Mister chairman, I understand your fascination with these burning buildings. When we lost those four people, Americans far and wide felt as though we've been robbed, like someone stole our car right off the street. I'm sure you know the feeling I am trying to describe.

Captain_Maclaine posted:At this point, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a move to impeach with the supposed coverup of Benghazi as justification. The results of the midterms will dictate how soon it will be, in my opinion. It'll pass the House and fail in the Senate, then the media narrative will become "Do Republicans spend too much time trying to impeach Democratic Presidents?" Their impotent rage over the fact that there is no "there" there on Benghazi is nothing short of hilarious. All this "special committee" is is another bullshit dickwaving party on the part of the GOP to rile up their base. They will find nothing and they will quietly conclude proceedings after the midterm elections.

That will start to be the media narrative, then the GOP will bitch and moan about liberal media, and the media will apologize and cower to the corner where they point out that maybe just about everyone has done some bad stuff!

So I'm a little confused about what this new Benghazi email is supposed to have "revealed". Is it really just that the White House wanted to emphasize the spontaneous video-instigated nature of the attacks? Hasn't that aspect of this been gone over thoroughly already?

All I care about is that the longer they go on about Benghazi, the larger the cost-figures available for attack ads get.

My boss was hand-wringing about Benghazi just before the election. I remember him getting frustrated and half yelling "IT WAS A 9/11 TERROR ATTACK!" over a discussion at lunch one day when I couldn't see why it wasn't just a small-ish tragedy of just a few more pointless deaths on the other side of the world. Today (as in about two hours ago) we were at the same restaurant and the guy my boss is in some investment club with was smirking about how a memo from the day(night?) of got released under FOIA that outlined the White House's initial messaging strategy. I guess it's scandalous that they were going with the video riot story at first? Thankfully someone changed the subject before I get annoyed enough to tell him off for giving a poo poo about this crap. They're both 60+ white men and watch Fox news, so there's your Benghazi follower demographic.

Poor Cliven Bundy. After being harassed by federal agents working to enforce a court order, what's a sovereign citizen to do? That's right, press charges.quote:Surrounded by reporters and supporters, Cliven Bundy's family protested peacefully in front of the Metro Police department this morning and filed criminal complaints against the Bureau of Land Management for assault and other alleged offenses.

AhhYes posted:So I'm a little confused about what this new Benghazi email is supposed to have "revealed". Here's a decent explanation of where the Rhodes email fits into the timeline. tl;dr: it's not news that the White House decided that day to agree with the talking points suggested by the CIA, but now there's an email explicitly stating that. Why this email wasn't included in last Fall's release is unknown, and it probably should have been (OMG COVER UP!), but it doesn't really change our understanding of the situation. What we should have learned from Benghazi is that, once again, the CIA had no loving idea what was going on and we should question the utility of an intelligence agency with such a spectacularly poor track record.

AhhYes posted:So I'm a little confused about what this new Benghazi email is supposed to have "revealed". The 'new Benghazi e-mail' is a single line in a 5-page e-mail from the white house communications director that asks Susan Rice to underscore that the attack grew out of a protest over the anti-Islam video. That information was consistent with what the CIA deputy director was telling the white house at that time. That's it

Thanks for pointing it out to this goon! Kinda surprised to see all you guys posting on this, the National Day of Prayer. This is a non political day where we set aside our differences and reach out to God Almight to heal the divides in our n-... quote:Dobson promoted the event by warning that America “is being invaded by evils such as pornography, abortion, infidelity, same-sex marriage and the agenda of the far Left,” and invited Jonathan Cahn, who believes that President Obama’s re-election and marriage equality are signs of the End Times, to be the event’s keynote speaker. Personal aside, as a young lad in an evangelical Christian school, the National Day of Prayer was a loving dreaded nightmare because we would have to sit quietly in prayer literally all day. zoux fucked around with this message at 20:26 on May 2, 2014 |

Looks like Hollywood attendance at the Correspondents Dinner is on the wane, because This Town tends to act like idiots around celebrities:quote:According to the source, "there are way too many A-listers who have had pretty weird experiences at the dinner. A lot of the people who have gone say they'll never do it again. The room is so crowded. It's uncontrolled. There's no limit to the number of people trying to get photos and autographs -- and there's no way to hide from it. It's like the stars are animals in a cage. People go crazy when they see them. They act like a bunch of kids at the Kids' Choice Awards." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/few-movie-stars-set-attend-700688

Oh man, it wasn't until one of the more recent articles about the Bundy hullabaloo posted in this thread that I learned that those Oath Keeper idiots were part of that madhouse. That's the nutso militia that's been recruiting active-duty military for years right? It's one thing to talk about how evil and illegitimate the government is but to say the same thing while being active duty seems a little more illegal.

Being a part of any public political group or militia group while being active duty is a big no-no. You can donate but any sort of campaigning or the like is highly discourage. That's a quick way to get hammered by your commander.
