Brian Morley, attorney for Shekter Smith may have said the profound words for Flint to date, “I understand the frustration. I understand what happened here, but, you have to make sure it is the right people that are being punished.
Flint has yet received justice for it’s trauma.

Twenty years ago, the USA government believed this was simply a 15 to 20 year PHASE for Earth.

...2010–2019 (click here) was the warmest decade since records have been kept of the Earth’s temperature, beginning in 1979. Over the past five years, the Earth’s temperature has been between 1.1°C and 1.2°C above preindustrial levels....
Ten years of record setting global temperatures is not a trend that will end, but, a profound reality of the climate crisis on Earth.
Europe witnessed its warmest year ever recorded in 2019, while the rest of the world experienced its second-warmest year on record, marginally behind 2016’s unprecedented conditions, according to the European Union’s Climate Change Service.
2019 was the fifth year in a series of “exceptionally warm years,” scientists found. The most pronounced warming was measured in Alaska and across parts of the Arctic. ...
I and many others never believed Earth was simply going to straighten out in 20 years of some silly cycle. There was and is absolutely no historic record of a 20 year cycle. It was a politically propagandized position and I suppose it saved many jobs. The one person inside the government that never stated such totally wrong rhetoric, James Hanson (click here).

...Hansen (click here) provided what’s considered the first warning to a mass audience about global warming when, in 1988, he told a US congressional hearing he could declare “with 99% confidence” that a recent sharp rise in temperatures was a result of human activity....
Thirty long years in carrying forward the climate crisis message and it was all ignored. Why? Because of Big Oil. They paid the bills for a corruptible Congress. Is there any reason those that ignored all these years of warnings, scientific evidence and professional articles and white papers, should be re-elected to continue the same corrupt priorities?
2019 saw a tipping point by losing it's carbon sinks, the reefs, the forests and any moisture in the land. Is there any wonder as to why fire tornadoes reached as high as three miles into the troposphere?

The US House did the hard work needed to bring a valid impeachment to trial in the Senate. It is not Speaker Pelosi's fault that Moscow Mitch is corrupt to the core.

After weeks of uncertainty (click here) about next steps in Trump’s impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter Friday that a resolution will be brought next week for representatives to vote on transmitting articles of impeachment to the Senate—which means the Senate’s trial will begin shortly thereafter.
- Pelosi has been withholding the transmission of the articles until she was assured that Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell would ensure a fair trial would be held.
- According to Pelosi’s letter, “Yesterday, [McConnell] showed his true colors and made his intentions to stonewall a fair trial even clearer by signing on to a resolution that would dismiss the charges.”
- Pelosi’s letter also says that while the House was able to obtain enough evidence that Trump exhibited impeachable conduct, four new developments have strengthened their case.
- House Judiciary Committee chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) will bring the resolution to the House floor next week, according to Pelosi’s letter, and she will consult with the Democratic caucus Tuesday on how to proceed....
Speaker Pelosi was correct in asking the US Senate to present it's rules so decisions as to who would present the articles to the US Senate could be made. Little did anyone know, Moscow Mitch isn't interested in the USA Constitution so much as politics. I think he is losing on the politics, though.

...But in the latest installment of our survey with Ipsos, (click here) where we use Ipsos’s KnowledgePanel to poll the same group of respondents every two weeks, a majority (57 percent) of Americans said they think Trump committed an impeachable offense. Fifty-two percent said they think Trump’s actions regarding Ukraine or his refusal to cooperate with the impeachment inquiry constitute enough evidence to remove him from office....

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine (click here) told reporters on Friday that she is working with a “fairly small group” of fellow Republican senators toward a goal of ensuring witnesses can be called in the chamber’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump....
I think it would be a surprise if Senator Lisa Murkowski changed her position in any way. She embraces the ethical demands of the USA Constitution in providing an open and fair US Senate hearing.
...Murkowski told NBC affiliate KTUU (click here) that she believes there should be distance between the Senate, which will serve as the jury for [President] Trump’s impeachment trial, and the White House. McConnell’s comments, she said, have “further confused the process.” "To me, it means we have to take that step back from being hand in glove with the defense,” Murkowski said. ... Murkowski told KTUU she is committed to observing Trump’s trial objectively. It would be “wrong,” she said, “to prejudge and say there’s nothing there.” To jump to conclusions about Trump’s guilt would also be unfair, Murkowski added....
