UNVERIFIED reports from Syrian state run TV claim that the leader of Islamic State Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed in an air strike in the country.
The IS stronghold of Raqqa was bombed heavily overnight on Saturday, local time, with the terrorist group’s Amaq news agency revealing the damage.

I believe he's attempting to convey that James Comey may have leaked more than we know. And that if they aren't illegal they're something a pussy would do.

Yes. The simplest mechanism is often just a strap holding the gun in place. Most modern retention holsters use some sort of mechanism that locks into the gun and is disengaged with a lever or button, sometimes with an additional hood over the rear of the slide.

It really is loving crazy we live in a world where the people obstructing anything theaw days is the republican party itself. That the last couple of years has seen nothing but the Republicans screaming no at everything, and the Dems get called obstructionist and it will stick contrary to the fact they couldn't obstruct it if the repubs got their poo poo together and either compromised or whip their Congress dudes into voting and people will loving believe it.

In other happenings, Donnie dumbfuck won't go to places that can't guarantee the Saudi hospitality experience. Another interesting tidbit in this article is that he has a list of potential ambassadors drawn up, but hasn't formalized or really done anything with a single one of them.

It really wouldn't surprise me to find out that the reason he's not appointing anybody is because he's expecting kickbacks. I mean, if you're a career politician you've got probably hundreds of people you owe favors to (or want to get political favors from) but if you're a businessman from the outside you just don't have that base. So he's probably expecting someone to bend the knee and submit an offering and there's just not that many scumbags beating down his door to become Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs.

That's also probably giving him too much credit, I'm sure it's closer to "he's lazy and doesn't trust anybody and things haven't blown up yet so gently caress it"

Ambassadors are a bit of a weird case because except for the critical countries, traditionally you give Ambassadorships to big-name political donors and friends. drat near every president has done that for a very long time, Obama included.

The smart people have to be the undersecretaries. The smart people don't want to work for Donnie. So, he doesn't nominate undersecretaries.

Ambassadorships are mostly empty because Donnie doesn't have any friends.

I mean we've seen this kind of thing before around the world and historically. Lie constantly about everything and anything in as bigly a manner as possible to create enough doubt and confusion that people can start to accept your lies. Never defend, always attack. Lie and blame the other side for doing everything you do.

As long as you use the right code words and whip up enough hatred and xenophobia people will ignore their lying eyes and give you their support to gently caress over the targets.

I see kinda what she's going for is to appear impartial and go "Look we'll investigate this because obstruction of justice is kinda important, and we should investigate EVERY kind of it and not just when it hurts the other side"

What the republican base will see is either a) "SEEE SEEEEE LYNCH BAD RAWR LYNCH LYNCH LOCKER UP, forget about russia/etc fake news" or B)" LOCKER UP SEE DONALD TRUMP DIDN'T DO NUFFIN!"

The referendum was non-binding and apparently boycotted by the Puerto Ricans that wanted to stay independent, so turnout was really, really low and the vote didn't mean much.

Also, brace for Megyn Kelly interviewing Alex Jones, for some reason.

The lowest historical turnout on a non-binding referendum. This also marks the second time statehood won.
