[So what happened to all the investigations hysteria?  If on his G-20 trip Trump breaks into a smile anywhere within 50ft of Putin, will that be incontestable evidence of election collusion between Team Trump and Russia?  gjr]

    re: GR@8:33AM
    I admit that the belief system appears to be rather opaque. There’s literally 1000’s of times that the protesters are referred to as anti-globalist in the news, but what does that really mean? Open borders socialism perhaps?
    I thought it’s probably best to read their own words, I’ll keep hunting around for more.

    I was checking the tentative rulings on the Court’s website today and came across the Grand Jury reports which I briefly went through. I am wondering why the local media has not reported on the Grand Jury report outlining inadequate poll worker training…again.

    “Too much class time was spent reading the Guide aloud and not enough on the setup and operation of the equipment.” Shocking…

    Really Mary? Podesta is the one with ties to the Ruskys, and under investigation.
    http://nypost.com/2017/07/05/uncovering-the-russia-ties-of-hillarys-campaign-chief/
    “Lawmakers failed to seize on an alarming development in the Russia collusion story last week, one that should spark serious and immediate congressional inquiry.
    But it didn’t involve President Trump or his administration.
    During a heated Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chief John Podesta made a series of misleading statements when questioned about his involvement in a company that received $35 million from the Russian government while Clinton served as secretary of state.”
    “whack job”? It’s the likes of him and Hillary (and most LIBS these days) that fit that description.

    Requiting states to turn over voter information is the latest Trump flop. 45 States have said no way and now there’s this lawsuit.
    “President Donald Trump’s commission on election integrity has told states to temporarily hold off on transmitting the data it requested about voters due to an ongoing lawsuit accusing the panel of violating federal law.
    The Electronic Privacy Information Center is seeking a temporary restraining order to block the commission from collecting data, alleging that the panel is violating the 2002 E-Government Act by not undertaking a required privacy impact assessment. A judge in Washington, D.C., federal court is currently considering EPIC’s request.”

    Short of Weed Nevada Gov. Declares and Emergency!
    On Monday, however, Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval declared a state of emergency, citing the state’s low weed supply and urging his constituents to adopt some new regulation to encourage more production. Lawmakers and stoners alike can now predict responsibly that high demand and low supply will be a problem for each state that legalizes marijuana. In order to keep “emergencies” like Nevada’s from happening, we’re going to have to develop a smoother plan of attack for rolling out legal, recreational weed.

    ” “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

    Besides the incoherent structure of your comment, which I will attribute to the lateness of the post, my question still stands.
    Cap and Trade legislation [AB 398 (E. Garcia) & AB 617 (C. Garcia)] extending the program to 2030 is in print and will likely be voted on Thursday night. The elimination of the SRA fire fee is included in the package, clearly to persuade some Republicans to vote for the bills and reach a 2/3 majority.
    What will the perspective of this social group be if Republicans vote for Cap and Trade in order to eliminate the fire fee? Will you continue to support your Republican legislators because this is the normal ‘horse trading’ of a legislative process or will you reject them for supporting climate policy? What is it guys, pragmatism or ideology?
    It is an interesting conundrum for some here.
