Why this is like Watergate ..

In Watergate I the news on illegal activities came out about lots of things.
..............not just the break in.
..............It was the "cover up"
..............It was the hearings..
..............It was the media digging up stuff.
..............It was the lies and arguments....back and forth..over and over..
..............It extensive nature and involvement of so many people..
..............It was amazing to watch and experience.
..............It was new crap coming out all the time on different subjects but related......................
...............to"the lying evil crooks.


In Watergate II..the news is on illegal activities about lots of different things.
..............It was not just Russian Collusion.
..............It was the "cover up"
..............There are hearings going on today..( live hearings where one can follow)
..............Media is still digging up stuff.
..............Lies and arguments back and forth...over and over..
..............Extensive nature and involvement of so many people ...(are more coming?)
..............Amazing to watch and experience.....like an never ending battle for "truth and justice"
..............It feels like new crap is coming out all of the time....HUGE DOCUMENT DROP at last minute???
..............different subjects, but related to....... "the lying evil crooks"


Is the show similar to Watergate I ..As someone who experienced Watergate I..and followed it extensively, Yes, it is like Watergate I.........therefore Watergate I and Watergate II are so similar and yet so different but the bottom line is..................."lying evil crooks" ............................
They are everywhere, but it is a new episode ...Same time, same station, so please tuned in tomorrow
in the never-ending story of Watergate II..Or "As Trump and the Crooks Turn and Turn"

About that document dump..84 reams of paper...and today is Thursday..

Dump was Monday evening...?? This is a hunch...no accurate info, none,

After the dump/drop...Monday............
..every available clerk or assistant of every Democrat in Congress was called in..to read that sh*t. If , just if...84 people were called in, and all night they read, (let's say they got more than 84 loyal Dems working in the offices) ...then some of it could have been read.. Not all, but some.. but lets say they got 184 Dems to read that crap....more could have been read...

Some of the material is being referenced today, Thursday.. How could that happen??..Not only clerks, but secretaries, and the freed up senators themselves read that) . If you got 184 readers..then maybe, most of it could have been read..think about that..

additional notes Senator Hirono has referenced this stuff this morning.
...................... Senator Patrick Leahy also has referenced this

Unusual but happy experience that happened yesterday..to me...

...Short story. yes this really happened to me. Yesterday I went to a local hardware store to get some work done. It was an electronic key thing that opens my car door. A light was flashing that said I needed to change the battery in the key thing. I tried to open up the key thing, but couldn't, so off to the local hardware. Not a big box store with huge parking lot, and a hundred employees, but a local store the kind that is disappearing. You remember, smelly, compact, with so much stuff and more stuff for sale --over hear and over there hanging from the walls etc..
...So, I find a fellow behind a counter, not the check out counter, just a counter, and explain the situation to him. He easily opens the thing, and takes a look at the battery. We go over to some shelves with lots of batteries, he picks out the correct one (actually 2 in a package) and says, "After you pay for it, I will install the battery. The package of 2 cost $8.50. (too high in my opinion) but that is OK,because this fellow is going to fix it now so I don't get locked out. (saves a trip to the dealer who would overcharge me)
...I watch him, it takes about 5 minutes, and then he explains to me how to do it so I can do it myself next time.
And then it happened.....This strange but happy event......
....When he was done installing the battery in the thing, and explaining how I could do it myself, there was a moment, and I had prepared for it. When I was paying for the batteries, I took out from the change, a ten dollar bill, and decided to offer it to the battery replacement expert..So, I offered the battery replacement guy the ten dollar bill as a gift for getting the key thing battery replaced. Something extra, because he brightened my day by saving me a trip to the dealer. A job well done at the local hardware store...............................
.......................................................................................................................................................

...He said, "I can't take that." I offered it again. And again he said, "I can't take that, I don't take those, we don't do that here."...I said, "Thank You for your service, I really appreciate what you did. He said, "You know this is not my first rodeo"..We laughed for a moment and I left..
.
.I left, totally flabergasted..And for a moment, I smiled and thought about it..I was happy about going to the local hardware store to get the battery replaced.. Happy for a reason I never expected.. And thankful for the experience. And on the way home, I decided to share that experience here..at Democratic Underground in the Lounge....NO, I didn't make this up..it happened yesterday............

Strong Earthquake Buries Homes in Hokkaido Japan

Tokyo (CNN) — Landslides resulting from a preliminary magnitude 6.7 earthquake early Thursday on Japan's Hokkaido island buried a "large" number of homes at the foot of a ridge, public broadcaster NHK reported.

At least three people were injured, officials said. Rescue teams were mobilized.

The earthquake was followed by a 5.4 aftershock, NHK said, citing the Japan Meteorological Agency. The US Geological Survey said the earthquake registered at 6.6.

Are there 2 Republican senators willing to stand up on this nomination & say NO

Two that are willing to admit the truth about Kavanaugh?
Two that are willing to risk their careers to save woman's rights to control their bodies?
Two that are willing to show that they care about a man whose child was killed by a gun?
Two that are willing to prevent Kavanaugh the liar from becoming a Justice on the Supreme Court
Two that are willing to stand up to McConnell?
Two that are willing to stand and protect the U.S.A instead of their party and Trump?
Two that are willing to care about the future of the U.S.A, ?

We will soon see if there are just 2 honest Republicans in the Senate.. Just 2?
Who are they?...or are there none?

9 Words. ."I think it's embarrassing that the country allows protestors." Is this the end?

Is this "The smoking gun".?? Yes, he will try to correct this, but he said it. He is done, or is he?

Background of statement........................................................................................................................
Trump made the remarks in an Oval Office interview with the Daily Caller hours after his Supreme Court nominee, Brett M. Kavanaugh, was greeted by protests on the first day of his confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill.

“I don’t know why they don’t take care of a situation like that,” Trump said. “I think it’s embarrassing for the country to allow protesters. You don’t even know what side the protesters are on.”

How does Trump correct those words? Simple, clear, dumb, insensitive, and "anti-constitution." Not just against the "Constitution of the United States of America" but clearly against one of the most important aspects of a free society. I think he just gave the country proof he does not belong in his present job. A public statement of his sickness and lack of understanding of the U.S.A. For all to see and discuss. He just convicted himself.. Or did he?..........original source is from the Washington Post. Here is that link:

Another important accomplishment, Peace between Israel and Egypt..Yes, it hasn't been perfect..

Many awful incidents, too many to mention..but, very important but,...NO MAJOR WAR BETWEEN THEM

yes, lots of minor crap, killings, ambushes..etc....but NO MAJOR WAR BETWEEN THEM

Carter was there to work out a deal. Egypt, Palestine, Israel. brokered by Carter....and guess what?

Like the seat belt thing, this has saved lives.. Major war between the 3 of them hundreds of lives..no war...lives saved. Very Important..!!!

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
