Catamounts! How do you do this but only score 23 & win barely by 2?

I might, maybe, possibly could find a scintilla of a nano-reason to like Patel if he released what’s known on the DNC/RNC pipe bombs. I believe that was one of the big promised reveals. Guess what: hasn’t happened.

Thanks, I am slow, internet’s terrible for subtext. My point was about how Patel’s language is low grade insult posting & conspiracy mongering. IMO Patel is the one with TDS. Wray was always professional as was nearly every FBID before him.

Kind of interesting discussion what might’ve been the most significant threats to democracy in the US have been post CW but pre 1/6/21. KKK era, 1870s, 1920s. McCarthy America First 1 with Lindbergh. America First 2 under Gen. Walker (JFK era). George Wallace third party run. Huey Long. Nixon/Watergate 9/11/01 - it’s funny to me that it was conservatives yelling about the dangers of the Patriot Act back then but now it’s Trump who is using it just in the way they warned, but they’re supporting it. WW2 - There was an internal threat of a slice of America that thought we should align with Nazi Germany vs the Soviets. Again, for example, AfD deepening ties with Trump & Maga, I don’t really think this argument cuts the way maga thinks.

A few things: This interview was posted by the White House. Her comment was about the mismanagement of the Trump1 administration. Worth noting while VP Pence was under attack at the Capitol there was a simultaneous attempt to attack the VP-Elect. +++++++ Q On January 6, your vehicle was allowed to kind of — passed a viable pipe bomb. We’ve seen these — THE VICE PRESIDENT: No, I was in the building. Q You were in the building. Q You were in the building? THE VICE PRESIDENT: Uh-huh. +++++++

Is all this excitement about the D’Souza piece or something else? Always amusing when maga gets riled up out of nowhere & it’s typically because of something in the right wing blogosphere. It also cracks me up how prominent immigrants & children of immigrants are in this whole movement, Trump, his wives, his children, D’Souza, Patel, Cruz, Rubio, Vance’s wife, for people who hate immigrants they sure do love them some immigrants.

The Supreme Court has denied Maxwell’s appeal. Thus she is left with a sentence of maximum security with hard labor… currently being served in minimum security facilities with yoga classes & walking paths, with the only option out now being clemency from her friend, the President of the United States.

White House won’t comment on clement request for sex trafficker Maxwell.

I distinctly recall that being thrown around by the Tea Party crowd. Ah yes there were threats that Obama would send in troops & Blackhawk attack copters. Imagine.

I think what we’ve seen over time is the mentality on these corners of the webverse going from just that corners to the actual corridors of power. Patel is basically a shitposter given the reins of one of the most powerful posts in US government.

Per the US Sec. of Commerce China has stopped buying US soybeans.

Trump: there is virtually no inflation.

He was responding to a former prosecutor who merely pointed out that DOJ policy prohibits perp walks. Patel then threatened to fire anyone in the FBI who didn’t agree to violate DOJ policy. His use of expletives & 5th grade insults just demonstrates his lack of qualification.

Special Counsel John Durham informed the US Attorney for EDVA that in 4 years of his investigation he could not find any crimes committed by FBI Director Comey.

What a jerk.

Loughmiller’s Pub & Eatery - looks like a good place.

This is so odd. I’m just curious how you know Comey & Patel are actual living persons if you didn’t learn about it through some sort of media. Do they go to your grocery? Hang out at the local bar? How have you even heard about these people?

Ok, it’s confirmed - Comey hasn’t been arrested. Now *why that is, maybe it’s because Kash Patel is made of blue cheese, maybe Jim Comey doesn’t even exist. I’ve never seen or met him, have you?

Sanchez arrested.

Not a random act of violence & no locals involved. Sounds like Sanchez was in an argument with someone else from out of town?

I was lending further support to the OP. The link has more information.

Actually this is every bit as bad or even worse. National Review.

You heard of Project 2025, right? We’ll get ready for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030.” >>Under Vision 2030, Riyadh is recasting defense not only as deterrence, but also as an industrial policy—a vehicle for jobs, technology acquisition, and for retaining some value locally. In this setting, defense cooperation with Washington looks less like a one-way security guarantee and more like industrial bargaining over who captures the economic rents of modernization—through offsets, joint ventures, and licensing. The ambition is clear, so are the risks. While these mechanisms promise localization and capability, U.S. commitment remains under question.<< - Supposedly the Arabs are envisioning Gaza as the next Silicon Valley with the USA paying for it.

I agree with that, & IMO right now Trump believed what’s good for Qatar is good for Trump.

There’s a slice of the far right that has never been fully bought into maga because of Trump’s devotion to Israel.
