I'm struggling to get your point. Please be a little bit clear. Yes, Liz Cheney is one of the establishment GOP - on her way out no doubt. And late McCain's wife probably sold her soul - all for hatred of Donald Trump. I will not put the sins of the husband to her charge. But sure enough, we have RINOs and they know their time is almost done.

How that makes me similar to a demonRat, I don't know.

Both democrats and GOP are thieves and criminals. Politicians are evil demons. why did they finally refuse to call witnesses? This could have been the only way for democrats to prove that they truly want to impeach Trump.

All of you Trump supporters and democrats are being deceived big time by the crooks. The democrats playtd on people intelligence that they will punish Trump.

A president worse than Trump and deadlier than Hitler should arise so that America will understand how foolish they are. I really wished that 10 Democrats and GOPers died in the attack.
The dems want to convict Trump so that he never runs again ever. The RINOs and Ds are also warning any Trump wonnabe ie an outsider to politics that he/she/they/them should not dare try running for high office
In other words , whoever runs should have their blessings and not someone who wants to topple their cosy gravy trains.

Trump legal team called the bluff on this sham. Call witnesses , and we also subpoena Pelosi and DC Mayor.
Schumer was later heard saying he has not heard of Dems calling any witnesses.

---These Trump legal team are the only lawyers left in the country who will touch Trump's toxic behaviours---they are the 3rd set of lawyers---after most corporate law firms dropped Trump as a client---Too much personal insults from Michael van der Veen---
CNN was forced to cover the videos of the proceedings without the selective edicts shampeachmemt mamagers had laid out.

So Republiecons are already attacking Kamala and making baseless lies that she supported a riot when she supported the protest and not violence or riots.She did not push to bail criminals but peaceful protesters arrested that could not afford bail and were later released why are these liars trying to smear this woman's name.
Trump's delusional lawyers who got their disgraceful degree from Trump university have purposely mispronounced her name and Ayanna Presley three times today the republiecons are targetting Kamala Harris and vilainizing her because they think she will run for POTUS it is obvious these fools are trying to smear her with lies to look bad.

Pathetic approach
These heinous criminals bailed out by the fund Kamala promoted.

[b]
Kamala Harris and has raised over $35 million, has bailed out an unknown number of accused thugs, rioters and other criminals. Finding information on exactly who they’ve bailed out has been an arduous task.

Here’s what we do know about the Harris-endorsed bail recipients:

In August, the fund posted $15,000 bail for the release of Shawn McClinton, a convicted sex offender facing rape charges. According to prosecutors, McClinton raped a woman just weeks after his July release – and was back in custody facing prosecution over alleged rape, kidnapping, strangulation and other charges.


In September, the Daily Caller pored through court records, and found that the MFF had helped free several men suspected of heinous crimes – including accused child molester Timothy Wayne Columbus, who faces up to 30 years in prison on allegations that he sexually assaulted an eight-year-old girl.

31-year-old Dexter Boone was arrested on May 2 after allegedly breaking into his son’s mother’s apartment and strangled her in front of her minor children.

The fund also helped bail out 28-year-old Davlin Devonte Gates, who also allegedly strangled a woman just days after he moved in with her.

The globalist and military industrial complex are afraid of populist candidates like Trump, they know that if anyone in the future should arise like him, it will greatly affect their economic interest

Liberals are weak puppets for social-democrat policies which are beneficial in the short term, but disatrious in the long run to the economic, social and moral fabric of the society, these progressives don't know how weak and useless their policies are but because they are brainwashed ideologues they can't see things clearly by applying logic and reasoning, they are so emotional and live for the moment, Biden hasn't even spent 100 days and we can see how disatrious his policies are from immigration to the pipeline deal
A simple example. Demonrats want zombified voters. Xibiden will give amnesty to 11m illegals here for the simple reason that they will vote for democrats forever. He has ordered no repatriation of current illegals.He has stopped the border wall to allow more illegals.
The left dont want power, they want control over everything, if everyone gets broke and depends on govt then the masses will always sing their tune. In other words the left is communist.

SEATTLE, WA- On Thursday, Seattle police tried to return to the East Precinct which they had to abandon earlier in the week.

They encountered a mob of protestors who are guarding what they’re calling the police-free Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ).

And the mayor is calling it “patriotic.”

In an interview with Chris Cuomo last night, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan responds to a call by President Trump to take back her city by holding up a description of a four block area in Seattle as a “block party atmosphere.”

When asked by Cuomo how long she expects Seattle to look the way it does, she asserted:
“I don’t know. We could have the summer of love.

Hey basilico, how are you brother man?! What's your take on this crazy impeachment.
The impeachment is a sham.
They know if Trump runs again he can easily win.
Joe Biden is already plnning to ruin fossil fuel industry But he has a plan for clean energy to be announced in a few weeks or months.

