Republican Congressman Wants to Know: Were There Civilizations on Mars Thousands of Years Ago?

This is who’s in charge of science in the US government

During a hearing of the House of Representatives’ Committee on Science, Space and Technology today, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Mars) asked a panel of planetary scientists if they would rule out the possibility that there was “a civilization on Mars thousands of years ago.”

Somehow the scientists managed to keep a straight face while answering this chowderhead.

Rohrabacher is a good example of the ignorant morons we have running the United States these days, and the fact that he’s a member of the House Committee that deals with science and technology is a disgrace and a fiasco. For more evidence of what a complete disaster this guy is, have a look at his website’s page on climate change.

I’m shocked that Dana Rohrabacher isn’t accusing Martians of throwing 60-lb bags of heroin over the wall.

What a maroon.

Maybe the answer to Congressman Rohrabacher’s question is actually “Yes”!
There WERE ancient civilizations on Mars ages ago…

Until conservative governments took power and officially denied the existence of planetary dessication and ocean-loss; deriding it as an anti-Martian plot by dishonest scientists looking for handouts from sinister media interests….

We used to go party up at Percival Lowell’s mausoleum up on Mars Hill near the Lowell Observatory, we lived at the base of it in Flagstaff.

And don’t forget, that was where astronomers first discovered Pluto, the non-planet…

re: #283 Stanley Sea

Chris Coons just said that when the yam went and talked to Putin at the dinner, it was a long time & that he did not bring a translator, relied on the Russian translator with Putin.

I’m not sure, but my understanding is when an official of the US government meets a foreign government official, it is a requirement to take a US translator (to ensure that what is conveyed both by the foreign official and the translator are accurate).

I’m guessing if this Hill/Washington Examiner report is true, the GOP will ignore that as well.

Rohrabacher’s website links to the George C. Marshall Institute.
More about them from DeSmog Blog:

In a 2009 essay, former Executive Director Matthew B. Crawford had this to say about his initial experience with the Marshall Institute (emphasis added):

“… certain perversities became apparent as I settled into the job. It sometimes required me to reason backward, from desired conclusion to suitable premise. The organization had taken certain positions, and there were some facts it was more fond of than others. As its figurehead, I was making arguments I didn’t fully buy myself. Further, my boss seemed intent on retraining me according to a certain cognitive style — that of the corporate world, from which he had recently come. This style demanded that I project an image of rationality but not indulge too much in actual reasoning.”

Newsweek has described the George C. Marshall Institute as a “central cog in the denial machine,” and Naomi Oreskes has said that the Institute has lobbied politically to create a false perception of scientific uncertainty over the negative effects of second-hand smoke, the carcinogenic nature of tobacco smoking, the existence of acid rain, and on the evidence between CFCs and ozone depletion.

No. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet. The argument continues, since when it was discovered in 1930 it was designated as a planet, but since then doesn’t meet the new definition. (By some definitions, Earth doesn’t either, for example, has cleared its orbit of debris.)

Eris is considerably larger than Pluto, and was immediately classified as a dwarf planet.

There’s already 7 Democrats (and 1 Libertarian) signed up to challenge Rohrabacher next year. His was one of the districts in Orange County that split its vote between a GOP Congressman and Hillary Clinton. There’s a good chance that he’s going to end up a casualty of Trumpism.

I imagine that recording of Ryan talking about Rohrabacher being one of Russia’s congressmen could be used in certain negative adverts either by the Democrats or Libertarians.

Seven Democrats could be a problem though. The Dems need to coalesce behind one candidate rather than get into a knock-down drag-out that damages the eventual winner.

That Trump was not joined in the conversation by his own translator is a breach of national security protocol, according to Ian Bremmer, president of the Eurasia Group, though one that the president likely would not know about.

If not him, certainly his staff. There were State Department translators available to him at the G20 meeting. Other State Department staff knows of these things.

I can actually buy a president not knowing every last detail of the job: That’s one of the reasons we have a professional civil service that transcends the politics of the day.

