As always, the right wing media told you a bit wrong.. it was 26 of the fires set by people not 26 people setting all the fires.

Well said. Its interesting how no one looks at all the "climate projections" since the 1970s - none of which happened. Glacier Park this year had to take down the signs put up in I think 2009 by the park that said "these will be gone by 2020". Cuz they're not gone. Some are bigger. Some are smaller. We don't live in a static world.....


It is a shame deb, but yes indeed the melt is happening.. time line may not meet some predictions, but some predictions have been spot on..

this for now..

aria Clemens took time off from her post-college summer job on a Montana ranch to hike into this national park to see a glacier. “I don’t like it,” she pronounced on the trail as she returned. “It’s just kind of sad to see.”

Her displeasure is over the ever-shrinking glaciers that gave this park its name. There were about 150 of them in 1850, now there are about 25, and they are projected to be gone before Ms. Clemens reaches her 40s.

The looming ice rivers have been ravaged by the changing climate. Glaciologists have penciled in 2030 for the glaciers’ obituary, though some ice may linger a bit. As the last surviving glaciers shrivel into shaded folds of the mountains, snow whipping over the Continental Divide may give them “a little lease on life just at the very end,” says Dan F*gre, a glacier expert at the United States Geological Survey. But, he says, “it won’t change the ultimate prognosis.”

Larry, you keep revealing your lack of knowledge about our history.. some bit of interest would be shown if you demonstrated that you had at least read one book in History 101...


During the tenure of Joseph Gurney Cannon, he was sometimes referred to as Czar Cannon. This was a result of the power of the Speaker of the House during this time. However, there was a "revolt" in the House which saw Cannon give up power, as well an overall decentralization of power within the House.[2]

During the latter stages of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson appointed financier Bernard Baruch to run the War Industries Board. This position was sometimes dubbed the "industry czar".[1]

One of the earliest known metaphorical usages of the term in the U.S. was in reference to Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who was named commissioner of baseball, with broad powers to clean up the sport after it had been dirtied by the Black Sox scandal of 1919.[3]

In 1926, a New York City chamber of commerce named what The New York Times termed a "czar" to clean up the milk delivery industry.[4]

In the United States, the term czar has been used by the media to refer to appointed executive branch officials since at least the 1930s

The trend began again in earnest[1] when President Richard Nixon created two offices whose heads became known as "czars" in the popular press: drug czar in 1971,[11] and especially energy czar in December 1973[12] referring to William E. Simon's appointment as the head of the Federal Energy Administration.[13] Nixon told his cabinet that Simon would have "absolute authority" in his designated areas, and compared the intended result to Albert Speer's role as the person in unquestioned charge of armaments for the Third Reich.[14] Simon found both the informal title "czar" and the Speer comparison unsettling.[14] However, at the height of the Arab oil embargo, Simon gave the position a good name by successfully putting into place a mandatory fuel allocation program and calming public fears about shortages without resorting to explicit gasoline rationing.[1][15]

I've heard a variety of conflicting gloom and doom, climate catastrophe predictions since the 70's.

Yet the weather in my home town hasn't changed since my childhood in the 50's. It's still generally hot in the summer and cold in the winter, with the occasional random dry/ wet/cold spell dispersed throughout a year of seasonal weather. It has snowed in May and October a couple of times, and once or twice the temperatures have reached the 60--70° mark a day after we received 2 feet of snow, great barbeque weather by the way.

Anything related to c*****e c****e is a moneymaker for political cons. This unhealthy, obsessive focus on the weather, wasn't tracked second by second and predicted minute by minute prior to the 20th century. What was the day to day weather like during the the previous 19 centuries?

Until celebrities stop using private jets and the rest of the world puts an end to China and India from excessively polluting the environment, I won't take any c*****e c****e prediction seriously.

All Presidents have claimed Executive Privilege at one time or another. President Trump has every right to claim privilege.

After he released an unprecedented number of documents and allowed testimony in the 2+ year long Mueller investigation, he has probably had enough. He gave them everything they wanted and they would still be fishing around for something .... and shifty would still be claiming/lying to have evidence of Russian collusion even though there never was any such evidence ... if Barr hadn't told him to SOGOTP.

