No worries. Once Trump is out of office that treasonous POS who continues to defile our nation’s White House on a daily basis will be indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced into a federal penitentiary for the remainder of his miserable existence. Mark these words.From a veteran.
In retrospect I REALLY sucked Chris Smitha day ago
SO go ahead and lay out that case for treason Bufford.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Chris Smith In retrospect I REALLY suckeda day ago
Read the Mueller Report in its entirety and pull yourself out of your pit of ignorance and cowardice.
FVS Chris Smitha day ago
Maybe you should, seeing as it states that there is nothing PROSECUTABLE either now or after he is out of office. But of course you don't care about facts, only your butthurt emotions. Come on genius show us where Mueller's report cites a single chapter of the US code as relates to either collusion/conspiricy or obstruction of justice that was violated by the President, any of his family members, or their campaign or personal staffs.Oh wait you can't because it doesn't. Thank you for your service but enough of the "from a veteran" crap. That loans nothing to the value of your OPINION. In fact I would say it detracts from it because you are so demonstrably wrong.

Penning as someone who attended law school I will state with complete authority that you have not a clue as to what you spew.
FVS Chris Smitha day ago
Attended and apparently failed miserably. Any criminal charging document, regardless of the level of government, MUST include by law a citation of the chapter of the criminal code that it alleges to have been violated. Read the report law school dropout. There is not a single charge made or any chapter of the US Code cited as having been violated. "Obstructive acts" is not a legal term no matter how much your clearly limited intellect wishes it were.
Try again dropout.
FVS Chris Smitha day ago
So prove me wrong you "wish I was a lawyer but couldn't cut it" pathetic dropout.
Oh wait you can't. Why? Because you're a stupid loser who stuck his neck out with "I attended law school" and got your head chopped off. Do yourself a favor, spare yourself any further humiliation and just STFU and go away!
Chris Smith FVSa day ago
Little insignificant man, would you care/dare to compare and contrast our respective resumes? POST IT, you uneducated intellectual lightweight!I AM WAITING! I AM CALLING YOUR PATHETIC BLUFF AND YOUR BIG MOUTH!
FVS Chris Smith19 hours ago
Nice try at deflection there dropout. I don't give a crap about your resume. What I do want to point out is that you are either ignorant or deceitful. Prove me wrong a hole.
Get a clue loser the US Code on obstruction of justice ONLY applies to interference in legal proceedings. The SCOTUS has previously ruled that an investigation IS NOT A LEGAL PROCEEDING.
Show me how me how formal charges can be filed in any jurisdiction in the US without citing the law by code and number that is alleged to have been violated. The police can't even give you a speeding ticket without citing a specific code number.
Now show me where in Mueller's report he cites any law in the US code by number relating to collusion/conspiricy or obstruction of justice that he alleges to have been violated by anyone never mind the President.YOU WON'T, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T, BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST. Kind of like you legal training.So take your resume in butthurt, slather it with Preparation H and stick it where it might do you some good. You have been owned. Now go away, sit down and STFU!

Not on the best day of your pathetic existence, snowflake.I called your bluff and your big mouth. And just as I anticipated, you folded like a gutless, spineless coward.Now I’ll ask again, you intellectual lightweight. At which law school did you (never) matriculate?I’d wager $10,000 that you never earned anything more than a meager HS diploma due to (a) obviously limited intellect, and (b) your lifetime of sloth and laziness.Own it, you candy derrièred punk who is not fit to shine my shoes.
- FVS Chris Smith 10 hours ago
Firstly, I never claimed to have a JD or to have even attended any law school.
Secondly, I don't see how anybodys resumé has anything to do with easily discernible facts. Hint: it doesn't take a JD to read or understand the English language.
Thirdly, Neither does it take a genius to see that you are avoiding the questions posed. Why? Because you can't answer them in a way that supports your position.
Fourthly, If you could you would but you can't so you resort to deflection and trying to change the subject.Trouble you have is that you are not the first deceitful, lying, leftist fool I have had try this. Stick to the subject at hand a hole. Oh wait you can't because simple easily observable facts (how things really are) conflicts with how you want them to be.
This is what is known as cognitive dissonance. And I'm sure it causes you a certain degree of mental anguish and confusion.
My reaction to that? GOOD! You've earned it. I hope it's painful and keeps you awake at night. The thought that it might makes me smile.Oh and one more thing. If you are so damn smart and confident in your positions/opinions why is your profile private? Are you afraid of being held accountable for your fraud, deceit and lies?Go away fool. You have nothing. Kind of like the Mueller report!
- As of this point on Saturday afternoon I have heard nothing more from the inestimable Mr. Smith.

