Intel officials told senators Russia wanted to pin election meddling on Ukraine

Intel officials told senators Russia wanted to pin election meddling on Ukraine
American intelligence officials have told senators and their staff in recent weeks that Russia conducted a years-long effort to point the finger at Ukraine for its own interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

I'm so old I remember when Russia had nuclear missiles, 90 miles from the US coast pointed at us. Everyone knew Russia was the enemy. How low we have sunk with the Russian Republicans.

Putin Brags About New Weapon. Grab the Kids and Run!
Russian President Vladimir Putin has told the families of the scientists who were killed in a nuclear explosion in the country's Arctic north they were testing an "unparalleled" weapon.
There was much speculation about what caused the blast at a test facility in Nyonoksa in the Arkhangelsk region on August 8, which killed at least five people and sparked local fears about increased radiation levels and the secrecy surrounding the incident.
International experts believed the explosion involved the Burevestnik nuclear-powered intercontinental cruise missile, which NATO calls the SSC-X-9 Skyfall.

Attorney General William Barr said he initially had his own suspicions about financier Jeffrey Epstein’s death while behind bars at one of the most secure jails in America but came to conclude that his suicide was the result of “a perfect storm of screw-ups.”

The question is not whether Trump has committed impeachable crimes. He has.

The question is whether Republicans in Congress will affirm that an American president is not above the law. - Hillary Clinton

Tuna Cartel Leads to Bumble Bee Bankruptcy
Tuna maker Bumble Bee Foods said Thursday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with an agreement from Taiwan-based FCF Fishery, its largest creditor, to purchase its assets for roughly $925 million.
The bankruptcy proceedings are meant to reduce Bumble Bee’s debt burden caused by “recent and significant legal challenges” and help facilitate the sale. In 2017, the company pleaded guilty to price fixing and was fined $25 million for forming a cartel with Chicken of the Sea and Starkist. It still owes $17 million to the U.S. Department of Justice, according to its bankruptcy filing.

This might be the Hill the GOP dies on

Fiona Hill says Sondland was sent on "domestic political errand" in Ukraine
The former top Russia adviser in the White House said she came to realize the U.S. Ambassador to the EU was sent on a "domestic political errand" to pressure Ukraine to investigate President Trump's political adversaries.

The sober precision of these people v the giggly, wing-it slovenliness of Sondland is so striking. You can see why Trump bonded with Sondland. - Emily Nussbaum

GOP Female Misogynist
Tensions over a long-stalled Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) reauthorization spilled into public view on the Senate floor on Wednesday.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) tried to get consent to vote on the House-passed VAWA bill by the end of the year, including allowing both sides to offer two amendments...Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who is introducing her own VAWA reauthorization, objected to setting up the vote on the bill, arguing that the House legislation could not pass the GOP-controlled Senate.

Nunes really captures that old movie trope of the guy treating his wife like she's the crazy one when she finds panties in his car and accuses him of having an affair. - Schooley tweet

Trump Says He's an Expert in Watching People Make Phone Calls
In perhaps his most desperate impeachment defense yet, President Donald Trump insisted on Thursday that he is an expert in “watching people make phone calls” but still has never been able to effectively overhear calls not on speakerphone — an apparent push back to a story by David Holmes, the counselor for political affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, who recounted overhearing Trump’s bizarre July 26 phone call with U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

Wallace's flying frog or the Abah River flying frog is a moss frog found at least from the Malay Peninsula into western Indonesia, and is present in Borneo and Sumatra. It is named for the biologist, Alfred R. Wallace, who collected the first specimen to be formally identified. I wonder if the plain old frogs consider him a magical super hero like SpiderFrog.

Peace.
