and in this case provided an interesting possible reason why Vienna was the destination for the two guys arrested last night at Dulles, as well as for Rudy.

Firtash under house arrest in Vienna, fighting extradition to the US, connected to the Russian mob and Putin, may be the source for manufacturing dirt on Biden!

Damn.

The First Chapter being just like the novel which has the longest list of personages connected through family, business, lineage, marriage, ancestry and social position. People usually put the book down after the second or third page before the story even begins.

What does the utility mean when it says the blackouts will help reduce fires? Sounds strange. Are they wholesale replacing aged transmission lines? If so, why not run parallel lines and then do one switchover that would affect customers for only a few hours?

since two weeks ago was when we actually had real wind conditions that could have been a problem. This was a BS strong-arm move by PG&E, because the PUC opened a formal examination two weeks ago into their Chapter 11 reorganization plan. "Be a real shame if we were held accountable for yet more wildfires and disasters that are clearly our fault."

They’re just turning off the power when they think their equipment will start a fire. That’s not too hard to predict in CA.

And they don’t do extra stuff to help keep the power on.

Fri Oct 11, 2019, 06:36 PM

Are their transmission lines (transformers, breakers, ect) grossly underdesigned for the power loads that they are transmitting? Are their generating plants throwing off live ash that can land and start fires? If the last case, why don't they buy up land around the plant and make it more resistant to catching fire?

I love how Rachel called them idiots because by using the US government they are leaving a paper trail and Schiff will nail them because of it.

Trump will be impeached by the House. I have no doubt.

..when his lawyer is looking for a good lawyer to get him out of the mess he cooked up with Trump.

"Paper trail". That's something a mob endeavor doesn't have to deal with, and there's the difference between Trump and a president.

And yet, (non-black) American voters continue to support them. Democrats are always forced to clean up their messes. Making tough decisions leads to voters putting Republicans back in office only to do the same thing over and over again.
