Edit: ^ make noise and publicly condemn attempts to privatize, make the public know that the Republicans own that poo poo.

The fact that basically every big named Republican is currently running away from Trump as fast as they can surely bodes well for his administration. I have a feeling that the Dems are going to find plenty of anti-Trump Republicans to ally with when necessary

the black husserl posted:Kushner is the motivating force behind nearly all of this. Dude wants to rule the world. Dunno how he gets along with the anti-semetic Bannon, but hey, guess you gotta swallow some pride in the quest for world domination. Kushner is the one who kept Bannon from being Chief of Staff, which is far more influential than "chief strategist". And Kushner is looking to close that off with pursuing Trump's ear on his own. Now I've got to wonder if this was Gingrich who declined, like Carson, or if Trump snubbed him.

It's wishful thinking on the part of Dems to think that "Drain the Swamp" meant anything but cracking down on Pesky Bureaucrats, liberal lobbyists, and Democrats.

Business Gorillas posted:Maybe you should try your pedantry in a bar in warren, Ohio and see how well it works out Maybe you should try saying things that are true for the first time in your life. That Ohio guy most likely lost his job to someone in Alabama or Arizona or North Carolina rather than anywhere foreign. And that's just if his job wasn't lost because reduced labor requirements occurred, not even due to automation that often but often due to better in-country transportation meaning less need for multiple factories versus more centralized larger factories in other places. And if he actually lost it to somewhere foreign it was most likely a country without any sort of free trade agreement, unless your definition of free trade is "isn't embargoed like North Korea".

Old James posted:Trump isn't going to have any allies once he takes office. He has shown no loyalty to the few Republicans who supported him in the election (see Carson, Christie, and Gingrich), why would anyone step out to help him now. Because if they don't it runs the risk that he calls Obama, and you can be drat certain that Barack Obama is going to drop pretty much anything he's doing if it means guiding Trump away from the latest minefield Trump's herding the country towards. And yeah, if the POTUS calls you and wants your help with something, you don't burn the biggest of bridges by telling him to gently caress off and likely validating in his eyes whatever poo poo Kushner and Bannon has said to make Trump distance himself from you in the first place. Ron Jeremy posted:Gooooo....Faithless electors! I'd be ok with faithless electors swapping by the dozens and declaring Clinton the winner if it wasn't for that whole "would almost certainly spark a civil war" thing. The EC needs to be abolished in its entirety and we need to go to a straight popular vote but that's less than likely. Plus it's looking more and more like Trump's going to be used heavily by his son-in-law. At the rate things are going I won't be surprised if Kushner's dad is given a full pardon within Trump's first year in office.

Graph is no longer available from nsidc. quote:NSIDC has suspended daily sea ice extent updates until further notice, due to issues with the satellite data used to produce these images. The vertically polarized 37 GHz channel (37V) of the Special Sensor Microwave Imager and Sounder (SSMIS) on the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F-17 satellite that provides passive microwave brightness temperatures is providing spurious data. The 37V channel is one of the inputs to the sea ice retrieval algorithms, so this is resulting in erroneous estimates of sea ice concentration and extent. The problem was initially seen in data for April 5 and all data since then are unreliable, so we have chosen to remove all of April from NSIDC’s archive.
