Which leak obviously came from the Dumpsters. Colbert also has a few of his own questions for the Presidunce. The time is near to lock Dump up. LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Dump's lawyers leaked the Mueller questions
Tuesday, May 1, 2018
NY Times publishes Mueller questions slated for Dump
The questions were leaked to the Times without quoting a source. They cover 4 areas on inquiry: Former NSA adviser Flynn; James Comey and his firing; Jeff Sessions and his involvement; coordination with Russia. The questions reveal that there is most likely Russian collusion and obstruction of justice. We eagerly await Dump's replies.
Hagel compares eye shadow joke to Dump's racism
Conservative snowflakes are all upset over Wolf's jokes about Huckabee-Sanders' eye shadow, yet have not a word to say about Dump's racist Hispanic implications as his recent rally. Way out of proportion hypocrisy much?
Colbert on Dump Jr. meeting with Russian spy
It's obviously collusion with Russia to subvert our election for Dump. He also comments on Chief of Staff Kelly calling Dump an idiot multiple times, another obvious observation.
Colbert on Michelle Wolf
He chastises the snowflake conservatives that can't take a joke, while also defending the free speech of comedians. He also assumes his persona from the Colbert Report to offer advice to Wolf, then ridicules Dump's cowardly escape to a rally with his deplorables.
Can tai chi chi and qigong postures shape our moods?
Subtitle: "Toward an embodied cognition framework for mind-body research," by Osypiuk et al. in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, May 1, 2018. The abstract:
"Dynamic and static body postures are a defining characteristic of mind-body practices such as Tai Chi and Qigong (TCQ). A growing body of evidence supports the hypothesis that TCQ may be beneficial for psychological health, including management and prevention of depression and anxiety. Although a variety of causal factors have been identified as potential mediators of such health benefits, physical posture, despite its visible prominence, has been largely overlooked. We hypothesize that body posture while standing and/or moving may be a key therapeutic element mediating the influence of TCQ on psychological health. In the present paper, we summarize existing experimental and observational evidence that suggests a bi-directional relationship between body posture and mental states. Drawing from embodied cognitive science, we provide a theoretical framework for further investigation into this interrelationship. We discuss the challenges involved in such an investigation and propose suggestions for future studies. Despite theoretical and practical challenges, we propose that the role of posture in mind-body exercises such as TCQ should be considered in future research."

FDA: Weedkiller found in foods
The Guardian obtained internal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) emails about glyphosate found in our food supply. The FDA study on this has yet to be released but these emails were obtained by a Freedom Of Information (FOI) request. The current Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) study concludes that "glyphosate is not
likely to be carcinogenic to humans. The Agency’s assessment found no
other meaningful risks to human health when the product is used
according to the pesticide label." Not surprisingly, the World Health Organization (WHO) maintains it does cause cancer, as does their International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
