This is obvious and axiomatic. Yet why doesnโ€™t everyone recognize and acknowledge it??

Everything in Trump's russian plan โ€”undoubtedly also a corruption pactโ€”is disgraceful, rotten, and unacceptable.
But I would like European leaders to show much more indignation about one thing in particular: it absolves the russians of their crimesโ€”a full betrayal of Nuremberg's legacy.

I'm still betting on a glitch in the device. Breathing might cause a high number, but I doubt if it would be that high (recall that exhaled air is around 4000 ppm, or ten times fresh air in round numbers).

I mention in the piece above how power is now flowing away from Trump and you can see it today with many GOP politicians feeling brave enough to criticise his Russia-friendly deal over Ukraine.

Itโ€™s not the horniness that cries out for criminalization; itโ€™s the prose.

Well, sheโ€™s not a rocket scientist (or even space-laser scientist). I do hope sheโ€™s a terrible tactician.

I wasn't born yesterday. If someone says, "Don't forget to read to the end," that's where I'll start, because no doubt that's where the soi-disant "journalist" has buried the lead.

Oops.

But the writing. The writing is so. Bad.

โ€ฆ to run for the presidential nomination, I bet.

Can you cross-check with an Aranet? I bet thatโ€™s just instrument noise (not realCO2).

Iโ€™ve heard that going five feet deep with quarter-inch steel deck plating will also do the trick. Maybe you could get ahold of an old destroyer and cannibalize it

That would be good. The B.C. Bird-flu patient last year was all droplet protocols.

And you just know their protocols and compliance were shitโ€ฆ.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers whoโ€™ll yesโ€™sir at every new diktat to deny.
