And he didn’t just protect one kid. The football coach, the manliest man in the entire school, was the faculty sponsor for the Gay Straight Alliance club that welcomed everyone. In the 1990s.
Former CIA officer and U.S. Treasury special agent John Cassara spent much of his 26-year career investigating transnational money laundering. He said there is a self-defeating logic to the DEA targeting the drugs and the people that supply them rather than the financial networks.
”It’s easier to go after the product and it’s easier to go after the people than to go after the money,” said Cassara, who retired in 2006. “But that’s a huge mistake.”
Forget the money that fuels the drug trade and funds Chinese espionage. We have street-level dealers to put in jail for decades.
Get it to the floor and make them all vote on the record. That vote will haunt them in the post-Trump era. May even help shoot down some rising stars down the line.
Stable genius: “Vladimir Putin is a great friend of mine. We’ve been dealing with each other for several years. All you have to do to get a favor from Putin is agree to do 10 favors for him then suck his dick. That’s how business is done is Moscow, and I’m a businessman. The best many say.”
Could it be that people don’t want to pay money to strap advertising machines on their faces? Has the robotic Augustus Caesar LARPer lost touch with the common people?
Vance also said he was “outraged at Trump’s rhetoric, and I worry most of all about how welcome Muslim citizens feel in their own country. And there have always been demagogues willing to exploit the people who believe crazy shit. What seems different to me is that the Republican party offers nothing that’s as attractive as the demagogue.”
Exploit the people who believe crazy shit. Exactly what Vance is doing now that he’s sided with the demagogue.
Vance is even worse than a narcissist. He knows better and chooses to be evil for his own self-interest. I get why Trump likes him. He understands a life being driven by self-interest. And he knows Vance will burn everything down to advance he and Trump’s interests.
Mattis checked with his Russian counterpart before, during, and after to make absolutely certain there were no Russian forces in the area. By the end of the bombings, that statement became true.
We’re way, way past that. Oil executives should be flayed and impaled in the public square. Then banking executives. Then insurance. Then pharmaceutical. Then…
Good point, but LLMs are both ubiquitous and the public face of “AI.” I think it’s fair to assign them a decent share of the blame for overpromising and underdelivering.
The only chance for healthcare reform is to preserve democracy. If Trump wins and legalizes ballot stuffing, state legislatures overturning voters, etc. we won’t have a real election again for a very long time.
Putin every single time he addresses the Russian navy.
