Only the current generation of trees. The previous generations that have been broken down into soil are mostly not going back into the atmosphere as co2

They're not going to cast votes. This will all be done with recess appointments, and all of these "concerned" senators will "express their concerns" with the exploitation of the recess appointment process and lament that there was nothing they could do about it.

They had really hoped that Mr. Trump would cooperate with the advice and consent process, but what can they do if he pursues the recess route? It really is too bad and all of that.

That's the first thing I'm going to think of while panicking when trapped in the back seat of a burning car that's not mine: "pull a tab in the storage area of the door! It's hidden behind a little patch of fabric, of course!"

Elizabeth Warren had a great reaction about how the department of waste reduction has two leaders and apparently needs two people to do one job.

I think "habitual liar" would be fair.

It's easy to forget all the shit Ashcroft said he was going to do, like misinterpret existing laws to go after porn producers, harrass gay folks, all kinds of other Christofascist shit. Then 9/11 happened, and this is a pretty good summary of what happened:

he sought to sweep away any meaningful restrictions on his power and use the fact of September 11th to do so.

But this is an attorney general who treated dissent and criticism as if it was treason, who launched the largest campaign of ethnic profiling we've seen in this country since World War II, who sought… who treated judicial review and congressional oversight as inconvenient obstacles to getting the job done.

And I think ultimately he'll be seen as a disaster, both from a civil liberties perspective and also from a national security perspective.

You're an optimist. This decline is gonna be way more than a generation.

He said "which bank", which could be determined by the sniffing DNS requests, or seeing which IPs his computer is connecting to.

Not a breach of his personal information (assuming the bank that he's using and the client he's using after putting everything in TLS properly).
