The 9th Circus court is the perfect example of progressive politicians legislating from the bench. They interpret the law to say what they think it should say instead of interpreting it as it is written. Just more of "the end justifies the means." The result is all that matters, to hell with the law. You know, when SCOTUS is unanimous including Sotomayer and Ginsburg that you are way the hell out in left field.
I think it's obvious now that a lot of thought wasn't put into what to do after we toppled Saddam. Saddam brought his death on himself though. Playing games and defying the terms of the ceasefire of the First Gulf War wasn't a smart thing to do when the US was still in a rage over 9/11. In retrospect I too think the invasion of Iraq was a mistake but it's almost like Saddam was daring Bush to do it.
I've always wondered, if the Iraqi people had the choice to go back in time and keep Saddam and his progeny instead of what they have now, would they? At the time they seemed very happy when he was removed.
It's clear he was leaking before the memo. They had to know he was the leak, they were just hesitant to fire him. I'm pretty sure this was what all the "loyalty" talk was about.
"Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorized disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the President.
The leaks of this privileged information began no later than March 2017 when friends of Mr. Comey have stated he disclosed to them the conversations he had with the President during their January 27, 2017 dinner and February 14, 2017 White House meeting. Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he leaked to friends his purported memos of these privileged conversations, one of which he testified was classified. He also testified that immediately after he was terminated he authorized his friends to leak the contents of these memos to the press in order to "prompt the appointment of a special counsel.""
I agree that it's not illegal. But I think this is what got him fired. If I knew the son of a bitch was sending stuff to the press trying to sabotage me I'd dump him too.
It's bullshit. They already have cameras on every corner and all kinds of spying in place. The problem is one of competency. They have what they need they're just mismanaging it. She could start by pulling all the coverage off of Asange. How asinine to waste millions penning a journalist in an embassy. So what if he escapes? He's done nothing to the UK.
With a billion dollars they'll do nothing. Samsung's market cap is a quarter of a trillion dollars. Apple is at 800 billion. They'd better be really creative. If they're creative enough, Apple might buy them.
Forget Nuclear power. It's not going to happen because when you break ground for a new plant thousands of crazy people will descend on you and picket and sue you into oblivion. Chernobyl and Fukishima failures have brought that hysteria to a crescendo. Forget it.
I got married in 1980 and we had a 12" black & white until 1983 when I got a 19" color set. I didn't really need a color set, shitty shows look just as shitty in color. Still, the Jones's had one so we got one. Now I have a 50" HD that weighs less than the 19" color. And shitty shows still look just as shitty. But they're in High Def now.
In 140 characters he's not going to do anything better than a sound bite. I only follow for the fun. It's entertaining to watch him yank the chain on all the haters that follow him. Everytime he tweets, no matter what he says, it's an immediate hate fest as they all chime in to profane, curse and hate on him. Then there are the sycophants that chant their agreement. There's no real communication though.
Yes, you got it. That's why they can't stop anything. They collect everything thus when something blows up they can figure it all out. But they can't stop it because it's too much info to parse adequately.
The first think that popped into my head is that 5.56mm ammo is about 50 cents per unit and how people should donate some to this dickhead. That is of course a bad thought. I should never think like that. It's hard to control sometimes though.
And to think she worked for an Intel contractor. No wonder Russia, China and all these other people eat our lunch. The entire Intel community is incompetent. They leak like a sieve.

Yes. I'll shed no tears for that individual.

You may be right about a lot of that, I don't know. I really wonder at your description of Saddam's Iraq as a Democratic country though.

More power to him.
Known is the key word here. It's not the problems you know about, it's the ones you don't that get you.

It actually started before the leaked memo.

FOX loves to read them on air and comment on them. The outrage is hysterical.
I value my freedom a little too much for that. It's a nice fantasy though.

No argument from me.

Mopar people call that a slant 6. 225 cubic inches of torque. With a hyperpack intake and a good four barrel carb it'll get up and go.

We need better educated criminals.

I wouldn't bet my freedom on it.
