Latest from Trump twitter, another very satisfying video — the press, including Joe Scarborough, admitting No Collusion. . .

Rosenstein and the Beard have to stand there stone faced while Barr reads his entire speech. That must be really uncomfortable. Beard is fidgety. Rosie is a rock.
Yes, in retrospect I only saw RR looking so grim and rigid but there were other images of him smiling. Youtube went down for me and I missed the first few minutes and several minutes minutes later.
Will Nadler call Schiff to the committee to testify on the “evidence” Schiff’s been hoarding for the last 2 1/2/ years? Where’s the Kompromat, Comrade?
Thanks for all pings.
I may not post much today as busy and got sick again, or it just decided to rebound. So mostly reading....
That said, this is interesting, main point being the date:
T’was the 18th of April in 75: The midnight ride of William Dawes, Samuel Prescott and Paul Revere
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3742889/posts?page=16#1
Paul Revere gets all of the credit, but he never actually finished that famous ride, and in fact warned the British that the Americans were coming. William Dawes and Samuel Prescott were left out of the poem and subsequently most elementary history books: it was actually Samuel Prescott who completed the midnight ride.
In addition to Dawes and Prescott, dozens of other men helped spread the word that night. Revere started other express riders on their way before leaving Boston, and he also alerted others along his journey. They too began riding, or shot guns and rang church bells to alert the community. British patrols were posted along the roads, which is why more than one messenger was used for the mission.

Great acting!
Thanks as always, Steven W.
What is that?
As a running back, I understand the importance of a good pulling guard.
Fight on!

FIRST: I was not upset that a post was directed at my post for a comment I didn't make. If you read my post 743 I simply asked if the person was responding to me: "Huh? I don’t know who you are replying to but I have said nothing about Sessions."
I was just curious as the spat seems to be based on a usage mis-understanding. I was pretty sure about the usage but I had to be sure. A reply is to a post #. Whoever is in the to: gets pinged.
SECOND: I rarely check Pings and it looked like the response was to me. Thus my question (see above). Instead of getting a "no" or an explanation I got a snark. So yes, I snarked back.
I generally use a blank to: to reply to a troll’s post(I know, I know, I shouldn’t feed the trolls) without them getting pinged.
We’ve come a long way and have done too much good in these “Q” threads.
Somebody take the first step and apologize, then you two kiss and make up...no tongues.
THIRD: I apologize for being snarky back. I do not apologize for asking for clarification. I WILL NOT kiss another woman because I am not a lesbo. I consider issue closed now.
ah...sorry for being a buttinsky.
If reparations are voted in, at least white people will get their share, right? Or only Irish people?
Your “part”, on the snarly subject and from start to finish, has been a class act. Period.
Posters are responsible for who the heck is in the “TO” line, not the receiver. Goose chasing for a comment # are hardly a requirement.
Similar to the over use of so many acronyms causing deciphering exchanges that take up more time and space than just spelling things out.
Just read the twitter link by 40 Head. I am more confused than before. My current policy is “shut up, and wait and see!”
Here’s a good one:
And in a fit of raging dumbassery, Marlborough, MA tore down Dawes’ house and put an AT&T building there.

Worse than dumbassery. Not only an extremely old house from the Revolutionary period, but historic.
I grew up for several years in a pre-Revolutionary house in New England. It was the best house I ever lived in.
Here’s a good one:
That is a good one!
