Anything in Swedish? This is pretty loving relevant for us right now, there's a lot of washup going on over the lack of emergency and security planning and readiness this week.

e: just for fun, a scathing report was withheld from the public, then leaked a couple of days ago. Turns out the PM and minister of defence had been bullshitting everyone.

Yeah, HBL had a brief article about the proposed law:

quote:

Territorialövervakningslagen ska ändras. I ett utkast som Försvarsministeriet skickat på remiss föreslås att kraftåtgärder ska kunna användas också mot angripare som inte kan identifieras direkt genom yttre symboler som exempelvis uniformer.

Ministeriet vill att ändringarna träder i kraft så fort som möjligt. Meningen är att reformera lagen så att den motsvarar det förändrade säkerhetsläget och hot av nya slag.

Ryssland använde angripare utan gradbeteckningar eller andra kännetecken, så kallade gröna män, i annekteringen av den ukrainska Krimhalvön i början av 2014. Till en början påstods de bara vara på semester på Krim.

I territorialövervakningslagen avses med en militär person en beväpnad eller obeväpnad person som bär militär uniform och som hör till en stats väpnade styrkor. Man har utgått från att den främmande stats soldat bär sin stats uniform och tydligt kan identifieras som en soldat från staten i fråga. I det nya utkastet föreslås att militärt våld ska kunna användas också mot angripande soldater, truppavdelningar eller fordon som saknar identifierbara symboler.

What would Trump's "tax reform" have been anyways? Pretty sure that'd be designed to screw poor people just as much in the long run. Probably would've cut taxes on capital gains, dividends, the top income bracket, then give a pittance to the poor and middle class, probably a corporate tax holiday so they could onshore billions of dollars tax free.

At one point there was a dirty little rumor running around the working base was to remove all deductions for any filings under X amount where the X was set just above the average median. Then a straight rate cut for wealthy along with an expansion of deductions or deductible rates.

But the more accepted attempt is a flat tax, with deductions for the wealthy only. Along with gutting corporate taxes to essentially nothing for major corps, placing the tax deficit onto small and midsize businesses. I think it was Ted Cruz who drew up this plan.



Tell me the FBI did what it does best. Get the evidence you need to bring down the top, call in all the stooges, put the screws to them for their part and then offer a deal for reduced sentences in return for going Pavarotti on the ones they really want (Trump).

Lie to me if you have to, I just need to believe that is what happened.

Flynn was conspiring with his Turkish handlers to figure out a way to get that Gulen separatist guy out of the U.S. 'outside of the extradition process'.

Very, very illegal stuff discussed there.

Wait. I thought we already knew this. Its why Flynn wrote that column just after the election?

Is there a concise report on who is on who's side in the Republican Party? Because it feels like it's every rear end in a top hat for himself.

I don't have a breakdown, but ran across this earlier:

Caveats:
The pic the 2016 candidate field, not the current House /Senate
The size of each venn circle doesn't represent the actual strength of each group in power, numbers or money.

But it does show that the GOP has a lot of different constituents whose ends and means are not always the same.

Every single one of these revelations we have coming out about Flynn makes his state of mind seem even more inscrutable to me. He aims to do the worst possible things and plans them out in the worst possible manner, and I'm never really certain if it can be for the sake of wealth, authoritarian bootlicking, or both at the same time. It almost feels like there needs to be a specific medical classification for whatever happened to his brain that would lead him to making moves that only escalate in their foolishness to the point that he would wind up in the Trump campaign, Putin's good graces, and Turkish espionage.

This is all the Democrats' fault. When Obamacare explodes, they'll be willing to make a deal. Or something.
