    political action committees have to register, and give donator lists. fake news orgs don't. welcome to america.

    the article says since 1880 - but we've been hotter at least 4 times in the past based on core data. the gradient does not mean as much as the absolute. sun blocking particulates from the likely asteroid strike (or maybe volcanoes) on earth had a much, much bigger effect. we're nowhere near that from burning fossil fuels. all that is ignored in the article. and in most arguments.

    she got charged with essentially the same thing as manafort - failing to register as a foreign agent. kinda like capone and taxes. as for the FEC that would be an organization with American money who has to register. she did not get charged with that. and the supreme court essentially made orgs individuals and allowed them to contribute. but yes, it would be the org not the person.

    under Federal Election Commission (FEC) rules they have to register if they are advocating a vote. either way, they failed to register.

    she failed to register with the DOJ as a foreign agent. she used foreign money to try and influence an election. those are both against federal law.
