Boebert: “Nothing says America First like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado…I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability. Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics”

Armada 86 05 has stopped. Next up launch AUVs, in turn, and guide each to the seafloor.

Armada 86 05 is near to completing its transit to the #MH370 search area. The movie shows my putative, estimated, track to the psoition where the final AUV recovery took place on Mar 28th. The actual vessel track is slightly to south The weather forecast shows good conditions for AUV operations.

Yes, Ron, Trump is that in spades. Hard to believe that such a coniving idiot could have done all the horrible things he has, at least the ones we know about. And with his ignorance, he doesn't even know that Putin is playing him—such a tragedy for our country.

Trump sympathizes with how stressful it would be for Putin to have to stop killing people for a while because of how inconvenient it would be for him to resume it. This whole thing is a farce. A charade. Putin is playing Trump like the useful idiot that he is.

No surprise that Trump phones Putin right before he met with Zelensky. Trump had to get his orders.
