When I was in Uganda I mistook the avocados at a roadside produce stand for small watermelons. With all that potential guacamole there wasn't a corn chip to be found anywhere in the country.

Shepard Smith Departs Fox News Amid Feud With Tucker Carlson Over Trump Coverage

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 12, 2019:

Unfortunately there is a non-compete clause in his contract, so no CNN until that expires. I just hope his non-compete clause is as good as the one I once negotiated. I got a year off with pay.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 11, 2019:

The only better way to start would be celebrating when he is no longer in office. Twice as good if he is in prison.

Obstruction of Impeachment!! Trump administration orders ambassador at center of Ukraine scandal ...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 8, 2019:

The term you are looking for is not "Obstruction of Impeachment." That is not found anywhere in any of the US Codes. The term is "18 U.S. Code § 1505. Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees." That's worth 5 years in federal prison. Throw in "18 U.S. Code § 371. Conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud United States" and you can add another 5 years in federal prison. Trump's orders are a blatant violation of the law and anyone obeying them is risking ten years in federal prison.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 8, 2019:

Interesting insight. He has licensed his name to be used on the towers. I wonder if there is a clause in the license that requires him to be involved in the business personally. Could that be why he has not turned the business over to his children, or put it into a blind trust?

I have some positive words for all of you.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 7, 2019:

Not trying to be picky here, but I feel a need to correct one point. You said: "I firmly believe that OJ did kill Nicole Brown. He won the criminal case, but he lost the civil case. He was found guilty, but only had to pay money. That's rare because you have to provide the same evidence for both cases." A favorable verdict in a civil lawsuit only requires a preponderance of the evidence. A criminal conviction requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Interesting idea! But many people will be severely pissed off if he doesn't spend any time in ...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 7, 2019:

The possibility of Trump avoiding time in prison is small and shrinking. His smartest move at this point would be to take six months or a year in Club Fed in exchange for no prosecution at the state level. Otherwise there is a very high probability that he will die in a NY State Prison.

There have been some really great words used in the last week.

Moscow Mitch should be expelled from the Senate for being such a spineless eunuch. [msn.]

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 6, 2019:

"All of you know your Constitution," McConnell says in the video. "The way that impeachment stops is with a Senate majority with me as majority leader." Umm. No, Mitch. The Constitution doesn't even mention the Majority Leader. The Rules of the Senate don't mention the Majority Leader, either. Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the trial, and the Presiding Officer has the responsibility for any procedural issues. You, Mitch, get nothing to say until the roll is called for your single very public vote on each article. So, until then, STFU and sit down.

Give Barnes & Noble a medal for this one.

I am watching everyday how trump is SELF IMPEACHING.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 5, 2019:

McCornhole does not have the votes necessary to change the Rules of the Senate, so the only say he will have once this reaches the Senate is his one vote on each article of impeachment. The trial in the Senate is presided over by the Chief Justice, John Roberts. Any procedural matters are under the control of the Presiding Officer of the Senate. That would normally be the VP, but if Pence recuses himself (for an obvious conflict of interest) it would be the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Currently that is Chuck Grassley of Iowa. This should bode well for a thorough and fair trial.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 5, 2019:

What makes you think Pence won't go first? He's not so insane as to stick it out. If he sees a way to cut a deal in exchange for resigning (a la Agnew, who got prison time, but a seriously reduced sentence), I wouldn't be surprised to see him take it.

Just this morning I am finding out that Trump openly asked China to investigate the Bidens.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 4, 2019:

It wasn't just that he asked China to investigate the Bidens. The worst part is he blatantly stated the quid pro quo, "if you want a better trade deal..."

Just saw an article in "The Nation" stating that the orange wonder is doing all he can to bring down...

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 4, 2019:

Yes, the line of succession is Vice President, and then Speaker of the House. If either Pence or Trump is gone, the President has the duty to nominate a new Vice President. That person must then be approved by a majority vote in each house of Congress. I think that Pelosi should inform the President and Bitch McCornhole that they will vote on the VP nominee when the Senate votes on Merrick Garland. Pelosi for President 2019!

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 4, 2019:

John Mitchell, Nixon's AG did 19 months in federal prison. Obstructing a Congressional investigation is a violation of 18 USC 1505. That's five years per count. Add another 5 years per count for 18 USC 371, conspiracy to violate federal law, and Billie pretty much has his retirement planned with free room and board until he dies.

Sorry for the profanity within the image.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 3, 2019:

I hope there is no violence when Trump leaves office, but if there are idiots who insist on a violent response, I will have to conclude that the herd needs thinning.

This is only appropriate for this group on days ending in "y".

The Rules of the Senate require the trial and McConnell doesn't have the votes to change the rules. Once the trial starts, Chief Justice Roberts, not McConnell, will be in charge.

I joined this group to ask a question.

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 30, 2019:

To answer this question requires an understanding of history. As much as Americans like to deny it, there has always been a degree of class warfare in this country. In August of 1971 the "monied interests", as FDR called them, declared war on the middle and lower classes with the publication of the Powell Memo. The battle plan laid out in that memo has been followed very effectively since then. The result has been a gutting of the middle class, and the concurrent feeling of economic insecurity. Add to this the control of well over 90% of the media by six corporations and it is easy to see how the right, with "think tanks" funded by the Koch brothers and their ilk have managed to hijack the conversation and move it to the right. This climate has brought about the rise of partisan politics over principle that has made Trump possible.

