08/08/2017 17:41

What's your thinking on that cozie?

cozietoesie · 08/08/2017 17:48

I don't want to be too despondent.

How much longer will the failing nytimes, with its big losses and massive unfunded liability (and non-existent sources), remain in business?

For a failing newspaper, it's getting loads of subscribers AND its share price has jumped from $10 in November to $19 now. I would say that's impressive.

E-mails show that the AmazonWashingtonPost and the FailingNewYorkTimes were reluctant to cover the Clinton/Lynch secret meeting in plane.

He's just lashing out. It's a stream of consciousness dump.

After 200 days, rarely has any Administration achieved what we have achieved..not even close! Don't believe the Fake News Suppression Polls!

Utterly delusional. Either that or a portal's been opened into a parallel dimension and somehow an exchange of POTUSes took place through the wormhole without them noticing.

Does he really believe that, I wonder?

blueskyinmarch · 08/08/2017 19:28

I reckon he is bored on his vaycay. Possibly raining?

cozietoesie · 08/08/2017 19:32

I think he really believes it. He can't afford not to.
