  1. https://www.politico.eu/article/attacks-will-be-spectacular-cia-war-on-terror-bush-bin-laden/ The drama of failed warnings began when Tenet and Black pitched a plan, in the spring of 2001, called “the Blue Sky paper” to Bush’s new national security team. It called for a covert CIA and military campaign to end the Al Qaeda threat—“getting into the Afghan sanctuary, launching a paramilitary operation, creating a bridge with Uzbekistan.” “And the word back,” says Tenet, “‘was ‘we’re not quite ready to consider this. We don’t want the clock to start ticking.’” (Translation: they did not want a paper trail to show that they’d been warned.) Black, a charismatic ex-operative who had helped the French arrest the terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal, says the Bush team just didn’t get the new threat: “I think they were mentally stuck back eight years [before]. They were used to terrorists being Euro-lefties—they drink champagne by night, blow things up during the day, how bad can this be? And it was a very difficult sell to communicate the urgency to this.”
  2. Uh we had Intel and chose not to do anything multiple times. The serious people are no longer in charge. They are beginning to realize that they need to hire back people they fired. Farmers are freaking out that they aren't getting paid for the crops sent by way of USAID. Do they need to eat a bullet because they're bankrupt before it gets important?
  3. The Reaves experiment has concluded in Toronto.
  4. It's when the design aesthetic supercedes the functionality. See Balenciaga. Sure, it's pretty but does it work.
  5. There are two kinds of VW owners. Ones that will only have VW and those that won't ever get another one. I'm in the second group.
  6. I don't give a shit if they cut off aid for Ukraine here. It has lit a fire under the Euros. Trump can deny the money to our defense contractors but it doesn't matter to the Euros. 20 countries ready to get that sweet sweet cash. And Lavrov isn't happy about it. Fuck off and die you absolutely horrific pos. --- The plan, spearheaded by the UK and France, was set out by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at this weekend's summit of 18 European and Canadian leaders, and would work to uphold any ceasefire in Russia's war on Ukraine. Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said such a move "can't be allowed" because it would amount to the "direct, official and unveiled involvement of Nato members in the war against Russia". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2017v5ngxpo
  7. I saw Eisen and his 5 rumors yesterday. Notably absent was the talk of Sanders being "arrogant" and "brash" in some of his interviews or his 3 word reply of "How u know" when asked about it online. That's the slippage I'm expecting. Going second to the Browns? Yeah I don't think so. Tomlin takes him late? Not sure about that either. I don't think Tomlin will put up with his shit and I don't think Sanders will stoop to being a Brown. I wouldn't touch him. I can see the Jets taking him because they are run by a teenager but I don't know who else will be giving him a serious look. Listening to Bob Sturm talk about him yesterday he called his 10 yd plus passes awful, but strange things possess the football minds on draft day. I think he's toxic.
  8. The chair of the House GOP's campaign arm told Republican lawmakers Tuesday to stop holding in-person town halls amid a wave of angry backlash over the cuts undertaken by President Donald Trump's administration. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), the NRCC chair, delivered the message inside a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, according to three people granted anonymity to describe the private remarks. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/03/04/congress/gop-town-halls-richard-hudson-00210024?fbclid=IwY2xjawI0Ea1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHefWd1xDCfd5u2lOUmtPiFg6FCP1lmSYWr41Zp8LPx-29CVF428knnd3OA_aem_vDKuy6ywnf5asZf_wBPRQQ
  9. If you get any dumber we'll have to feed and water you twice a day.
  10. Least surprising combine result ever. If that delusional old man wastes a draft pick on him I'll celebrate the acceleration of the chaos that will accompany it. Plus it'll make for some great radio on the little ticket.
  11. Bingo. He gains nothing by feeding Trump's ego. Don't waste one second on him. Go to Starmer and Macron and get what you need. The Czechs ramped up the donations to buy the Blackhawk after Trump was a dick to him.
  12. Senator, I think you might want to check out the Euros.
  13. I wonder how many of these conversations are being had.
  14. @Fastbreak Because Reagan told them Government was bad in Mississippi in the same place where they shot people for registering black voters. Because LBJ called it right. And because Atwater knew how to stoke the racism without saying the n word. Because Willie Horton and Welfare Queens. They want to hurt other people and they are going to be in the same target area. Fucking conned and too proud and hateful to admit it.
  15. Don't care. I replied to Bozo on that earlier. At this point I just don't give a shit. We're looking at real fucking damage from the repeated firings. These idiots will probably be suckered into voting against their own interests AGAIN. He could have just as easily replied in the appropriate thread that's easily a dozen pages iirc I'm fucking pissed off. They are too prideful and ashamed to admit they have been played. They wanted Medicaid to be taken from brown and black people. They wanted to see people getting fired in places full of Democrats. That ain't how it's going is it? So, there ya go. That's what I am here to discuss. He can stay on topic or keep getting negs.
  16. Is there anything about this that addresses the Trump voters that got fired? No. It's bullshit to distract from the fact that people that voted for your party are getting their lives turned upside down by a heartless bunch of neo Nazis. So fuck off
