Pompeo says it’s Russia, Trump not so much

Not one response to this thread from any of the MAGA nuts on here. 
You could just imagine what it would be like if Obama had acted in a similar manner. Republican investigations up the kazoo, daily barrages from the likes of Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham and Pirro and the rest of the right wing "hero' squad. Freaking hypocrites...

How true, just like they ignore Covid stats. Here's where their attention is focused:

Fox News Finally Gets It...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"If President Trump tunes into Fox News this weekend, he may see something unexpected: a point-by-point fact-check to wild election fraud claims made by some of his favorite hosts on the network."
"After voting technology company Smartmatic sent Fox News a blistering legal threat that accused the network of participating in a "disinformation campaign" against it, the network has started airing a remarkable news package debunking claims its hosts and guests have propagated.
The package aired for the first time Friday night on Lou Dobbs' show. Fox News said the same package would air Saturday night on Jeanine Pirro's program as well as Sunday morning on Maria Bartiromo's show. All three hosts, who use their platforms to air pro-Trump propaganda, are close with the President."

Fox News Poll: "Trump A Historically Bad President"

42% of voters say history will remember President Donald Trump as one of the worst presidents ever.  An additional 8% say he will be remembered as below average, while 22% say one of the greatest, 16% say above average and 10% say below average.


So then here's the simple question.  

Did 10% say he was below average or 8% say he was below average?
If you don't care then why comment about it?
The link to the poll is in the article, review and answer your own question!

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the big day.  The closest Saturn/Jupiter conjunction in several centuries.  I am stoked to see something in the night sky that has never been seen before by any living man.  Pretty cool.

Here is a rough draft - taken an hour ago, no processing.  I think I need to cut the exposure time down a hair because of elongation, although this is only at 1 second.  Taken through my small refractor with a Cannon DSLR.   No tracking.

Cool! I saw them with binoculars this evening but they're very low in the horizon and I'll take out my 16" on Monday and try to pick them up in twilight before they drop behind a ridge. I've got a couple of masked neighbors coming over to see them, too.

That's great, Jim. Same here for the seeing. I tracked them for the better part of an hour before they set behind a ridge near my home. Had several neighbors wowing over the views...
