I'm going to have to purchase Excel to organize all the impeachable offenses popping into view. 

I bet Rex would be agreeable to talking to the House inquiry.

Its like, what high drime and misdemeanors will be uncovered today?

Its both extraordinary and depressing that the depth, level and duration of the  Trump crime family corruption and perversion of our deomcracy has been enabled by the willing accomplices of an equivocating cowardly Republican party.

I wonder if Sen. John McCain was still alive what his take would have been on the traitor in the WH?

And i say that rehetorically, I did not support McCain on his politics, but he was a real-deal imperfect American hero who loved this country, and i suspect would have fought the traitor at every turn.

According to another US defense official, the US has shared a list of "no-strike" locations with the government of Turkey, which goes beyond just where US troops are located and includes Kurdish areas, including SDF-controlled prisons holding ISIS prisoners that the US sees as necessary to the fight against the terrorist group.


Keep that new info coming.  Thanks  CNN

Of course, that didn't prevent the Turkish forces from bombing a US Special Forces base. Nor has it kept the ISIS prisoners from getting out.

This is kinda bizarre:

Down in the Situation Room, several others would have been listening. One person monitors the call to make sure the line is not interrupted. Others are tasked with documenting what is said. No audio recordings are made. The memorandum of the call, the telcon, which the White House has released, is the closest thing to a word-for-word transcript that is produced and is the official presidential record of the conversation.

“When I got to the Situation Room and my predecessor explained this incredibly inefficient process that we use, I had a lot of questions,” said Larry Pfeiffer, a 30-year U.S. intelligence veteran who managed the Situation Room during the Obama years. “I said ‘Why don’t we just record the call and write a transcript based on that?’”

Pfeiffer said his predecessor told him that the White House stopped taping presidential calls in the 1970s when President Richard Nixon recorded 3,700 hours of conversations, transcripts of which were used by Watergate investigators and during impeachment hearings that followed.

Pfeiffer said White House lawyers finally approved the idea of having a duty officer, wearing a headset, sit in a separate room, and repeat what was said on the call into voice-to-text software — again without creating any audio recording.

Individuals familiar with Trump White House procedure say one Situation Room staffer, using voice-to-text software, repeats each word the president says and another listens and repeats what the foreign leader says. The software turns the words they repeat into text and a rough draft of the telcon is produced.

That draft is given to subject matter specialists on the NSC, who edit the draft for accuracy. Each draft is separately preserved. After it’s finalized, it’s turned over to the national security adviser — Bolton, at the time — or the deputy, who was Kupperman, for their approval.

The deal I just made with China is, by far, the greatest and biggest deal ever made for our Great Patriot Farmers in the history of our Country. In fact, there is a question as to whether or not this much product can be produced? Our farmers will figure it out. Thank you China! Other aspects of the deal are also great - technology, financial services, 16-20 Billion in Boeing Planes etc., but WOW, the Farmers really hit pay dirt! Chuck Grassley, Joni Ernst, Deb Fisher, and Ben Sasse - Thank you to all Republicans in Congress for your invaluable help!

So now they are after the legendary “crime buster” and greatest Mayor in the history of NYC, Rudy Giuliani. He may seem a little rough around the edges sometimes, but he is also a great guy and wonderful lawyer. Such a one sided Witch Hunt going on in USA. Deep State. Shameful!

------------------

I hope that the new trade deal with China is a great one, and I hope that China is buying a lot of cheese and wine from California. We can also send them avocados, and oranges, and other stuff. And I wish the best for the other states as well, including Hawaiian pineapple, Florida oranges, Idaho frozen French fries, Wisconsin cheese, etc, and even Kentucky Bourbon, and beer from Milwaukee. The USA really needs a good trade deal with China. I need to read about what is happening with the deal Trump is talking about.

And I like Rudy. I have always liked Rudy. Rudy would be a great Vice President.

So maybe some good things are happening so far as trade.

Salute,

Tony V.

The suicide rates in China have been high, maybe if they have more money, and more time off of work to socialize, and party, then it will reduce the suicide rates. They can drink wine, and beer, and Bourbon, at parties, and they can socialize and support each other, and this will reduce the number of suicides in China. They can also smoke pot. And of course it has been shown that coffee drinking reduces suicides, and coffee too is a social drink.

You can read about the Roseto Effect if you are interested in reading about how socializing helps your health. Just scroll down a little on the page...

And here is an article about how coffee drinking reduces suicide risks...

A good trade deal with China can help the Mental Health of their country, along with helping workers in the USA, China needs to get the party started, and we will send them everything they need to wine and dine and celebrate and socialize, and to better enjoy life.

Salute,

Tony, we should also introduce them to acupuncture, foot massage, green tea, tai chi, herbal medicine  and non-missionary position sex.   I think they already have bourbon, though.

Rudy would be a great Vice-President.

He would be the best VP in the history of the world!

France and Cyprus are conducting naval maneuvers off Cyprus as the east Mediterranean island nation is embroiled in a tense dispute with Turkey over offshore gas drilling.

------------

It is very important for France to be strong, and for the allies of France to stand with France.

Peace through strength is what needs to happen. We need peace on our own terms.

Salute,

Tony V.
