1. I have trouble believing it, but as someone who got the presidential daily briefing for more than 7 years the idea that a POTUS wouldn’t be briefed on a Russian bounty on US troops is even more alarming.

“Enbridge has completed an engineering analysis of the forces applied to the anchor support, and an evaluation of the entire east pipeline for any potential damage,” said a statement on the company’s website. “ROV inspections of the remainder of the east leg have confirmed no damage to the remaining screw anchors and the pipeline itself.” ~Source

 

With respect to the east leg, Enbridge has completed an engineering analysis of the forces applied to the anchor support, and an evaluation of the entire east pipeline for any potential damage. ROV inspections of the remainder of the east leg have confirmed no damage to the remaining screw anchors and the pipeline itself. To assure transparency and efficiency, we have provided this assessment and an assessment of the west leg to both PHMSA and the State of Michigan. We will continue to provide the State all the information we provide to PHMSA on this matter. ~Enbridge state on Line 5

“I get that some folks are mad at me now, but when they look back, they’ll just be mad at themselves,” Borges told cleveland.com. “The Party, and the people in it, are too good to have their standard bearer be Trump, who is so bad.” ~Source

 

“We’re not trying to become Democrats,” Borges told Axios. “I intend to vote for every other Republican on the ballot. And I expect that there are others like me who aren’t looking to leave the party.” ~Source

We’re in a pandemic—and yet Republicans & the Trump Admin are still trying to end protections for preexisting conditions & raise costs for prescription drugs.
