“Giuliani associate willing to tell Congress that Nunes met with ex-Ukrainian official to get dirt on Biden”

"This story is going to get CNN in a whole lot of trouble. Deliberately peddling fake news from Fusion GPS that nobody else would publish because it’s so baseless? Garbage journalism, but classic CNN. We’re talking “Michael Cohen in Prague” level fabulism."
per Sean Davis

Nunes ahould have no problem proving his whereabouts; 11/23/19, 10:59 AM
tcrosse said...: AN article in the Telegraph contained an extract of writing by an American. They put (sic) behind words which were spelled American style where they differed from British spelling. This seems ungracious. Humour (sic) me.; 11/23/19, 11:47 AM
narciso said...: an interesting detail that I wasn't aware until I heard of the various planes, venus is not about 20 million miles away, but it's another angle, so it took bigger even though it's a mere fraction of the size of Jupiter,; 11/23/19, 11:48 AM
Ann Althouse said...: “ Not sure which impresses me more: the photographs or getting up for a sunrise!”

Sunrise was at 7:01 today so I was up hours before.

It might be a little hard to do in June!; 11/23/19, 11:53 AM

Laslo Spatula said...: I especially like the second photograph.

But it needs a duck.

All photographs of tranquil bodies of water look better with a duck.

A duck also spurs us to contemplate our lives in a way that the water doesn't quite have.

But water AND a duck? You are set to ponder for hours.

Maybe next time Althouse should look for a duck.

I like ducks.

I am Laslo.; 11/23/19, 1:05 PM

MadisonMan said...: How nice to have Sun on a day in November, Wisconsin's cloudiest month.; 11/23/19, 2:44 PM
Maillard Reactionary said...: I agree with Laslo regarding the second picture, although I am not as much of a duck fan as he seems to be. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (Heck, there's even a chorus in Handel's Messiah, "We Like Sheep". They're out and proud, like they should be.)

Sure, ducks on water are very pictorial. But, absent the duck(s), you concentrate on the water itself, which is fascinating and mysterious in its way. It reflects, and reflects upon, the sky. I love photographing water.

Ducks are no problem, but don't get me started on those year-round "migratory" so-called "Canada" geese. This is Jersey, not Canada. How did they get here, anyway? Frequent flier miles?; 11/23/19, 3:15 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Great pix!

On another note, Joe Biden tells Dems to stop the circular firing squad!

Civility Bullshit!; 11/23/19, 3:17 PM
Maillard Reactionary said...: Also, I'm with tcrosse. I'm adding The Salvation Army to my list of year-end donations and plan on remembering them in my will.

God knows we need all the salvation we can get.; 11/23/19, 3:20 PM
Maillard Reactionary said...: Joe Biden is a one-man circular firing squad.; 11/23/19, 3:21 PM

Bay Area Guy said...: Also, if you ever get down or depressed about the future of the USA, watch a Ohio St v Penn State football game and check out:

1. The incredible athletes on the field;
2. The exuberant youngsters in the stands;
3. The wacky talented marching band at half-time; and
4. Post-game victory celebration as the fans storm the Buckeye field.

It'll restore hope for humanity!; 11/23/19, 3:25 PM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: @Phidippus

Nice one!

...btw-- if Biden officially announced his candidacy April 25, 2019,

any digging on corruption in Ukraine, Burisma, Bidens prior to this date
is fair game, no? Not that it isnt afterwards, either, but what could be the complaint?

Are investigators supposed to now ask "are you now, or do you ever plan to in the future run for political office?"
If so, then they are off limits/immune (providing there's a 'D'after the name); 11/23/19, 3:31 PM
Beasts of England said...: Very nice photos! I spend about 300 nights per year at the lake, with the water fifty feet off of my back deck. I face northeast (60°) so only get the sunsets out on the boat. I’ve found the peak times for photographing cloud color are fifteen minutes before sunrise and fifteen after sunset. Your inclination may vary.

A good mixture of waterfowl so far this year. And some pelicans have returned for the third consecutive year, so maybe we garnered positive reviews on Zagat.; 11/23/19, 3:52 PM
Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...: good day so far--
