  WASHINGTON — President Trump asked the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, to shut down the federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, in an Oval Office meeting in February, according to a memo Mr. Comey wrote shortly after the meeting.

  “I hope you can let this go,” the president told Mr. Comey, according to the memo.

  The existence of Mr. Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Mr. Trump’s associates and Russia.

  Mr. Comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after Mr. Flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo. The memo was part of a paper trail Mr. Comey created documenting what he perceived as the president’s improper efforts to influence a continuing investigation. An F.B.I. agent’s contemporaneous notes are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations.

  Mr. Comey shared the existence of the memo with senior F.B.I. officials and close associates. The New York Times has not viewed a copy of the memo, which is unclassified, but one of Mr. Comey’s associates read parts of the memo to a Times reporter.

  Old School Effects and CGI

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i was just thinking about old school effects and cgi (computer generated imagery) in film.

  first off, cgi is certainly an advancement in technology, in what can or can't be portrayed on screen.. my knowledge of films and film-making is by no means extensive.

  it's just i feel that sometimes film-makers rely too much on cgi, assume that more cgi = better film, or assume it's better to use cgi in every instance.. take a nightmare on elm street (1984).

  I think one of the biggest problems with CGI is - when it's done really well - most the time you don't know you're watching CGI.

  If your watching two robots fight while knocking over skyscrapers - sure - you're going to know it's all in the computer. But in so many movies you watch these days - not even action films - the planes, trains, and ordinary cars are often partially or entirely CGI elements. There's a great video essay on this showing off some stuff you would never have guessed was rendered in a computer. Check it out.

  The Trump Connection

  i'm a little dumb struck to see that donald trump's first cross word against russia are in support of the jws.. http://fox-news24.com/trump-warns-russia-over-jehovahs-witnesses-ban-and-urges-members-to-seek-asylum-in-the-us/.

  is this because trump genuinely values freedom of religion?

  or is it because his son in law jared kushner has financial dealings with the jws?

  I'm not sure what all the kerfuffle here is? There are two simple facts in this story though. Kushner and his partners have purchased properties from the JWs. The State Department did issue a statement denouncing the Russian JW ban.

  Thank you!

  i have little doubt articles of impeachment will be drawn up on trump within the next year or so.

  my only question at this point is what are they going to get him for?.

  collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?.

  You guys are doing exactly the same thing the Democrats accused the Tea Party of doing during Obama's 8 years.

  No. We are NOT.

  The tea party made up lies about the Obama to try and manufacture outrage from utter nonsense (200 million dollars a day to travel to China, death panels from Obama Care, a ban on all guns, etc.)

  However, the issues raised about Trump are very REAL.

  [crap removed]

  Etc.

  Let's not even pretend for a second that this complete swamp that Trump has drained straight into the White House is anything like Obama's administration.

  Jonah Letter

  dear brothers and sisters,.

  it has come to our attention that many in our ministry are encountering individuals who question the accuracy of the bible on scientific grounds.

  for example, they may ask questions such as, how does a snake talk when it has no vocal chords or mouth and lip muscles?

  Dear Brothers and Sisters,

  It has come to our attention that many in our ministry are encountering individuals who question the accuracy of the Bible on scientific grounds. For example, they may ask questions such as, how does a snake talk when it has no vocal chords or mouth and lip muscles? Or, how could the earth have have been created "in the beginning" when it wasn't formed until the heavens were 9 billion years old (or 2/3 the age of the universe)?

  These questions, on the surface, may seem to be insurmountable. However, we can have faith that Jehovah will provide us with the right words at the right time. We will now consider one such topic in depth - how did Jonah survive inside a large fish for three days and three nights?

  Right away it seems like Jonah would drown almost immediately inside the belly of a fish as there is no air. And this is certainly true. However, we know that in ancient Hebrew the words "fish" and "whale" were interchangeable. So it may well be that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. But this of course has it's own issues. For example, no whale has an esophagus large enough for a human to travel down. Also, whales have multi-chambered stomachs like cows and hippos that are full of hydrochloric acid and pepsin which would easily eat the flesh off of a human. And the only air inside a whales stomach is hydrogen so anyone trapped inside would quickly asphyxiate.

  So, is the account in the Bible of a man surviving three days and three nights inside a fish really believable? Of course it is! There are at least two historical accounts of people being trapped inside a whale. The first, or course, is the story of Jonah. And the second is the account of Geppetto - the father of Pinocchio.

  The second account may give us some insights. First, we know that Geppetto was a small Italian man - so this may explain how he was able to fit down the throat of a whale. While the Bible doesn't say anything about the stature of Jonah - it would be logical to conclude he was a midget. Next, we know that Geppetto was a carpenter. So he may have been able to fashion a raft of system of planks inside the whale to stay above the hydrochloric acid. And as Jonah was a man of antiquity, he too would surely have these skills as well. Lastly, we know that Geppetto was from Tuscany - which if famous for it's wine. So Geppetto may have been plastered drunk while in the whale and not minded that there was no oxygen to breath. And, considering that Jonah jumped off a ship right in the middle of a storm, it would be natural to conclude that he was completely wasted too.

  So there we have it - a perfectly sensible reply to anyone questioning the scientific accuracy of the Bible. We know that we can always rely on Jehovah. And don't forget to keep an eye out for our letter next week in which we will address the account of Balaam and his talking donkey with a deep scientific analysis. Titled, "How an Ass Talks" you know we are more than qualified to speak on this topic.

  Sincerely,

  The Governing Borg

  Collusion with a foreign government to subvert an election?

  Interfering with a federal investigation?

  Violation of the emoluments clause?

  Pay for play?

  Breaking the US Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act?

  Anybody care to guess how they think his presidency will turn out?

  There are few lines of work I find more despicable or cruel than "faith healers". Telling blind children you can make them see again - and then blaming them for "not having enough faith" when you can't do what you damn well know you can't do is pure evil.
