I don't know what's on the reverse (tail) side of this Challenge coin, which has already been produced by the White House Communications Agency, which is described in this report from Jack Beauchamp at VOX as a "military detachment" that works directly for the White House.

The report starts with a close-up photo image of the heads or face side of the coin.

That's why I like VOX.
It's so......unbiased and not partisan.

And completely up to date with all of the facts.....

From the article:

"The coin itself is trivial and silly."

..and so is your post Ronald.

Trivial, stupid and pointless, just like it's author.

That, at a time when activity on this Off Topic forum has almost ebbed to nothing, compared to what it once was.

Some (I guess) would rather bring up the Off Topic front page and not see any new topics or messages. "I am just logging on here today to express my appreciation that there is nothing new to see here, since the last time that I logged in."

Yawn.

How ironically appropriate.

Morons abound. Stupid idea.

I highly recommend this brief on air segment--it's just over four minutes--where Rachel Madcow interviewed the former Director of National Intelligence or DNI, James Clapper. The (retired) USAF lieutenant general has been the nation's longest serving DNI. He was the DNI for the entire 2016 national elections cycle and during the presidential transition, serving until President Trump's first official day as President. The interview was yesterday, May 22, 2018.

James Clapper talks about a telephone call that he put through to President Trump and the conversation that they had.

James Clapper talks about the famous (or infamous) Steele Dossier.

Eat D*ck

That one (from screen name randye) is a No Brainer, in terms of how the R(Inselberg) C(ommunity) chooses to respond. The screen name randye text that I highlighted in red is so far into Eat D*ck territory that it makes the Eat D*ck essentially an automatic or pre-configured RC response.

I have no problem with any of the other message content from screen name randye that was entered into this discussion. The messages that are based on news, political or OpEd content from Reuters, Zerohedge, NewsMax... all good. No problem with any of that.

I do like to throw some "crazy" into the mix when I message here, just for effect.

Like I don't really think of myself as the R(Inselberg) C(ommunity), that's just something to dress up my message with a James Clapper-like theme or accent.

So, "crazy", but not literally crazy. I've met all the prerequisites for Pennock's Off Topic messaging access. All the prerequisites for My License To Thrill.


Now I need a new keyboard.

James Clapper has a history of lying. In fact, he was accused of perjury by Congress during the Obama Administration. Dude has been discredited.


This is funny: Typical leftist hoax jobs, which they do all the time.

Palestinians staging a martyr scene, but when your nose itches...

Typical of Democrats, Leftists and Criminals.

Wichita is welcome to his findings, and I thank him for presenting himself before this forum in a courteous and On Topic manner, without lowering himself into the "netherworld" of member-on-member defamation and vulgar personal attacks.

I am (and was already) well aware of the episode when D(irector) of N(ational) I(ntelligence) Clapper misled with a statement during a Congressional hearing, in which he did not "cop" to the N(ational) S(ecurity) A(gency) harvesting of metadata from the broad telephone and electronic (email; etc.) communications among U.S. citizens and legal U.S. residents.

These were the metadata collections that were publicly revealed by Edward Snowden.

That's ONE on Clapper's "tab".

What about President Trump? By comparison?

I guess if Wichita and myself were the only two umpires on the field (so to speak), the Play Call would have to go through the Instant Review procedure with a call to the Major League umpire Instant Review facility in New York. Unless one of us were to overrule the other by their authority as Crew Chief. And we both could not be Crew Chief.

Ronald you have absolutely no self awareness.

Not surprising though since mentally ill people like you seldom, if ever, do.

Randy, is that how you like to eat duck?

Now that you mention it, yes. We often eat duck on the deck near the dock.

Dining on duck on the deck by the dock at dusk?

Delightful!

Y'all could have missed this news that came from the White House, on Thursday evening, that there will be not just one, but two classified briefings today, about the subject that President Trump has been calling "SPYGATE".

Neither President Trump or any White House staff other than the White House Chief of Staff John Kelly will be part of these meetings.

First meeting
TEA FOR TWO

Representatives from the Department of Justice will provide a classified briefing for two Republican Congressmen, Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes, on certain aspects of the Special Counsel's investigation, including the FBI's use of informants as part of the investigation.

Second meeting
DINNER FOR EIGHT

Second verse, same as the first, except that this version of the briefing will be provided for the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, and the leading (Republican) and ranking (Democratic) members of the House and Senate Intelligence Oversight Committees--the so-called Gang of Eight.

Or maybe just the Gang of Seven, as House Speaker Paul Ryan has already communicated that he will not be available today, because of previous commitments. Does that sound like a lame excuse? Is he looking like no more than a lame duck on this issue?

But overall--looking at this from 10,000 feet--it's HUGE.

Looks like there's a bonsai tree growing out of your drumstick there, rinselberg. You really need to stop going to KFC.
