That was the plan for this administration all along. Trump is a Russian asset. He has never been interested in helping Ukraine achieve peace.

Duh!

If you look at this from Turnip's point of view, it's about both profit and stalling or stopping any lawsuits related to these chemicals. A personal injury lawsuit is more difficult to prove if the use of those chemicals is not banned. It's about selfishness and helping his wealthy friends who will now owe him a favor.

The framing gets sealed and protected from moisture. It is not exposed to the outside. Exterior exposed wood is either pressure treated to resist rot, is a species that is naturally rot resistant, or it is painted.

Remember, the article is talking about altering wood to be both transparent and biodegradable. That sounds like a window to me. That is a role that is currently filled with either glass or plastic. You would not choose a biodegradable material for exterior use and most windows are used on the outside of a structure.

I'm skeptical of this for two reasons.

1. The thing that makes plastic as a building material so useful is that it takes forever to degrade. Biodegradable building materials seems like it would be counterproductive and make the problem worse, not better.

2. So far, every time some new variety of biodegradable plastic comes along, it turns out to be a big fat lie.

If we assume that this is a move for Putin against NATO, the US taking control of Greenland could result in Russia gaining a naval staging area to attack Europe.

But that is the thing. Trump is the ONLY president in the last 70 years to publicly express an interest in this. Considering Trump's apparent loyalty and dedication to Putin, I have to assume that this is entirely Putin's idea. Trump is too stupid to come up with this plan on his own and acquiring Greenland only makes sense if the end game is to cut ties with Europe and strengthen ties with Russia. Otherwise, it's more beneficial to the US to let Denmark be responsible for governing there.

Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin! They are both a cancer on the world and we will all be better off when they are both gone.

Translation: Denying interest in this tells me that this has everything to do with Russia.

Prior to Russian puppet "Trump" talking about taking over Greenland, I had not ever heard of a US interest in having more control over that area. The US already has a military base with a naval port there. Unless the plan is to break a bunch of treaties and destabilize Europe, there would be no need for the US to annex Greenland.

Isn't it about time for Putin to fall out of a window?

The problem is money, trademarks, and brand identities. You only associate Playstation with video games because it has been around for a long time. I remember when those came out. Prior to 1994, Playstation was not a thing.

Creating a new standard to unify and simplify things seems like a good idea, but the result usually only adds to the confusion. Relevant XKCD.

For this recipe I would use tomato paste. But if I didn't have any on hand or I didn't have one that was open, I would just use a tablespoon or so of ketchup. The extra vinegar from the ketchup would not be out of place here.

If they had focused their campaign on helping the middle class, helping the poor, and acknowledged that Palestinians are people too, they would have a chance.

If they focused on environmental issues and the rights of individuals they would have had a chance.

If they had called Trump a criminal, because he is, at every stop, they would have had a chance.

If they did all of those things, and meant it, they would have won!

Instead they tried to appeal to business owners, Republicans who don't like Trump, and people with money. That's not what Democrats want. That's not who Democrats are. That, is why they lost.
