    Lol -- Nunes accusing the Dems of extortion and bribery. 

    Not attacking the testimony of the dozen+ witnesses, instead attacking the Dems.

    Good thing Nunes isn't a lawyer, he'd get his clients sent to prison.

    Based on his academic background, he would have been an aggy had he been born in Texas.

    As Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan prepares for Wednesday's White House meeting with President Donald Trump, he's threatening to further inflame tensions between Washington and Ankara by purchasing Russian military fighter jets, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.

    Discussions about Turkey purchasing the fighter jets were advanced during a meeting between Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin two weeks ago in Sochi, these people said. The Trump administration banned the sale of U.S.-made F-35 jets to Turkey in response to Erdogan’s purchase of a Russian missile defense system.

    I never read any EU books but has there been any mention of the material the Mandalorians use for their armor?  With the ingot being such a big deal and the mention of Mando's armor in the beginning bar scene I'm assuming this is comparable to valyrian steel, hard to get and tuff as shit.

    From some SW blogs/sites, a lot of them feel this is adhering to official canon, so I'm guessing the armor came up in either the Rebels or Clone Wars animated series.

  4. Not spoiling this because of discussion above, but also, this is the background scene mentioning Boba earlier.

    I did not think Jango or Boba were actual Mandalorians, and just had the armor, but looking at SW fancies is far too headache-inducing.

    It does have the blaster dent that Boba's had, but this could be just Filoni fucking with us.

    Another angle, spoiler for big.

  5. So...thoughts on

    Spoiler

    Who was spending so much money on that compound, both keeping it hidden, and keeping it stocked with mercenaries to protect baby Yoda for over 50 years?  The fact that so many people had been killed trying to get to the baby Yoda means there is a really big story going on.  And who is protecting it over all these years - are they protecting the baby, or what it represents?  It feels like somebody that Lor San Takka would protect.

    Who wants it dead, who wants it alive?

    What was the role of the young scientist, and why did he want the baby Yoda?  Was he trying to resurrect the emperor or something using baby's blood?  Or was this protecting a weak emperor from a potential rival?

    Herzog's character is old enough to have been through the Clone Wars, he probably remembers Yoda.

    I'm guessing this all ties into The Rise of Skywalker or whatever.

    Speaking of the scientist
