@Memor-X Yes. Their drinking water is tainted with oil.
But a very short answer is their entire economy is based around a dying industry, oil. Due to a variety of reasons, some historical, but also just pure far-right lies and brainwashing, they also have a mad hate on for anyone suggesting 0.11111
My cat decided that message needed more numbers. Also it was ready to send.
but I was going to say they have a mad hate on for anyone suggesting they diversify their economy... largely due to far right lies.
> The ruling Conservative Party rebranded its @CCHQPress account during the hour-long prime-time event, and began firing off real-time rebuttals to statements made by Mr Corbyn, before reverting to its usual name.
the benefits i've heard that it current has and how the upgrade wuld make the state closer to being 100% renewable energy sounds like something the rest of the country should be adopting
@Nzall Well based on how hard that video tries to defend Don Cherry, I'm going to assume it's a trash source.
Maybe the social said that, in which case fuck them too, but the wording of the article makes it sound like the took what the socail took out of context.
but I don't give enough of a shit about what the social thinks either to care enough to confirm one way or another what they think.
Yeah that's a super trash source. It's got an article attacking journalists reporting on Kenneys being,uh , horrible.
It's actually it's top story.

...one of their big contributors is Lindsay Shepherd which says all I need to know. Also, another one has this bio "Candice is the Executive Director of the True North as an organization that would promote sound immigration policy, Canadian interests and the rule of law." which sounds so very lovely and skirting around outright saying oh hey we hate immigrants
@TimStone It's going to be interesting to see if Trump will cut him loose. Chances are getting up there, but maybe some self preservation is preventing Trump from doing so.
Begs the question, though; is it blackmail or extortion to stop defending someone if they throw you to the wolves?
@Frank Well, in this context I just meant it as a general "errand boy", which, depending on what he was being asked to do, wouldn't necessarily be covered by privilege, even if it wasn't criminal
Either Sondland leaked a false prepared statement or Nunes is about to be extremely surprised
Hahahahahahahah
Sondland's "I definitely didn't do a perjury" defense is that the Administration is obstructing both him and the committee by not providing the information that would help him remember
> The board is holding a formal review THIS afternoon. If you would like to make a public comment, you can do so by emailing upshur.info@clark.lib.wv.us.
I mean Castor is now having Sondland reaffirm that the State Department is obstructing the investigation for some reason so it's Not Going Well for them at least
Rudy just also implied he has no attorney-client privilege about what he did there because he was just giving his own opinions that had nothing to do with Trump
So he can come in and plead the 5th, but otherwise 🤷♂️
* Strong, explicit ties to Trump, Pence, and Pompeo. Says "everyone was in the loop"
* Attached email evidence of some of the above
* Said there was an explicit "quid pro quo", for the military aid, and the white house meeting
* Confirmed details about the (previously reported) call with Trump in the cafe
* Some of Schiff's questioning appeared to elicit testimony that does directly to the definition of bribery, which is explicitly mentioned in the constitution as a reason to impeach
GOP defense was, basically: "but what is a crime, anyway, man" (leans back and takes a huge toke)
@TimStone It was mentioned earlier in the thread, but here is the clip of Ken Starr (of Clinton impeachment fame) saying on Fox news that it is now clear the president will be impeached for bribery:
@BradC not that it really matters, but it's spelled "lackeys". Lackies isn't a word in English, at least outside of the plural form of the Lackie surname
@TimStone I can't really deduce it from the article, but will this have any impact on those of us who just want to keep using the app and don't want to be forced to switch to Paypal to use it?
It's unclear at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if it involved tighter integration between the services in the future, but we'll have to see to what extent
Oh, he definitely did it, they just rigged the trial to give immunity to someone who then was like "Ah he definitely isn't a war criminal and you can't charge me lol"
Anyway, hopefully Trump signs it quickly. He obviously could roll the dice and try a veto but I think it passed with unanimous consent in both chambers?
> President Donald Trump told Xi Jinping that the US would mute its support for the anti-China protest movement in Hong Kong in exchange for re-opening US-China trade talks, according to a report by the Financial Times (FT).
The newspaper, citing several unnamed sources close to the talks, said that the agreement was made around the G20 summit in Japan last month.
Shortly after, the two countries announced that they would restart talks to end their ongoing trade war.
Yeah, but members of Congress already have to deal with all this impeachment stuff, having to walk back a unanimous consent vote because the President threw a fit would likely annoy a lot of them for putting them on the spot