They also want to issue a warning to any non-establishement candidate who ever dares to run for high office.
They are all in it together to show Trump as being a danger ( to their wallets) .

Good morning homophobes. I told you guys months ago, that in your lifetime. Gays would be everywhere. And there would literally be nothing you can do about it.
Angola has come to its senses. People are born gay. Others are born women in mens bodies so science now says men can have periods and give birth because the born women are really men.

Xibiden has now allowed men who identify as women to use the female restrooms and compete in girls sports. Very progressive happens in the military too, so standards hve to be lowered.
I have not seen women who identify as men because of gender dysphoria demand to compete with full bloodied men.

Science now defines gender as to what you think you are not DNA t XX or XY chromosones.

Warren Buffett
Position: Chairman and CEO

Company Name: Berkshire Hathaway

Amount donated in 2019-2020: $254,100

Donated to: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

Insights: Though Warren Buffett is one of the most well-known CEOs on this list, he donated the smallest amount to the election, with just over $250,000 going to the DCCC. Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns numerous brands such as Fruit of the Loom, GEICO, Dairy Queen and Duracell.


This is how media cheats. That he did not donate to Joe Biden . AP news.

https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-afs:Content:9930768811

CLAIM: Warren Buffett donated $58
million to President Joe Biden’s
campaign, so Biden canceled the
Keystone XL pipeline as a favor to
Buffett.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Warren
Buffett did not donate to Biden’s
presidential campaign, nor did he
endorse him. Buffett previously has
voiced public support for the Keystone
XL pipeline.
THE FACTS: On Biden’s first day in
office, he halted construction of the
Keystone XL pipeline. The 1,700-mile
pipeline was planned to carry roughly
800,000 barrels of oil a day from
Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast.

If you've lived near a coal plant, you'd understand the issues around emissions. Even gas flaring from Shell flowstations in Port Harcourt is now a major issue with all the black soot and rising temperatures people there are complaining about.
Coal is a pollutant I don't dispute that.Cleaner coal plants are coming up online every day. Gas powered turbines are less pollutant.
America reduces the fossil fuel plants , China and India are under no obligation to reduce their carbon footprint (A term to scare people by the way).
What is the end goal. If there is only renewables does that mean the global temps will go down? Is there any study ascertaining that or it's just computer models

And we also need to wear three masks, apparently that might reduce human carbon footprint too I guess.

There was no oil before 1875 as we all know.That should imply we should not have deserts as the Sahara, Kalahari or Atacama.Right?

Many recent models of gasoline cars are very energy efficient, but Electric cars are even better. You need to drive one to get a feel of it.

The US still imports oil from Saudi Arabia, so that should be your major question. In fact, the Saudis own the largest refinery here in Texas.

Yes, solar panels do generate power even on cloudy days. Wind turbines are even more impressive. Did you see the news about Total bidding heavily for the offshore wind energy project in New York?? Baba, oil and gas is being phased out and everyone has to follow the flow, or be left behind.
You need to go study load flow.
If we talk nuclear, I'd go along.
Takes years to sustain optimum power distribution.Especially from renewables whose outputs can never Repeat Never be guaranteed.

You know how much steel a 1MW wind plant uses. Which has to be mined By the way Add concrete needed that uses gazillions of fossil fuel power to produce.

Baba, there's no way generators would be used to power EV charging stations in the US. I know this because I interned at one of these companies last summer. It's actually cheaper to build Electric vehicles than our regular petrol or diesel cars. Volkswagen are already selling electric vehicles that run for 144 miles on a single charge. Once the cost of batteries drop, EVs would even sell at $10k.
Sure batts are becoming more cheaper, lighter and more efficient.
Oh what's the cost of a Tesla

True Joe wants to transition from fossil to renewables.
Then use gensets to charge Electric Vehicles.
Total insanity of the left.

energy efficiency is never 100% .Means you use more fuel to get the bang out of a buck.

And don't forget those temporary jobs will be taken over by trucks and wagons.The oil is still needed and will be delivered to lower south by hook or crook, Maybe Joe can come up with a plan where the sun is ordered to be on every day of the year instead of using fossil fuels

Edit. The oil will be transported by wagons.Could shareholders of the train company be a major donor to Biden. Food for thought.

Lol...if you know anything about construction, you'd understand that most of these jobs are temporary, so these numbers are just false. Those union workers are welders, craftsmen, foremen, crane operators, etc. who easily work on a wide range of construction projects, so the job loss won't be that bad for them.
I made a mistake. 11000 jobs lost by a stroke of the pen. They may be temporary, how many pizza sellers eg will have no one to sell to now.
