  1. Can you post that FBI statement you referenced? Was he detained after his identify was verified? You seem to be making stuff up. He went to create drama. He did not identify himself when he rolled up, he was not wearing the security pin that the USSS and FBI would be trained to recognize. He starting clowning, was engaged by security and responded by physically engaging them back. He got removed to a side room and taken to the ground. Look go to any secured public press conference and try that same shit and you will be rolled out too. If this is what is going to make you bark about authoritarianism, reasonable people are going to ignore your barking in the future when it will be actually warranted. Get a grip guys.
  2. Can you post the statement. Calling me names doesn't really hurt my feels. No one got arrested. I am pretty sure that the security protocols in place guide to remove the potential security threat from the situation. It's not licking boots to see someone acting like a child in a public setting end up with the expected outcome.
  3. None of these events are happening in a vacuum. Since 10/7 Israel has been on an absolute run, and has executed precisely on their objectives (ranging from ethnic cleansing to decapitation of Hizballah and Iranian leadership). They may have the most effective military planners in the world at the moment, at least judging by the skins on the wall.
  4. I don't think that there was a crime here. It was a security issue handled by the security personnel. If you are telling me that they broke protocol and SOP at any point, I am certainly willing to hear the argument. It is pretty obvious to me that Padilla went in there to create drama. He got exactly what he wanted out of it and then went on TV and lied about it.
  5. Took the boys for some fishing and out to dinner yesterday evening, but thanks for always thinking about me. The video is pretty clear to me. He went there to create drama, and he found some.
  6. I just watched the video again. Opinion unchanged.
  7. I am unsurprised that y'all hide the absurdity behind ad hominem. Come on y'all just watch the videos. Y'all dilute the message while deluding yourselves. Some really dumb hills.
  8. Dude's got balls and I respect his service. But I don't have to respect his foreign policy views and the related outcomes. I appreciate that a joke at the expense of a dead John McCain is probably distasteful. You will get over it. If he was still alive he would be sharing the lotion with Lindsay.
  9. Not sure that I disagree with any of this. Iran was the final piece of the neocon dream for American foreign policy engage. Ukraine, Syria, Iran were the outstanding and completely inter-related priorities. Here we are guys. Took multiple administrations to land the ship. Soak it up.
  10. This is lazy Twice, uncharacteristically. But I understand the general audience.
  11. A broad neocon reference frankly, and a joke that I have made on this board numerous times wrt McCain, both before and after he died, when neocon world events play out to the logical conclusions.
  12. McCain's dick just go so fucking hard that his rotting corpse rolled over.
  13. Right. So he knew exactly what reaction a US Senator going out of protocol and unannounced was going to elicit. Maybe you and I react differently to watching him clown out. I don't think that there was anything there particularly noble.
  14. Quite the opposite. I watched the videos. It was a performative and non serious act for a senator to take and he knew exactly how security was going to respond.
  15. Not even close. I watched the video. You’re a security guard in that room and tell me how you react. It was performative.
  16. Interesting takes here on the Padilla situation. That was just performative nonsense intended to create exactly that optic. Clearly it worked with some of you. Shit. Penelope just projecting. She would be absolutely rubbing her bean like a DJ if LindsayGraham did some performative shit like that at a Mayorkas presser and got floored by the security.
  17. But still man. Don't count on Abbott.
  18. It's simple. God became man so that man could become god.
  19. Just try darkmode and come back and tell me that crackhead mode is better.
  20. Oh good. Looks like we are about to see what happens when the anti-neocon voice gets carved out of the Camp David team. I’d repost the part where I told y’all we should want her in that room, but it would be pearls before swine as usual.
  21. For those posters that require this format for it to land with them, here is Michael Mina saying basically same thing. The roster of the remaining majority should come quickly. ACIP has a meeting on the books for late June.