It Is Finished
Somehow, someway, Barr found out the Mueller was not going to charge anyone for collusion/conspiricy or anything of the sort, and that he was going to hang his entire case for obstruction on a single obscure and vague subsection of the statute that is so broad as to make it possible to interpret even legal acts as obstruction. This is what led Barr to write his own 20 page brief on his interpretation of said obscure subsection.
He submitted this brief not to Mueller but to Rosenstein who no doubt sent it on to Mueller. Barr, being known as one of the most competent attorneys in the country, his brief apparently blew Mueller's premise out of the water.
Thus when Sessions was fired and Barr was nominated and confirmed as the new Attorney General, Mueller and company knew that the jig was up. Barr's brief had them checkmated before they could even make their play and they knew it. So less than six weeks later (note here that the investigation had at that point been funded through September) Mueller submited his report with no findings of collusion and more importantly no findings of obstruction. Apparently even Mueller recognized that any justification he put forth for obstruction would not stand up to Barr's interpretation of the statute if taken to court. Which it most assuredly would have been. This also explains why the slimebag Winestein immediately beat feet out of town.
Sciff for brains, Nadless Nadler and a the rest have nothing and they know it, but they went all in Texas Hold 'em style and they have no other option but to try and destroy Barr over what are now a couple of completely irrelevant letters.
It's over and the left knows it but they can't let go now. Attacking Barr is the only thing keeping their heads above the surface of the cesspool of lies that they have filled to the brim and are now drowning in.
They filled it with their shit, now let them drown in it. The sooner the better for the country and for all concerned.

Maybe, Just Maybe .... Or Another Democrat Unintend Consequence.
Maybe, just maybe, losing the House will become the gift nobody expected. An unintended consequence of Democrat incompetence. The remaining Republicans in the chamber will be more solidly behind the President now with Rayn and other RINO globalists gone (and good riddance). Nancy Palsi and company won't be able to hide by saying, "Don't yell at us we don't control the House!" So now the Prez is free to yell at them all he likes for their obstruction and duplicity. Nancy and Chuck U Schumer don't care if Trump calls them out in private. But they sure don't want him to do it in front of live cameras.
Why not? For all the reasons we saw with our own eyes. Shak'n Nan had no answers and Chucky looked like his colitis was about to betray him in a way that he knew his Depend® undergarment would not contain. These swine love it so when the news media gets to edit the tapetape the story any way that suits the narrative or talking point of the party. If there is anything they hate it's an uncontrolled live TV news feed. From their perspective this one went from bad to worse real quick.
Clearly Nan 'n' Chuck didn't have their lies straight before they walked into the ambush on Pennsylvania Avenue. But don't fret they will have a new set of them for each new hour trying to spin their embarrassing, humiliating defeat and stinging exposure at the hands of the President they obsessively love to hate.
Solid 95% to 5% bet that neither of these weasels will be making anymore live appearances with Trump anytime soon.
Democrats need to be asking themselves, if these niwits are so incapable of thinking on their feet or doing even basic contingency planning, WHAT THE HELL ARE THY DOING IN CONGRESS NEVER MIND IN THE LEADERSHIP???
Now just wait one minute there! These dumbocraps think that all they need to do is get the message out that they start being less right brain and more left brain

