All theories are supported by a consensus. Every scientific field has a unifying theory: for biology, it is evolution; for chemistry, atomic theory; and for physics, quantum mechanics and general relativity. We could replace the word "theory" with "consensus," and the meaning would essentially be the same.

Theories can, and do, fall apart. The Earth isn't at the center of the universe. Maggots don't spontaneously generate on rotting meat.

Observations no longer made sense. Predictions weren't coming true. Hypotheses were shown to be wrong. Only a new consensus could pull it all back together again.

That's how science works. The scientific method produces consensus. But, if enough contradictory evidence arises, the consensus falls apart. Eventually, it crumbles completely and is replaced by a new consensus. That's the basis of scientific method...

I don't listen to Chuck very much but here he seems to have hit the nail on the proverbial head. The FBI is the biggest threat to Donald Trump that he's ever had. He has to destroy them or they are going to destroy him. The sad thing is how many conservatives seem determined to do his dirty work for him...

Chuck Todd has little patience for what he terms President Donald Trump‘s “smear campaign” against the FBI. But the MSNBC anchor seems to have even less patience for, as he sees it, the Republican party’s enabling of that smear campaign.

Wednesday on MTP: Daily, Todd sounded off on the GOP — or, at least, many in the GOP — for anti-FBI rhetoric.

“That kind of smear campaign against the FBI leadership and that kind of willingness to embrace the president’s conspiracy theories has gone off the rails,” Todd said. “And it has gone off the rails with the help of elected Republicans who I think we all thought should know better.”

Todd went on to note that he finds the anti-FBI chatter hypocritical, considering it seems to run counter to some longtime Republican values.

“The president is facing serious allegations that he tried to corrupt this investigation,” Todd said. “And his response to those allegations is to corrupt the entire Justice Department with help from allies in the GOP which used to call itself the law and order party.”

The MSNBC host also took on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) for standing idly by.

“You could argue that their silence is a way of being complicit in this destruction of the FBI’s credibility,” Todd said.

Now when you find a picture that you would like to keep or share, just put your cursor on the photo,

right click, a window will pop with a list asking you what do you want to do. Click on

" save as ". or " save picture as ".

A list will show asking you where to save this picture. click on desktop.

Another list will show listing all the icons on your desktop.

Click on the new folder you installed on your desktop, look down to the bottom of the monitor,

a question will be asked, do you want to install the picture here. Click on yes. or hit enter, That's it.

Now when you want to paste a picture that you have saved in your new folder and send along to 1PP,

All you need do is click on the quote reply, then click on "choose file" in the list that shows up,

you will see your new folder. Right click on it. that folder will open and you will find the pictures you

have saved. find the one you want to send, double right click on it. The screen will then return to

Right click on it. You're now done.


Now I know this seems like a lot to do, but believe me, the more you do, the easier it gets.


Hope it works for you.

1. Correct - Not OK to kill a policeman. That can get you in all kinds of deep doo-doo.
2. OK, resisting arrest. I'll run with that. Failure to stop might be a stretch. When I said 'presumably', I was presuming that he would be charged as such, not that he 'presumably' was.
3. I wouldn't exactly say he had 'weaponized' his truck. He was clearly trying to get away from the (several) police cars around him. Those police cars were crowded in and attempting to cause hm to lose control of his truck, presumably (there's that word again) to make him stop. If anyone was using a car as a weapon, it was the cops.
4. He was shot after the chase was finished. The truck was well and truly stuck in the undergrowth and wedged in by a police car. I don't care how you try to spin it, his 'truck weapon' had been well and truly neutralized at that time.

Now admit it. This was nothing more than an order from a superior officer to commit an act of cold-blooded murder. Two wrongs do not make a right, and carrying a badge does not empower you to go around killing people just because they pissed you off. This is supposed to be a constitutional republic, not a police state. Whoever killed him should be subjected to the same brand of 'justice' and see how that goes down.

Nowhere, do I read where the pickup truck ramed anything! Nowhere, do I read the pickup was at any time speeding! The guy was executed for simply not stopping in a timely manner. If that meats your level of reasoning for killing someone, I hope you aren't wearing a badge and dealing with the public. If you are, I hope I never have the misfortune of being pulled over by you. No telling what might cause you to deem I'm brandishing a weapon (perhaps the ballpoint in my shirt pocket) and shoot me. By-the-way, The pickup was ramed by patrol cars in an attempt to stop it.