He immediately released the transcript of the telephone conversation, too. A telephone call with a foreign leader, which is also unprecedented, in an attempt to show t***sparency and give the House what they wanted. But they won't stop. And if that is the case, then they can subpoena anybody. They can try to get a Court order to force testimony. They could have done all of that. Bolton told them he would follow a judge's order, but then they just dropped the subpoena and did a Roseanna Roseanna Danna and said, "Nevermind." Wh**ever their reasons are for not following through, I don't know, but the fact that they did not speaks to their confidence ... or lack thereof .. that they would find anything provable. That they chose to do a rushed, shoddy job of something so important speaks to major incompetence. They should all be forced to resign for the damage they have done to our government.

And anybody who trusts a report coming out of nadler's judiciary committee after this totally partisan fishing expedition and one-sided investigation must still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. If they had actual proof of bribery, soliciting, wire fraud, etc. then those would be the charges against him. Obstruction of Congress means nothing except widdle biddy nadler and widdle biddy shifty got their feelings hurt because they didn't get their way. Obstruction of Justice is another thing entirely, but he was not charged with any such thing. T***h is, they got nothin' and they know it. And in a few weeks, the whole country is going to know it.

And as for attempting to claim Trump was helping putin by delaying aid, if you really believe that then all of you ought to be calling out obama for refusing to send the Ukrainians any weapons at all when they were actually under attack by putin's army. He sent them blankets instead. And I think water, too. Talk about helping putin. Trump sent real weapons. And from what I have read, the money was t***sferred within the timeline set out by Congress, so technically there was no delay at all.

Wh**ever the whole t***h is, we will find out soon enough.

do not be so damn dumb... President Obama sent plenty of weapons.. only your fish wrap media is telling you it was only blankets and pillows, and you are the few believing such crap..

release of a phone call unprecedented .... BS... what is unprecedented is to lock the phone transcript in the sealed file until testimony revealed it existed.. then the t***sgression was obvious to everyone in the world but the orange cult who kisses the ring to the orange mistake..

the president committed crimes. Only the fact that the Justice feels that a sitting president can not be indicted has left him out of jail.. and they are wrong, a President is not above the law..

There is no way around it. Attorney General William Barr’s efforts to clear President Donald Trump, both in his original letter and in his press conference the morning of the report’s release, are wholly unconvincing when you actually spend time with the document itself.

Mueller does not accuse the president of crimes. He doesn’t have to. But the facts he recounts describe criminal behavior. They describe criminal behavior even if we allow the president’s—and the attorney general’s—argument that facially valid exercises of p**********l authority cannot be obstructions of justice. They do this because they describe obstructive activity that does not involve facially valid exercises of p**********l power at all.

Consider only two examples. The first is the particularly ugly section concerning Trump’s efforts to get then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions to “unrecuse.”

According to Mueller, the president asked Corey Lewandowski to convey a message to Sessions. It was a request that Sessions reassert control over the special counsel’s investigation, make a speech in which he would declare that the president didn’t do anything wrong and that the special counsel’s investigation of him was “very unfair,” and restrict the special counsel’s investigation to interference in future e******ns. Lewandowski asked a White House staffer to deliver the message in his place; the staffer in question never did so.

A few factors are important to highlight here, all of them aggravating. Lewandowski was not a government employee, so this was not an example of the president exercising his powers to manage the executive branch. Indeed, Trump very specifically did not go through the hierarchy of the executive branch. He tried to get a private citizen to lobby the attorney general on his behalf for substantive outcomes to an investigation in which he had the deepest of personal interests. What’s more, the step he asked Lewandowski to press Sessions to take was frankly unethical. Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe because he had an actual conflict of interest in the matter. In other words, the president of the United States recruited a private citizen to procure from the attorney general of the United States behavior the attorney general was ethically barred from undertaking.

But it gets worse, because Trump did not merely seek to get Sessions to involve himself in a matter from which he was recused. Trump wanted Sessions both to limit the scope of the investigation and to declare its outcome on the merits with respect to Trump himself. This action would have quite literally and directly obstructed justice. Limiting the jurisdiction of the special counsel to future e******ns would have, after all, precluded the indictments Mueller later issued for Russia’s hacking and social-media operations. It would have precluded the prosecutions of Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Mike Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates, as well. Nor is there any real complexity here with respect to Trump’s intent. As Mueller reports, “Substantial evidence indicates that the President’s effort to have Sessions limit the scope of the Special Counsel’s investigation to future e******n i**********e was intended to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the President’s and his campaign’s conduct.”

