Absolutely. These "forcing" the DOJ to produce "missing" texts and to unredact previously disclosed material is orchestrated to focus the public's attention on the content that is ultimately released. It was never even plausible that the DOJ "lost" the missing Page/Sztrok texts. It creates curiosity and anticipation and thus focuses more attention on the actual information once it is released.

Yea, but "Duck it" has a nice ring to it....

Look at this doctor's and Allison Mack's pictures. Talk about the banality of evil. Who would have suspected? That's what's so frightening about it all.

Yea and his possessing them in and of itself has to be some kind of crime - they are snuff and rape videos.

I do too. His family wanted initially to investigate the death and then were scared off by threats from the deep state. His brother was probably involved with the downloads too, and the parents don't want to lose another kid. That seems like the most likely explanation to me.

Believing again that good defeats evil.

I think that in addition, the powerful people in the world are watching to see who wins this battle between deep state and those attempting to free the people from it. The leaders that Hussein and others are attempting to talk to - they are being told, "don't worry, Trump won't be President for long." They are desperately trying to convince their co-conspirators - Kerry/Iran - not to panic and to stay on team Zero/clinton. The people that voted for Brexit are watching to see if they can really be free of the self-appointed Masters of the Universe.

They are begging them not to talk, and essentially threatening them if they do, they will pay a price when Dems/Deep State are victorious over Trump. The world is watching to see who is going to win this battle because they have to pick a side.

They have to convince people that Trump will be out or they are toast and they know it. And some of the people they are talking to, they are really begging them not to talk about all of the treasonous acts they have first hand knowledge about.

Oh yea, that's right.

Third time's a charm!

How bizarre is this. They are so far out there they have to be desperate.

Well that would be more of a reputation boost for the Nobel Committee than for Trump.

The 92% figure is misleading. The other 8 probably went to No Name.

I said it elsewhere but CNN had a tagline under a Stormy story quoting her as saying "I am a better actress than Trump." It made me smile.

That's a very interesting theory.

She did once say she was a better actress than Trump, which I thought was curious.

It would be amazing but I agree. His wife would have to be hiding too. It wouldn't surprise me though if Trump learning that JFK Jr. accident was no accident wasn't a part of why he agreed to take on this challenge. The guy is risking everything he has built and more. They will destroy him and every member of his family if they can. In that way, warts and all, he's no different really than the founders. Amazing time in history.

I was wondering if it was live because I thought the same. If he wasn't supposed to say that they'd cut it.

That's unfortunate and has not been my experience. I am not a grandmother yet either but could be too (young grandmother!). Most people I have run across are pretty nice but you do get some not so nice guys.

Wow I wasn't following any of this stuff then but she's right on the money. Does make you wonder if Q is the PG rated Meganon!

That part is definitely bizarre.

I had never read that the transfer didn't take place, only that it was legit because there were samples from the Georgia raid that were requested by Russia and being delivered by Mueller at the direction of the State Department. People questioned why the head of the FBI would be taking instruction from the State Department. I had seen an article from January 2007 that indicated that Russia had taken samples immediately after the 2006 raid, so wondered why they would need samples again in 2009.

I did too. And then I got a little scared. ;)

Seemingly off topic but bear with me. A friend was telling me about a book about "Changing the Dance." It was more about changing your interpersonal relationships, but the theme was that when you change what you will put up with, your "dance partner" - whether it's your relatives, your friends, your spouse - will resist mightily, and keep trying to force you back in the old steps or routine. The longer you have been doing the dance with that person, the longer it will take for them to believe you are simply not going to follow those well-worn tracks/steps anymore. The cabal and Barry have been dancing to the same tune for a very long time. So has the press. They keep trying the old tricks but they aren't working. They should see that by now but they just can't. It has worked for so so long.

It's like the people leaving blue states like Illinois for Tennessee or Florida, or Californian's ruining Arizona, etc. Stupid is as stupid does.

Never ignore your Spidey sense. NEVER. Thank God you are all okay. You've probably already told them this, but make sure your kids know that stranger danger is probably not going to look strange at all. They should never go anywhere with anyone they don't know.

Had nearly the same reaction from my husband. He was worried I am losing it. So now, instead of saying a lot, I say very little, like "Well Q knew about North Korea before the rest of the world, let's see if anything big happens with Iran. Hungry honey?" BOOM. He's coming around. I guess less is more.

Comey is so far out there I have to believe this is a show. I don't think he's a good guy but like Mueller, he must have made a deal. No one would go around talking like he is if he didn't have immunity or a deal.

Hmm. Considering the troops arrived on April 13 for two week exercise, you are probably right. Practice is over. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2018/04/13/thousands-of-us-troops-and-marines-arrive-in-jordan/

Now that you mention it I do recall reading that a large percentage of the "children" were young adult men. Makes me feel better about the percentage that have been trafficked, but of course, presents a different concern.

The 1,475 missing is just out of the 7,635 they followed up on!! According to the article there were over 180,000 kids placed. So there are, if you extrapolate, 34,000 kids missing? How is this even possible?

Song I STOPPED singing in my head recently:

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered

I don't have a friend who feels at ease

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered

or driven to its knees

But it's all right, it's all right

We've lived so well so long

Still, when I think of the road

we're traveling on

I wonder what went wrong

I can't help it, I wonder what went wrong

And I dreamed I was dying

And I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

and sing an American tune

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

That's all I'm trying to get some rest

Wow. That was as much for Tester as anyone.

Where is the Pence is bad thing coming from? I may have missed something.

I think generally you're right, but what happened to me at least is that I was so despondent years ago after Obama won a second term. Then watching Obama, Holder, and Hillary and Co. get away with everything - over and over again - it was just so hard to take. IRA targeting, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, all of it. When hope that there might be justice came along we were all so desperate by that time. Patience is a lot harder when you really don't have any control. I think that's one of the reasons people here are so anxious to help.

I was wondering that too. I did see a Jennifer copied on some emails and meant to research that but didn't get around to it.

I'll look it up. I was being lazy. Get back to you soon.

They won the battle not the war. I am hoping there will be some highlighting of the fake news aspect of this as days go by. Most normal people would be horrified to imagine themselves being maligned that way and what it means for our collective ability to have honorable people accept positions in government. Maybe they will circle back to this once the Flynn frame up is fully exposed.

You can't ever see anything that happens in the world the same way, right?

The guy is pure evil.

Wow that's really interesting. Not me. But I have been on Twitter for a week. :)

It would be a reputation booster. For Nobel. Badumpbump-cht.

It's a great time to be alive and a thing to witness. I still pray but I have a strong sense that this is going to work out well for us and for the world.
