The money behind the #FederalistSociety is no mystery. Charrles Koch has given it $6.5M directly since 1997, plus shifting $$$ through other ‘non-profits’ (Donors Trust & Donors Capital Fund, plus collecting a network of other billionaires and corporations (“#KochNetwork).

I'm uncomfortable with Trump's recent language re: Kim Jong-un - I thought "Little Rocket Man" was more appropriate - but it's pretty obvious what he's trying to do. I question the conventional wisdom that denuclearization should be negotiated behind the scenes by bureaucrats.
The bureaucratic approach doesn't work with psycho dictatorships like North Korea. It's been tried for 30 years. NK always does the same thing: make a few symbolic, easily reversed concessions, pocket everything they were given, and start the whole damn thing again.
The recurring problem is that North Korea calculates the pressure against them will always abate long before they reach the point of real desperation. They don't think any replay of this game ever ends with them having no choice but to completely denuclearize.

1⃣Last night I gave my first public lecture on extreme weather since being "investigated" by Rep. Raul Grijalva in 2015. In the lecture I tell a story and present updated, consensus science on extreme weather. Let's get started ...
2⃣I started with a disclosure of everyone I've voted for in presidential elections since 1988. I also included who I supported in 1980 (John Anderson, of course), the first election I can remember actually following, when I was 12 and in 7th grade.
3⃣I start with the Wikileaks releases of John Podesta's emails in 2016.
I turned up in them. I know. It's nuts.
In them a staffer at the Center for American Progress emailed Podesta and billionaire Tom Steyer to brag about getting me removed as a writer for Nate Silver's 538.

Thread: there has been lots of recent discussion over the lack of transparency of political donations & #darkmoney in the Tasmanian election – Tasmania has no political donations law so the only disclosure is as a result of the weak national legislation #tasvotes #politas #auspol
2) Under federal electoral law in 2017/18 only donations to political parties over $13,500 have to be disclosed – but they won’t be made public by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) until Feb 2019, well after the current state election #tasvotes #politas #darkmoney
3) Enforcement of political donations is the responsibility of the AEC. If you if don’t vote at a federal or state election, you are fined … but failure to disclose political donations goes unpunished #tasvotes #politas #darkmoney tasmaniantimes.com/index.php/arti…

@QE_101
[PART 2 of 3] 14. But lately, Q has appeared on the scene, revealing new information that has been validating all of my thoughts.
15. One of the key revelations of Q has been overlooked by many: Military Intelligence (MI) has the same Special Access Programs, and thus intelligence access privileges and information, as the CIA: archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/147…
16. Thus, MI operatives of the MIC potentially could discover who committed 9-11 and why by reading NSA-gathered communiqués, should they so choose. They could also confront other MIC elements (CIA/NSA) in order to interrupt their programs against American citizens.