I don’t know the details beyond the Hill’s article, but I’m guessing either the State Department itself didn’t know of the second meeting (so they couldn’t advise him), or he rejected having a translator.

Neither of those looks good. With the GOP’s monomania on turning the USA into a feudal nation, I doubt they care.

We have a blanket primary out here where the top two vote getters move on to the general, so I’m not sure it’s necessarily a problem in the way that it traditionally is in party primaries. Also, interestingly, according to wikipedia at least, pretty much every Republican incumbent in California has multiple challengers already, while most Democratic incumbents don’t even have one challenger yet. Then again, as I’ve said recently, the CAGOP is a complete shitshow.

If there are too many sensible alternatives, they can knock each other out, leaving the field to the top 2 crazy candidates. It doesn’t always end as well as the primary race for the California Senate, especially in a district that has repeatedly voted Republican. It’s analogous to what happened in the Republican primary for the state legislature in my state district many years ago. The 2 sensible women who shared similar views each received about 32% of the vote, while the male religious fanatic won about 36% (numbers aren’t precisely right — but you get the idea). He would have been trounced if only one of the women ran. If, for example, the 7 D candidates each get about 10% of the vote, Rohrabacher (Russia) could get 15% and the Libertarian 15%, leaving the Dems out in the cold, even though if 2 ran, they could each have gotten 35%.

I don’t mean to bash on you, but ever since I was old enough to understand politics (Nixon), I have never seen the GOP be anything but reactionary. They’ve been fighting against Social Security since the bill first passed.

When I cast my first vote for Jimmy Carter in 1980, I was proud of the vote and saw no reason to vote for any GOP candidate then. I still see no reason now (which is why I turned in a blank ballot except for president and village board this time round).

The Libertarian isn’t going to get much more than 2-3% (there wasn’t even a Libertarian on the primary ballot last year). My guess is that if Rohrabacher looks to be in trouble (say, primary polling below 45%), the CAGOP will find someone else to get on the ballot. The district is still R+7, so I’m sure they’ll be able to find someone. If not, the real number to watch will be Rohrabacher’s primary percentage - he got 56% in the primary last year and 58% in the general (when turnout came close to doubling).

Or maybe he shouldn’t have had the whole thing take place in the backroom. But that’s the only reason why it went this far in the first place.

Except cobbling up some sort of backroom/off-the-record/Republicans-only “done deal” beforehand was basically the only way McConnell was going to get a legislative abortion like the BCRAP past the Senate. He ignored/dismissed the Democrats, as usual: but with only a two-seat Majority (three if you count the VP), he didn’t have a lot of room for maneuver. And with Trumpcare about as popular with the voters as a persistent STD, his leverage with more than a few GOP Senators was going to be shaky, too say the least.
It’s no wonder he felt he had to resort to procedural trickery to try to slip the abominable bill up efforts a vote: Lyndon Johnson, at the height off his influence as Senate Majority leader, just MIGHT have been able to pull something like this off: But Mitch McConnell is no LBJ by a long shot….

re: #74 Anymouse 🌹

I don’t mean to bash on you, but ever since I was old enough to understand politics (Nixon), I have never seen the GOP be anything but reactionary. They’ve been fighting against Social Security since the bill first passed.

When I cast my first vote for Jimmy Carter in 1980, I was proud of the vote and saw no reason to vote for any GOP candidate then. I still see no reason now (which is why I turned in a blank ballot except for president and village board this time round).

Oh, I’m aware of that now. But I was raised Republican, and it wasn’t until the Republicans killed Senate ratification of the U.N. Charter on the Rights of People with Disabilities IN FRONT OF BOB FUCKING DOLE because of Rick Santorum’s batshit conspiracy theory that the Charter was a globalist plot to kidnap children with disabilities that I came around.

Rohrabacher has been in Congress since ‘79, and was a Reaganite back in the day. For most of his career, he hasn’t had to worry about being in a contested general election. Being aligned with Reagan in Orange County in the ‘80 and ’90s, and probably into the ’00s wasn’t a bad spot. I think he started to lose it after 9/11, and then got swallowed up by the wingularity by ‘08 (when he blamed Georgia for starting the conflict with Russia.

