Diversity hire. Affirmative action.

That’s the jist of it. You complained about russia destabilizing Eastern Europe when I pointed out that money we send to Ukraine is being shoveled back to campaign funds. I said it is destabilizing the U.S.A. as much or more. Your deranged reply was we’ll be fine, kinda like Biden running around touting Bidenomics, just before the credit rating was downgraded. The sad part is that Biden should have been working to avoid or end the war from the beginning. U.S. meddling in Ukraine, especially pushing NATO membership, is what has Putin riled the most. As it stands now, we’re going bankrupt while Ukrainians die, and Iran, China, and North Korea are all acting out, knowing we can’t, or won’t, respond. And when the last Ukrainian dies, we’ll spend even more to rebuild it.

Yeah, NARA has been around the block with Obama over like 30 million records he took, but in Trumps case, someone said: you’re wanting those records? Send a referral and we’ll help you out. It’s all back to that administrative state being politicized.

Some misconceptions about classified documents have been posted here. There is no similarity between Trump’s handling of classified documents and Pence, Biden, or Hiliary. Trump was a president and none of the others were. The president has ultimate authority over classification. Nobody is above him. Nobody can challenge his authority. Nobody has equal authority to him. If a president divulges secret information it is not considered a leak, it is considered declassified. The judge in the Clinton sock drawer case explained the records that a president takes with him when he leaves office as both, considered declassified, and personal records of the former president’s. He has a two year period for which he has complete authority over them, and a ten year period against FOIA requirements

Yeah, but they don’t show it in that video.

It doesn’t explain any rumors, it just illustrates political prosecution.

The credit rating just got downgraded.

What is a woman?

Destabilizing the U.S.A. as well.

Constitutional amendment.

What do you think is going on with Ukraine?

Saw this on Steve Gruber this afternoon. Did somebody defund the police or something? Maybe the guy is from Singapore.

Somebody didn’t go to law school.

I haven’t seen that movie but if you’re interested in the subject I highly recommend two books. 1. JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters by James Douglass. This one is the one RFK Jr also recommends. 2. The Secret Team: The CIA and its Allies in Control of the United States and the World by Col. Fletcher Prouty. This one is out in two versions, mine is from the original printing in, I think, 1973. The gov’t acted a little slow but did manage to buy them out after it started making a hit. They then allowed a reprint after some editing. I haven’t seen one of those but imagine it would still give the jist of the story, that being how the CIA expands, imbeds, and finances itself into everything. Prouty was a sort of role model for the part Donald Sutherland played in Stone’s first JFK movie. After these two eye opening books you should be able to recognize that something is wrong and it’s not gridlock, that something needs to be done and it’s not term limits, there’s a reason voting for different people doesn’t change anything. They are the “temps.”

I have no insider information, I don’t know him, you, nor anybody else on this board, but I have deducted from what he’s said that it’s highly unlikely that he is the @75 year old that might have been issued an m-14 in Vietnam. You just have to use your head for something besides holding your ears apart.

Guess

No you won’t.

I knew immediately that it was damned doubtful that he was old enough to have carried an m-14 in Vietnam. Then the short preface sentence made sense.

Just try that in a small town.

We’re finding out, day by day.

Yeah, like BBQ.

Huh oh. Where have I heard that before? Anyway, call it NILL; NIL League.

The musicians, vocalists,, and songwriters that made up that band were phemonomel. aside: Listened to a radio show one night, call in show featuring Joe Walsh and his music. Caller asked him if he had any advice for a young band starting out. Walsh replied: “Yeah. Don’t take any underage girls across state lines.”

Playing God.

All you cooks: there’s a job opening on Martha’s island. Lots of bennies, good pay, LE’s* nothing to write home about, though. * Life Expectancy