The Collusion Delusion, When Will It End? Not Anytime Soon.
If there is any lesson from the last two years of innuendo, speculation, baseless accusations and seemingly endless investigations it is that the left, incapable of excepting the simple reality that Hillary could or did lose the election and consumed by hatred, invented a countervailing reality that Hillary lost because Trump cheated and his entire family and election campaign was, is a vast criminal conspiracy.
The fact that both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, after conducting their own investigations, found no evidence of collusion between either Trump or his campaign and any Russians in furtherance of manipulating the election results, was quickly and repeatedly dismissed if it was covered at all. The only acceptable mantra became that we must "wait for Mueller to complete his investigation".
But now with the completion of the Special Council's investigation and the release of Attorney General Barr's preliminary summation, which includes extensive quotations from the report, that countravailing reality is unraveling faster than a ball of yarn in a box full of kittens. Now caught, if not trapped, by another reality, another set of unintended consequences they never thought was possible, there is no new countervailing or preinvented reality to fall back on in spite of several weeks of warnings that the report would be disappointing at best.
So Mueller is instantaneously been transformed from the savior of the narrative into the betrayer of the narrative. His findings are irrelevant to previously invented countervailing reality that must be held to, evidence or the lack of it be damned. In their minds the only straw they can grasp is "Trump might be not guilty but that doesn't mean he's innocent." The lament of every prosecutor who ever lost a case.
With no new countervailing reality, beyond demanding yet more investigations, the danger is that the obvious cognitive dissonance will collapse into a very real insanity. And when insanity fails to find any substantive reality it can and often does further devolve into violence that needs no justifications beyond violence and hatred themselves.
Given what we have already seen from much of the left we should fully expect the situation in many respects to get worse before it gets better. The extreme radicals will inflame their shock troops of social justice warriors and antifa with their already established proclivities for violence. As von Clausewitz said "War is the continuation of politics by other means." They won't say it out loud, at least no yet, but they fully intend to go war. Trouble is they have no idea what that means. Neither do most of the people who will be their targets until it's to late.
If anyone thought the 2016 campaign was tumultuous, hold on to your hats. The next 20 months will become increasingly chaotic. How much and how quickly the Democrat field gets narrowed by conformity with the extremists will be key. Will the shock troops be employed against any non-conforming Democrats as well as Trump supporters? Will there be any Democrats with the guts to stand up to the radicals, their irrational rhetoric and violence? Don't bet on it.

A Most Curious Dichotomy
Over the course of the "me too" movement more and more of the supposed leading lights of the entertainment and media conglomerates have been exposed as people of dubious character and devoid of any morality, sexual or otherwise.
Meanwhile we are subjected to "moral" judgement from these same people and the institutions that have protected them for years if not decades. Can you hear me Mr. Moonves? Mr. Lauer? CBS, NBC? Yet we are expected to ignore this contradiction and tell ourselves that a predatory personal morality is irrelevant to an individual's political position.
Such is the nature of 21st century theater of the absurd. Don't examine the facts and reach your own conclusions. Just listen and obey. If you don't, you are a homophobe or a racist or what ever is the pejorative du jur. And they wonder what so many people simply loath them.

