[...] The ordinary means for an individual to respond to an accusation is through a speedy and public trial, with all the procedural protections that surround a criminal case. An individual who believes he was wrongly accused can use that process to seek to clear his name. In contrast, a prosecutor's judgment that crimes were committed, but that no charges will be brought, affords no such adversarial opportunity for public name-clearing before an impartial adjudicator." Mueller can't charge the President. Since he can't charge the President, he won't accuse the President. Since he won't accuse the President, he had to walk back his sincere but impolitic statement that "yeah, we would have indicted anyone else, but him we can't." Edit: By the way - I am wholly in favor of impeachment. Yes, the Republican Senate will refuse to follow through. I acknowledge that. Let the Democrats stand for America and the rule of law, while the Republicans stand for greed and the rule of power, and in time the arc of the moral universe will bend toward justice. --- I don't like this duchy.

Then why doesn't Denmark just release it outright? I mean, I know exactly why the United States would be interested in buying Greenland is moreso than strategic but also the rare earth metals that China has been gobbling up deposits of around the globe to try and create a monopoly on. So, I understand our reasoning. However, the Denmark reasoning for why it is absurd kind of doesn't make sense either. If Greenland wants to join the US, it'll happen. But they need an incentive for that and giving Denmark a bunch of money doesn't help Greenland.

"Take life expectancy: Greenland women: 74 Greenland men: 68 Those numbers are surprisingly low for a high-income country. In Denmark, which still partially controls Greenland, men live about a decade longer." "Greenlands economy depends on exports of shrimp and fish, and on a substantial subsidy from the Danish Government. Fish account for over 90% of its exports, subjecting the economy to price fluctuations. The subsidy from the Danish Government is budgeted to be about $535 million in 2017, more than 50% of government revenues, and 25% of GDP." "Significant challenges face the island, including low levels of qualified labor, geographic dispersion, lack of industry diversification, the long-term sustainability of the public budget, and a declining population due to emigration. Hydrocarbon exploration has ceased with declining oil prices. The island has potential for natural resource exploitation with rare-earth, uranium, and iron ore mineral projects proposed, but a lack of infrastructure hinders development." "Unemployment rate: 9.1% (2015 est.) 10.3% (2014 est.)"

Denmark has that shit. Greenland does not. Again, so at worst they have dual citizenships, actual protection, a bigger bank to rely on, and they probably industrialize more (eliminating unemployment some) when the United States starts unearthing their rare metals and creating a source of income that the United States is eager to tap. Probably causing some immigration there to fix their negative momentum there. Increasing GDP. Tourism will increase with the publicity.

Local politicians want to exploit these resources with an eye on becoming fully independent from Denmark.

red sox 777 08/20/19 3:00:41 AM #166:	What I'm saying is that there's no reason to believe the US can provide investment capital that Denmark can't. And if Greenland wants to be independent, joining the US would seem like a terrible idea as they will surely have less autonomy under the US than they have now with Denmark. As for defense, the US already defends Greenland. Not that there's anyone to defend them from - who is going to attack Greenland, an island of mostly ice in the Arctic Ocean with only friendly countries nearby? And Greenland has been associated with Norway and Denmark for over 1000 years - as far before Columbus as we are after him. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:926297842] in Politics C...

It's very useful to have an alternate source for the trade war!

Biden leads Trump 50-38. Among those who have a negative view of both Biden and Trump, Biden leads 43-10. lmao. It's a comprehensive poll really and honestly probably the most devastating one I've seen for Trump yet. They polled Biden, Sanders, Warren, and Harris against Trump. Trump failed to break 40% each time. All four democrats led by at least 6. (Biden 50-38, Sanders 48-39, Warren 46-39, and Harris 45-39.) The Democratic Party has a net favorability of +6, Republican Party is -13. Trump's net favorability is -14. Specific to the primary: Biden has held completely steady at 31% from March, Warren surged from 4% to 20%. Sanders cratered from 23% to 10%. Harris held at 8%. Warren leads with voters under 45 and those who identify as "very" liberal. All 4 have very high net favorability among primary voters. Sanders at +71, Warren at +69, Biden at +67, and Harris at +58.

Trump on "Drawing the country together" vs. "Tearing the country apart" is 31-59. Approval for how Trump handled the recent mass shootings is 37-52. People think the Trump administration has made the country less safe from a mass shooting by an American citizen 46-15. Lack of gun laws tops the reasons why people think mass shooting happens so frequently in the US vs other countries. Background checks favored 90-7, Assault Rifle and Semi-Auto ban at 67-27.

Given Biden's history with Millenials, he would absolutely deserve it because it'd be one of the least authentic things he'd ever done. And I'm not sure Harris would get mocked for this like Biden would. Bernie has publicly called for unionization in the game industry, and has been streaming on Twitch. If the others led the way on either of those things, Id be forced to accept their gamer cred or that they care about gamers. Also Im only being 75% serious, because the idea of gamers as a class of people is a great meme. --- Phantom Dust.
