Just to clarify- the NYT didn’t really make an oopsie on “climate change”, they just didn’t give the story the proper attribution. They weren’t aware that the report had been previously uploaded to some obscure non-profit website. Other than that the story is totally legit. The WP is taking the opportunity to ding their competitor.
John Bolton, a former undersecretary of state and U.N. ambassador for a year under President George W. Bush, about a week ago urged in a WSJ column that the US attack North Korea. (Paywall: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-military-options-for-north-korea-1501718189) That reminds me, since Trump’s inability to focus caused nuclear launch codes to be scrapped when he became President, was John Kelly able to swap out Trump’s nuclear button for a tiny, hand-held (for tiny hands, natch) remote garage door opener?
.
Power-addled but rational Kim vs delusional unstable Trump. Maybe there’s common ground in narcissism.
Don’t forgot the other Trump investigation, emoluments: http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2017/08/09/trump-emoluments-lawsuit-schedule-241443
‘
“A lawsuit contending that President Donald Trump’s business dealings with and in foreign countries violate the Constitution is set to get a public airing in October in a New York federal courtroom.”
.
“The Justice Department is defending Trump in the litigation and contends that the foreign emoluments clause does not cover routine business payments, even if foreign governments are involved.”
.
Of course they’re routine payments. A. $33,000 a night hotel suite? Run of the mill: https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/08/10/cost-election-night-trump-hotel-dc-luxury-hotels/ $100 million for a $40 million house? Happens every day: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article135187364.html#0
.
Lots more real estate matters to examine at too: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/06/13/trump-property-buyers-make-clear-shift-secretive-llcs/102399558/
.
“Since President Trump won the Republican nomination, the majority of his companies’ real estate sales are to secretive shell companies that obscure the buyers’ identities, a USA TODAY investigation has found.
.
Over the last 12 months, about 70% of buyers of Trump properties were limited liability companies – corporate entities that allow people to purchase property without revealing all of the owners’ names. That compares with about 4% of buyers in the two years before.”
Libs silencing Diamond and Silk? Pathetic attempt to silence and damn body who supported Trump! Typical lib tolerance, huh? Absolutely disgusting. They.Will.Never.Stop.

What y’all need is RuTube.

They know about propaganda.
You really don’t get why they’re pissed? I get that you’re on the other side of the aisle, but they are genuinely being surpressed by YouTube, albeit legally. It would be like someone telling you you can practice real estate law but not write up wills. They’d be messing with your earning potential, which you know ain’t honorable or the right thing to do.