More Adventures, This Time From Library/Hobby Room.
Our only son, and boat loads of our cash, went to Clemson University. So this year in celebratory combination of his birthday and the anniversary of his graduation I decided to build him a model of the USS Clemson.
In reality of course this ship had no real connection to either the university or the town of Clemson SC. The only exception being that a local resident rescued the ship's bell before she went to the breakers after the Second World war. In reality she was named for a young Navy Ensign who was killed during the Mexican American War. But the coincidence of name is enough of an excuse for me to build, modify and detail out another model ship.
The ship actually had a varied and interesting career. Completed too late to see service in WW I she was sent into the reserve fleet and later was mothballed after less than a year of active duty.
With war looming in both Europe and Asia she was recalled from the mothball fleet, refitted and recommissioned as fast auxiliary seaplane tender AVD-4. In this capacity she supported air craft scouting operations on both sides of the Panama Canal, mostly to the South and working out of the Galapagos Islands.
Revel Models produced the original molds for this kit and it was marketed under the name of several ship's of both the Clemson and Wickes classes of destroyers.
Revel was not known for highly detailed ship models and this one is no exception. To make it a presentation piece was going to require more than just glue and paint.
After the battle of Midway the Japanese threat to the Canal was considered greatly reduced. The Clemson was then returned to her orinal hull number and designation as a destroyer. She was transferred to the Atlantic fleet and saw extensive convoy escort duty earning several battle stars and a Presidential Unit Citation.
Examining the model and instructions it was clear that the first thing that would be required would be to replace all the railings with photo etched brass parts. A set in the appropriate 1/240 scale was found a Tom's Model Works and also included ship's ladders that we not provided in proper numbers in the origional kit.
Early 1944 saw her again in the yards and again refitted and redesignated. This time as a fast auxillary troop transport APD-31, capable of carrying a third of battalion of Marines. Transfered to the Pacific she earned yet more battle stars in operations around Palau and the Philippines.
Other details were added after examination of photographs of the Clemson and other ships in her class.
All these additional parts and details were made from brass sheet, stock plastic and fabric. All the rigging was done with .015" dia. Wire. The display base made from pine board in my shop. The drydock timbers were also made from pine scrap pieces. The display case itself is made from .060" thick clear polycarbonate sheet and edged with 3/16" extruded plastic angle and small pieces of flat sheet reenforcing the corners. Small details are yet to be added such as flags and painted on rust streaks in the appropriate places. There will also need to be some paint touch up as is revealed to be needed in close up photographs. I am also considering adding a mirror to the back panel of the display case so that both the port and starboard sides can be examined.
As the war in the Pacific closed in on the Japanese home islands the Clemson once again back in the shipyard for yet another refit and redesignation that would see her returned to her origional duty as DD-186. The Navy was planning for the invasion of Japan and no doubt felt that more destroyers would be needed to protect the carrier taskforces and the the invasion force troop transports. The Atom Bomb ended the war before this last refit was completed. She was soon decomissioned and stuck from the Navy registry of ships. Sold for scrap before the end of 1945, she no doubt found her way into the automobiles, refrigerators and razor blades of the postwar boom economy.
Some would say that that was an ignominious end for a noble ship. Others would argue that it was symbolic of what she, the crews who sailed in her and so many other ships were fighting for in the first place.

More Adventures From The Backyard Workshop
 |
| So who doesn't like swords? |
The shorter of the two is double edged and made from 2" x 1/4" 4140 cold drawn carbon steel flat bar. the
The guard is made from a piece of 316L stainless steel 2" schedule 40 seamless pipe. This was cut in half longitudinally. There is a piece of 1/4" cold drawn carbon steel square bar welded into the bottom with 309 stainless filler wire.
This allowed the previously shaped and sharpened blade to be full penetration welded to the square bar using high strength E80S-B2 vanadium steel filler wire. Short intermittent sequence welds we're used and allowed to cool thoroughly before the next sequence was applied. This sequencing prevented the blade material from heating up to the point where the temper would have been lost.
The Handle is made of two pieces. The main portion is made from 1" cold drawn 12L14 carbon steel hexagonal bar. The pommel is 1-1/4" 420 stainless steel round bar. These two were welded with 309 stainless steel filler wire. This assembly was then carefully tacked and welded to the to the outer side of the pipe section in order to maintain axial alignment with the blade.
The balance point is about 1-1/4" from the base of the blade so it can wielded with either one or two hands.
The longer blade is single edged and again made from cold drawn 4140 cold drawn carbon steel. This time 1" x 3/8" flat bar was used. The guard is made from four separate pieces of 1018 cold drawn 1" x 1/4" flat bar. The edge joints were deeply v-grooved, corner and lap joints were full fillet welded. The blade was then full penetration welded to the guard with the same method as above. The handle is made from 13/16" 4140 cold drawn round bar and 1" 420 stainless steel round bar.
Still yet to be made are display boards for hanging them on the wall. These were made for display but the 4140 quenched and tempered takes a wicked sharp edge!

