Okay~
"Now entering the center ring, in their clown car, let's hear it for the mac and Dean show! And if you kids are real nice they will recite their famous Treason Cheer that they are so famous for!!!" |
Poor all bastard....every day they get him all worked up with their silly headlines......Trump Russia...goose-egg!!!!!!
Only fooling the fools....aka liberals |
Aaahhh, did you mean "Poor old bastard..."? Glass houses kiter boy. |
Have you tried kiting yet old nerd? You're probably a pussy and afraid you will get hurt. Best thing I ever did was switch to kiting, I don't usually talk about it, but it blows WS away... |
I have tried it...and I have purchased gear. Still learning, but, i can't imagine anything will ever replace 3.2 and 3.7 days on my 66 liter board in big swell. My biggest sail is a 4.7 and I have a 20 mph minimum threshold for windsurfing, so kiting will be my low wind activity. My fiends who never really mastered wndsurfing love kiting. They also tell me they don't get the same workout from kiting like they do from windsurfing  Good for the geriatric crowd, and those with FM issues. |
It's all about what you put into it I guess. I kitesurf waves and learning to do strapless jumps and push tacks off waves. Pretty tough things to learn and I probably wipe out 50 times a day. So, I wouldn't say kiting is necessarily easier.
I hang out at Rufus when I am visiting the Gorge and will kite half the day and windsurf half the day. The kiting is easier on my back and joints so I can have a longer day on the water. Strapless gives my legs a workout windsurfing doesn't because my arms wear out riding unhooked to get the same sort of ride.
Perfect complimentary sport especially on high wind days. No one can tell me that kiting a 6 m day at Rufus is easy! |

This year I was focused on mastering strapless riding, I have an Ocean Rodeo Duke and just picked up a Shinnster to play with in the small surf and shallows on light wind days..
Being able to ride in the shallows with a skim board or TT is another game changer for me over WS...We have lots of flat water spots that are not accessible to WSers at low tide...
Have you bought a dedicated wave kite?, I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a Ocean Rodeo Roam.. |

I'm probably going to purchase a 9 m this year to replace an aging Rebel. Not sure if I will go dedicated wave kite. It would be nice to get something that drifts better than a Rebel which suck at that.
I skim board in Padre. It's a whole different game. Usually, I ride a custom North Pacific. Heavy but such a smooth ride and it doesn't blow away as quickly when jumping and messing up and you can spin it around for fin first riding.
Matty. The other day there was a guy off LaVentana pulling double back flips strapless and riding doing a one arm hand stand. Of course that's "easy" as the armchair crowd will tell you. |

I have been kiting for 6 years and have solid skills but have tons to learn and will most likely never master or even try many moves. I now fly Ocean Rodeo Prodigy's , fantastic all around kite and decent in the waves....Highly recommend. |

thats why he wrote down notes for the really important stuff, to get it accurate daaaaaaaaaaaaaa
wow the right wingers are still investigating Clinton. He said they spend much time about emails and servers.

Now trump and his kids and others of the present whitehouse it would be hard for them to claim it was not willful when they all said lock her up on the campaign. thye wilfully violated the law using a private server doing government business. Lock the trumps up... lock um all up. where is the 7 year investigation on trumps et al emails on a server. where are the right wing hearings...

