Could be Trump?

[Icequeen]

I think the Democrats are shitting themselves that he will be a great President.

Right. 

Not going there because you see only what you want to see Al.

All I will say is this, if 1/4 of all this "smoke" I'm reading turns out to be verifiable this will sadly be bigger than Watergate ever was. So keep your popcorn handy, just in case.

Saw speculations about Trump maybe trying to win support from the Democrats, now so many Republicans don't play along nicely.
The guy speculating about this said he thought it a possible scenario, because Trump cares about Trump and successes for Trump. Not about the Republicans.

I wil stay tuned a bit, from a distance.

There is an issue of surveillance/wiretapping/spying on one Candidate/President Elect's administration by the outgoing President's Administration,

It takes a bit more than a few tweets to prove it. If you have something, let the FBI know about it.

EDIT: Guess what? Your Internet history will soon now be sold to the highest bidder, and every single "yea" was from a Republican!

This ruling was published 12/02/16 so the telecommunications industry already had the legal right to sell people's information. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/02/2016-28006/protecting-the-privacy-of-customers-of-broadband-and-other-telecommunications-services If anyone wanted this ruling to stick, they would have published it sooner; they had years to do that. When an outgoing administration bypasses congress and tosses new rulings over the fence during its final days, a new congress has the right to vote to revoke them. Basically what this means is, nothing has changed.

Try not to confuse him.  Just say it was Trump and Putin, that's all he understands.

Still not a shred of evidence.  Maybe you need to stop wasting your time.

Was just pricing coal online the other day, anthracite to be specific. Not actually going to buy coal, and live in paradise with no need for coal, but still know how much a 10 year supply of coal would cost and the special dimensions needed to store it.

Believe it or not, about 25 or so miles downriver on the east bank of the Mississippi there is a coal storage lot(?).  The coal is stored in the open between River Road and the river.   About 200 feet to the left of River Road there is a marsh.   I never thought I would see coal so far from the mountains in such a hot climate just a throw away from the swamp.

Apparently 93% of all coal use in the US is used by utilities companies for generating electricity, so that might be what it's for, that or steel production.

Yeah.  I assume it's being stored there awaiting shipment to some utility plant overseas.  Since there's no railroad nearby, it's transported by ship.  So is it possible it's coming in from overseas? I've never seen any activity there.  But I haven't been down to Plaquemines Parish since before 2000.

First reflex was to say no; can't imagine the US need to import much coal, but the southeastern part of the country does because it's less expensive to import from South America than freight from within the US.

Here's an article from March, 2014 about our coal terminals.  Who knew all these facts?  Or alternate facts?  I didn't.

Who is this lady and what position has she held that may make her claim of spying on Trump credible?

[Icequeen]

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia.

The thing about this is she resigned in September of 2015.

You are absolutely right. That is what makes things more troubling.
Like when leakers have bettet intel than the people investigating.  Shr seems particularly well informed,  up to date and confident in what she is saying. She is also the person to whom relationships could conceivably have been developed to keep her abreast of intel developments...........illegally.

You are right in wgat you say. She should be asked two very difficult questions,  how do you know and how is the spreading of this intel not illegal?

This whole thing has nearly been going a year.  My popcorn is stale.  The funny thing is that Hillary actually had ties with Russia through her foundation.  Media keeps 'forgetting' that.

Undeniably true.
