    Wait, someone gave Boing Dogboner a platform? Ugh.

    It's worse:  It takes 5 minutes to setup a news aggregation site like Drudge.  There is absolutely nothing special about Drudge technically.  Drudge was big early on though, and had the perfect timing for some major Clinton stories.  Mong Bonjoiner doesn't have that, although he does have Trump's twitter feed.

    Pretty soon, Dong Bojackjoiner is probably going to be complaining that Google is oppressing him, because in the years since Drudge and a few other sites, Google decided that news aggregation sites were not actual news sites in and of themselves, so that when you go searching for news on Google, you don't get directed to Drudge and then click on the link on Drudge's site to whatever the story is.  Rather, Google just links you to the story outright.

    In fact, you can even be penalized by Google for such sites if you are not careful.  

    But Kong Joinbanger knows none of that, and doesn't need it, because Trump's twitter feed and the millions of bots will keep traffic flowing to his site.

    Chris Wallace basically just said 'everything trump and kellyanne were just saying is not true based on this report'.

    I'm honestly surprised that he's lasted this long.

    I know but it still sucks balls.  The relationship between our unaccountable big tech companies and our unaccountable big military is terrifying AF from a 30k feet perspective.  It is what it is. 

    Would you feel better if it was some podunk CloudsIsUs.com outfit that does a few million in business every year, that's owned by some guy who tossed trump a million or two for his inauguration?  Maybe a Prince/DeVos family friend?

    And here's the kicker: If it had been any other outfit but Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, or Oracle, they would most likely still be hosting the infrastructure on....drum roll please....Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, or Oracle (well maybe not Oracle).

    There are some things you can't get around at this scale.

    If I escaped Syria or Mogadishu in the hopes of being an American, I can't think of a worse place to go than ND. There may be a few months per year that it's bearable but screw when the average high is 20 in the winter.  Send me back my war torn home.

    If you were truly racist, and somewhat intelligent (I know, the two don't go together), you would want to relocate people from Syria or North Africa to North Dakota, because you might have quite a few die during the first winter.

    Western North Dakota is the most God-forsaken place in the US.  At least if you were in Minnesota or Alaska, or Montana, you could have nice scenery to look at, and a decent amount of snow and hills to do shit.

    And don't get me started on the Indian reservations.  Third world.

    Serious question, why would he be scared?  Regardless of evidence, nothing will happen to him.  Nada.  He has absolutely no reason to be nervous. 

    Vanity. Ego.  He does not want his financials exposed.   He has spent decades crafting his image.

    Plus, the states are coming for him once he’s out of office, and he can’t stop that.  Neither he nor Pence can pardon for the state stuff.

  6. Besides Texas, I lived in Arky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Florida as a kid, as well as a couple of years in in North Dakota, and ND was by far, the most racist of places.  The others were not even.  They loved the money my dad’s employer (oil) brought in, and while there were plenty of supposedly good folks there, the fucking racist shitheads were openly racist.  Other places we lived at, the racists would at least look over their shoulder before putting their garbage beliefs into display.  But not in ND.    That’s why I was happy to see the oil boom of the past few years, because that brought a shitload more minorities into ND, far more than we did in the ‘80s.

    That simply means, and I think most of understand that he's scared.

    Not just of impeachment, he's scared in general to have original thoughts and accept the back and forth and failure that comes with it.

    When you get past the name calling and loudest voice in the room it is really weak.

    100 mostly retweets now.   That means he’s not only scared of something, but is trying like hell to distract his followers and the media.    I’m guessing he will give one of his helicopter press conferences where he asks why we are in NATO and that people are telling him to pull out, you know, Pentagon generals right out of central casting asking him to get us out of NATO.  Or perhaps that we should do something about Iran or Venezuela.   Any 2nd- or 3rd-world countries that Trump has threatened in the past few years should be puckering up.

    Yes, it's bad. What's worse is the Secretary acting like it is a nothingburger. Hey, former Secretary Mattis, how much would it cost me to pay you to go punch this clown?

     

    In a active shooter situation in America, a normal brown person would be running their ass off to get away.  If there is an active shooter, and one or more Saudi students were standing around and filming it/watching, that means they had no fear of the shooter.  Why is that?

    I actually thought he was going to see if she was still alive. It is odd to me that they would cast her, give her only 5 minutes of showtime and a few lines, and then kill her off. 

    I think she's still alive. But so far, it seems that Nick Nolte was cast for just a few minutes of screen time, so the same could have happened with her.

    I will say this, had Favreau left the door open for Boba Fett to be in the series, it would have been hilarious if he (or somebody in his armor) showed up somehow, and Mando (or somebody) just fucking gunned him down.
