Donald Trump tweeted that President Obama had him wiretapped during the election campaign.
Now the House of Representatives has held hearings and the FBI director said, in effect, that was not true.
OK, so the tweet was a mistake, own up to it and apologize to President Obama. Case closed.
But
now, Trump is not admitting anything. In my mind, this now clearly
moves from a possible mistaken tweet to a lie. This is denying reality
and pressing on with a lie.
This is far more serious
than President Clinton's lies about sex but he was Impeached for lying.
This is one president calling another president a criminal. When does
(did?) this become impeachable? How long will the House put up with
stuff like this? How long?
Call your Representative and ask her or him - how long?

An experiment with Linux
I was upgrading my laptop to a 1000 gig harddrive from a 250 gig
disk. I was running out of space. so it was cheaper and a little
faster for a newer drive.
I tried the official way to backup and restore the whole drive but even the backup part didn't work from Winders. That has been my entire complaint against Ms's backp attempts.
So I decided to rebuild the whole PC, installing all the programs anew from downloaded sources.
Well, guess what? MY legal product key wasn't good enough to move to another machine. Fuck that!
LINUX HERE I COME!
So once again I have set a marker. Nine (9) years ago I decided to try openoffice on my windows machine. I thought I'd run it until I could not exchange documents with other employees or other people who used Microsoft Office that I communicated with.
It never happend. I'm still exchanging docs with everyone. Bye Bye Microsoft Office.
Now in 2017, I'm trying the same thing with my operating system (OS - that was Windows 7). My plan is to use Linux Mint. Mint is much like Windows and I've installed every program (aka App) as I've realized it is missing. So far nothing has been missing. Here's my list in case you've got some special program:
LibreOffice (instead of OpenOffice)
Firefox (instead of Microcsoft Explorer (or Edge) - but I already ran Firefox and Chrome on Winders)
Thunderbird (already ran it on Winders, now runs on Linux)
Password Safe
Dropbox
VirtualBox
so you get the idea, whatever you run on Winders can be found on Linux.
I like the LInux version - Mint because it seems much closer to Winder for the interface. You can figure it out without much trouble and it will save you ALL the horrible issues of moving between newer computers - without all the failures I found of trynig Windows copy/backup of your files and any copy protection crap. Look. if your backups and copying all work, tell the world on Facebook or whatever.
My copy stuff didn't work for shucks, and I'm a computer expert. Maybe that is my problem with computers, as always, your milleage may vary.
.
And if a program isn't available for Linux, there is Wine ...
My davice, go for it - you do NOT need Winders!

When do we call it?
Yeah, I'm talking impeachment.
Everyone in Washington D. C. is talking about it in hushed terms. Not enough to be reported on the 6 o'clock news. But They are talking about it. Ask your Senator (but probably not your Rep).
When does the crazy get to be too much? The "wiretap" claims by the president are proving to be untrue. So, did President Trump lie? Did he have a rightwing TV induce brain fart? Is he delusional? More than 'inquiring minds' want to know. The future or our nation is clearly at stake.
So I'm stating the President, Donald Trump must step down. Mark this date. I hope many people have pre-dated me in this call. And here is this call:
Mr. Trump,
You have violated so many US laws and Constitutional limitations that you must either stop down (as Presiden Nixon did) or the Congress must Impeach you.

Wheels on the Bus
You know this song, sing it with me:
The wheels on the bus are coming off, coming off, coming off
The wheels on the bus are coming off, coming off, coming off
The Trump Admin - i - stra - tion
I lived through Watergate. It was painful to watch but eventually good for the country. The only difference I see now is that this is happening much faster.
First Flynn, now Sessions; it is just like watching the start of Watergate again.
