> [@SteveG1](#): > > Anne Coulter is suggesting we all do something… and I LIKE it. She is saying we should all, every one of us, mail Paul Ryan a brick for that precious wall 😃 Cool. I’ve been wanting to send someone my leftover Legos ™ “for the wall” for awhile, now, but couldn’t decide who to send them to. Would Ryan really be the best recipient? A brick costs more to mail and shows more respect for the wall than a handful of Legos would. Just a thought. ---

> [@SteveG1](#): > > Exactly. I was in the Army Security Agency (ASA). We took this very seriously. We were also made well aware that if we messed up we would face charges and go to Leavenworth prison for a LONG time. I was a repairman, and didn’t’ normally handle classified data except for burn detail (under armed guard), but I still took the security training. What Trump did would have been called espionage and treason if we did it. I too was a Lightning Fast Chicken Plucker. As a 23 year old E-3 I had this hammered into my head by a sergeant in Texas - even a general can’t get it across to DJT? ---

> [@psychobunny](#): > > This should get good. We should have expected Comey to keep a memo detailing every meeting with the President. Whatever I think about his actions, he really seems to be a by-the-book guy and apparently FBI agents document EVERYTHING. It’s one thing for a President to “inadvertently” compromise National Security because he is an idiot; it’s another entirely to deliberately try to obstruct justice. This is why I laughed when I heard the news about Comey’s firing. Trump fired the guy who knows where all the bodies are buried and now Comey’s coming with a backhoe to unearth them. 😃 ---

Other reports are saying it was Turkish security personnel attacking Kurdish protestors on Embassy Row in DC. Translating the lead line from Turkish “#Erdoğan got in a fight in the guards” ---

> [@amarinth](#): > > Are there really such things as “leftover Legos”? Aren’t they just Legos that are exploring your options? > Still - I like the idea. Some may be. Mine are leftover from a kit that could produce two versions of the garbage truck from The Lego Movie. I don’t want to make the flying version, so all the tiny bricks that only apply to the flying version are left over. I’ve also seen families who have multiple children, and by the time the youngest is in third grade, there are only five to ten big, toddler Legos to be found. They haven’t been thrown out, yet, but there’s not much you can do with them. Any future Legos that the family buys will be regular-sized. They might as well help build the wall. So, should they go to Ryan, or to someone in the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection? They were the guys stuck with asking for proposals for prototypes. ---
