Btw I am okay with antifa beating the poo poo out of nazis I just think as a politician you should say "be nonviolent when protesting nazis because any other approach is inappropriate" even if you don't mean it.

Which is probably a message that any half-competent person with more than a room temperature IQ, or at the very least not a moth-eaten cloth for brains, could craft.

Donald J Trump is not that person.

He is instead going to be a dog that circles back around to his own vomit in an effort to prove to the lying main stream fake news media that when they just played his own words on video they were wrong and now, "you look at really what's happened since Charlottesville, a lot of people are saying and people have actually written, 'Gee, Trump might have a point.' "

This quote coming basically out of the blue on Air Force One about three sentences after he mentions how his meeting with Tim Scott went and with no question having been asked about Charlottesville. He was asked how that meeting went, and welp there you have it.

Norks sent another missile above Japan again, likely in response to the new UN sanctions. There were reports yesterday about mobile missile launchers being moved into place, so not a *huge* surprise, but odd that they again sent one over Japan.

There's only so much you can learn from shooting one straight up and back down, and to test out their long range stuff they either have to shoot it over Japan or the Philippines or China or Russia :ducksiren:

So it was pretty much the same flight profile as last time. 6:59am local launch time, 17 minute flight, about 3700km downrange. Overflew the island of Hokkaido. Not really odd that they flew over Japan again, even without arming or doing an actual capabilities test its still an aggressive posture that makes the Japanese citizenry "cower" as far as juce is concerned.

e; 3700km range, 2000km was "east of japan", early reports from SK was 700km apogee.

It's more an attempt to bring in primary sources of history rather than an endorsement of Manning. A "visiting fellow" isn't going to have any real responsibility over students or curriculum, more likely she will give some lectures and answer questions - that's a legitimately cool opportunity for any student studying journalism, the history of the the war on terror, etc. Being able to get first-hand access to historically relevant people and their motivations is a selling point. It's the same reason they gave the same position to Spicer - being able to provide direct access to these sorts of figures is one of the draws of going to an Ivy and a way to flex their prestige.

Both of these. I was glad, like AreWeDrunkYet said, to have someone her as a primary source be there for students but thought it a bit sanctimonious of Pompeo considering he's a pro-torture guy.

The only thing I found to be even more obnoxious is the number of idiots on Twitter and such falling over themselves to say Manning's leaks didn't result in anyone being directly harmed as a result so anyone condemning her or her actions is warmonger or wrong :downs:

Totally agree though that the deputy director leaving Harvard over it is dumb and I see the value in having Manning at Harvard, but loving lol at people who place her on a pedestal and pretend her actions can't be subject to any kind of criticism.
