It’s Wednesday.

Happy Halloween Eve!

My shout-out to nurses everywhere.

It’s Day 36 of the Impeachment Inquiry.

So far for day 36 the President has tweeted 9 times and retweeted 3 times.

His 3rd and 5th tweet of the day.

CNN Business reported on Wednesday that according to the Commerce Department, the U.S. economy grew at “an annualized rate of 1.9 percent in the 3rd quarter.

CNBC News reported that economist polled by Dow Jones, had excepted the “the first look at third-quarter economic growth to come in at 1.6%.”

According to the article the “better-than-expected data,” resulted from what the Commerce Department explained was the continued consumer spending as well as the government expenditures.

There is always a tweet. May, 31st, 2012.

The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will be holding a press conference at 2:30 p.m. eastern time, to discuss any monetary changes resulting from their two day meeting. The general outlook is that Powell will announce another interest rate cut.

Sandman =’s Sandmann

The Washington Post reported on Monday that a federal judge “reinstated part of a lawsuit against The Washington Post filed by the family of a Kentucky teenager that alleged the newspaper libeled the teen in its coverage of his encounter with a Native American activist at the Lincoln Memorial earlier this year.”

Judge William Bertlesman, the Judge who rejected the suit in July on “First Amendment grounds, said Monday he would allow it to go forward, but narrowed its scope from 33 published statement to three.”

The Impeachment Inquiry tweets.

“infair” =’s unfair.

The New York Times on Tuesday night reported that according to people familiar with the testimony of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council told House impeachment investigators that the memo of the call between President Trump and President Zelensky of the Ukraine omitted crucial words.

According to the article Vindman had attempted to include the omitted words but those attempts failed.

From the article:

Colonel Vindman, who appeared on Capitol Hill wearing his dark blue Army dress uniform and military medals, told House impeachment investigators that he tried to change the reconstructed transcript made by the White House staff to reflect the omissions. But while some of his edits appeared to have been successful, he said, those two corrections were not made.

Colonel Vindman did not testify to a motive behind the White House editing process. But his testimony is likely to drive investigators to ask further questions about how officials handled the call, including changes to the transcript and the decision to put it into the White House’s most classified computer system — and whether those moves were meant to conceal the conversation’s most controversial aspects.

The New York Times.

The article goes on to explain that the missing phrases do not change the lawmakers understanding of the call, but “Colonel Vindman’s account offered a hint to solving a mystery surrounding the conversation: what Mr. Trump’s aides left out of the transcript in places where ellipses indicated dropped words.”

The President on Tuesday as the News Blender reported begged followers and Twitter uses alike to read the “transcript,” I noted in the linked article, that the public released document is called a memorandum, I neglected to included this “caution” warning from the memorandum.

Trump/Zelensky Memorandum.

The first line of the image taken from the link says: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion.

I decided to separate the three tweets that quote Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

The quotes came from Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who was speaking on the Senate floor. His statement comes at the 6:23 minute mark @ C-SPAN.org.

“Precisely the same program that the Democrats are trying to Impeach President Trump for supposedly slow walking, tomorrow, right here in the Senate, they (the Dems) say they’re going to filibuster for the exact same program.”

McConnell is attempting to make equal the President’s attempt to hold funding for Ukraine until Ukraine promised to investigate his political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden the same as the Democrats threatening to filibuster a funding bill which would also fund Ukraine.

The rest of the quotes are regarding the a funding bill deadline that is looming.

You can find the rest of McConnell’s statements at the link.

This post will be updated within reason.

This is an Open Thread.

I just wanted to add this at the bottom of the thread. Please everyone in CA near or around the fires be safe. Listen to the warnings.
