glad to have you with us here at c99p, make yourself at home.

@joe shikspack
Yeah I know. Up here in Minnesota where high school choirs have considerably more status than most athletic teams, this thing is still widely taught. But I know this practice doesn't travel all that far.

Here is a short YouTube of the Stillwater MN high school choir doing a flashmob rendition of O day full of Grace in a hotel swimming pool. They look pretty good too. Which reminds me of the main reason I was in choirs until I was 27—altos.

thanks!

while the piece is a little outside my usual listening, it is quite nice. welcome!

@snoopydawg

the excellent paper that you posted over the weekend (by the professor). Agreed with 98% of it, but couldn't figure out 'why' the Dude ignores that RussiaGate has everything to do with impeaching DT. Frankly, it blew me away that he wrote pages on the topic, and didn't even mention it. Go figure.

Thanks for the tune--look forward to listening to it. I luv their sound!

Here's a must watch interview of Clapper on the lack of evidence that Trump colluded with Putin during the election. Listen as he still tries to sell it after he admits that it's over. As in No Evidence

He starts out lying about the FISA warrant for listening to Trump's campaign. A warrant was taken out because the Steele dossier was their evidence to get one.

Russiagate Is More Fiction Than Fact

Her wrote this in her book, WTF Happened

“I do wonder sometimes about what would have happened if President Obama had made a televised address to the nation in the fall of 2016 warning that our democracy was under attack,” she writes.

Okay. If he had said something about it at the time, then what Hillary. Because of election law, you still wouldn't be president.

Lots of hype, little evidence.

The same holds for the question of collusion. Officials acknowledged to Reuters in May that “they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far.” Well-placed critics of Trump—including former DNI chief James Clapper, former CIA director Michael Morrell, Representative Maxine Waters, and Senator Dianne Feinstein —concur to date.

Recognizing this absence of evidence helps examine what has been substituted in its place. Shattered, the insider account of the Clinton campaign, reports that “in the days after the election, Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss.” Instead, one source recounted, aides were ordered “to make sure all these narratives get spun the right way.” Within 24 hours of Clinton’s concession speech, top officials gathered “to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up.… Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”

This has almost half the country believing that Russia had to have changed either people's minds or their votes, yet the only charges against the people who Mueller has investigated has nothing to do anything during the election. Except that Flynn did collude for Israel on the vote about the illegal settlements. Funny how the media hasn't mentioned that!

@snoopydawg Been saying, on here, multiple times since immediately after watching/hearing it , that before the general (& possibly before the convention, but looked months ago and ABC purges videos(?) so can't be certain), that they slipped in a 'Russia is about to release FAKE EMAILS on a Sunday pol show. It could only be from ABC or NBC non cable for me to have seen it at that time. I posted in an OT here about it, that very day, but didn't post a link.

Then, a day or two later, Wikileaks dropped a batch of emails.

This was thought up before this year. I brought it up several times, and at one point, a very popular member here, by going on a way-back history of red-baiting schpeal, ended up hushing me (I'll stand up for myself better, next time) and again, my observation was buried.

They gave us a verbal heads up and actually told us this was coming.

nice, thanks!

@janis b

This brings back memories. I used to listen to Windham Hill a lot in the 90's. I'll have to find my CDs of them.

David Lanz is another favorite as is George Winston. Introduced to him on a trip to DC and driving through the Maryland countryside.

I listened to this the day I was leaving Utah for California over and over until I drove my brother nuts. Something about this music was about remembering old times and looking forward to new ones.

this summer, you'll have an occasion 'outside' with decent lighting. I don't blame her, either, for hating a flash!

Oh, tell her she's got a kewl name--'Indy' has a nice ring to it.

Hope you don't push yourself too much--we'll be fine if you need to take a complete rest, or, with only music videos for the rest of the week, if need be.

If your cold is just coming on, this might help,

Hot Tea with Honey and Lemon

When you're sick with a cold or the flu, drink plenty of liquids to stay hydrated, and make sure they're hot. Black tea helps soothe a sore throat and chase away the chills with a good dose of virus-fighting interferon. Add a dollop of antioxidant-rich honey and a squeeze of lemon for vitamin C.

heh, sorry, i haven't gotten any new photos of indy (the beautiful black dog). she's really hard to photograph, partly because she is rarely still for long and mostly because she is a lighting challenge. she doesn't really like it when i use a flash (and i don't really blame her, i don't like it much, either) so, in order to get a really good photo of her, i need to shoot her outdoors in sunlight. her coat is actually a mix of black and dark brown hair and it takes fairly bright light to make a photograph match the reality of what my eyes see. (maybe i'm just picky, i dunno.) anyway, one of these days i hope to get some good shots of her and i promise that i'll post them for you.

thanks for staying on top of the continuing efforts of congress to steal the entitlements that we have paid for all of our lives so that they can give the money to their rich friends on wall street.

@joe shikspack

how many others will be also? McConnell says that he will need democrats to work with him when he untangles the tax bill and I'm betting that Schumer is going to "reach across the isle" in the spirit of bipartisanship. He has already hinted at that.

I'm seeing a lot of comments saying that the democrats Need To Grow a Spine and stand up to McConnell and tell them that IF he wants their help on this, then he better...
I have no idea what McConnell needs to do in order for the democrats to work with him.

I'm seeing others write about what Pelosi did in 2006 when she talked about dry powder, but they get all kinds of feedback for being Debbie downers
They have such high hopes this time

in this situation:

“I trust Bernie’s judgment as a politician to a sufficient degree that, if he thinks it’s useful or necessary to catapult a Big Lie, I’m willing to catapult that lie right along with him.”

Other folks will make a different choice, deciding to stick with not catapulting Big Lies on principle.

He of all people know that it didn't happen.
