Trump Assembles Made-For-TV Legal Team For Senate Impeachment Trial | Th...

"Made for T.V. legal team???" hahaha, hardly.  Although they are well known figures, they are long past their halcyon days.  Dershowitz is planning to deploy a "Trump has King George's powers" defense that is without a single precedent in U.S. legal history at law.  So, good luck with dat!  hahaha.  While Ken Starr's only game is "legal switcheroo", a game I see no way of him playing here.  I can easily imagine that even the worst die hard Trumpist will be confused by him and unable to figure out which side he's working for.  It's quite obvious his intellect has suffered a great decline in the face of the relentless march of time, much the same as Giuliani, who cannot be allowed to be seen foaming at the mouth and spewing pure unadulterated lunacy in the Senate Chamber.  But, I guess it's a made for tv legal team in the sense that it would be very interesting and entertaining to see all the gaffes and blunders played out on the screen.

The 'Space Architects' of Mars | The Age of A.I.

Nice to see them thinking, too bad they don't ask me, lol!  I would have told them to save some of their money and instead of thinking in terms of building, they should think, instead, in terms of digging.  Think about it, digging involves using a lot less material, thus you can create much greater/larger spaces and with very little material as a coating for sealing and aesthetic purposes.



I've seen that they're now speculating correctly about where life on Mars is likely to be found.  Okay, here's the skinny: life on earth did not start with an environment we call habitable today.  In fact life's beginnings would be quite a bit outside of what we'd consider to be the "Goldilocks Zone".  If there ever was life on Mars, it would have started outside of our imagined ranges and finished even further away as time progressed.  Were there liquid water on Mars it would have created much the same weathering features it does on earth, transporting and dropping limestone for example.  There would be lava tubes and aquifers around the planet and as the planet cooled the retreating heat would draw the water and life down with it.

There are so many variables with chemistry that I'm inclined to think that there may be other chemical solutions that can encode for life, than just carbon based forms.  Since different temperatures and pressures yield entirely different results for what elements can do.  What I do realize is this; certain combinations of atoms / elements have an effect on quantum level mechanics and that is probably why we have chemical compounds that are able to spontaneously replicate themselves.

Well, enough for now, but know that there is more, a whole lot more coming as I watch and learn. Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.

P.S. Yes there is life on Mars and it is likely we'll find it if we look in the right places.
In case you're thinking of life needing our conventional requirements, watch and listen carefully to this: Hydrogen + CO2 metabolizing organisms anyone?

This is not a SDNY normal case, the information Parnas gave to Rachel was not useful to the SDNY, but it was useful to Congress and needed to be exposed publicly to be of use, where without it there could be a "trial" in the Senate without witnesses.  So prosecutors would weigh that. Additionally Parnas testimony is backed up by documentary support, while on the other side, the people he complains against have long ago shed their last shred of credibility.  So what's to guess at?  Does anyone still guess whether or not Trump is lying when he says things that don't seem to be true?

Herbert Hoover's mistaken idea's continue to deprive the nation of it's needs.  He thought that business was in the business of creating jobs, so that, if he gave them and the wealthy more money, they would use it to create more jobs.  The trouble is, no one makes money creating jobs, if that were true there would be jobs for everyone.  Creating jobs costs money, if the products those jobs create are not being sold, the jobs are a waste of money  The rich did not get rich by wasting money, they got rich by getting aboard products that would sell.  So, if the nation is in a depression it means that too few people have money to buy products, thus workers are not needed to produce any more.



Put money in the hands of people who need to buy food, clothing etc., and their spending creates the demand that causes industry to hire and the economy to grow.  Universal Healthcare is the standard in most first world countries around the world and they are doing just fine, they are not going bankrupt or suffering the ills these detractors keep fallaciously citing.  Don't be fooled again!

Schiff accuses Trump of "fudging" intelligence on threat from Iran

They are lying to Congress with impunity which shows that they believe congress no longer has any power over them.  They have successfully defied congress again and again, even Barr has been cited for his obstruction and nothing can be done to bring him to face a trial.  There is nothing congress can do to stop the President, so without the support of the people, sufficient to turn the Senate around, America is lost forever.  Next up, the absolute powers of the Presidency will be conferred to his white supremacist and nazi supporters and from there the next holocaust will proceed to get underway.  Thanks Trumpanista, you've turned America into a hell hole.



Politics Week in Review: Trump admin. faces scrutiny over intel that led...

Unfortunately Congress has lost most of it's power, since the President now controls all of the agencies the Congress relies upon to enforce it's demands.  They can issue charges but without the Senate and/or the Justice department there's little that can be done to check the President as we are seeing.  That means that if Trump decides that there should be no new elections, the Senate will be very happy with that and all the House can do is weep and gnash their teeth.  Meaning that if you are a Trump supporter you had better change that now, before it's too late, because once Trump calls off the next election, there will be nothing anyone can do about it and the America you once knew will be gone forever.
