Holy cow... Threat on Capitol??

Chilling threat sent to air traffic controllers vowing revenge for killing of Iranian general is under investigation

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/threat-air-traffic-control-iranian-general-qassem-soleimani-revenge/

Multiple air traffic controllers in New York heard a chilling threat Monday in audio obtained exclusively by CBS News: "We are flying a plane into the Capitol on Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged."

The threat refers to Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed last year in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump. It was made on the one-year anniversary of Soleimani's death, for which Iranian officials have long vowed revenge.

John Dean thinks Trump is the one who recorded Georgia's Raffensperger and released the tape

Former White House counsel to Richard Nixon, John Dean, took to Twitter Sunday evening to speculate that the one behind the now-infamous extortion tape of Donald Trump may have been the president or one of his staff.

Dean noted that the audio of the recording made Trump sound the loudest and the clearest. That indicates that the person recording it is the clearer one. He also said that it sounds almost as if the others on the call are on a speakerphone, which would make sense if Trump or his staff was recording it near the president's phone.


If Trump was the one behind the call, it begs the question of whether other calls he makes are recorded. How many of them were recorded? With whom? And why they haven't been released by the president who pledged full transparency.

What can Dems do to replace some of the on the edge hourly breaking news"?

YES YES YES... For four years it's been non-stop crazy horror. Normalcy, yes!!! But listening to Dana Bash right now...snooze.

But don't think boring is normalcy. Surely there are good ideas to add some excitement to normalcy.

National lottery of some kind? Biden surprises a classroom somewhere? I got nothing.
