[The Miami bridge collapse embarrasses me as an engineer – such screw-ups are supposed to occur only in third world countries.  And then we find that this was a 'shovel ready' project from the past, designed by the nearby university, that took five years of bureaucratic buffeting before being awarded to a problem-plagued construction firm.  And it turns out that the Left did another number on CIA's Deputy Director Haspel nominated by Trump to be the new CIA head.  They lied about her involvement in past waterboardings by the agency, which even if true, is to me and mine no reason to doubt her ability to lead that organization.  gjr]

    The bridge builder is known for cutting corners. So say the reports.
    It was supposed to be held up by a center pole with cables. Not even installed yet. Was the concrete too green to take that “empty” load?
    Even the tension cables snapped internally.( looking at the pics I can find)
    The Frisco bay bridge is just as questionable. ( started falling apart before it even opened.)

    the grease boy Trumplet is being dumped by his wife and she’s hiring a CRIMINAL lawyer to represent her. Big happy family. Melania is next after 60 Minutes airs Trumps porn star girlfriends blow by blow of their sex life. HMMM
    “Donald Trump Jr.’s wife Vanessa has hired a criminal defense attorney to represent her in divorce proceedings.
    According to paperwork filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, she has hired White Plains-based lawyer David Feureisen after the couple filed for divorce, reported the New York Post.
    The move came the same day news reports revealed special counsel Robert Mueller had subpoenaed business records related to Russia dealings from Trump Organization, which Trump Jr. is overseeing while his father serves as president of the United States.
    “Feureisen is best known for securing the release of a New York man named Anthony DiSimone from federal prison in 2007 after a judge overturned a murder conviction related to a bar fight in 1994,” the Post reported.

    This is a lesson all the fakenewsmen should take to heart. I know of at least one who wont get it.
    NEW YORK (AP) — The news organization ProPublica issued a detailed correction of a story about Gina Haspel, President Donald Trump’s choice for the next CIA director, and the waterboarding of a detainee the year after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
    It wasn’t alone: Other organizations, including The Associated Press, have issued their own corrections this week, illustrating the murkiness of reporting on the behavior of official actions by public servants whose work, by its very nature, remains in the shadows.
    The retraction and apology on Thursday by ProPublica, an organization of independent investigative journalists founded in 2007, was unusual in the amount of detail it offered about its reporting process. ProPublica concluded it was wrong last year in reporting that Gina Haspel was chief of a secret CIA “black site” in Thailand where suspected al-Qaida detainee Abu Zubaydah was interrogated with waterboarding, a measure that some regard as torture. That claim became relevant again this week with Trump’s proposed promotion of the longtime CIA official.
    ProPublica also apologized for incorrectly saying that Haspel mocked Zubaydah’s suffering. The organization said it is now clear that Haspel was not in charge of the base until after Zubaydah’s interrogation was finished.

    U.S. Capitol Police have arrested a male Democratic operative for assaulting a female Interior Department communications official following a House budget hearing Thursday.
    The assault happened after Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke finished testifying on the department’s 2019 budget proposal before the House Committee on Natural Resources. The suspect identified himself as a reporter with American Bridge and pushed a female Interior Department communications official to the floor, chasing after Zinke, The Daily Caller News Foundation learned.
    Interior communications director Laura Rigas was “greatly alarmed and extremely irate that a female senior member of my DOI Communications team was physically assaulted today by a Democrat staffer from the PAC American Bridge,” she told Politico.

    Compared to other things you’ve called me Todd that’s a compliment. The Republicans are the ones that made such a big deal about Clinton’s sleezy ways but not a peep about Trump who was banging a porn star four months after his wife gave birth to their son.
    If you recall Todd “Character” was a big issue in ’92 with Bush questioning Clintons character. I guess that’s not important to Republicans anymore.
    BUSH: “Well, in the first place, I believe that character is a part of being President. I think you have to look at it. I think that has to be a part of — of a candidate for President, or being President. “
