brugroffil posted:You're really sort of messing the up possible causes there. You wouldn't need "everyone" who voted for Obama in 08/12 to stay home, just a few thousand (depending on county of course) which may only be a few percentage of his total votes there, and you could easily have a similar number of that huge chunk of non-voters who sat home in 08/12 deciding to turn out in 2016. You wouldn't need more than a few percentage points each way to swing things. you're really sort of messing up reading my post. I said "unless everyone who voted stayed home, a bunch of people must have switched," which is true. a few thousand people from multiple counties across a state switching from Dem to GOP is definitely "a bunch." by far, the most likely voters are people who've voted before. new voters turned out and some old voters stayed home, for sure, but it was mostly the same people who voted in 2012, and a significant number of them must have switched

I did a thing posted:
Coll is a preeminent scholar on this topic and I have read ghost wars and his 'follow up' book about the bin laden family. I don't see your point though except maybe an attempt to connect America with the 'creation' of OBL. That has been proven false multiple times, most vocally by Coll himself, which, if you read his books he talks about.

The best thing about coll was while researching for his book on exxon he couldn't get ANYONE to talk to him. Al-Qaeda and the CIA? No problem. Exxon? Hit the bricks pal.

I said "unless everyone who voted stayed home, a bunch of people must have switched," which is true. a few thousand people from multiple counties switching from Dem to GOP is definitely "a bunch." This is where your point goes off of the rails. You don't need "everyone" who voted before to stay home, just a relative handful, and you don't need a ton of people who had sat out 2008/2012 to turn out in 2016 in order to produce a bunch of flipped counties. A lot of these counties also really did have a lot of people just staying home, with turnout lower than both 2008 and 2012. That points to "unmotivated"/dumb-as-hell Obama voters who didn't show up for Clinton, which is a problem, but it doesn't really indicate that they instead showed up for Trump.

I too have spent some time down the wiki rabbit hole about the Congo Crisis, and was contemplating getting a copy of "The Assassination of Lumumba" and was hoping you could review it first.

I dunno, Putin bought Flynn's undying loyalty to Mother Russia for like, $40K. Like congressmen, you can buy these people for shockingly low amounts.

Vladimir Putin posted:Uhh yeah. Have you every heard the joke about the workers in the soviet bed factory that can't find a bed to buy in their hometown? One of he workers goes into work and steals parts to make a bed so that he can have something to sleep on at night. He does this for months on end but all he is ends up with after multiple tries are a bunch of ak-47s. Did you ever hear the joke that if the US wanted to bankrupt the Soviets we could just give them an aircraft carrier. We have 10.

Joementum posted:Weiner's book "Enemies" goes into how the FBI hosed up the 9/11 intelligence by ignoring a field agent who had one of the hijacker's laptop's in her possession for months. Also a lot of fun stuff about the Hoover era, like when he invited Nixon over for dinner and they ate steak in a room with lava lamps and beads because J. Edgar want to understand the yout's. I'll need to check each of those out. The Exxon book sounds more appealing right now. Like seriously, Rex has some PMCs working for him? I really wish our government would ban PMCs entirely. Though some days, I wouldn't mind working for one. Making six-figures, tax free, to guard a supply route for a year? Sign me up.
