“It hit the rim.”
“…just giving away this game.”
“Oh come on!”
“How did neither of those shots go in?”
“I was sure the tip was in.”
Trying to decide if my social media feed is about the four page Barr summary of the Mueller Report or a basketball game.

The displays have started.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report has been forwarded to the Attorney General who has yet to release anything to Congress or the public. Meanwhile cable news network talking heads and panels are spinning without knowing. Or are they?
Here in west central Missouri this morning a large and very pushy group of Grackles descended on the bird seed out back, pushing out other feeding birds and pushing around each other.
Grackle. Quiscalus quiscula.
F 5.6, 1/1000 ISO 1600, 400 mm.
Just one too many times:
Grackle. Quiscalus quiscula.
F 5.6, 1/1000 ISO 1600, 400 mm.
Unlike the cable news network talking heads, at least this Grackle is getting something worthwhile out of his display.

The American people deserve to know the full truth about Russia’s interference in our democracy. The Special Counsel report must be publicly released in its entirety.

Dem. @RepRoKhanna calls reports Kushner was using WhatsApp to communicate with foreign officials “ironic”: Pres. Trump “ran his whole presidential campaign accusing Hillary Clinton of having a private server. … Here you have something that’s much worse.”…

Early this morning:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
It’s truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of “the other side.” Like an advertisement without consequences. Same with Late Night Shows……

Says the 21st century’s most obvious beneficiary of the FEC’s 1987 repeal of the “fairness doctrine”.
So fragile, eh?
