  1. The feds are not cooperating/blocking Minnesota's investigation because they know it's indefensible, full stop. wrong thread
  2. Because it's a liberal state, Tim Walz, etc. and because in larger cities, some shit could go down.
  3. I'm not unfriending people - I'm challenging them, but only a bit - overwhelm them and they shut down and run off/unfriend you/whatever. I'm not talking about the victim with them (you won't change their minds if they've made them up about her). I'm pushing back in two ways - one, I've told multiple people that Trump said the agent was run over and in the hospital, and I've provided links showing that he wasn't run over and that he was walking around for a long time after, giving orders, talking to other agents, etc. and I'm simply asking "Either Donald Trump lied or somebody lied to Donald Trump, why do you think this lie is being pushed on national TV when the videos show otherwise?" The other thing that I'm quietly pushing is that for most of the 90s and 2000s, Rush Limbaugh warned about the liberals turning us into a Big Government "papers please" police state where federal agents can just randomly stop and ask people to prove who they were, and here we are where federal agents are randomly stopping people across the US, going into public spaces, and doing the "papers please" thing all the while masked up so you can't ID them, etc., I ask these people if they are okay with what Rush Limbaugh warned about, since it turned out to not be the liberals pushing this, but Republicans. Am I changing minds? By keeping it simple and focused on a single point or two, I am talking to them about it. If I were to bust out everything that is happening around this, the whole big picture of why this is happening, that we are distracted from Epstein and various other things, that there is definitely a white-supremacist angle (and if you bring that up with a white relative, they feel like you are accusing them of being white supremacists so that conversation ends/devolves), these people are going to get you lost in the details. But if you zero in on a few small things that are hard to deny - the cop was not run over, Trump claimed he was, and that we have federal agents across the US in a "papers please" Big Government capacity, you can engage them and at least make them uncomfortable.
  4. WarMonitor3 has a lot of good stuff, but he also jumps the gun quite a bit, and he likes to post things without sources (although this maybe an actual NOTAMS). I would be worried that the US is about to bomb Iran and fuck up the protests.
  5. There are 8 Republican Senators who are already publicly saying not to fuck with Greenland/Denmark, and there may be a vote soon. That will be an easier sell than the vote over Venezuela, which I'm actually surprised - that there are Republicans who are willing to rebuke him.
  6. I take it as a sign that they are scared their base might watch the videos and that they will lose the midterms. They are trying to control the narrative hard - flat out lying that the officer was run over, etc. and they are desperate.
  7. Was headed to a Russian port to pick up a load of oil. Hopefully we see a lot more of this. The Turkish outlet Ortadoğu reports that on January 7, a drone attacked the oil tanker ELBUS near the coast of Turkey in the Black Sea. The vessel was heading to the Russian port of Novorossiysk, where it was supposed to load oil. The ELBUS tanker, sailing under the flag of Palau, was located approximately 30 miles off the coast of the Abana district in Turkey’s Kastamonu Province. https://ortadogugazetesi.com/gundem/kastamonu-aciklarinda-dron-saldirisi-elbus-tankeri-hedef-oldu/347527
  8. NSIAP - from a few days ago, in regard to the mask thing - if they are being filmed, they put their masks on. They are ashamed.
  9. From a few days ago, about the mask thing. If they are being filmed, they put their masks on.
  10. This has been posted, not sure when it happened, but it is big that people are doing this - they clearly aren't afraid of the regime or security forces any more. But holy shit is it hard to get verifiable stuff out of Iran.
  11. No, that will make them even more skittish and prone to shooting first and not asking questions later. They need to have their names and faces plastered across social media and the air waves is what they need, in other words, accountability. Your typical big city beat cop doesn't get to walk around hiding his identity like that.
  12. U.S. Vice President JD Vance participated in an interview recently with Fox News commentator Jesse Watters, discussing several topics, including the recent military operation in Venezuela: Watters: “Taking out a dictator in Venezuela, how does that help the average American?” Vance: “First of all, what it means is we're going to be able to control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela, which is good for America in a few ways. Number one, it allows us to put leverage on our enemies. Number two, it makes sure that if Americans need high quality, low cost power, we're always going to have access to it. And then the third thing is it does demonstrate American military excellence, which makes people afraid to cross us in the future. Some of the best ways that you maintain the peace is to make it clear that you carry a very strong sword if you ever need to use it.” He's not even hiding that it's about the oil and not the drugs.

  14. Eight Republican Senators have now publicly come out against recent hostile statements by the White House towards Denmark as well as any kind of military action against Greenland, including Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Sen. John N. Kennedy of Louisiana, Sen. John Curtis of Utah, and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Tillis slams White House adviser Stephen Miller’s comments on Greenland: 'Amateurish'
  15. That made me cringe a tiny bit, remembering how I was as a kid on trampolines.
  16. I'm honestly shocked that Texas hasn't gone all in on the casinos and Abbott and Co. just watch that money flowing to New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. It's crazy that players might play for 3 different schools before they leave for the NFL.
  17. So from what I've seen, there is no real opposition inside of Iran - it's like Russia, all the serious ones are dead/locked up. He's somebody that I actually think support could coalesce around in the short term, simply because the people know they could easily replace him (and he knows it) and he seems responsive to the people (he's not going to have a powerbase/security apparatus that can protect him if shit goes sideways and the people get pissed). I think there's a better than decent chance this may succeed - because the protests are so widespread and decentralized, there's no central/single pillar of opposition that the regime can target, especially when they lose whole towns. In the past, it was over headwear or other things where you could point to a single group that were driving the narrative, and if you take the wind out of their sails, most of the bandwagon protestors would go home. Now it's everybody suffering.
  18. Cuba, Nicaragua, and Colombia
  19. Russia would have all of Ukraine without Trump apparently (he's having a day)
  20. Cuba, Nicaragua, and Colombia, c'mon down!
  21. So he rebuilt our military, but now he needs $1.5 Trillion