I Didn't Ask For Verification But...Voltaire Is Dead.
In my last post I discussed the, deserved I feel, demise of long time pundit Bernard Goldberg by his own hand, by employing a questionable character to operate his comment areas and allowing him to use the same Alinskyite tactics as the left. His favorite being labeling people as racist, giving them strikes and then banning them.
Today, as a new post was put up, there was a new addition to the comment area. Individuals now are required to " verify" their email address before being allowed to post. This is of course an open assault on both individual privacy and the important concept of anonymous political commentary, especially when dealing with those more concerned with the maintenance authority and influence than with either the truth or honest debate. It is a long standing concept, without which the American revolution could not have been undertaken, never mind succeed.
Voltaire said, "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend unto death your right to say it."
These concepts are already dead in much of Western Europe and are rapidly dieing in American discourse. If we allow this to continue the great American experiment will succumb to fascism. Not the phony fascism of leftist delusions and accusations against the President, but very real fascism. All the horrors envisioned by the leftists will come true. But it won't be Trump who creates them. It will be by the growing coalition of the establishment left and the globalist neocons.
They are already exposing themselves in many ways and not just in the corrupt banning of information sources they don't like. The recent statements of Bill Kristol are more than adaquate proof. That acorn didn't fall far from the tree. His father was an infamous Trotskyite and now that the left is openly endorsing Trotskyite "Democratic Socialism" he is simply returning to his family roots.
This isn't taking the first step on a slippery slope. That step was taken long ago. This is stepping to the edge of a cliff. This is the 21st century equivalent of book burning. Sadly for us all this is not the first batch of fascist to burn books. That history shows that it doesn't end well is meaningless to them. As German philosopher and poet Heinrich Heine noted in 1820, "Where they burn books they will end burning human beings." What was a visionary warning in 1820 is still visionary today.

Bernie Goldberg Buys His Own Demise.
At one point in time, many years ago, I had a certain amount of respect for Bernie Goldberg and his exposes on media bias. He was one of them, he ought to know right?
He was of course ostracized by these very same media outlets and his primary public outlet became a weekly appearance on Bill O'Reilly's now defunked (for good reason) "No Spin Zone".
This has apparently left him with little exposure beyond social media platforms and his own web page.
Sadly, for whatever reason his has chosen to employ a nasty little fascist, who shall remain nameless for now, to monitor the comments on his site.
Maybe it's old age or maybe Bernie is in reality is just as nasty, bigoted and biased as the leftist media moguls who pushed him out. The actions of his resident attack dog and his denials if his corrupt Alinskyite tactics would seem to indicate that he is.
Poor Bernie has long since revealed himself as what is often referred to as a cuck or neverTrumper. He doesn't like the Democrats per se but he can't divorce himself from the insider game of establishment politics and punditry. He just can't bring himself to see that both political establishments lie with impunity and both are doing everything they can to destroy the United States as a soverign nation and drag us into some would be globalist coalition. To that end he was of course a Jeb Bush supporter.
Bush and the rest of the party establishment all failed miserably in the face of the Trump juggernaut and the pissed off American voters.
So now having lost the election Bernie and his attack dog have reduced themselves to using the EXACT SAME METHODS as the leftists in attacking anyone who would dare question there failed judgement. Lie about them, belittle and mock them. Call them racists, call them mentally unstable, whatever it takes to try and drive them off. Do anything and everything EXCEPT engage in honest debate. When that fails they of course resort to that oldest standby by of would be petty tyrants, they ban them from expressing their opinion on their outlets.
This is of course the same thing that was done to Bernie but that unfair treatment apparently has not provided any enlightenment.
Small wonder then that Bernie has not found a new perch on any TV outlet and his hiring of an individual of very limited education and intellect to run his web site.
Well Bernie your methods and hiring of a pernicious coward and ignoramus to run your operation will only accelerate your passing into oblivion on the internet. Censorship and 21st century book burning is a sure prescription for failure. Maybe you've earned it. If it also drags your little attack dog into that hole it's a good thing. Let me throw in the first shovel of dirt.

