[Well, the old year is going out like a lion. The whole county got plastered with its biggest snow storm in years, and there's more to come. Power went out 1215 this morning, and our new 24KW powerbox has been humming along ever since. Everybody will be ordering propane. Time to hunker down, stay warm, and pray for RAIN. gjr]

Last week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused to commit to “basic transparency” about Hunter’s divestment from an investment fund owned by a Chinese-state entity during a White House Press Briefing. She also refused to admit his infamous laptop is authentic.”

My best working theory is that it just doesn’t have political traction. People who think the Bidens are a bunch of pervy grifters don’t vote for The Big Guy in any case.
Team Blue voters (the people you want to convince) simply doesn’t care that there are 100’s of dick-pics-with-prostitutes (and family members) of the First Son. I’m thinking that the average Democrat admires Hunter for both his sleazy ways and his ability to weave money out of nothing but a last name. The Bidens livin’ the Blue Mob Dream.

Sandbox, Dec 5, 2017. And you where there:
“The entire intelligence signed on to the conclusions in the Intelligence Assessment. Do you deny that Walt?”
“Gregory
It was because the entire Intelligence community concluded that the Russians had been interfering in our elections and Obama instilled sanctions that the Russians opposed and were using as leverage to prevent the deal that Flynn and his former partner had been working on. Flynn contacted him to say that Trump was calling off the sanctions and their project would be able to go ahead. So Russians say do this for me and I’ll do this for you. Collusion for sure if true.”
———————
The walls are closing in. I’m sure Mueller has direct testimony on this from Flynn the Flipper
“Democrats on the House oversight committee said in a letter dated Wednesday that the whistleblower reported attending an inauguration day event with Flynn’s former business associate Alex Copson, the managing partner of ACU Strategic Partners.
The whistleblower said Copson gushed that Trump’s inauguration was “the best day of my life” because it meant his company’s effort to create a U.S.-Russia energy partnership in the Middle East, which reportedly would have included more than two dozen nuclear plants in the region, was moving forward. Copson said Flynn was making sure Obama-era sanctions, which he claimed threatened the nuclear project, would be “ripped up,” according to the whistleblower.”
“George
If it can be shown that Trump instructed Flynn to lie to the FBI would you consider that an impeachable offense?”
Walt
So the spe3culation is that Flynn called his former business partner on inauguration day saying that their business deal would go forward because he was making sure the Obama imposed sanctions would be torn up removing that obstacle to the deal because the Russians would then approve the deal. Collusion? Duh

with all the contacts that the Trumpers had with the Russians it is inconceivable they don’t have a book of information they can release whenever they want to. Trump still talks like Putin is his long lost brother so they know they’ve got him so they don’t need to do anything.

reply: OK everybody, you just read it. Paul Emery’s new, new, new standard of proof is:
“it is inconceivable”
That’s it – any time Paul asks for proof, just roll your eyes and say: “oh Paul, it’s inconceivable!”
I’m glad we have that all settled.
No more digging up facts and citing sources.
Thanks Paul – this will be way more simple.
George Rebane
Administrivia – Well sumbich, ScottO (643am) and PaulE (over the years) have made a milestone contribution to these debates. I’ve often wanted to use ‘it’s inconceivable’ as the only support for one of my arguments, and always I’ve backed off with ‘Nah, nobody would accept that.’ But then, conceivability is in the eye of the conceiver, and why shouldn’t my conceivables be as valid as the other guy’s conceivables? So henceforth let it be known that personal conceivability is now an acceptable citation and element of proof. I can already see various levels of conception coming into use, with the indisputable level, from which all other ripostes must shrink, called ‘immaculate conception
Go Paul, go!
George
It is safe to speculate that the Russians would use the same techniques and enthusiasm to gather information negative to Trump that they did with HIllary, to obtain leverage if Trump goes south on them. I mean this is a group that hacked emails with negative information towards Hillary to help swing the election towards Trump, There are of other examples of Russians attempting to and in some cases succeeding in hacking into our election computers and election offices.
They indeed took Trumps encouragement when he said ” I will tell you this, Russia: If you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
That is indeed encouraging a foreign country to break the law of which they obliged and made their findings available to Wikileaks for publication
Yes, my speculation that it is inconceivable that they would not peruse the same tactics against Trump is a more than reasonable speculation considering recent history. The material they gather would then be available as a bargaining chip, to put it likely, they could use against Trump when necessary. (Blackmail!)

