Morning Coffee - Absence of Malice, Olly olly oxen free

*May 9, 1980
In Florida, Liberian freighter MV Summit Venture collides with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay during a heavy rainstorm, making a 1,400-ft. section of the southbound span collapse. 35 people in six cars and a Greyhound bus fall 150 ft. into the water and die.

Only one person survived the fall: Wesley MacIntire, 56. The Gulfport man’s blue Ford Courier pickup truck fell onto the ship before it entered the water, allowing him to escape his vehicle and swim to the surface.

The youngest victim was 7-month old Manesha McGarrah, who died with her mother Wanda McGarrah, 24. They both got on the bus in Tallahassee.

The oldest was Gerda Hedquist, 92, of Charlotte Harbor.

Fifty-one percent of the vote doesn't 'allow' any politician to abrogate constitution rights of citizens. However, lamp posts are still for fascists.

All these clowns do is LIE! Crap media (and Jimmy Kimmel) BUSTED for pushing fake  story about Mike Pence delivering empty PPE boxes.
"Look at all the people who liked it.

105k.

And it’s fake."
TDS is a heck of a drug. Effe you, Kimmel.

Update: Twitter (twitter!) flags video as FAKE.

Obama Defense Official Evelyn Farkas Admitted She Lied On MSNBC About Having  Evidence Of Collusion
"I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama  administration] people who left…[that] it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy,”  Farkas said." - Evelyn Farkas, March 2, 2017 on MSNBC
“Why don’t we go back to that sentence that I just asked you about. It says ‘the  Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about their staff dealing  with Russians,” Gowdy said. “Well, how would you know what the U.S. government knew  at that point? You didn’t work for it, did you?”

“I didn’t,” said Farkas, a former mid-level Russia analyst who left the federal  government in 2015.

“Then how did you know?” Gowdy responded.

“I didn’t know anything,” Farkas said."
Yet this garbage witch went on network TV to lie about it anyways. Effe you.



Former DNI James Clapper says : "I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting/ conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election." -- in transcript of interview with House Intel during its (2017) Russia probe.

History will demand Obama ran a criminal enterprise from the White House - not an  administration.
