One thing of note in this is this paragraph from the Post story.


Rick Ledgett is the unnamed senior NSA official and was probably reached out to to confirm the story. Certainly the article references a former NSA official, which Ledgett would have been by that time (the story dropped late May). It would be interesting given his public statements Russia Interference to know if if he did cooperate with the story.

oh you said "He was already retiring by the time the request would have happened." but i read it as he was already retired, in that he would not have been there for the event. so my bad

Any news on Christopher Wray? Remember a couple of months ago, when Trump named a replacement for Comey, four years after he fired him?

That seems like a story that just got swallowed in the turmoil.

Capt. Greg Stump, commander for Coast Guard Sector Charleston, says local, state and federal authorities are all on scene investigating the threat, and employees have been evacuated.

According to Capt. Stump, a YouTube “conspiracy theorist” has made a claim about a threat aboard a ship in the port, and authorities are investigating out of an abundance of caution.

I think the_Donald reaction to Bernie was a bit of the "mask slippage" we've been talking about. Up until now I think they've been treating him like an honest politician done wrong by the Evil Abuela, even if they don't agree with his politics.

I got into it with some rear end in a top hat today about left-wing violence. He's really got his finger on the pulse of rwm.

He told me all of the political violence in America is the fault of the left. After I explained to him that that is nonsense and bullshit, he told me all of the murders stacked up on "the left"

Including, the Dallas BLM shooter
The Baltimore dude who shot 2 new york cops
THE OREGON TRAIN GUY (Bernie Bro edition)
He then complained about poo poo like the Berkley riot, where deaths weren't a thing.

Ignoring the fact that none of those were political slayings of left vs right, the first two were retaliation against police, and the 3rd was a racist assault that ended in blood (and the guy was an avid trump supporter and white supremacist).

I then counter by enumerating all of the violent and aggressive protests of right wing militia groups, like the assholes on the bridge using their families as human shields while aiming their guns as police. Or the dipshits who took over a federal building in Oregon. Each time, using threat of force against peace officers. Then you get down to the Alexander Bisonettes, Wade Michael Pages, and Dylann Roofs of the world...

We wind our way through the conversation and he sums it up thusly: Conservative people are under attack by the left. Their assaults and shootings would continue as they had before.

I asked him, simply, "Shootings continue? What right-wing anyone has been killed by a leftist?"

... He couldn't think of ANYONE, so he just said, "I mean things would escalate!"

There's not a lot of point in debating with people who are emotionally involved and entrenched like this. The odds are long against you in changing his mind.

Whenever I debate now I try to have other people around said conversation to convince them or just talk to them directly as their minds usually aren't made up, or at least they aren't as heavily entrenched.
