Their line of attack is that the whistleblower is a partisan hack, but Trump has already admitted to what the whistleblower alleges. It’s 100% muddying the waters and an attempt to split people into their partisan camps.

After 2016 I’m not going to be surprised by anything, who knows if this works or not.

Atleast the Dems learned to move quick from the Mueller investigation. If the Dems had moved this quick after the Mueller report dropped or when he testified to congress, I think it would have had similar results. Letting them spray their firehose of bullshit lets them and their supporters rationalize their reason for backing Trump. Like you literally keep pressing this dude and watch him crack. He is terrible on defense and the 'counterpuncher' narrative is bullshit .

I'm so sick of being gaslit by Republicans day in and day out. They continue to spout nonsense so unhinged from reality that you can't establish a common basis for conversation with most people. How the hell do you even try to refute any of this when their reality bubble diverged years ago.

You don't. You just trigger them back by talking about the next president being a woman that will take their guns away from them. Just instill into them how hard the pendulum will swing once Trump is out of office.

Which story? There are tons and tons of articles about how Miami is turbofucked. You might be thinking of this one?

Here's another one:

It's not even really accurate to call this an open secret at this point. It's well known and accepted, it's just that nothing can be done no matter how much money we throw at the problem, so no one is really reacting to it.

Edit- It's worth pointing out that both of those articles are more than 2 years old, so the information they're going on isn't realistic anymore based on current data. Sea level rise will be worse (and faster) than what's being reported in them.

No problem. If you're interested in this stuff, it might be worth looking up Boston's waterfront development as well. The situation isn't as dire or unsalvageable as Miami, but it's still bad enough that the cost of protecting the infrastructure there is likely to drastically exceed the value of the infrastructure that already exists and that's in development.

Miami is the canary in the coal mine, but it's not even close to being the only place that's in trouble in the US.

I fully endorse Trump spending lots and lots of campaign funds to attack Biden before the nominations are determined. In fact, I would encourage him to have a laser-like focus on Biden and not waste time or resources on Sanders or Warren, as that would be a waste of time.

The more money the better.
