The funny thing is that the GRU is believed to have used a fake artillery calculator app on android that would report the GPS location of the device when used, which the russian invasion forces would then use to target Ukrainian 122mm artillery.

I'm assuming that dumb cocksucker managed to install a trojan and then walked that infected device right into the oval hundreds of times not to mention if he decided to play Big Boy Doesn't Need Rules in the SCIF and brought that loving thing in there.

This is a presidency staffed top to bottom entirely by nepotism and cronyism, rife with corruption at every level, run by a dementia riddled sack of poo poo that has already been playing fast and loose with classifications at golf resorts. It was just earlier this week we found out the dumb fucks were using commercial email for government business and their response to that being made public was to use a private email server.

Hard to find numbers with the recent media attention, what's the rate of fire on bump stocks compared to full auto weapons?
Assuming the gunman was firing using a bump stock, he was firing 10 shots per second. I compared it to a youtuber firing an AR-15 with a bump stock and also got about 10 shots/second. For comparison an M4A1 on full auto does 12+ per second, so we're in the same ballpark.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

Members of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team traveled to interview the former British intelligence officer who authored a dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, a source close to the ex-spy tells NBC News.

Few other details were forthcoming about the interview, but Mueller’s interest in Christopher Steele puts a new focus on the 35-page dossier he compiled, which includes salacious sexual allegations that then-president-elect Donald Trump denied.

CNN first reported Thursday that the interview with Mueller’s team and Steele took place.

Steele, who works in the private intelligence business in London, was hired by an American firm, Fusion GPS, to compile opposition research about Trump during the election campaign. The dossier laid out the fruits of his information-gathering. Fusion GPS was co-founded by a former Wall Street Journal reporter, Glenn Simpson.

It usually won't be as fast and can't be faster, since an actual auto fires as soon as it cycles. The bump stock relies on you reseting everything, so it depends on your grip and arm strength.

I've been hearing a lot of talk from some guys I went to high school with who now work in finance and real estate. The latest worry is that if interest rates keep increasing and banks cut back on loans, we might be looking at a mini-recession in 2018 or '19.

The United States Navy is going to expand from approx 280 ships to around 325/50ish (i forget) and all of those contracts were signed under Obama, most around 2014. The Navy fell to 280 under Bush due to Republican budget cuts and sequester and all that bullshit. Trump is going to take that W for supporting our troops and expanding american power and he has dick all to do with it.

also congress hasn't passed a budget on time since 05 so god bless america and the bullshit 10% cuts then enacted across the board, reduction in ships, increased op-tempo, longer deployment and other poo poo has lead to the current situation with bullshit accidents and a general level of un-readyness ( i dont know the word) in both the USN and USAirforce that is staggering. You can't do maintenance/training/upkeep if everyone is constantly deployed and doing poo poo so no we here. Budget fuckery also really affects ship yards, project timelines and maintenance personnel, both staffing, pay and giving them something to do.

Trump endorsed the Republican candidate, Gillespie, in Virginia, basically saying the Democrat Northam supported MS-13 and sanctuary cities (Virginia doesn't have any). The race is close-ish because Northam is milquetoast as gently caress.

Still, Gillespie appears thrilled about the endorsement.

Damnit, who turned on auto-subscribe for hurricanes?!



National Weather Service posted:

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

At 400AM CDT, Tropical Storm Nate is moving toward the north-northwest
near 14 mph and is expected to continue on this general heading through
Friday and then speeding up over the Gulf. Maximum sustained winds
are now 45 mph. Hurricane and Storm Surge watches have now been issued for
much of the area.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* SURGE:
Prepare for life-threatening surge having possible extensive impacts
across coastal Louisiana and coastal Mississippi, outside of the hurricane
protection levee system.

Potential impacts in this area include:
- Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding
accentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to buildings,
with several washing away. Damage compounded by floating
debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an extended period.
- Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads
washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems and
barriers may become stressed.
- Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss.
- Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many
small craft broken away from moorings, especially in
unprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and stranded.

Elsewhere across Southeast Louisiana and South Mississippi, little to
no impact is anticipated.

* WIND:
Prepare for life-threatening wind having possible extensive impacts
across much of southeast Louisiana and coastal Mississippi.

Potential impacts in this area include:
- Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some having
window, door, and garage door failures leading to structural
damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some destroyed.
Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles. Locations may be
uninhabitable for weeks.
- Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and
roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways, and
access routes impassable.
- Large areas with power and communications outages.

* FLOODING RAIN:
Prepare for locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible
limited impacts across Southeast Louisiana and South Mississippi.

Potential impacts include:
- Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter currents.
Small streams, creeks, canals, bayous, and ditches may become
swollen and overflow in spots.
- Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in usually
vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding of water
occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds become
near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and bridge
closures.