The many modes of mendacity inside the Trump circle would be amusing if the team were not in possession of the nuclear launch codes. Allowing any of these people to give sworn testimony is like handing a fork to a toddler and pointing her toward an electrical outlet. Foreign policy advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, campaign operative Rick Gates, attorney Michael Cohen, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, international go-between Alex van der Zwaan, Russian fixer Konstantin Kilimnik: The list is so long, it feels like an Oscars speech. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is now in double-dutch because prosecutors say he lied when he promised to stop lying.
On the other hand, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III lavished praise on Flynn in a recent sentencing memo simply for telling the whole truth and nothing but. Exactly what truths Flynn told remains hidden behind heavy redactions, but it’s a good bet at least some of them involve more lies by more Trumpians.
Whatever he said (we’ll likely learn the details via future indictments), Flynn’s candor earned him a Get Out of Jail Free card. Cohen was not so lucky last week.
Trump’s longtime lawyer, intimidator, message-bearer and mop-up man, Cohen has allegedly tried to find a middle ground between lying and honesty. He has apparently come clean about conspiring with “Individual-1,” the pseudonym with a tsunami comb-over, to violate campaign finance laws while buying the silence of alleged paramours. But the federal prosecutors in New York’s Southern District require the full monty: a clean breast of all crimes ever committed, abetted or witnessed. Cohen declined to be so forthcoming. (Where to begin?)
So the team in Manhattan urged the sentencing judge to throw the book at Cohen, and since they have him dead to rights on tax evasion, it’s a pretty heavy book. Looking at four years or more in prison, along with $500,000 in restitution and an unknown hefty fine, Cohen might be reconsidering his reticence over the weekend.
Back before his White House gig, Donald J. Trump used to play a discerning judge of competence and skill on a television show called “The Apprentice.” Looking at Cohen, one must conclude that this was an act worthy of Sir Laurence Olivier. There are probably lawyers tending bar or delivering Postmates in Manhattan who would make better executive vice presidents than the unfortunate Cohen.
According to the sentencing memo, Cohen was pulling down a modest income, by big-city legal standards, while running a side business in buying and leasing taxi medallions. Then one day, the board of directors at his condo decided they’d like to remove the name TRUMP from their building, and Cohen organized a successful resistance to oust the board and preserve the name.
Charmed, Trump hired Cohen and began paying him $500,000 per year — seven times what he was making before.
Maybe you’re thinking, what was this formerly low-paid lawyer doing for Trump that was worth half a mil? If so, you might have a future as an assistant U.S. attorney in New York. That is undoubtedly one of the lines of inquiry the feds tried to pursue with Cohen, only to be stonewalled. By all appearances, the witness spoke openly about the byzantine financial workings of his own tax-dodging taxi license business yet clammed up when the topic turned to his career inside the Trump Organization.
In his own sentencing memo, Mueller did note Cohen’s useful help with “certain discrete Russia-related matters” — during Trump’s political career but not, it seems, before. Yet all the lying on Team Trump points in the same direction, and if you head that way you’ll find yourself in Russia or Ukraine. Cohen lied about the extent of his efforts to strike a deal with Moscow to build a Trump-branded luxury tower near the Kremlin. (A contemplated pot-sweetener was to be the gift of a penthouse worth $50 million to one Vladimir Putin.) Manafort lied about his connections and conversations with suspect characters in Moscow and Kiev. Flynn’s lie involved the Russian ambassador. Right down the list, it’s Russia, Russia, Russia.
Meanwhile, Trump’s private business has been dependent on Russian money for decades — including some very dirty money indeed. As early as 1984, Trump personally attended the closing on the sale of five luxury condos in one of his buildings to a member of the Russian mafia. In 2013, police broke up an illegal high-stakes gambling ring run by Russian mobsters out of condos in Trump Tower. A condo just below Trump’s home in the Tower was allegedly the headquarters of a Russian money-laundering operation. In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. told potential investors in Moscow that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” while his brother Eric has been quoted by a reporter as saying in 2014 that “we have all the funding we need out of Russia.”
Oh, what a tangled web. |
As I have been saying since this first surfaced, Trump, or at least his minions with Trump's acquiesence, promised Putin relief from sanctions in exchange for help in winning the election. The sanctions are established by the Magnitsky Act, passed by a bi-partisan majority. As Tillerson pointed out, apparently repeatedly until he was fired, Trump doesn't have the authority to abrogate the Act. Trump had hired Tillerson, knowing that the Magnitsky Act had blocked Exxon plans for a big expansion in Russia. Tillerson was wiling to go to the Hill and try to get the Act changed--but Trump refuses to actually operate--in any manner--under any legal restraint.
If the GOP cared about the country, they would impeach him now.
The three stooges and the rest of team treason will hang in there to the end. |
