liberal activist group claims conservative activist group (O'Keefe's Project Veritas) attempts to recruit liberal activists to "put a stop to" Trump inauguration

hilariously, Trump's "charity foundation" has given money to Veritas in the past - I'm not suggesting Trump's somehow behind this, but rather it would be funny if a group his foundation contributed to was responsible for disrupting his own inauguration with sleazy political games.

Problem is, now every rube will never believe Russia had anything to do with the DNC hacks and will never trust the CIA again.

People trusted the CIA to begin with? I mean, that's an organization that was founded on incompetence and sustained by buffoonery. Their sheer retardation was only ever in doubt by the public because everyone thought the CIA was made up of James Bond, Jack Ryan, and John Clark.

I'm still pretty skeptical over all of this but Trump is reacting in the best (worst) way possible so there's hope it's true or at least damaging enough it can slow down or stop the trump train.

Well, no, but the intelligence community has still been trying to convince people that Putin directly ordered the DNC hacks. It hasn't worked and it sure as poo poo isn't going to now. Trump said he wants to overhaul everything and his supporters are going to be rabid for it now.

It's kinda bad.

I mean, the majority of the tactical and operational HUMINT we received in Afghanistan was sourced by the CIA. No idea how good they are at producing strategic intelligence, but from what I gather their network is pretty much unmatched by any of the other agencies in charge of foreign intelligence.

Menedez just asked him about sanctions against Russia and he said he thinks they don't work.

Proceeded to go on saying all they aren't an effective tool and all they do is impede American Business interests when they are imposed.

:stare:

He gave a pretty bad answer either way you cut it.
"Oh I didn't lobby against sanctions."
"Exxonmobil did"
"Well not to my knowledge they didn't."

So you were the CEO but you weren't aware of what your own lobbyists were lobbying for? Well then you're either lying or incompetent.

A supremely enlisted friend of mine came up with the word "Schockständer" when we last-second zipped past a broken-down truck at 140mph on the Autobahn after the car ahead of us swerved waay too late.

It translates into "startle boner", which could work, I guess? :shrug:
