Video resurfaces of Marjorie Taylor Greene saying she wouldn’t take down a statue of Hitler
Footage from 2020 city council meeting shows then-candidate opposing removal of Confederate monuments and hypothetical statues of Hitler and Satan to ‘teach others’

Well, this will make for a great attack ad.

The New York state attorney general’s office said on Tuesday it has told the Trump Organization its investigation of the company run by former President Donald Trump is now a criminal probe, not purely civil.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat, has been investigating Trump’s pre-presidency business dealings for more than two years.

"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature," spokesman Fabien Levy said in a statement. "We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA," he said.

The Trump Organization could not immediately be reached for comment.

Vance’s office has said in court filings it was investigating "possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct" at the former president's Trump Organization, including tax and insurance fraud and falsification of business records.

Vance's probe began after Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen paid hush money to silence two women before the 2016 election about claimed sexual encounters with Trump.

Handy link from NASA about scientific consensus on man made climate change for debates

This is what I post most of the time and rarely do I get a response back other than by complete fools:

And exactly what makes you an expert? The debate is over. Every scientific organization on the planet says it's man made. I don't really care what Jim from Charleston on Facebook thinks. I am going to listen to all these scientific organizations:

Snip> Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals1 show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree*: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources. https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

You can see all the organizations at the link.
