  1. Did we ever get clarification on the intel that prompted the initial change in US posture (sending a carrier group closer to Iran)? Was it just that they're enriching uranium at a faster pace?
  2. I remember when the Nunes memo was released, some Ds and Rs on the HPSCI got to see the unredacted version. IIRC, the Ds refuted the assertion that, without the dossier, the FISA warrant might not have been approved. The D response to Nunes' memo stated that the FBI acted correctly. https://www.npr.org/2018/02/24/588563076/memo-by-house-intelligence-committee-democrats-released-as-nunes-addresses-cpac
  3. If this episode is a trailer for the movie that will be WWIII, then the movie will be something else. It will be 2023, and cable news will be scratching their heads wondering what Trump's motivations were for insane action #1342. I wonder if he has some super-sensitive intelligence on this? Or maybe one of his advisers has some background info on the problem? No. Just more shit slinging.
  4. Has it ever been confirmed that the dossier was the primary justiication for the FISAs? I know that was Nunes' narrative that he was trying to push. Carter Page had been contacted by Russians for at least a couple of years before the campaign. The FBI sat down with the Trump campaign and warned them of Russians trying to use them. Then, the campaign had further interactions and told the FBI nothing about it.
  5. Maybe Hope Hicks finally answered one of his calls and told him to stand down.
  6. What's Paul Bremer doing these days. We're going to need a good viceroy to look after Iran.
  7. Twitter comments deliver
  8. There are obviously a lot of differences, but the similarities b/w Biden and Trump are interesting. Both stubborn, old men living in the past. Both will argue wilh a brick wall and never admit a mistake. Do swing voters get motivated by that kind of a D nominee?
  9. The 'good' news is that he'll probably tweet out the location before the actual strike.
  10. We're so screwed.
  11. If not Iran, he's going fall ass backwards into a war with someone.
  12. CNN reporter interviewed an older Trumpkin before the Orlando rally. He asked the guy if he had any misgivings about the lies that Trump has told. He said, "First off, I'd like to know what lies he's told?"
  13. Somebody must have interfered with the election. The real polls had us up by 10 points.
  14. The pathology with him is disturbing. You see every other president age 10+ years while in office. He's so self-absorbed that it's kind of a high for him. Everyone's always talking about him. He has scores of advisers kissing his ring. He can act with impunity.
  15. Mitchum antiperspirant works for me. Some smelly assholes itt.
  16. Florida is making progress. Slow, but progress. Maybe they can wean him off of Barney floats in favor of real pneumatic women.
  17. ^ Good one. It's hard to imagine a lot of the scenes without the songs that go with them.
  18. It's incredible that the stress hasn't gotten him. Still say there's a decent chance he loads the whole Hee-Haw gang on AF1 and flies off to Mother Russia.
  19. What would you say the most important personalities or organizations have been in promoting Trump? We've discussed several of them here. Rush - liberals are evil and they want to destroy America Pastors (local and national) - SCOTUS justices NRA - have they been as influential as the first two?
  20. To help run out the clock.
  21. fifh
  22. I don't know how it would play out, but I'm sure some less friendly countries would love to use Iran as a proxy to get a few shots in at the USA.
