57. I'd suggest you look up the definition of "butt"
Fri Mar 3, 2017, 03:08 PM
Mar 2017

It is a traditional unit of measure. A cylinder 4 feet high and 4 feet in diameter. 2 butts is equal to one tun. One butt is two hogsheads.

If you people would stop your sophmoric Beavis & Butthead "He said butt" snickering, looking for a reason to be offended, you might learn something.

I refer to people like this as The Professionally Offended.

I believe that's where we got the term "pork butt". The anatomy is actually the pig's shoulder but the meat was contained in "butt" for transport, hence the name...

I have my own personal DJT folder that I carry in my tote bag with me everywhere I go. I've accumulated so many negative Trump articles that I had make an index in Excel. I also have several Trump cartoons in this folder. When his time is over, I will refer to this folder years down the road to remind me how America lost its way for a brief moment in history.

I recommend editing your post to indicate it is an exhaustive document concerning the Trump-Russia investigation. People might give it a pass if they don't know what the document is about.

Indicated that Clinton mega-donor hedge-funder Marc Rich (whom Bill Clinton famously pardoned) was a major shareholder in the Rosneft oil company.

I can't find any source indicating the truth of that statement. But the implication, which the Right is furiously trying to spin, is that this is ALL part of an elaborate Obama/Clinton smear campaign, somehow backed by the Russians!

Yeah sure. She sabotaged her own election because ... er, uh, that's just how insidious she is!

...blame it on the Clintons! Seriously, once you pull yourself away from all the barrage of ludicrous bullshit and get the 10,000 foot overview, it becomes glaringly apparent that there are some truly, truly damaged people in this world. I knew it was bad, I knew "the stupid" was raging like a flu epidemic on steroids, but it was the "Comet Ping-Pong Pizza scandal" that truly put me over the edge.

I got this to save with the links in tact by using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C then pasting it into a Word document. If it asks you to keep the source formatting or use the destination, keep the source.

Only problem is that it is so extensive that quick and overview don't belong in the same sentence in this case. Wow! Having done literature reviews in grad school, I can only imagine the time and effort it took to compile this treasure trove of documents!

Do yourself a favor: if you endeavor to read through this, pull up a comfy chair, make a beverage and snacks and clear your calendar. You can glean a lot just by scanning through the article titles.

Wow! Very long, but what a read! Whoever put this together deserves a medal.

So much information has been flying around and this is a terrific way to process it all.

This is some scary stuff. I have always thought from day one that there is no way Russia or those acting on Russia's behalf didn't hack or tamper with votes counted/not counted in the election. I will never waiver from that. I am not a conspiracy theorist.

Simple minded people want a simple answer to why he won so they go with the "I had no idea there were so many stupid people in the US" or "the nonvoters/third party voters caused him to win". I do not believe that. I believe it was stolen.
