Back to the #TrumpTrial #day2

During #CrossExamination this afternoon, #Trump #lawyer Jesus #Suarez tried to pin the blame for #inflated #FinancialStatements on Trump's fmr #accountant, #DonaldBender.

Suarez noted in his questioning that #Bender was the only #CPA compiling the documents, & that others involved like #AllenWeisselberg didn't have that level of expertise. (Um, he was the CFO - the Chief Financial Officer 🤦🏼‍♀️)

Back to the #TrumpTrial #day2

And - of course - again, during the lunch break, #Trump slammed the judge's #LawClerk (another civil servant targeted by TFG)

Trump blasted Judge Arthur #Engoron's #law #clerk on #socialmedia shortly before the lunch break, & then amplified the #attack in brief remarks to reporters afterwards.

(So presumably he posted the first attack while in the courtroom in the presence of his lawyers)

“What we’re involved in is a momentous time in our culture,” he [Gordon Wood, historian] said. “We’re going through a great atonement, trying to atone for the 400-year legacy of slavery. The 1619 Project is an aspect of that great atonement.”

Today on #Day2 of my #cop15 #HistoricalEcology mini series, I would like to stay in West Africa, looking at two further dimension of human/biodiversity relations here. Firstly: overall forest dynamics. We tend to assume that, other than human caused deforestation, forests are stable - hence vegetation maps like these, with WA 'forest zone'. And hence the intriguing historical puzzle of West Africa's famoua "forest kingdoms" (Benin, Asante, Yoruba) - how did centralisation occur in forests?
