The cancellation of the shovel-ready #HamiltonLRT will certainly damage future growth & development in the #Hamilton area, but there will be other fallout; it will cost taxpayers tens of millions to cancel signed construction contracts.

1/3 #HamOnt #onpoli #ResignDougFord
New developments along the route were sold on the LRT being there. It’s all but certain that developers with sunk costs will sue the province.

Individuals who bought condos on the promised LRT will be suing developers.

There will be a domino-effect of cancelled projects.

2/3
There are likely businesses along the LRT route who have signed long-term leases at higher rates given the promise of increased traffic from the LRT & the condo developments it inspired. Suddenly that rug has been pulled out from under them. Lost revenue and lawsuits.

Nadler: is it correct that if you concluded POTUS committed the crime of obstruction, he could not publicly state that in his report or here today?
Mueller; The stmt would be that you would not indict because under OLC, a sitting president can't be indicted.
Is there a DOJ policy/principle which sets forth that an investigated person is not exonerated if evidence for criminal conduct is not conclusively determined? Republican Rep John Ratcliffe asks Mueller
Mueller says he can't point to a specific instance where this has happened before, begins by saying it's a unique situation, but Rep Ratcliffe interrupts him before he can fully answer.
"It was not the SPC job to conclusively determine Trump's innocence," Ratcliffe continues.

How can we as #Americans accept that our government is responsible for the #genocide of #Yemeni civilians? How can we as a society not demand by every means necessary for the world's greatest #Humanitarian #Crisis to end?

#Yemen before #War
#Yemen a beautiful country full of beautiful #Yemeni who simply want to be left in peace. A country that's only fault is it's location in the world. A location that for the #US is strategically located close to #SaudiArabia, #Iran, and #Israel.
The #UnitedStates #Indoctrination and #Propaganda machine #FakeNews would have the American people believe we are helping to ensure peace and stability in the region. This is a claim that by now ALL AMERICANS should know is false!

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

AN EMPIRE OF PUREST EVIL

It's a contradiction in terms. Pure. Evil. An evil distilled thru the years to the purest form of evil possible. Its proponents believe it is always right, always pure of motive, always correct in its actions. It is the U.S.A., purest evil on our planet.
AN EMPIRE OF PUREST EVIL

It all began quite well. Another evil empire was confronted & beaten, that of the Nazis. U.S. troops were heroes as they arrived, albeit belatedly to help embattled Britain as she fought valiantly & single-handedly against the purest evil of those days.
AN EMPIRE OF PUREST EVIL

WWII was the U.S.A. at her best. At home tho people were unsure whether they had anything to gain by being involved. Many said they did not. And at least 20,000 who attended a Nazi rally in New York in 1939 would have fought with the Nazis if they could.

Nunes was put on Trump’s transition team for a reason - to protect him and Kushner from the Russia probe they knew was coming.
2. Nunes has a vested interest in discrediting Mueller.

Nunes had breakfast with Turkish foreign minister and Flynn just before Trump's inauguration. As Mueller's indictment shows, Flynn was an undisclosed, paid foreign agent for the Turkish government during Trump's campaign.
3. The week before the Nunes-Flynn-Turkish FM breakfast, Flynn met with NSA at the time, Susan Rice, and asked her to hold off on implementing an anti-ISIS plan that involved arming the Syrian Kurds. The Turkish government vehemently opposes any plan that would empower the Kurds.
