what are the chances there morons corrupted the NICE server?

i dont know much about this stuff, besides what malcolm nance taught me, but depending on how it was done and by whom, hiding their stupid on the top server in all of IC would be considered a severe breach, and everything on it should be considered contaminated.

this is explicitly against the law, but also a national security crisis, all on it's own.
but who knows how many of these idiots poked around or fucked something up. to say nothing of outright espionage. but even absent that, somebody pull the damn fire alarm at 1600 penn ave, will ya?

i think i need a 'read the transcript' tshirt, except

i want the back to have a list of the crimes that have been alleged in the testimony, and by whom.

there is a trumpkin in my life, and at this point, i have laid down the line that i will discuss this shit only after he has actually reads the transcript of that call, and all the testimony, and watched the hearings on the teevee.

original documents is gonna be my rallying cry against the liars.

i think bloomberg is a lot like jb pritzker.

very similar cv, tho jb inherited his money.
but a history of philanthropy that is very well done and smartly targets.
mara gay from nyt on 11th hour right now w a very interesting take on the man.

i welcome him to the arena, for fucking sure.

this is fun.

dear anonymous,

i think i have a plan to trigger 25a, in a full medical panic, that interestingly enough contains a nugget of evidence for a separate, but extremely enlightening to the m.o. of the cheato mob impeachable offence-

30 years ago i had a tia.
it was about a 20-30 minute episode. rt side of my face tingled, as did rt arm.
my language disappeared. i was speaking, but could not be understood. in the er, i looked at the signage, and i knew there were letters, but i had no clue what they meant.

and that was pretty much it. by the time i got to the er, it was almost over.
the usual emergency measures werent taken because i was pg, but i got plenty of tests, even 30 years ago.

i think it would not be hard to convince this menace that he had had a mini-stroke, and needed to go to walter reed.
a little pepper spray in his spray tan, and enough confederates to insist that they have no idea what he is saying, and he is strapped to a gurney, and it's all over.

since there is reason to suspect that you are cia, i am sure a little novacaine, maybe some other goodies, and he would go into full meltdown, we cart him off, and we are done.
all the weasels have their life raft.

the sweet thing here is that this opens up, at least to professionals, is dr ronnie feelgood's bogus physical.
he lied from the whitehouse podium, and we all know it.
and he got a reward that he was clearly not fit for.
impeachable.

and then we can throw in defrauding the public w his dr weirdo letter.

we can go ahead and impeach and indict and make him pay for his crimes if he can still be deemed competent for trial after his mri. honestly, that particular out would suit me just fine. only president removed from office for mental incapacity would be a most fitting place in history.
and we can impeach pence, barr, et al at our leisure.

convince me i'm wrong.

a thing that cant be overlooked about the blue wave.

ok, 2 things- it's a rainbow wave, period.

the big thing, tho, is that it isnt just a wave of voters, it's a wave of candidates.
great candidates.
the bottom of the ballot is alive, and pushing this wave like crazy.

illinois didnt just dump the ruiner, they swept into the collar counties in big, big numbers. fueled by many, many new and irregular voters. this is exactly what they are pointing at about the shift in the suburbs.

this is what democracy looks like.
there's no stopping this wave people.
as my (many of our) old friend will pitt once said to me and the rest of the cegelis campaign on election eve- stout hearts.


eta- i tried to find will's old post, but i cant seem to get in du2. any search wizards here? election eve 2004, prolly in illinois. i actually have a hard copy somewhere, maybe. it had a story about u.s. grant.

can the impeachment committee please, please pretty please, subpoena

dr ronnie feelgood, and the full medical record of his one and only, heretofore annual, presidential physical?

then you can add utter unfitness for office, which was knowingly concealed, via a bribe of a higher government office, as the final article of impeachment.

thank you.

eta- bribery likely seasoned w a little extortion.

will we ever see algae oil/gas?

i have questions.

so the bp commercials are adorable and inspiring w their little skimmers swimming around the pretty pond. it's something that has been just down the pike for a pretty long time, even tho i keep hearing how simple it is.

so, is it actually simple?
this fits w my forever pet peeve w cafos, and using that shit for something. seems like it would be a potent feedstock for algae.
can you turn a manure lagoon into an algae pond?
pretty sure the tech for the skimmers is solid. what else needs to happen?
once you have algae, how do you turn it into gas?
is this a thing that could happen in rural america?

can you use any old algae?
so, can you skim the toxic algae blooms on lake eire, and around florida, then process that?
that seems doable. i assume that just dealing w the toxins would be a whole thing, but like always, strong shit is good for shit.
what do we know about the toxins? i know there is cyanide involved, and that bond is packed w energy. gotta be useful.

a side issue is that i have heard about algae used as a feed additive. seem to me if you can grow good algae on manure, you have a pretty tidy little loop there.
is this happening anywhere?

thoughts?

ya know, if i had to pick a dept of the federal govt that did the most good,

while putting up w the least evil, i would have to say the state dept.
throughout all this, i have seen people like micheal mcfaul, and wendy sherman, and their intelligent and moral understanding of wtf is going on in this country, and it has been inspiring to me.
i cant say i have a special knowledge base here, but it seems to me that i have heard an awful lot of stories of u.s. ambassadors, and those of other countries, standing up to tyrants throughout history.
i remember a story about joe wilson appearing in iraq w a noose around his neck, but i dont remember the details. his truth telling to w was a sight to behold.

but i gotta say, i have never appreciated them until i saw masha yovonovich marching through the parking lot, in her pearl and perfect dress.
and the parade of patriots stepping up to tell the truth has blown me away.
i have no idea why the turtle and the rest havent walked down penn ave to tell them it is time to get on the helicopter.
they gotta know they are outgunned, and it is time to fold.

can i hear it for the state dept?
who's got stories?
