It came out months ago that this lawyer allegedly falsified something. People who aren't serious will use that as a justification to tar the whole Russia investigation, and serious people will obviously dismiss them.


Yeah, he only falsified the documents that led to the FISA warrants...

A former FBI lawyer will plead guilty to falsifying a document as part of a federal probe into the origins of an investigation into possible contacts between Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia, an attorney for the former FBI lawyer said on Friday.



Wow, no slack on the "cut 'em some slack" rock, eh?
It's just the tip of the iceberg and you know it.

I guess the pandemic and the riots and the normal Dem/left crap aren't enough? You gonna castrate Trump for taking too long to ferret out all the Dem/left crap... too? :D

The Trump administration has proposed a spending increase of about 30% in the 2021 nondefense budget for artificial intelligence and quantum information science.

The proposal, released Friday, coincides with competitive pressure from China and other countries that are investing in these emerging technologies.

The proposal includes funding to develop AI research institutes, formed by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Agriculture and other agencies, the administration said. It also includes $25 million in funding for the Energy Department to build an early-stage quantum internet, which uses the principles of quantum mechanics to more securely transmit data.

That's pretty cool.

The reason we're falling behind in technology isn't because of taxes. It's because we seriously slowed down public investment. All the great things that made us an innovator came from big investments in the 50's 60's and ending in the 70's. If we want to stay a science powerhouse we need to take our science budget, including things like NASA, and multiply it by 10. Hell, the military can't recruit qualified computer scientists because industry is so comparatively lucrative. Who's gonna do a Ph.D in computer science to make 120k when they can make that with a bachelors after 5 years and not sacrifice their income during? Meanwhile China is seriously pumping money into every new industry from solar panels to supercomputing.

much rather our tax dollars go to this. this and the push towards ramping up 5g and setting the stage for 6g and replenishing our strategic oil reserve supply when prices tanked earlier in the year that area much better expenditures than the usual crap we waste money on.
Trump might be the only President who does this until the younger generation takes over, because old guard swamp demons like Biden's handlers will immediately pour resources back into the same bullshit that got us behind the curve on cutting edge developments.

So the equipment reduction was planned in May. And the statement about not being able to handle a surge in mail-in ballots was drafted before LaJoy was even appointed, since it is an obvious foreseeable failure.

so whats the accusation in all this? That Trump wont support a bailout for the USPS's pre-existing condition of "pay pensions up front"?

They removed all the BLUE street side mailboxes, about 10 years ago, in the Pittsburgh area.
So, I don't really understand what the big deal is... now.

This was planned a long, long time ago.