Never considered that possibility. That it’s not to silence the press but to silence the Donald?

Still not a justification

No, definitely never justified, but it’s obviously why it’s being done. It’s there because managing Trump’s mood is a full-time job for the entire White House, and seeing his spokespeople struggling has to infuriate him, as we know he has been with Spicer. With Trump being the way he is, he would be constantly irritated at those two, Spicer because he seems weak and harrassed and was mocked by a woman, and Huckabee because she’s not classically beautiful and that’s paramount to him.

I was not “raised” in any particular political party. My family (all military vets) were insistent that military (and vets) should not be involved in politics at all.

Thus, my mother (a Navy vet) never voted any time in her life until Tammy Duckworth was running for the Senate and Trump for the White House. She registered to vote for her first time.

I became aware of political positions because I was a paperboy for the Detroit Free-Press in the village in which I grew up in Michigan. By the time I was old enough to vote, I was already aware the GOP did not have America’s interests at heart.

All my life I have been (in the military and politics) under an an affirmation I would die for the Constitution if necessary. That includes Freedom of the Press.

Journalists who become famous are not those who take the safe route. They are those who do things like infiltrate enemy lines to talk to opponents. Those willing to risk their careers (like Bob Woodward) to get the facts of a corrupt government.

It is quite clear: Just like the II Amendment open-carry wingnuts that assert their right to open carry firearms, the press must assert its right to do its constitutionally-protected job.

If the press rolls over for fear someone might threaten or kill them, then they will lose the right of Freedom of the Press.

Katy Tur was not deterred. She persisted while she covered the Trump campaign. Lauren Duca of Teen Vogue is the same.

They are standing up for the right to inform the public. They should be supported, not told “well, take the safe route.”

Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze, 52, is the eighth person known to have taken part in the unusual Trump Tower meeting on June 9, 2016, The Times has learned. His identity was not previously disclosed.

Kaveladze, who lives in Huntington Beach, is an employee of a large Russian real estate development firm. He was the focus of a scathing congressional inquiry in 2000 into alleged Russian money laundering through banks in California and New York but was not charged.

Investigators for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is leading the federal probe into possible coordination between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government, have asked to interview Kaveladze, according to Scott Balber, Kaveladze’s lawyer.

Balber said his client was “cooperating fully” with investigators. Mueller’s office declined to comment. No one answered the door or the phone at Kaveladze’s three-story home in a gated community in Huntington Beach. A dresser and other small pieces of furniture sat on the front lawn.

That said, folk here who have reported on his posts over at Twitter say he’s fallen full Trumpster (aside from his family claims about voting - which also gets me wondering: neither my sister nor my mother asked me who I voted for - Why was Dark Falcon so concerned about his father on that issue?)

Don’t be fooled by Shep. He gets to be the conscience every once in a while.

Remember how indignant he got in the aftermath of Katrina? Kim Davis? The Iraq War?

It’s part of his job description.

I admit I am not fully up on the characters many of the Fox News people play on TV.

If Clinton has connections to Russia, why did Russia collude with Trump and reveal harmful emails which targeted only the DNC?

Fox “News” sounds really desperate and stupid.

Logic is not a conservatives friend.

Out of the loop today. What’s Molly’s tweet in reply to? I know it’s about Trump, obviously. But I can’t figure out exactly. lol

I’m guessing it was about him saying he doesn’t want to own this healthcare fiasco.

The Lord Haw-Haw of our times. Only this untalented, one-note turd is as funny as a root canal with no anaesthetic.

Hannity is the Lord Haw Haw of our time. Bill Mitchell is just some random Hitlerjugend singing the Horst Wessel Lied.

So Trump has a 2nd meeting with Putin and Putin’s translator, in secret. Uh. Putin speaks English himself… Anyone want to take an educated guess as to what that translator’s real line of work is…

Pimp?

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