[Now, you remember that time Trump used an opposing candidate’s stolen e-mails FOR his political benefit against Hillary. Trump used STOLEN e-mails. Sounds eerily familiar. Anyway…]
Yes, at this point I agree that there is no clear evidence they succeeded in swinging the election but there is much evidence they tried and there is much evidence the Trump team solicited their aid. An example:
On July 8, 2017, Trump Jr. tweeted that he agreed to meeting yhe Russians with the understanding that he would receive information damaging to Hillary Clinton.

I was thinking about that today.
Given two strong tendencies
. Building systems with more complexity/interconnects/etc. for small marginal gains in efficiency (many of which are government mandated).
. The tendency for companies to provide barely standable goods and services at the lowest price, implying that things break under load.
You can expect it to get worse rather than better. Cascading failures, power/communications/transportation systems that are run on the ragged edge. Lotsa single points of failure. Just give us a few more years when the all-electric home and car is mandated. Yee haw.
It’s nice that Musk provides internet that isn’t subject to some local guy cutting a fiber line with a backhoe. I would think that any local company would look into getting that and joining it with their current service (bonding? is that the word?).

I can only imagine what Carrie Drive on the Dogbar side looks like. Imagine what Rattlesnake must look like. Little Valley Road has been in the blotter a lot lately, either for some agitated disagreeable cad in the neighborhood or for falling trees. Keep in blocked in.Don’t let him out, lol.

WSJ editorial mocks auto manufacturers getting ‘double-crossed’ by Biden admin: ‘Hard not to get a chuckle’

Well, at least EVs don’t make that ‘gurgling sound.’ —VP K. Harris. And did you know we all have been mispronouncing her name all this time? The Dem JV team portends quite the bleak future with its very weak lineup. Varsity team don’t look much better. Mercy.
Biden walks away before or after the mid-terms?

Daughter and Son-in-law live high up on the South end of Alta Sierra. They just got power back a few hours ago. Still can’t get out with all the downed trees.
C’mon Son, I taught you better than that. You have a chain saw,and a 4×4, get with it.
Hell! The storm of 91 (or was it 92?) was a doozy. three feet of snow @ 1400 feet! Indian Springs road had a tree across it about every 50 feet. Had to plow and cut our way down to PV.
We didn’t wait for the county to do their job. It was neighbor helping neighbor. Just like the good old days.
Power out for days, and never thought of generators.
Now where did we hear,, “snow like this is a thing of the past”.
There is an army of young folk that can help clear the roads of trees and such. Look in on the elders nearby. But it seems they are more concerned that the PlayStation is dead in the water.

Walt. I remember that storm. There was a ton of snow. Around or exactly on Valentine’s Day. The Denny’s across from (then) Albertsons was closed, but if you paid in cash, the nice nice caring older waitress would let you in and cook up something easy on the grill for you and warmed up some coffee for ya.
It was so high that the mountains piled high of snow in the plowed parking lots must have taken all spring to melt. I remember the seeing road half the road sign in front and just the top of another street sign. And after shoveling the driveway out to the street, the county trucks would come by and leave a huge burm. Those plows did not worry about any pedestrians getting showered with snow.
The thing I remember most about that storm was using my buried front axle on the 4×4 beater GMC pick up as a nice plow to get through it. Keep moving and hope you don’t get high centered. Pushed old Betsy through until with out warning she pushed no more,
The other thing I remember was KNCO on the air telling people to quit flipping off the plow drivers because it’s starting to get to them. Not appreciated. They are our neighbors, our valued public servants. They are clearing the roads and, yes, are making 4’-5 berms and blocking you all in…again, but quit yelling at them to f-off and giving them the double fisted middle fingers, lol.

If I remember correctly, a warm week of rain melted it all. The valley looked like an inland sea. 500 year flood. Water from the Coast range to these foothills.
