Apparently since I am retired I have way too much time on my hands. I watched this till 2:33 PM. But I'll say this.. I don't give a damn about Cohn or Trump (they're both sleazebags). What I care about is what information Cohn can provide through documentation. That's more then I can say about this partisan shit show. One thing I learned-- my nature makes me incapable of dealing with this kind of stuff. It exhaust me.
As far as I'm concerned government has little to do with what goes on in peoples daily lives. Not just this government but all governments throughout history do not represent the hearts and souls of people who find themselves born under them.
In other words-- mostly every person who has ever lived has had more in common with each other then any government which ever existed. Ours is no exception.

So Many Fires- A Better Way To Build
We need to start thinking outside the box. Why can't we build homes out of concrete from top (including the roof) to bottom?
Bury the electric and plumbing in conduits within the walls. Same with the heating ducts or radiator water. This doesn't mean there wouldn't still be fires but it seems to me it would be a lot cheaper and easier to empty out room debris, hose down the walls rather then having to rebuild. I imagine the insurance costs would be less too. I thought about this when we stayed at various motels in Wildwood Crest. I can't recall ever hearing about a fire in one of them. Besides, look how long some of the ancient structures still survive.
Why shouldn't this be required for all new construction?

A Few News Items I Found Interesting
Democrats Seeking Trump's Tax Returns
Not Pelosi's
'CNS News'-- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) “will gladly release her tax returns if and when she runs for president,” said her Chief of Staff Drew Hammill
Wondering Why My Cable Costs So Much?
Oscars Cost ABC North of $85 Million Annually
'Deadline'-- Oscars Ratings Drop Sees ABC Offering Advertisers Guarantees For First Time
If You Didn't Like Hillary's 'Uranium One' Deal,
Wait Till You Hear This.

Laura Ingraham Says...
Coast Guard Terrorist Is 'Distraction' From Smollett
I Say, Smollett is a distraction from the Cost Guard terrorist. Face it Smollett didn't plan on killing anybody.
Laura Branigan Not Taking New Bookings.
Why Not?.
FOX News-- The 1982 hit song “Gloria” has found new life as a postgame victory ballad for the NHL's St. Louis Blues, but newer fans of the platinum hit don’t seem to realize that the singer who made it famous died in 2004 -- and keep trying to book her for gigs, according to reports.
Sean Hannity Contradicts Himself.
"Mainstream"
The ideas, attitudes, or activities that are regarded as normal or conventional...
By it's very definition they can be neither radical nor extreme. Furthermore FOX News claims they're number #1. Wouldn't that make them more mainstream then their competitors?

Journalists are sharing stories about where I live the same day it’s shared that myself + others were targeted by a mass shooter.

All this paired w/ amplifying unvetted conspiracy theories. It’s reckless, irresponsible & puts people directly in danger.
This isn’t a game. https://t.co/gcJWcKinxI

It happened Once.
Can it happen again?
HUMOR The Traffic Cop. The Husband. The Wife.
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, " I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir."The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control."
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?"
The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did."
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Damit, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?"
The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine." The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket."
The wife says, "Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving."
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP!"
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?"
Only when he's been drinking."