He just can't bring himself to see that both political establishments lie with impunity and both are doing everything they can to destroy the United States as a soverign nation and drag us into some would be globalist coalition. To that end he was of course a Jeb Bush supporter.
Bush and the rest of the party establishment all failed miserably in the face of the Trump juggernaut and the pissed off American voters.
So now having lost the election Bernie and his attack dog have reduced themselves to using the EXACT SAME METHODS as the leftists in attacking anyone who would dare question there failed judgement. Lie about them, belittle and mock them. Call them racists, call them mentally unstable, whatever it takes to try and drive them off. Do anything and everything EXCEPT engage in honest debate. When that fails they of course resort to that oldest standby by of would be petty tyrants, they ban them from expressing their opinion on their outlets.
This is of course the same thing that was done to Bernie but that unfair treatment apparently has not provided any enlightenment.
Small wonder then that Bernie has not found a new perch on any TV outlet and his hiring of an individual of very limited education and intellect to run his web site.
Well Bernie your methods and hiring of a pernicious coward and ignoramus to run your operation will only accelerate your passing into oblivion on the internet. Censorship and 21st century book burning is a sure prescription for failure. Maybe you've earned it. If it also drags your little attack dog into that hole it's a good thing. Let me throw in the first shovel of dirt.

The Demonrats are trapped in a "zugzwang". A German chess term meaning that any move you can make will only make your position worse. The best move is to make no move at all. Let the tenor of the commentary soften for a while before something really violent happens. Something worse than the attempted assassinations of Republican Congressman and a Senator.
But they can't do that. The disease had taken firm root. Everything Trump says or does has to be reacted to as if it were even more apocalyptic in nature than what he did in the previous week or day.
Trump is winning, just like he said he would. The Dems impotentcy in stopping him becomes more apparent every day. They are scared, frustrated and enraged. So enraged that they no longer think in rational forms, there every move becomes more extreme than the last one.
The primary victory of this "Democratic Socialist" in New York and the DNC chair saying "she is the future of the party" is going to hurt more than it helps the Dumbocrats.

She is the perfect manifestation of the naive "Gimme Dat", spoiled brat, political hack. For whatever reason Republicans can meme way better than Democrats. Imagine just her face with a big D logo and "the future of the party" next to a scrolling list of communist demands straight from the Democratic Socialist own website. Hopefully the RNC is hiring some young, imaginative, tech savvy conservatives to do this sort of thing.
Should the Demonrats fail to secure control of one or both of the houses of Congress or worse their position weakens even further, their decent into madness will only accelerate. They have so convinced themselves that their perspective on issues and people is so enlightened, do elevated above the common man that they are also convincing themselves that their view must be imposed by force if necessary "for the good of all".
That many Americans who normally vote Democrat recognise this madness for what it is and are either voting Trump/Republican or not voting at all spells doom for the Democrats as presently configured.
A small shift in the normally monolithic black/Latino vote will crush them. Trump asked them in 2016 "What have you got to lose?" Enough delivered in the Rust Belt so now he is delivering to them on jobs, and raises/bonuses, tax cuts and deregulation. All those things that directly effect individual prosperity. And prosperity is very, very popular, especially in the privacy of the voting booth.
Don't be surprised if the "Blue Wave" becomes just a Ty-D-Bol flush. But hey watching the Demonrat's party split in two might be fun. Maybe they can say "Hey America, we're not as communist as those guys over there." Yeah that'll work.
