^ That news item really has "Can't Believe That" status. It's just incredible, but also scary. Especially the bit where they say, "...scientists sliced into one robot, it healed itself and kept moving". In reality, that happened on a micro-scale, but also happens a lot in Terminator 2

__________________________________________________ _____________________________________

Also hard to believe: It's official -the USA is more corrupt than the Ukraine.

Anyway, that is my take away from these bare facts:

> Cellphone records emerge indicating that US citizens linked to Trump have been involved in stalking US ambassador Yovanovitch.
> Secretary of State Pompeo says nothing to defend a member of his department, who has been accused of nothing apart from doing her job conscientiously.
> Head of DOJ, Barr, is implicated as a team member of officials who, at a minimum, turned a blind eye to the whole "get Yovanovitch" conspiracy.
> Barr says nothing, does nothing.
> Ukraine launches investigation.
> Barr and Pompeo continue in office despite their blatant dereliction of duty.
