I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Wasn't the actual research something about developing artificial muscle fibers or something for amputees?

I might be thinking of another study that they did that was originally decried as useless but shed a lot of insight into muscle fibers.

Also, remember that Fox News was created by a post-Nixon Roger Ailes with the sole purpose of preventing another Watergate. No, not to prevent the president from doing crimes. From preventing the public to be outraged at the president doing crimes.

Did you register for intersession classes with your school? I did this and it caused some trouble but it got fixed.

You have to register every time you take a class.

Nah, I got approved for Voc Rehab in late January so my actual paperwork didn't get processed until this week.

quote:

For much of the past year, President Trump has declined to participate in a practice followed by the past seven of his predecessors: He rarely if ever reads the President’s Daily Brief, a document that lays out the most pressing information collected by U.S. intelligence agencies from hot spots around the world.

Trump has opted to rely on an oral briefing of select intelligence issues in the Oval Office rather than getting the full written document delivered to review separately each day, according to three people familiar with his briefings.

Reading the traditionally dense intelligence book is not Trump’s preferred “style of learning,” according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

The arrangement underscores Trump’s impatience with exhaustive classified documents that go to the commander in chief — material that he has said he prefers condensed as much as possible. But by not reading the daily briefing, the president could hamper his ability to respond to crises in the most effective manner, intelligence experts warned.

Even reading the summary is just too much for your favorite President (me).

Oh I know, it's just me looking back to when that memo's existence was revealed and everyone lost their loving minds that Bush *might* have not read the whole thing.

I remember they spent ages arguing that he read the whole thing.

Now we have a guy who without a shadow of a doubt, doesn't bother to read his PDB and has others digest it for him. It's just funny.

John Kelly's not going to last another month. Not only did he know about Porter and promoted him, Porter was also given access to classified information before his clearance is granted. The administration is backpedaling and saying he had an interim, but we all know that's not sufficient to view the kind of poo poo floating around the White House.

Also, the administration is saying they have "Full confidence" in Kelly, which is what they say right before they fire someone.

There's a rumor that Lewandowski is being blamed for all lot of the Porter stuff. You may recall that he cheated on his wife (A 9/11 widow) with Hope Hicks who Porter is now dating. It would not surprise me in the least if it comes out that she was the community bicycle in this administration.

They just won't be let back in through customs after deployments or TDYs. Maybe even just detained. Or ICE will just do it and nobody will stop them.
