  1. The president of the United States is the top classification authority. They can classify/declassify anything they want, and approve clearance for any person they choose.
  2. Because again, her going on and on wasn’t putting her in any danger. She wasn’t incriminating herself. She was being responsive to their question about someone else. If she started to stray into territory dangerous to herself or was asked a question that put her in potential peril, her counsel would have stepped in.
  3. She had switched to a non-Trump provided attorney during her second depo. The lawyer is there to protect her, not Trump.
  4. Tell me trump kicked you out of the meeting without telling me trump kicked you out of the meeting.
  5. Yup, very concerning.
  6. Yup, the hearings are sowing too much down there. They need some alternative facts put on camera.
  7. Nothing will change until people start shooting up legislators and/or their families on the reg. None of the fucks on the right care until they are directly affected.
  8. Negged for ignoring the entire body of the post. It’s not about the fucking bullet, no matter how much you try to deflect.
  9. Stop being pedantic. His larger point is ARs are dangerous, regardless of caliber or ammo. An 18 YO can walk into a store and buy an AR off the shelf and a few boxes of white box and shoot up a school or parade. That white box ammo will fucking wreck human bodies just fine without him having a clue about grain, muzzle velo, etc. Mass shooters have a pretty simple formula to follow; semi-auto so they can sling ammo down range quickly, HC magazine so they can shoot more with less downtime while reloading. The driver between AR and pistol really boils down to the need to conceal the weapon before starting. I’m sure if you polled these shooters the bullet type probably wasn’t even considered beyond matching it to whatever they purchased. Why? Because they aren’t shooting up people wearing body armor, or expecting to have to overpenetrate barriers, or wanting to reduce the report of the weapon to conceal their actions. The bullet has fuck all to do with the mass shooter issue.
  10. No, there’s plenty if people that buy an AR the same reason they live in the burbs and buy an HD pickup, bro culture is serious bidness. The vast majority of gun owners don’t remotely understand what their weapons actually do to human tissue, which is part of the problem. Anyone that buys an AR15 for home defense isn’t a serious person.
  11. The lack of kick or recoil is accomplished with a buffer spring, not a lack of power.
  12. The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a slave is a good guy with a slave?
  13. Evangelical votes are completely transactional. As long as you will push anti abortion/gay legislation, they don’t give two shits about your personal sins. The ends justify the means with those people. Always.
  14. Yep, get Engles and Ornato on the hook about the limo story, then press them under oath about the real shit like this.
  15. Nothing says inwardly focused on faith like demanding to pray in the middle of a football field while fans are present.
  16. I was going to say, as a white male with a solid income, it’s pretty easy to cope.
  17. I picked a good week to start drinking.
  18. If you’re trying to learn the game and get a feel for it, ESPN is a good way to go. ESPN owns the right to the Bundesliga so you get better access to those games now with an ESPN+ subscription. A lot of USMNT players are either currently there or came through the BuLi, so there’s that too. NBC likes to push their big PL games to peacock, which sucks.
  19. To some degree I guess. I can’t think of many players that carry club grudges into international play. Dortmund and Bayern are the two big rivalries in the Budesliga, and there is significant shit talking in league play, but I haven’t seen Reus have any trouble playing with Muller, Neuer, etc. Kroos took some pretty big shots at Bayern when he left for RM, but again, I haven’t seen any issue when they put on the Germany shirts. The WC is so significant and it’s really hard for an individual player to try to take over. I know the good team beats good players saying is true across all sports, but in soccer I think it’s pretty significant. WC play is a step down from club play IMO just because of the lack of playing time together, guys playing out of position, playing in systems they may not be as strong in, etc. They train and play for clubs almost year round, and the best soccer comes from transcendent moments where multiple guys all get on the same wavelength and create magic. Set pieces (corner kicks, free kicks) are the only time where guys are running set plays that they have practiced. Outside of that players are creating chances out of actions and reactions, and the best ones come from hundreds of hours of training and playing together.
  20. WC is for countries, not clubs, so I’m not sure why rivalries or history at the club level would matter if your focus is on the WC in 2026. Internationally there are some natural rivalries (border countries), and historical ones (consistent WC finalists), but it’s rarely as hot as the club stuff since the WC is every 4 years. A lot of players have made their marks at the club level. Messi is a football god, but that was largely built on his success at Barcelona, not Argentina. Ronaldo has been successful at both the club and country level. You should understand that individual superstars don’t always translate to carrying a team at the WC. France is loaded. Belgium is loaded. Germany is still a work in progress under a new HC, but generally bring very disciplined, technical play to the game. Brazil usually plays very entertaining football. Most “good” international players are in the EPL, but most “good” German players are in the Bundesliga, so it really depends on what team you want to latch onto outside of the USMNT.
  21. Need a hotel rec for a last minute trip this coming weekend. Preferably warehouse towards the quarter, needs to have a pool and ideally a bar in or near the pool.
  22. Overheard my mom talking to her mom in Germany today: “I need to change where I sit in church, the aisle seems like a bad idea.” It’s all so god damn ridiculous.
  23. He got on most peoples radar with with the Prenda law porn extortion stuff.
