The GOP reps barely showed up for Cohen's testimony today.

Dem Rep Maloney just told Chris Hayes that the GOP was not interested in today's testimony and those who did show up began to slowly filiter out. Apparently since there were no news cameras the GOP couldn't grandstand and it wasn't worth their time.

SDNY is coming at Trump like syphilis. It's gonna make him crazy, and it's never going away.

"Elie Mystal Nails It" By Red Painter Feb., 25, 2019. Crooks And Liars

"I think what it tells us is SDNY is going to be part of Donald Trump 's life for the rest of his natural life. SDNY is coming at Trump like syphilis. It's gonna make him crazy, and it's never going away. Everybody's so worried about, like "Oh, the Mueller report. Is it going to happen this week? Is it gonna happen next week? When is it going..." SDNY is going to be HERE. It's going to be here NOW. It's going to be here when Trump is out of OFFICE. It's going to be here for his FAMILY, it's going to be here for his GRANDKIDS if he's not careful. So, overall what we see today is SDNY continuing to pull threads on the Trump Organization, which appears to be pretty criminally implicated in the lots of different ways and they continue to pull that thread."

"...the SDNY is not limited in scope like the Mueller investigation is, to just looking at collusion between Russia. The SDNY can follow the money. And they seem to be following the money and that should be terrifying for Trump and Jared and Don Jr. and Eric and Ivanka."

"...nobody needs to win this election more than Donald Trump."

The State of NY is like syphilis to tRump and Manafort...

it will not go away and will be there waiting to pop up and nail them. Elie Mystal, editor of Above The Law, made this analogy on Chris Hayes (MSNBC) today when discussing how the state can charge the moron and his campaign manager for all types of crimes even if both are pardoned. His family and personal businesses will be a huge source of crimes to investigate for years and years to come. Good!

Interactive map: what will the weather be in your city in 60 years?

https://fitzlab.shinyapps.io/cityapp/

"The central contradiction of climate change is that it is at once the most epic problem that our species has ever faced yet it is largely invisible to the average human. From the comfort of your home, you may not realize how climate change is already affecting mental health, or ripping apart ecosystems, or how cities like Los Angeles are taking drastic measures to prepare for water shortages."

"The challenge for scientists, then, is raising the alarm on something that’s hard to conceptualize. But a new interactive map is perhaps one of the best visualizations yet of how climate change will transform America. Click on your city, and the map will pinpoint a modern analog city that matches what your climate may be in 2080. New York city will feel more like today’s Jonesboro, Arkansas; the Bay Area more like LA; and LA more like the very tip of Baja California. If this doesn’t put the dire threat of climate change into perspective for you, I’m not sure what will."

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
