AOC Joins Calls to Investigate Cuomo Nursing Home Scandal | The Mehdi Ha...

Andrew Cuomo has been among the best governors in the nation while struggling to work under a terrible federal administration.  I, sincerely doubt we should be looking to punish Andrew for a relatively small error.  As far as him threatening someone, the claim sounds way too petty and childish to be a real action from a highly intelligent leader. I'm very sure that if Andrew wanted to threaten someone, he could find better, more subtle and effective language without being as crude as one would have us believe.  Andrew is not Trump!

So then, deregulation had nothing to do with it?  If I recall, one of the arguments against government regulation of businesses was: "These businesses would not harm themselves". Unfortunately, every time businesses are deregulated, they opt to take the path to increased profits at the expense of best practices, not only harming their own businesses but harming their industries as well.

A vote for Republicans is a vote for deregulation, which means that profit seeking companies have no reason to spend extra money on infrastructure issues that don't impact their operations immediately.

Historically, Republicans take power and spend, spend, spend money on nothing that does the nation any good and block and ignore all of the nations needs. They spent nothing on infrastructure, nothing on the nations health crisis until it was too late, then politicized the science and attacked the institutions that we rely upon to keep things running smoothly.  They've broken everything and messed up royally since they "got the keys back" from Obama, who took the wheel after they'd "run the car into the ditch". 
Four more years of Republican rule would have been more than the country could take, we might well have done better under Putin than Trump.

Watch live: NASA's Perseverance rover set to land on Mars

Why do I think there was once life on Mars?  Well, the rust on the surface seems to me to be one hell of a big clue.  You see, when the earth cooled from a molten ball of rock and seas formed, life began very quickly and long before there was oxygen in the atmosphere in any appreciable amount.  Oxygen is so active it easily compounds with very many other elements such that there would be little if any of it free in the air.  

My guess is that this would also be the case on Mars, water, an atmosphere but very little free oxygen.  So then, where would all that rust come from?  On earth we had a similar circumstance.  In our case cyanobacteria released ozygen.  Then the oxygen combined with iron in the water and it coated the earth in rust deposits.  I would imagine that pretty much the same would have happened on Mars.  

After the earth cooled enough to have liquid water it didn't take very long for life to begin, so I'd suspect that early life isn't all that difficult to get started. Cyanobacteria would probably develop just as quickly and so there's only a need for Mars to hold its water and atmosphere for only a few hundred million to a billion years to reach the point where it can rust the iron out of the water. Otherwise one needs to find another source for all that free oxygen to rust all that iron. It didn't happen on earth without the assistance of life, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't happen on Mars either.

As the planet cooled its water would, following what we see here, sink into the soil and become a permafrost layer.  The planets volcanic/tectonic activity would probably create aquafers, lava tubes and erosion would create caves and caverns.  Some of these voids could fill with water and be held there for long periods of time.  Assuming that the interior of the planet didn't cool all that quickly, this buried water could have remained liquid for a very long time, perhaps as much as a couple of billion years.  So it will be very interesting to see what these explorations can find.

Okay, okay, okay, fall for this kind of garbage, and America is done.

All he needs is to make the papers as a victim of some fraudster and it's all over.  Oh yeah, a third party will cost him big money and end in a dismal failure.
