    :beer: Well put. 

     

    They had every GOP campaign under surveillance -- Rubio, Cruz for sure -- as well as Bernie's.  If you haven't read this yet, I highly recommend it. 

    https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf

     

    Especially pages 82-84 (give or take). This shows that it was indeed systemic and extended well beyond just Trump or the 2016 election. It shows how the FBI and DOJ were allowing unsupervised outside contractors (think Halper, think CrowdStrike) to search the NSA's 702 database (which contains all collected SIGINT and ELINT of American citizens) without a warrant. They were doing this so often that the FISC estimated 85% of all the DOJ/FBI searches run on the 702 data base since 2012 were deemed illegal

     

    This is the document no one in the MSM wants to talk about. It's the document that started the whole saga.

     

     

    P.83  "the FBI had disclosed raw FISA information"

    P.84  "the ____ contractors had access to raw FISA information that went well beyond what was necessary to respond to the FBI's requests"

    P. 84  "The FBI must retain all FISA-acquired information under appropriately secure conditions that limit access to such information only to authorized users in accordance with these and other FBI procedures. These retention procedures apply to FISA-acquired information retained in any form."

    I picked up this 15 pound brisket at Sam's for 3.98$ a pound.  It's in the fridge now getting a cold brine till tonight.  it's gonna go on the pellet grill (competition blend) till an internal temp of 170 or so.  Then its gonna get wrapped in peach paper with a splash of bourbon till an internal of 195.  Gonna finish it by  wrapping in a towel and putting in a cooler for an hour. 

     

    After all that, gonna deliver a hot plate of brisket, beans, greens, and Mac and cheese to mom for a mother's day dinner.  

    Tell me more about this peach paper??? I'm unfamiliar.

    I’m an architect. In my business we’re always wondering why we’re being asked to lower all of the countertops as opposed to simply raising the wheelchairs. 

    The height of the wheelchair depends on the height of the person using it. They have to be able to safely get in and out of it, also there are some that use their feet to help propel and maneuver it so they have to be able to contact the ground. There are some power chairs that vertically lift the seat, but it is a very expensive option and the chair is not mobile in that state because the center of gravity is raised and it's unsafe to move around like that.

    Sometimes, I think Joe just cannot help himself. He's a touchy-feely guy, and considering his position in power the last 40 years, few will tell him to knock it off.  A lot of what he has done is inappropriate, and was 10, 20, 30 years ago. The Tara Reade accusations get people wondering if it stopped with hair sniffing and unwanted touching. Was it more than making people uncomfortable? Most women, most people, are unwilling to tell a sitting Senator, or worse, the Vice-President of the United States to back off.

    The other reason to wonder about Tara Reade... the "msm" have ignored the accusations, but not tried to destroy her (yet).  Why is that? Will that NYT FIOA of the Senate complaint be provided before the election? Will the NYT release what it says? Lots of people digging right now, on both sides.

    And for a reminder, the classic Joey-B touching from 2010. (New Castle Police Chief Kevin McDerby, at the Delaware Law Enforcement Memorial ceremony in Dover, the photo was taken taken on May 3, 2010.)

    Oh leave him alone, his just checking to see if the sheriff's leg hairs are standing up like his are.

    Yeah one has to wonder if there is an implicit, or maybe explicit, bias from someone in New York on grading the Bills.

    Well as someone living in the NYC area I can tell you that the press here reflexively disrespects the Bills, regards them as a perpetual joke, and thinks they should be 2-14 every year. 

    And that goes double for the Jets fans I have to deal with.

    Nancy Pelosi’s already been inducted into the Projection & Hypocrisy Hall of Fame,

     

    but now she’s working on having the entire building named after her:

     

     

    That’s pretty shameless, even for Pelosi!

    I've known many people who are in their 80's and 90's, and the vast majority are the nicest, kindest, most down to earth people. Through conversations with then I've come to realize that most of them are that way because by that age you really know what's important in life and you cut all the pettiness and bull crap out of it. It seem with Ms. Pelosi the pettiness and bull crap have only intensified.

    Can't even put any blame on hospitals for wanting the higher reimbursement rates.  But if we're getting faulty data because of that, then we won't come out of this crisis as smoothly as we could with good data.

     

    BUT, IF patients that don't need to be going on ventilators are going on them, then somebody needs to go to jail for blatant malpractice.  They cause issues of their own for patients, but if you need to be on 1, the issue they solve is more acutely deadly than the issues they cause; so they are beneficial for some.

    Let's just say that anyone that comes into the ER showing any sign of needing a ventilator is intubated because it's easier to to it then as opposed to when the patient is in full respiratory distress.....and there is less chance of transmission of the disease too.  ?

    Do you have any evidence to back that up, other than the fact I don't blindly agree with everything Fox news says, and am therefore a traitor?  Pretty sure all the patients who have graciously thanked me didn't think I was vile.  

    OK, but you blindly disagree with everything Fox news says and therefor you are short-sighted. Opposite side of the same coin, so you're in good company.
