Do you, being a Con, actually believe the WH explanation that John Bolton was locked out of his account because he's old and forgot his password?Originally Posted by Richard Davis
Oh my, what a tragedy, he was locked out of his Gov't twitter account fpr a month or two. This is world shaking stuff. LOL

Greg, It's the WH explanation that I'm referring to and not a "guess" on my part, so again:Originally Posted by Greg Shaffer
When you brought it up that was the 1st I heard about that.....I would think there are a number of possible explanations for that....including perhaps twitter themselves. I also think any guess I would make would not be any better or worse than your own guess lol

As I said this is the 1st I have even heard of it......any conclusion on my part would be a guess. If you are asking if I believe government tries to spin things in their favor regardless of which administration then I would say yep they do......However whether that is true in this case who knows? You?
I'm merely asking if you agree with the WH explanation that Bolton was locked out of his account because he's old and he forgot his password. A yeah or a nea will do.
I don't have to take a guess because I believe the answer is no. I base that on the fact that Bolton, unlike like Trump, doesn't ramble and is direct and to the point even though I don't agree with all of his political positions. He's also a lawyer with an eye for detail so I don't believe he simply forgot his password as stated by the WH.
Oh, and while we're at it, I like to know if you, by now, know enough to agree or disagree with Trump when he says George W Bush's decision to invade Iraq is the biggest mistake ever made. Well, how about it?

Well, don't be too disheartened. I'm not saying that I have illusions regarding Trump's sliminess. What I was trying (incompletely) to say is that I'm not all that sure exactly how slimy JFK, LBJ and WJC actually were/are. I think that Trump is a lot more WYSIWYG than some of the smooth operators with allies in the press.
Jim
p.s. I intentionally left Nixon off my list - he was a choir boy compared to some.
I think you'll have to reconsider because Rick Perry informed us today that God anointed Trump to be our president. It doesn't get any holier than that...

I actually prefer observing myself. Last night in front of my light-polluted house, I managed, under highly transparent skies, to penetrate down to magnitude 13.3 with my 16" dob (Ed Jones primary/Antares secondary/Astrosystem structure/Sky Commander DSCs). I hit virtually every DSO of consequence in the summer triangle which is still visible from my latitude and thank goodness I've got a good Lumicon 0111 filter to help me do it. As winter challenge objects, I chose NGC 7139 in Cepheus:Originally Posted by Greg Shaffer
Life is short Rod.....I prefer to see/find the humor in petty stupid people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7139
and:
IC 289 in Cassiopeia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_289
I was able, with the help of a CLS filter, to observe several winter galaxies as well without having to travel to snow covered Mt Pinos where the views would have been better but I would have frozen my butt-off to see them...

"A confidential White House review of President Trump’s decision to place a hold on military aid to Ukraine has turned up hundreds of documents that reveal extensive efforts to generate an AFTER-THE-FACT justification for the decision and a debate over whether the delay was legal, according to three people familiar with the records."
