And It Gets Even Uglier

From Palmer Report:

When Bill Barr lied about the contents of the Mueller Report and then buried it, the mainstream media initially went along with Bill Barr's lies instead of challenging him on it. Ever since then, it's been difficult to even so much as bring up the Trump-Russia scandal without people yelling "hoax" in response. But Trump-Russia is one of the ugliest and most dangerous scandals in American history – and it just got even uglier.

Just before Donald Trump left office, he obtained a binder of classified intel about Russia, claiming that he was looking to see what he could declassify. That alone was suspiciously on the nose. But now CNN is reporting that the binder was last seen with Mark Meadows and has since disappeared, even as the U.S. intel community has spent the past two-plus years trying to track it down.

So let's see here. After Trump lost and knew he was going to have to leave office, he used a flimsy excuse to get his hands on classified intel about Russia, and then it conveniently "disappeared" while he was leaving office. This fits with everything else we've seen over the years about Trump and Russia.

The whole thing gets even uglier when you look at it within the context of Trump stealing hundreds of other classified documents on his way out of office and lying about having stashed them in his home. It's not like Trump has a history of misplacing classified documents. He has a history of stealingthem.

We'll see where this goes. There's no reporting yet on whether this "missing" binder of classified intel about Russia is part of Jack Smith's criminal probe. It's worth keeping in mind that Mark Meadows – who was supposedly the last person seen with this binder – has already testified to Jack Smith's grand jury under oath in exchange for immunity. Smith can easily put Meadows back on the stand and force him to answer questions about what Trump did with this binder as well. In any case, the Trump-Russia scandal is alive and well.

LOCK THAT MOTHERUCKER UP!

I want him gone. I want him locked up in miserable conditions for the rest of his pathetic life. I want his social media network taken down and I want each and everyone of his supporters to wake up and see how they've been swindled. I want to wake up one days and see the headline, "Trump Dies In Prison."

If that makes me a horrible person, so be it.

Preach, Sister!

From the fabulous Margaret and Helen:

Margaret, I'm mad as hell and I have a few things I need to get off my chest. First, and most important, how the hell do Russians dope in Curling? Do you down a fistful of Xanax before you gently push the stone across the ice?

And speaking of Russians, there is something called a Russian Bot messing with our elections. One of them goes by the name @RealDonaldTrump. Now I don't know what a bot is, but I assume it looks like an asshole with a bad comb over.

For the love of man, do Trump's Twitter followers have any decency? These kids are not actors. They are re-acting to watching their friends get murdered by an 18 year old maniac with an assault rifle. I hope that is something these so called Patriots never have to experience.

The GOP's hypocrisy has no bounds. They can limit and restrict my right to an abortion or my grandson's right to get married, but the right to own a gun is a sacred gift from God. Because we all know that if the disciples had AR-15's, Jesus would have said, "Let's blow the shit out of those damn Romans. Make Nazareth Great Again."

And we know these NRA bought and paid for politicians aren't going to do a damn thing. If slaughtering elementary school kids didn't create new laws, this won't even phase them. And give me a break. Trump is all talk. No limits. No regulations. Bigger bullets. Longer barrels. Anything to make up for that tiny, orange carrot hanging between his legs.

We're talking about arming teachers instead of un-arming children. We're making plans to turn our schools into prisons rather than banning assault rifles from an unregulated, redneck militia. Somehow the solution to gun violence is more guns. Now that is some serious bullshit.

And when they are not attacking kids, these "Christians" are worshipping a golden calf. Actually it's more orange than gold. And more fool's gold than real gold. A foolish orange cow with a bad comb over.

Well, just like that precious Emma Gonzales, I call bullshit. The solution to gun violence is not more guns. And the NRA is not a membership organization for gun owners. It is a domestic terrorist organization for gun manufacturers. It buys politicians and then forever holds them hostage.

Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Never again indeed. If my daughter will take me, I'm going to that march in DC. And if I get anywhere near that golden cow, I'm going to slap that comb over right off its orange head.

Bullshit. The whole Trump presidency is bullshit. I mean it. Really.

Here We Go Again


It's official. Apple has become Microsoft.

One of the things I really appreciated about Apple's OS is that you didn't have to reinstall it multiple times a year because something got screwed up. Apparently with their new all-encompassing focus on iDevices, no one in Cupertino really gives a rat's ass about OS X any more—beyond giving it a shiny new coat of paint once a year so Tim Cook & Company can waltz out on stage and tell the faithful how magical it's become.

Since upgrading to El Capitan some time ago, I've been having nothing but trouble with Apple Mail—to the point where I got Apple itself involved trying to troubleshoot why syncing wasn't working with any regularity between the cloud and my Mac.

As mysteriously as the problem started, after several weeks it just disappeared, only to be replaced with Apple Mail using ridiculous amounts of CPU cycles and sending the laptop's fans into overdrive while sitting idle. Fed up with these ongoing issues (and in no hurry to give up my iCloud email address because my life is tied to it),  I opted back into Apple's public beta program, hoping against all odds that maybe this issue had been addressed and corrected in the latest beta since apparently I wasn't the only one experiencing it.

Thankfully, after updating to OS X beta 10.11.3, Mail's CPU gorging disappeared. I was a happy camper.

Then, about a week or so ago, I woke one morning to discover that an OS update had automatically downloaded, installed, and was prompting me to restart the computer. WTF?

Somehow, the developer (not the public beta, which to my knowledge still isn't out) version of 10.11.4 had decided it was going to install itself on my Mac. I am not in the developer program, and after installation there was no record of it installing, other than the version number changed in "About This Mac." AND NO WAY TO UNINSTALL IT.

It didn't seem to break anything, so I just accepted this and resolved to live with it until 10.11.4 was officially released.

Well, lately my Mac has been randomly locking up—to the point where it requires a hard power cycle. I realize that using beta software comes with risks like this, but this particular beta I never signed up for.

When 10.11.3 was officially released last week, I attempted to install it over this bastard 10.11.4. Apple was having none of that. Apparently you can't go backward unless you wipe everything and reinstall from scratch—which is exactly what I find myself doing this morning.

Thanks, Microsoft Apple.

Service Providers

Comcast, Century Link, DirecTV…it doesn't matter. ALL their customer service SUCKS and THEY DON'T CARE. They have you by the balls and they know it.
