What a laugh that is.  You couldn't give a flying fuck in getting to the bottom of many of the people's due process violations whose homes were raided by Swat team FBI agents in the middle of the night or early in the morning.

As long as it doesn't come to your door, then to Hell with the Bill of Rights.

And as to your laughable statement there, I'll just point out this.  Tucker Carlson put forth video provided to him by the gov't and then he showed it to the country and the world and the first thing Your buddies here and You do is smear Fox News and Carlson himself.

Yeah,that's some really grand interest you have there in going through INTENSE SCRUTINY to get to the bottom of the events of Jan 6th.  LOL

Don't make us all laugh.

"Former President Donald Trump said he expects to be arrested Tuesday in connection with an investigation conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney's office and is calling for protests ahead of his possible indictment.

"THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!" he wrote on Truth Social Saturday morning." 


BTW- I didn't use the all caps, Trump used them in his entire Truth Social rant. 

So, is NYC going to be wild on Tuesday?

Thanks Jim.  Sadly, we Boiler fans are used to it.  Losses to a 13, 15 and now 16 seed in the last 3 years.  I am afraid our coach is too slavishly tied to his system to beat anyone but the big ten regulars...  These lower seeded teams that beat us are all the same.  Small, motivated, scrappy, and fast.  If Painter had just let our athletes play at a faster pace with some drives on the lane when the threes weren't falling... Oh, what might have been.  

Anyway, I'm over it.  Cheering for Princeton and Penn State now.   Also, we had a spectacular day today, so I got out my solar Ha kit.  The filter had been in the shop for over a year getting new blockers installed.  That stunk, but it really is performing nicely now.  I did mostly visual, but I captured the following with my planetary cam.   Very nice relaxing day.

I've owned it for over a decade, maybe 15 years.  When I bought it the blocker and trim filters in front of the etalon were implemented with "soft coated" filter elements.  That was all they had.  Lifespan of about 10 years.   Now there are hard coated blocker and trim filters made by semiconductor thin film deposition techniques, should last forever.   The owner of Solar Spectrum, Mark Wagner, is a great guy, but it did take a year for the replacement trim and blocker filters.   Jim

Yeah, but you MAGA guys probably dig it.

The second group that supports him mightily is the left wing press of course.  CNN, the Hill, the NYT and the like.  Trump is a life-blood infusion to these outlets and frankly to their readers and viewers.  They are Jonesing for Trump to get the nomination and will do anything to see it happen.  Don't you think it is a little unhealthy, Rod and Jim M., that you guys are so fixated on Trump?  (I know that your interest in Trump news pales in comparison to Richard's absolute and total fixation on Hunter and Joe Biden, but is that a comparison you want to make?)  Like Rod's source noted above with respect to Hunter - it's been years of investigations now.  Indict Trump or quit the wall-to-wall coverage!

Anyway, I worry that the press/Trump affair will strengthen him.  It certainly did when he was elected.
