And for having his partners in crime inside the government frequently go to prison when the inevitable backlash starts.

I think that's some weird behavior of the web site... for me, on VPN it redirects to YouTube, but when not using a VPN it gives the text article.

Maybe they're redirecting non-US visitors to their YouTube channel or something? I have no idea honestly.

Absolutely educational. You can feel the fear and the tiredness.

Trump is probably nettled about Russia’s claim to have tested a long-range, nuclear-powered cruise missile, the Burevestnik

Let me tell you a little story about an American missile called the "snark."

The name was the sort of joke that weapons engineers like to make. It was supposed to navigate itself autonomously to its target in the Soviet Union by watching the stars. It did not have horizontal stabilizers, and flew itself pointed in a weird nose-up attitude the entire way. Once it arrived at its destination, it was supposed to detach the warhead and then pull up violently in order not to get in the warhead's way, which caused it to break apart in flight. They said with a straight face that the falling debris would help to confuse enemy radar, as if this had been a purposeful design element rather than something that they weren't bothering to fix.

It did not do its navigation very well. One of the strategic bomber pilots was quoted as saying that he felt a hell of a lot better about flying his bomber knowing that the plan was for a bunch of these things to be wandering aimlessly above Asia and distracting everyone's attention from what his bomber was up to.

Anyway, they tried it in about 1961, and it sucked so they stopped. And I think the US in 1961 was in a lot better position than modern Russia to do these kinds of things effectively.

Just a little story to distract everyone from the horror of Trump and what he is doing

One thing about this is that it seems to labor under the assumption of a symmetrical (or near symmetrical) fight, and that is exactly the last thing that a resistance group should be doing.

He talks about guerilla war in parts of it.

All these human traffickers have homes to go back to at night, and if enough face repercussions, it will quickly become difficult to find people willing to stick their neck out and possibly become yet another new fountain.

The same is true of judges, Democratic congresspeople, state governors... all kinds of people. So you're right back to the symmetrical conflict.

I feel like since she is a candidate and a Democrat, all kinds of her funding is subject to all kinds of scrutiny. "Well I know these people gave me a donation via my campaign web site but it wasn't used to fund my campaign" is exactly the kind of logic that I think you can get away with as a Republican but not as a Democrat, even when it is 100% truthful.

His patch says "US Border Patrol," so presumably CBP. Of course the whole thing is such a shit show that it could potentially be just a patch he slapped on there or something, but I would guess that he is CBP.

I demand satisfaction

You are totally besmirching me

Look, buddy. I know a lot about the law and the various other lawerings. I'm well educated. Well versed. I know that situations like this -- agg assault wise -- they're very complex.

Sounds good. Inb4 we're on Fox News as an example of the radical left foreigner criminals who are funding this domestic terrorist candidate.

You need to be a citizen or resident to contribute (because she is not on the ignoring-the-rules team sadly enough, otherwise it would be fine whatever the amount or how brazenly corrupt).

How much did you want to give her? I'll donate that amount instead.
