I don't know much of anything about that section of the country, but what is the magnetic attraction that Matha's Vineyard has for offshore windfarms? I've heard about the NIMBY effect blocking windfarms there for years, but the east coast of the US is an awfully long stretch of "offshore" for there to be such a kerfuffle about this one place. I'd expect strings of windmills to be used as replacements for buoys emmanating from New York harbor to create traffic lanes at this point (the masts would be useful, and with lights mounted on them, they'd keep traffic better organized).
Can anyone explain what is so special about getting an offshore farm going in Martha's Vineyard?
Yeah he committed perjury. I never understood that. He had already won his second election. It's not like stooping miss slut was a high crime or misdemeanor. Why commit perjury?
Because he was being sued by another woman, a state of Alabama employee, that he harassed while he was governor. Stooping the slut was evidence that this was pretty much how he rolled.
Would hiring a private investigator also be considered abusive stalking?
There are significant legal and financial ramifications to being married to a cheating spouse, and one thing you have to have is proof. But, I guess you feel that only those able to afford a private investigator deserve justice.
So, you're claiming that Demand Progress, Citizens Against Monopoly, Content Creators Coalition, Jewish Voice for Peace, MoveOn, Mpower Change, Open Markets Institute, and SumOfUs are all shilling for conservatives now?
I personally believe that we are resilient to this sort of manipulation. Humans are a naturally suspicious species, and these manipulations never seem to "feel right". For instance, my "feel" of the global warming debate:
OMG! The world is getting too hot! It's our fault! Let us have control!
Wait!? What!? CO2 is a trace element that has barely moved up, and we only have a small amount of accurate data composed of a few years over a limited area. Can we have a look at your data?
HELL NO! I'm the EXPERT! You have to trust me, 'cause I'm the only one able to interpret the data. Now, do as I say!
But, we have other people who are also experts at data analysis that claim your methods are faulty. Why should we believe you?
YOU'RE EVIL AND STUPID, AND YOU'RE PAID OFF BY OIL COMPANIES! I'M AN HONEST AND PRISTINE ACADEMIC! ONLY I HAVE THE ANSWERS! Now, submit to my taxes!
In this case, it wasn't the data that sways a person who can't analyze the data one way or the other. It is the over the top reactions that just don't sit right and create doubt. Humans are great at picking up on that subtle incongruity. The liberals won't admit it, but we get that they're trying to take control and force their views on the rest of us, and therefore we're willing to vote for an iconoclast like Trump to avoid it.
Please read a history book before publicly showing your ignorance.
Bill Clinton was being sued by Paula Jones for sexual harassment Bill committed while Governor of Arkansas. Bill was questioned about similar behavior in other work environments. Specifically, he was asked, under oath, about having an affair with an intern in the White House while acting as President. Bill Clinton LIED about that...under oath. That is a crime that we call 'perjury', which Bill Clinton was convicted of.
It was cheaper due to the initial research already being complete. I mean, the US broadcast an entire series of documentaries over the public airwaves.
Problem is, communism will always fall into totalitarianism.
Why you say?
From each according to his abilities. To each according to his needs.
That says it all. We'll take from those that we think can do stuff, and give it to those that we think need it. Someone has to make the decision. But, what if they decide that YOU can do stuff, but YOU don't need stuff? What if you start to think that their decision is completely arbitrary, and think that YOU need stuff, too? What if you begin to think that YOU are doing to much, and not getting enough? What if you decide that YOU just aren't going to do so damn much anymore?
Well, you can't just make that decision, because then everybody will make that decision. And then, nobody is working, and everybody still has needs. So, the government has to come down hard and demand that such-n-such work be done. We call that..... totalitarianism.
Now, think of how capitalism can be used to funnel greed into good behavior.
If it bothers you that much, carry a short length of thick rope with a knot tied on the end. You have just as much right to swing a rope near the ground on a busy sidewalk as the guy on the scooter has to go 15mph without paying attention. It's not your fault when his front wheel catches and he gets reminded that gravity is unforgiving.
No, they're not. Biggest open secret in Washington. EVERY group is a special interest group.
The problem is the lobbyists having *private* access to lawmakers. As part of their job, they should all be equipped with 360 degree body webcams from the time the enter office until the time they leave.
I'm not sure where you get your news... but, the Russia thing is not bullshit. Russia did hack the US and spread FUD on social media to try and influence the election. These are known facts. The Mueller investigation is still going on, so we don't know for sure if there was any collusion or not.
The HELL you say! Mueller has found plenty of collusion! Hillary and the DNC paid for opposition research from a British national that got information from Russian operatives.
Have you ever seen what goes into a "trial"? Have you noticed that there are medicines that have been used in other countries to effectively treat diseases for thousands of years, but this countries FAA won't accept that data to demonstrate that it is safe?
Testing a substance for safety and efficacy is one thing. Making it so difficult and expensive that nothing but Big-Pharma can even attempt to try is another.
Check out any rest/retirement home anywhere near you. There is a significant percentage of people there whose bodies are so wrecked with age related diseases that they are basically invalids that have been warehoused to die. The "issues" are currently so negative that they have been removed from the world. They have NO expectation of anything "long-term", positive or negative.
Most of them would line up to trade their next few years for a few days of youthfulness. And, I would find it to be a VERY good idea.
More importantly (for me): It gives me a place to park in the shade. Late spring to early fall in NC will see commuters circling the parking lot looking for a space that will be in the shade so they don't have to get in a solar oven at quitting time.

Can see it from LAND. They don't want to view ruined when they helicopter over to their yachts.
So, NOW we need evidence. Before, wasn't it enough that a "dossier" had not been proven false?
Yeah he committed perjury. I never understood that. He had already won his second election. It's not like stooping miss slut was a high crime or misdemeanor. Why commit perjury?
Because he was being sued by another woman, a state of Alabama employee, that he harassed while he was governor. Stooping the slut was evidence that this was pretty much how he rolled.

If this were real news, how would we blame cancer on our corporate overlords? Obviously, this is fake news pushed by the big coffee conglomerates.
Yet, it seems that a judge isn't to happy with this particular technique.
What about when that government that you seem so enamored with is bought and paid for by those multi-nationals that you seem to despise?
You are correct. Bill did the lying himself.

An indictment is not a conviction. It is just an accusation. And he accused foreign nationals that he reasoned would never show for a trial.
But, one of the accused has turned up for the trial. Mueller's reaction has been to get it postponed, with the judge responding, "WTF!?! Hell, no!"
But, this AI would have something that none of us have....a power button.
What would it be like if we could hit the off switch on our kids? How would they respond?
No, they're not. Biggest open secret in Washington. EVERY group is a special interest group.

To return the favor, here one for you. It's good to keep $10 million instead of spending it on something you don't need.
Well, the grandparent is Thanos.

And Hillary is the most qualified person in history to become president.
