I don't think Bannon was the contact, as there are text messages that state that Bannon won't return Stone's calls. Could be Manafort, I guess.
On or about December 1, 2017, STONE texted Person 2, *And if you turned over anything to the FBI you*re a fool.* Later that day, Person 2 texted STONE, *You need to amend your testimony before I testify on the 15th.* STONE responded, *If you testify you*re a fool. Because of tromp I could never get away with a certain [sic] my Fifth Amendment rights but you can. I guarantee you you are the one who gets indicted for perjury if you*re stupid enough to testify.*

Brazen to try and pass another tax cut for the wealthy with the nation's finances what they are.

anyone who thought the foxconn deal was real was either lying to your face about it, or too stupid to realize how blatant a scam it was.
#1, the LCD business is circling the toilet, a simple google search could have provided this to anyone
#2, they dont need any additional capacity, again, google
#3, there is no way such an industry can support a USA assembly plant
literally 30 seconds on google to see this didn't pass the sniff test.
republicans are either too stupid to care .... OR they are you lying to your face.
it really is that simple.
social conservatism: the mortal fear that someone, somewhere, might be having fun.
If there was still any confusion, Turtle McConnell has confirmed that voter participation in our democracy is bad for Republicans and the GoP will fight it.
Wouldn't want everyone to have a day off work to go vote, especially people who can't afford to.

in reality, wind and solar are actually price competitive with fossil fuels, and other countries are using them as majority power sources.

There is a power choreography problem, and there is a storage problem, but we're well below the point of diminishing returns on solar installs. Cost, yes, no argument there for the marginal install case, but that doesn't mean it's a fully viable replacement technology. We should do more of it, but also continue to develop alternative base load.
Obviously you aren't going to fully replace base load with wind, but it's much better to have flexible base load at low cost and carbon consumption (ng turbine) so that you can gracefully meet demand conditions.
The single biggest factor in reducing carbon output in America has been fracking causing reduction in coal base load.
At any rate there is zero chance the world writ large meets carbon emission targets so it's not unreasonable to write the benefit of lowering carbon emission to zero, in the full knowledge that some other geoengineering solution will be deployed if and when things get bad. I don't relish this position, but it's been obvious for a decade at the very least and implicitly part of the public discussion since at least "freakonomics".
Obviously that's less ideal than global action twenty years ago to convert to nuclear, which is the only reasonable alternate history for agw, but it's over now. If fossil fuels bring more people out of poverty more rapidly (global scale) they can absolutely be net positive.
Now, if the argument is that incentives for new industries in the Midwest is good from a demand side economics perspective, I absolutely agree.
The GOP problem is also best explained by Lawrence Lessig. They're greedy first, racist scum second, though both can be true.
