I have a feeling we will be having a very bad fire season,

Precipitation totals for the state are dangerously low, especially since this is normally our rainy season.
25% - 50% of our normal amounts for this time of year.

Since NSA can't stop Putin from hacking the midterms, will Mueller

step up his investigation in order to protect the midterms? The Moron isn't telling the NSA to do whatever it can to prevent another hacking this year, which is currently continuing and the NSA said that they need him to stop the Russian efforts that are up and running. Would any new evidence by Mueller about past election hacking be useful now to help or would it more likely jeopardize a thorough and complete investigation that would take more time?

What is the "May Day hand gesture" that Hope Hicks gave to the moron today?

Jeffrey Toobin was just on CNN and they were discussing that the Moron started tweeting a lot today to take attention away from Hope Hicks during her testimony with the House Intel hearing today. They said that he is protective of Hope and when he saw her gesture the tweeting picked up, despite the fact that she did what Bannon did and answered nothing. The anchor cut him off in an attempt to change the subject so I assumed it meant she gave a rude gesture but I googled it and couldn't find any answers in Navy lingo.

SCOTUS won't hear appeal on DACA keeping it in limbo

for a year. The Dreamers won't be forced out now (good) but there can be no new Dreamers registering (bad). NOW WE HAVE TO VOTE!!!!!! Dems must mobilize the vote to get the Dems in the majority and elect strong Dems who are young, women, minorities, etc.
RESIST! REMOVE! Peace.

There also is a Nationwide March called "March For Our Lives" on Sat. March 24th, 2018 that is similar to the Women's March. There will be a large one in Wash DC and hundreds of other cities across the US. We want the GOP /NRA to stop easy access to guns and not arm teachers. Here is the link...

Mr. Mueller, "What about Pence's Russian connections in this investigation?".

Here are a few reminders from DU posts over the past 6 months. He will be part of this investigation and we haven't heard much about his connection except for the fact that Manafort selected him and that he lies about what and when he knew about Flynn. He has bigger problems including his family's ties to Russian finances, etc going back years. Mueller's investigation will go well into 2019 since he is so thorough, especially since there is a money trail here too (they all have ties to Russia or speak Russian) No other administrations have had these issues with their staffs in the past.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
