So…The House (un)Intelligence Committee had it’s big party today. What a day! Director Comey refutes claims that Obama surveilled Trump. Also admits that Russia / White House investigation has been underway since August. One interesting question was why did this not come out until now when the investigation into Clinton came out in October. Comey actually had a good answer. The Clinton investigation was over, this one isn’t.

Director Comey said that he has no information that would lend any credibility to the Obama surveilled me tweets by Trump. Director Rogers agreed with a questioner that it was “ridiculous” to think that British Intelligence would obtain information on Trump for Obama.

This interrogation went on for about 5 hours and was mostly a way for the Republicans to dismiss any evidence that may be out there and for the Democrats to obsess over the same evidence. What a way to run a country. Committees like this should not be partisan. As Joe Friday always said “Just the facts ma’am”. But if you put a bunch of politicians in a room for 5 hours what can you expect. The bluster and hubris in that room was out of this world. One committee member even went as far to say that he told people during the campaigns that Russia would be interfering in the election. But that no one paid attention until the Democrats lost. Of course he is a republican.

Then there is Representative Gowdy, He who thinks reporters should be prosecuted for reporting leaks. While at the same time accusing Obama team of being the leakers. Of course he offered no proof. Try as he might he could not get Comey or Rogers to admit that anyone in particular was under investigation in the Russia scandal.

Our beloved (Un)President says that the FBI and NSA told Congress that they had no evidence that Russia influenced the election. Close but not quite right. Comey admitted that while no evidence showed any influence in the election the investigation is not over and not everything has been released yet.

Meanwhile down in Louisville Trump wasd holding a (2020 campaign) rally. Once again diverting attention from the real dealings in Washington.

 

Turns out it much too difficult to keep up with two different Facebook pages. So I have gone back to my original site. Any of you who follow my site, which would be anyone reading this on my Facebook Timeline will just have to put up with personal stuff and my ranting and raving!

I will probably do most of the rants and raves from this blog (thewordbynamdoogkirblog.wordpress.com). Feel free to follow me here too. You’ll be able to share directly from the blog.

Thanks for putting up with me and my many changes.

President Good For A Laugh was holding one of his rallies today. You know, the ones he holds when things aren’t going quite his way. He has to get out and get in front of his supporters , er…blind followers. The people there are hootin’ and hollerin’, paying no attention to what he is really saying and just soaking up the rhetoric. This makes him feel good. So maybe there is 5 or 10 thousand people there (didn’t look that up), that is a small percentage of the population. And I have to believe, or I’ll go crazy, that more and more of the people have to be seeing through all this. But that’s not where I was going with this.

One of his last statements that I heard during his speech in Nashville today was that we are all made from the same God.

Does he understand that different religions actually worship different gods? How about atheists? They don’t have any gods. How does he feel about Darwinism? This is the type of statement that divides a population not one that unites.

He has supporters like Rep. Steve King that think America should be homogeneous so that we all look a lot alike.

The president continues to say he is least racist, least bigoted person yet continues to preach racist and bigoted ideals. His followers suck this up like Kool-Aid.

A call to arms, not firearms, should be in the making. We have to bring this president to his knees and remove him from office. Let him go back to making money and filing bankruptcy and screwing the little guy. Just let’s get him out of office.

We can bring in a real leader. If we can find one who’ll take the job.
