Day-yum I’ve never seen docs like these outside of a SCIF. If I had them at home, I would be so f u c k e d. So very, very screwed. https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/df4d688a7687ad6bfaf19aad5d933030912c801b/0_156_5055_3214/master/5055.jpg?width=700&quality=45&fit=max&dpr=2&s=9753b6b3631...

To help the fledgling democracy of Ukraine stave off the Russian hordes.

This segment from Roger Moore’s “Where to invade next” compares our school food to France.

Good advice. If you can achieve mastery in…anything it will be a life well lived.

I’m pretty pessimistic at the moment. Due to structural elements of how we elect people along with some sketchy efforts to suppress votes, we are going to have a minority rule nation it looks like. The minority is going to use its power to divorce itself from having to get a majority of people to su...

An interesting point, it’s not a seizure when you are getting your own stuff back, and all classified information is government property.

He refused to return it, for whatever Trumpian reason, and they retrieved it after trying to be nice for 18 months. Don’t overcomplicate it.

Uh, the rules for clearances are different for career v. politically appointed/elected officials. Maybe they shouldn't be, but they are. No, it makes sense. The people grant them access to the secrets with their vote, so elected officials don’t hold aClearance. They also lose that access when they ...

SCI is a kind of clearance, where it is compartmented, and you need to be “read in” to that compartment. What is that process like? You sit with a security officer and sign a nondisclosure agreement promising not to divulge what you are about to learn, upon criminal penalty. Then you get briefed on...

World class

The more that Trump is abused… They’ve been way too kind to him, being patient while this TS/SCI docs sit there unguarded. I’d be extraordinarily surprised if they hadn’t been exploited. Foreign intelligence don’t need a warrant to go looking. I haveaTS/SCI clearance. SCI is a kind of clearance, wh...

The docs were planted/It’s ok I declassified them.

JFC his followers will gobble down any lie.

Trump can release the warrant, and a list of what was found. He has both.

They had to go somewhere, and there was nowhere else to go, given the fact that there were classified documents in Mar ALago.

Heat cleanses all.

Those out of control wild fires don’t start themselves, though.

If the government was forcing women to have babies, like by forcibly impregnating them or compelling them to get pregnant with force or threats of force, that would be a form of involuntary servitude. It doesn’t have to force them to get pregnant. It just has to force them to stay pregnant. Mission...

No, I just want the mass murders to stop.

I think if you absolutely have to be there, you will want to take a commercial flight or drive. I have thousands of hours, and am not keen to take a small plane into any real weather, no matter what they advertise. But if you love flying, then the opportunity to use the plane as a tool in your life ...

Like breeding show dogs or race horses. Tanks full of coral and fish in stressed environments, pick the successful ones and interbreed them.

I do

Sigh...
That's like having having a small town downwind from a smelting plant outlawing pollution.

Is it time to consider engineering plankton/organisms that thrive with this waste? In order to spare the native varieties? The key is whether evolution or managed breeding will keep up with the conditions, or will we need to pull out the CRISPR machine and actually engineer new creatures, with lord...

Remember, more people die from auto-erotic asphyxiation than from being shot by an AR-15. When there is a mass shooting, everyone at the event is a terror victim, not just the dead folks. When you auto-erotic asphyxiate, only the guy in the stall next to you is traumatized. Maybe. Is that just a re...

The Supreme Court has cleared the way for individual states to pass laws that allow citizens to sue gun owners and collect bounties, ala SB.8 in Texas. I expect we will see some of that at some point. Pandora’s box opened.
