      While you have one side trying to play by the rules, the other side ignores the rules when it’s inconvenient to their agenda and make up rules as they go along to accommodate same agenda.

    TWITTER ALERT: Many Twitter users (myself included) have been locked out of our accounts and required to reset our passwords. I had to reset my password early this morning, and I saw some other users saying the same. Apparently thousands of accounts have been thought to be compromised through attempted hacking and Twitter is trying to remedy by having said accounts reset their password.

        Same thing here. I was on an Android tablet when I got the message while strolling, but nothing on my phone. Changed the password via my computer, then restarted it. Logged in with new password via Google chrome, but did not have to log on again on the other devices. I think this is so because the phone and the tablet are connected to the Google account. I am new at all of this as well, but I think everything is secure. In any event, from Facebook, to Twitter to Instagram, I only follow a very limited and specific group and don’t post personal photos, information.

    Oh Fer Phuck’s Sake!!!

    From The Hill

    A former Soviet counter-intelligence officer was reportedly in the meeting with Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer in June 2016, in which Trump Jr. was promised damaging information on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

    NBC News reported Friday that some U.S. officials suspect the former intelligence officer of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence.

    The former Soviet official, whom the news network is not naming, denies any current ties to the Kremlin.

    A former Soviet counter-intelligence officer?

    DOES.NOT.EXIST.

    So, the lawyer that IS working for The Kremlin
    Would allow someone in that ISN’T working for the Kremlin?
    Does that make ANY kind of sense?

    Do we understand NOW why the CIA went into a panic mode with the election?

          Browder added that Akhmetshin’s presence was highly significant:
          “In the world of Russian intelligence, there is no such thing as a ‘former intelligence officer. So in my opinion you had a member
          of Putin’s secret police directly meeting with the son of the future next president of the United States asking to change US sanctions

      I will never forget the AARP magazine I got over ten years ago I am sure. It was a story about a young 17yr old immigrant whose family came to the USA to pick fruits and vegetables in California and all along the west coast. He was very good in math and learned English very fast. He hated the back breaking labor work so he got a GED, went to community college and did very well. He went on to college and decided to major in medicine. He became a renowned neurosurgeon. These are the types of people who MAKE AMERICA GREAT!

    Prescient PBO tried to warn us: “Let me tell you something about this office that I’ve been in for 8 years. Who you are, what you are does not change after you occupy the Oval Office. All it does is magnify who you are. All it does is shine a spotlight on who you are. If you disrespected women before you were in office, you will disprespect women as President. If you accept the support of clan sympathizers before you are president, you will accept their support after you a president. If you disrespect the Constitution before you are president and threaten to shut down the press when it says something you don’t like, or threaten to throw your opponent in jail in a live presidential debate without any regard for due process…. If you discriminate against people of different faiths before you are president, then that is what you will do in office. Except you will have more power to carry out the twisted notions that you had before you were in office. So you can’t make excuses for this stuff. This isn’t a Joke! This isn’t “Survivor”. This isn’t the “Bachelorette”. This counts! This has to do with what’s going to happen in your family, in your community, the soldiers and veterans, the safety of our kids.” (Miami Florida International University Nov 2016.)

    Russia’s Ideology. There Is No Truth:
    “IMAGINE if you grew up lying. Not a little bit, for convenience, but during every public moment of your life: at school, at work, at social events. You had to lie to survive, because the punishment for telling the truth was the loss of your academic or professional career, or even prison. For Russians who came of age before 1991, this is the only way they know….When members of this generation came to power they created a society that was a feast of simulations, with fake elections, a fake free press, a fake free market and fake justice.”

And then I had to call the computer guy to log me into the system so I can sign my evaluation.
