She herself said that SC judges shouldn't be appointed in the final year of a presidential term. 

Disappointing for somebody who will be sworn into a lifelong post displaying such staggering hypocrisy although unsurprising for a Conservative.

She's a member of a group (cult?) that says that wives should be subservient to their husbands.  I think they have to sign an oath or something, and it's a pretty low profile group and I don't think she has acknowledged being part of it and the group made some statement about not commenting on members.

A bit scary.

So even more Gilead type stuff. Great.

As far as I can tell, she is well qualified and extremely right wing, which is absolutely standard for the highly professional conservative legal movement.

She has also quite a lot about 'precedent.' The idea that once a decision has been decided by a court that the decision stands and any re-litigation of the same case has to be carefully measured.

Her view - if she disagrees with it she's quite happy to go back and change the verdict to fit her opinion. Especially when it's guided by her imaginary friend or the secret handmaiden society.

Seems Trump paid more for sex than tax.

On another note this makes me more than livid. The IRS audited me for 2016 last year. 2016 was a bad year for me freelancing.

I ended up paying thousands more than I should have just to get them to leave me alone - at least $7k once all was said and done. F*ck Trump and this shitty Capitalist bollocks.

A plot of high temps measured at the locations of large recent (past few years) Californian fires over that last 100yrs would suggest nothing overly abnormal about this particular year in terms of max temps. Most of this is the result of recent wet years following a large number of dry years and piss poor human behavior/strategic planning that is much more related to what happened in New Orleans after Katrina (well known issues with levee maintenance).

It is massively tragic, but ascribing individual events as evidence of climate change is a fundamentally incorrect way to frame the conversation and simply provides an easy way for those on the oil burning side of the fence to poke holes in your argument by simply ignoring the facts and running to statistics 101 or any number of well worn tactics. Don't play their game.

 

Who seems to have a better grasp of the issue? The seemingly random posting guy in the sub section of an Aston Villa forum, or someone who has dedicated his life to the natural world?

Brad Parscale sectioned after a suicide attempt. Hopefully because he knows what's about to happen next.

Yep - No empathy from me.

His enablers are bad enough but the leading cult followers can all drown in a pit of shit as far as I'm concerned.

Following Trump should mean immediate sectioning.

How do you spend 70k on your hair and have it end up looking like that?

I'm not sure there's a huge amount of tax evasion going on, I think he's broke. This very stable genius managed to bankrupt a casino ffs. He's a terrible businessman who inherited a fortune and squandered it. He'd have been better off putting his money in a savings account than using it to fund his business ventures.

His followers will probably find his avoidance of paying tax as a positive unfortunately.

Plenty will just say it’s fake news. The Times say they can’t actually show the tax records (to protect their sources) so you have to trust they are telling the truth. His supporters don’t believe the Times tells the truth.