GOP lawmaker blasts Trump for quoting pastor warning of civil war over impeachment [thehill.com]

But he didn't condemn Robert Jeffress for making the statement. Jeffress is the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. Half a century ago my great grandfather was a deacon in that church. He is rolling in his grave.

Democrats Predict Speedy Impeachment Inquiry Lasting Weeks, Not 'Months'

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 29, 2019:

Mueller might as well have been a whitewash. He took a view of his charter that was so narrow as to make his investigation meaningless. To say I was disappointed would be an extreme understatement. Mueller had spoken a few years earlier about the biggest threat facing our country from a law enforcement standpoint is the Russian mob. It would not have been outside his charter to investigate Trump's ties to the Russian mob, and bring them down. Instead we got a mealy mouthed, half-assed "investigation". Complete bullshit.

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 29, 2019:

Not all of the rich are the problem. However there is class warfare in America. It was declared in August of 1971 with the publication of the Powell Memo. It has been carried out systematically and ruthlessly since then with the result being the upward redistribution of wealth causing the gutting of the middle class. The rich who are not the problem realize this and support a fairer taxation system that redistributes the wealth more along the lines of what we had before Reaganomics. The problems described and "solved" by Conover are minuscule compared to the problems caused by the Powell Memo and being addressed by Sanders and Warren. The fact that you included Hillary tells me just how clueless you really are on the issue.

Norwegian Gas Station Becomes First in World to Replace All Pumps With Electric Chargers

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 29, 2019:

Having done graduate level work in Environmental Studies I have two problems with electric cars: 1) Unless you charge one exclusively with electricity generated strictly from renewable sources, they actually add more carbon to the atmosphere that running a equivalent modern internal combustion engine. This is inevitable due to the loss of efficiency introduced in the transmission of power over the grid to the car. Consider also that it is very difficult to match the thermodynamic properties of gasoline (i.e., how far you can go on how little you have to carry). Batteries for electric cars, or tanks sufficiently strong to transport hydrogen, add a significant weight penalty to a vehicle. 2) A much more recent concern is that, even if we had 100% efficient transmission of power, and it all came from renewable sources, it will still take at least ten years to phase out internal combustion engines. I wish we had that long. The latest studies I have seen say we probably don't. There have already been months when we have surpassed a 1.5ºC increase over pre-industrial average temperatures. At this level, we are flirting with hitting tipping points that may make recovery impossible (e.g., release of methane frozen in the permafrost or bottom of the ocean, or a change in ocean currents due to the fresh water from melting glaciers). The bad news is that we may only have five years or less. The good news is that we can be completely off of fossil petroleum within three years or less if we decide to do it. And we don't have to shut down our economy and park all of our cars. We can keep the "fuel", but lose the "fossil". Fossil fuel is derived from natural processes that trapped hydrocarbons beneath the surface of the earth hundreds of thousands of years ago. It is the release of this trapped carbon into the atmosphere that causes the problems with greenhouse gases. Why not use decomposed plants that we grow instead of decomposed plants that grew hundreds of thousands of years ago? All of the carbon we would release into the atmosphere would be carbon the plants had already taken out of the atmosphere. We have the technology to do this. It is called pyrolysis. By heating plant matter to a very high temperature in a reduced oxygen environment, we get approximately 10% of the plant mass converted to methane and other gases we know how to use, 15% to carbon coke and 75% converted to sludge. The sludge is actually a reasonably high grade, very sweet (i.e., very low to no sulfur content) crude oil. Burning the carbon coke produces more than enough heat to sustain the process (to use the technical term, the process is exothermic). This is well known technology we can deploy now. We could do so within three years or less based on historic precedents...

Do you know?

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 29, 2019:

Note the time span for impeachment .

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 28, 2019:

If Pelosi focuses the impeachment only on the whistle blower complaint, as she apparently wants to, the time line laid out in the article is ridiculously long. Nixon still had over half the country opposing impeachment until less than two weeks before his resignation. In the first week of August 1974, previously unknown tape from June 23, 1972 (recorded a few days after the break-in) documenting Nixon and Haldeman formulating a plan to block investigations was released. This recording later became known as the "Smoking Gun". Nixon resigned on August 8, 1974. We already have the country evenly divided on impeachment, and the evidence is just starting to come out. And we now know there is an entire server dedicated to politically sensitive conversations the administration is trying to hide. This is not a single smoking gun. This has the potential to be an exploding arsenal. Plus I expect a number of former members of the administration will be willing to talk. After all given the choice of remaining loyal to the one who threw them under the bus and is now on his way out (and probably to prison), or saving their own ass, guess which way that goes. I won't be surprised to see Trump and Pence gone before the end of the year. The real question is whether or not Pelosi wants to be President?

This is a link to my local middle school.

mcgeo52 comments on Sep 27, 2019:

I see a number of people saying to contact the ACLU. You can try that if you want to, but don't be surprised if they either completely ignore you, or simply tell you there is nothing wrong here. The event was a legal annual event, with voluntary participation. I don't see where the school promoted it, only posted a few pictures after the fact with a description so brief as to be almost meaningless.

Lets play a game.
