Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, it was mostly yelling at the universe in frustration. I've been "recycling" since before it was a public thing - collecting cans as a kid and badgering one of my parents to haul me and my stinky bags down to the scrap metal yard and to this day I'm faithfully squinting at the embossed symbols on the bottom of packages. It just burns me that half of what we do is co-opted by industry groups to give us feel-good moments while the problem accelerates. We are poisoning the planet and at some point will make the ecosystems that we all depend on collapse. Life on Earth won't disappear, but the likelihood that we will be among the survivors is slim.

:)The most likely way life would be scoured from Earth is with a runaway greenhouse effect like on Venus. Beyond a certain point heat-hardening of proteins simply doesn't work anymore and all living things die. But it's not like we as a species are irresponsible enough to heat up our planet to the point where permafrost melts, right? Right?

It's why I prefer MMA where they're fighting with different styles, it's more interesting. Two grapplers will just close and wrestle; two telepaths will just lean at each other and wiggle.

Yeah, I'm confused. Doesn't this indictment mean he can be compelled to testify now?

And he's already OUT. I told you guys he wouldn't spend a day in jail. If they'd sent the goddamned Sergeant at Arms to do this instead of farming it out to the DoJ, he'd have sat his fat ass in a cell until he complied.

Fucking wimpy Dems.

First thing I check online when I wake in the morning. So disappointing, so far.

"Bad Boys Bad Boys, Whatcha gonna do...whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"

Looks like laugh and walk right back out.

The very same thought occurred to me. And I did want to puke, as well.

Nope. The penalty for criminal contempt is $100-1000 and 30 days to one year. Inherent contempt is $100,000 and locked up until you appear…

I thought the lawyer's briefs had gotten into a knot.....

They just say any damn thing, then delay for years and hope for a new government to cancel the investigation.

Hope this one can actually get to the grinding teeth part of the legal consequences someday.