As a criminal matter, this fact pattern seems to me uncomplicated: If true and provable beyond a reasonable doubt, it is unlawful obstruction of justice. Full stop.

Another example: Mueller reports that after the news broke that Trump had sought to get then–White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire the special counsel, Trump sought to get McGahn to deny the story. He also sought to get him to create an internal record denying the story. McGahn refused.

Compared to your Barack, he destroyed the country via the Deep State, became a t*****r by aiding and abetting the enemy Iran, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and millions of Muslims brought into the US including terrorists.
E.g. B******i, Fast and Furious, ISIS, GITMO release of 5 Muslims who returned to terrorize American troops.

Nearly the only ones clinging to the tails of trumpdom are his orange based cult members..

The proportion of Americans who are "alarmed" by g****l w*****g tripled over the last five years and is now at an all-time high, a new survey shows.

Almost 6 in 10 Americans are either "alarmed" or "concerned" by g****l w*****g, marking what researchers say is a major shift in public perception of the issue.
The survey was conducted by the Yale Program on C*****e C****e Communication and George Mason University's Center for C*****e C****e Communication, which together have tracked Americans' views on c*****e c****e since 2008.

As recently as 2014, the percentage of Americans categorized as "dismissive" of g****l w*****g was roughly the same as those who were "alarmed" -- around 11 to 12%.
But in the years since, the ranks of the "dismissive" -- those who believe g****l w*****g is not happening or caused by humans -- has fallen to just 10%.
Over the same time, the "alarmed" group -- people who are most worried about g****l w*****g and support measures to reduce heat-trapping carbon pollution -- grew to 31% of those surveyed, and today outnumber the dismissive crowd by more than 3-to-1.
The findings show that as the global c*****e c****es rapidly, a growing proportion of Americans view the climate crisis as an actual crisis.
This new urgency felt my many Americans stands in sharp contrast to the policies of the Trump administration, which has rolled back dozens of environmental regulations, many of which were aimed at curbing c*****e c****e.

As for what could be behind the shift, Leiserowitz says there are a number of likely factors.

One, he says, is the science.
"The reports from the scientific community have become ever more dire," he said, pointing to the alarming United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on C*****e C****e 2018 report that showed the window to stem catastrophic c*****e c****e is rapidly closing as one example.
Another reason is that political leaders are talking about the issue more, and polls have shown that tackling c*****e c****e is now a top issue for many Democratic v**ers.

If the Democrats had followed up on the blockage of witnesses and documents, the Impeachment would not yet be done and we would be looking at many more weeks of court appeals and counter appeals. that is the trump trade mark court strategy, taught by Cohan the gangster lawyer who gave trump his life long strategy of outspending the others over time and money..

t***h,,,,you can not handle the t***h...

let’s dispense with the attempt to smear the impeachment by the fact that some r****ts and islamophobes cannot stand one particular member.

Yes, Donald Trump threatened the safety and security of Ukraine. It’s not the specific missiles, it’s the fact that Congress approved the missiles while Trump withheld them. That is a clear signal to Trump’s ally, Putin, that he is free to conduct his dirty nasty war and we will abandon our ally. That said, while Trump intended Ukrainian officials to feel threatened, that part of the case would be tough to prove. So the report, created by the Judiciary Committee, actually charges Trump with Criminal Bribery and Wire Fraud / Honest Services Fraud. There’s decades of jail time in those two charges alone. (The bribery charge is for soliciting a bribe, which means to demand payment for performing an official act).

Yes Trump did these actions to improve his chances of being elected. He didn’t go after Marianne Williamson or Cory Booker. He went after Joe Biden, the much loved former Vice President who is very popular with Black folks, and whose genuine kindness and intelligence makes him a formidable politician.

Yes, he blocked Congressional efforts to investigate. Congress has an oversight role and they routinely request, and get, thousands of pages of documentation every year from the vast and sprawling administration. Yet Trump blocked it all, an unprecedented move that no one has done before at this kind of scale. Thousands of pages of evidence are blocked. If Trump actually were innocent, he would have gladly released those pages. That is clearly an obstruction of Congress at an executive level, and while each count of obstruction only amounts to a few months in prison, each record withheld would amount to a separate count. Trump is looking at decades of jail time on the obstruction charge alone.
