Trump needs to be impeached ASAP

There is already enough there to know he is a clear and immediate danger to the United States of America.

I suspect the only thing holding this back is there isn't enough there (yet) to get Pence too. And we need him outta there so Trump won't be pardoned.

Uh oh, just saw on Fox News

The whistleblower account is unraveling as we speak.

Might as well forget about the whole thing.

California can win the war Trump just started

Heard EPA head Scott Pruitt on NPR last night saying California never had good cause to impose higher mileage standards or regulate CO2.

He also conceded California can regulate pollution, just not COO.

So here's my idea - listen up Senators and Assembly Members and Governor Newsome - ban the internal combustion engine in California. Install charging stations everywhere and let all new cars be electric, or hydrogen powered.

Fossil fuel pushers are always crying that people love their I.C.E. cars. I, for one, don't. Electric cars are faster, cleaner, and simpler to maintain. I'd love one if only I had a place to charge it.

And those Toyota Murai hydrogen fuel cell (i.e., electric) cars are fast, too. And fillable at a station - very little wait.

These things are already here. All we need is a little infrastructure investment.

Pompeo just indicted the U.S. in the ongoing slaughter in Yemen


"In his own comments to the press before landing in Jeddah, Pompeo claimed there was solid proof that Iran had carried out the attack.

'This was an Iranian attack. It’s not the case that you can subcontract out the devastation of 5% of the world’s global energy supply and think that you can absolve yourself of responsibilities,' he said."

(Reported in the Guardian)

Context: The United States has been supplying munitions that Saudi Arabia had been using against civilians and civilian targets to create a years-long humanitarian crisis in Yemen, using American-supplied jets being refueled in midair by USAF tankers.

The Pompeo statement also contradicts the story the drones lifted off from Iran: if they were "subcontracted out," it sure sounds like they came from somewhere else.
