  1. Jeff Green — No, the House of Representatives impeaches. Impeachment is a charge. The Senate tries the charges.

  2. There is snow on the runway but it is dry? Must have been dry ice. It's colder there than I thought!

  3. There was a garrison of Argentines there for about three months in 1833 who were expelled by the British. A few years earlier, some Argentines were expelled by the US Navy for interfering with sealers from the United States. There were never Argentine settlers.

  4. Without knowing exactly what happened, in detail, we do not know that lack of testing explains it. It could be that the module was corrupted after testing, for example. It is also the case that every end user affected installed it without their own testing. Why are companies updating their software without testing? Automatic updates could be an aspect of the problem.

  5. Crimea is legitimately Russian. It was annexed to Russia in 1783 and was part of Ukraine only briefly and merely for administrative purposes.

  6. All reporters are not software engineers. You cannot reasonably expect to get the details of a software problem from the news.

  7. Ignorant remark. The difference is that we are causing climate change on a human time scale, which is disruptive to our lives. The planet isn’t being destroyed. Earth will survive. The question is, how long will humankind survive?

  8. No. It is simply a consequence of the asymmetric geometry. The RV was close to a large, sturdy wall on the left (west). There was much more room on the right. When it exploded, there would be high pressure on the left and lower pressure on the right. Air (and other gases) will move to equalize pressure, so the heated air and combustion gases moved toward the center of the street.

  9. Andrew MacDonald — They won’t, because Johnson won a large majority in the Commons.

  10. The EU should just let go. No deal. No extension. Clean break.

  11. Baldwin is certainly not a scapegoat. He is the person who pulled the trigger, as well as the executive producer. A scapegoat is a minor player who takes the fall to protect the higher-ups. Baldwin is the higher-up.
    1
  12. Baldwin appears to be the person most responsible.

  13. Betta Blue — Hard to say. That didn’t play out in public to the extent this has.

  14. Free Spirit — A “not guilty” plea is normal.

  15. Source?

  16. No, murder requires intent.

  17. It appears to me that the noncombatants are hostages of the hard-line resistance.

  18. No, I would not assume he is knowledgable and responsible about such things. Why would I? I don’t know him, but he does not seem to me to be especially level-headed.

  19. Only the Trumplicans should feel shame, but they are shameless.

  20. No, anyone who has to handle a firearm is obligated to learn to handle it safely.

  21. Baldwin deserves to be sued for this. There will be more suits. If this one is without merit, then it won’t succeed, but most will.

  22. What decision is that? Do you have documentation?
    1
  23. It was decided two weeks ago. The recounts are just a sideshow.

  24. That would be assistant director Halls, who was charged and who took a plea deal.

  25. Sometimes.

  26. Ukraine has bullies also. I think the western nations are foolish to choose sides between Russian bullies and Ukranian bullies.

  27. The news reader did mention the wall. This is straight reporting about the current status of the investigation.
    1
  28. First, weed out the Trump appointments.

  29. I don’t find anything sympathetic about Assange. He isn’t actually a journalist. All he does is publish any stolen documents he can get his hands on. When he was evicted from the Ecuadorian embassy, he didn’t have the dignity to walk out like a man. He’s a pathetic creature.

  30. Teddi786 OG — News doesn’t have to help you in your life. Anyone who is not intetested in the story may ignore it.

  31. The prisecution is based on the law, not on whether he is haunted by his actions. If his conduct was reckless or negligent, then he has some culoability.

  32. The West must NOT help Ukraine, militarily. The idea that we would fight Russians directly is crazy. Ukraine got into this situation by thinking they could join the West and the West would protect them from Russians. That was delusional thinking. We should offer humanitarian aid when possible, though.

  33. He won’t be able to pay off the NM authorities if they decide to charge him.

  34. Small planes do not require a co-pilot, at least in the USA.

  35. Mr. Muldoon is mistaken. A lead bullet was fired. It was a large calibre, going through Ms. Hutchins (causing a fatal wound) and striking Mr. Souza.

  36. katy henderson — The House impeaches, the Senate tries the impeachment.

  37. That accuser has no credibility. Nobody talks about that anymore.
    1
  38. That's a dumb reason to sue somebody. Walk out and demand a refund, maybe.
    1
  39. We don't know exactly how this happened. There probably was some kind of testing procedure.

  40. She died at the scene of the hospital. Why do people have trouble understanding this?

  41. No, American democracy has not died. On the contrary, American democracy allowed the people to vote our fascist president out of office, despite his best efforts to prevent it. The Republic is alive, if not entirely well.

  42. The Senate has no direct say in whether any aircraft is grounded or not. The MAX has been grounded much longer than any other aircraft with a defect, so Boeing have clearly not received favorable treatment from the new FAA administrator.

  43. If you buy it, you can scrap it.
    1
  44. Do you mean "only in America" that someone should be shot negligently, or "only in America" that we would prosecute for it? I don't think either is exclusively American.
    1
  45. I don’t think that was insane, or even foolish. But flagrant disregard of safety protocols is reckless. I would say criminally negligent.

  46. Calhoun is not the person who messed up the company.
    1
  47. There are two sides to most issues, including this one. I'm not defending Begum, but certainly others have a right to speak on her behalf.
    1
  48. This is completely wrong. More than a hundred have been arrested. We know who they are.

  49. I like Farage but part with him on his opposition to the method of voting in the U. K. It is election by plurality which produces majority government when there are more than two strong parties competing. An alternative voting system might well have produced another hung parliament.

  50. The current generation is probably the last.
