The power just returned

Ay yi yi yi.

The only thing worse than being without Internet is being without power. I will post a new edition tomorrow barring any more power problems.

Trump Inspires West Point Cadets


Sexual assault reports nearly double at West Point
The number of sexual assaults reported at the West Point military academy almost doubled during the 2016-2017 school year, according to the Pentagon's annual report on sexual assaults at the three military service academies. Fifty sexual assaults were reported this past year at West Point, compared to ...

Tillerson: Trump is an idiot. Putin: Don't I know?
So Tillerson Thinks No Matter What US Cybersecurity Does, The Russians Are Going To Win.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Tuesday that Russia is already trying to influence the U.S. midterm election, warning that it will be difficult for the United States to "pre-empt" it..."I don't know that I would say we are better prepared, because the Russians will adapt, as well. The point is, if it's their intention to interfere, they are going to find ways to do that. We can take steps, but this is something that, once they decide they are going to do it, it's very difficult to pre-empt it."



The gif of the wind exposing Trump’s baldness reveals 2 things: 1. The intricate engineering feat of POTUS’ coif 2. The metaphor of Trump as the epitome of fraud. Feels like the expression “A fish stinks from the head” was coined specifically for him. - Rob Reiner







I'm So Old I Remember When A President Ignored His Daily Briefing About Planes Flying Into Skyscrapers
For much of the past year, President Trump has declined to participate in a practice followed by the past seven of his predecessors: He rarely if ever reads the President’s Daily Brief, a document that lays out the most pressing information collected by U.S. intelligence agencies from hot spots around the world.
Trump has opted to rely on an oral briefing of select intelligence issues in the Oval Office rather than getting the full written document delivered to review separately each day, according to three people familiar with his briefings.

Is Hope Hicks next on the chopping block?
As one of President Donald Trump’s closest aides, Hicks has had one of the longest tenures in the Trump White House. But the President has reportedly become increasingly exasperated with his communications director in recent days for her handling of the White House’s response to allegations of domestic abuse against former aide Rob Porter






If Trump didn't know Porter didn't have clearance, that means someone gave Porter classified material without him being cleared to see it and without Trump waiving that clearance. Isn't that illegal? - Rachel Maddow

The White House Soap Opera Continues

Hope Hicks, elusive Trump aide, in the spotlight amid Rob Porter scandal
Hope Hicks is the enigma of the Trump administration.
Hicks is the White House communications director and one of President Trump's closest aides. Yet she has never given a TV interview. She is rarely quoted at all. She is the yin to Trump's attention-grabbing yang.
And right now she's in a terrible place for a press-shy person to be: In the middle of not one but two White House scandals.


At this point, I think we can safely conclude that Hope Hicks has absolutely terrible taste in men.


Trump fired Cory Lewandowski and Rob Porter, both Hope Hick's boyfriends, Does he want Hope for himself? - Eric Elder

George W. Bush longs for the time when meddling in elections was done in-house, by Americans, purging the Democratic voter rolls. - Erik Bransteen





Another Trumped Up Nothingburger
FBI officials said the investigation into the November death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent has yielded no evidence that there was a "scuffle, altercation or attack" more than two months after President Donald Trump and others used the suggestion of an attack to promote the building of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border...Investigators have conducted more than 650 interviews and involved 37 field offices in their probe, but have not found definitive evidence of an attack..The FBI release noted that a dispatcher, who was among the people interviewed by investigators, took the call from the surviving agent. According to the release, the dispatcher wrote in his log that, "(He) thinks they (both agents) ran into a culvert."

Women Are Going To Save This Country Because They Can Deliver An 8 Hour Speech In High Heels Without Flinching
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made history on Wednesday by delivering an eight-hour speech in protest of Speaker Paul Ryan’s unwillingness to commit to legislation that would protect "Dreamers."
And Pelosi, 77, a California Democrat, did it all while standing in four-inch heels, to the amazement of admirers on Twitter, and without taking a bathroom break. She broke a 109-year-old House record for longest speech from the floor by nearly three hours.






Nancy Pelosi spoke for 8 hours, Trump couldn’t read a 10 page memo? - Schooley tweet
