Mueller is basically my grandfather at this point. No matter what happens, he has a plan for it. I'd even argue that he expected to be fired at some point, and had contingency plans drawn up on day 1.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Aren't these things a murder suicide or a jilted lover or something personal like that far more often than not? Can't think of the last time there was a targeted political murder of anyone like that even in the US. Come to think of it, it's kinda surprising more desperate people aren't shooting up board meetings or courtrooms rather than churches and classrooms. Evil is incompetent and good is too lazy to do anything.

Does anyone have any other thoughts or info on that pentagon UFO video? It seems so odd and well, not possible? Like I almost imagine the NYT got suckered into believing a video made by some buffoons in DCS.

Like I almost imagine the NYT got suckered into believing a video made by some buffoons in DCS. Politico and NYT both released the same kind of story within minutes, so someone or another was pushing out quotes "from the inside". I don't think anyone really got suckered, because it's definitely news that the Pentagon/Congress basically stashed away appropriations for a UFO fund that nobody found for over ten years, even if it was just $20m. I'm not saying that Politico and NYT were talking with each other, but something must have happened in the last few days that made people with knowledge of the fund suddenly start talking about it with media people.

The articles also state they were storing metal alloys and plastics from UFOs in sites. The guy who was running it quit recently, sparking the article, because he felt that the DoD was not spending enough money on building defenses against like, what he referred to as “numerous reports from navy and other arms of UFOs interfering with operations using beyond advanced technology” or something. What the hell.

IIRC until the next statewide election, so there would be two 2018 Senate races in Arizona (One to replace Jeff Flake, and one to serve the rest of McCain's term)

BigDave posted:Just saw a picture of McCain To be honest, I wouldn’t wish a glioblastoma on my worst enemy. It’s a horrible cancer and a pretty bad way to die. A woman I went to high school with got one, and died within six months of her diagnosis at the age of 28. The cancer robbed her of her ability to walk, left her blind in one eye, and the chemo drugs and steroids made her gain weight in weird ways, and she basically went from looking being a nearly olympic-quality athlete to a wheelchair-bound shadow of her former self. I get that McCain is a shithead and his “maverick” reputation is a figment, but if I got diagnosed with a glioblastoma, I’d be performing some brain surgery on myself with 9mm JHP before it had enough time to get really bad. No loving thanks.

Hot Karl Marx posted:Their prime minister also won the Nobel peace prize which shows how loving peaceful the poeple who win the prize are (Obama, Kissinger) There was a good article, in a magazine i dont remember, about how Western powers are so keen on the good-evil dichotomy, that when they find a power that is sen as "good" like aung in Myanmar, against the "evil" military junta, they, and the media, will overlook all messages and signs that point otherwise, aung in Myanmar definitely broadcasted messages and downplayed the buddhist violence against the rohingya even before she was elected. Its sad to read stuff like that and makes me feel sick, i really hope UN could get its poo poo together and render assistance. Bangladesh will not and cannot help all rohingya escaping Myanmar but looking at over all how the world looks like theres not much hope.

The Bangladesh/Rohingya thing is insane. My boss in the org I'm working for is there now organising for us to move in and start doing medical work and her stories and pictures are insane. Refugee camps stretching way into the jungle and a noticeable lack of women and female children. Everyone of the women seem to have rape stories to tell too. Actually if you're a doctor nurse or EMT feel free to PM me about volunteering opportunities. There's an insane need

Bangladesh will not and cannot help all rohingya escaping Myanmar Unfortunately it’s been more than just the Rohingya that have been killed, they are just the most group to be targeted. I had a NCO who was born in the Kachin region and talked about having to flee his village when he was around 10 to avoid being murdered by the Burmese Army. I’m surprised it never got more coverage when it was happening because they were all Christians and it seems like Evangelicals love having a war against their fair to rally against, and steal funds from ala Southern Sudan.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:I'd trust that Mueller got those emails legally, and the whining is just more indication that he's making Trump uncomfortable. Mueller literally just asked the GSA in a letter "hey can we have all the transition emails?" and GSA said "sure!" Trump's people didn't read the fine print that emails on the GSA server "would not be held back in any law enforcement" actions. Thus, the Trump lawyers sent a bullshit letter to Congress instead of making any semblance of a legal argument. The Trump lawyers had already been through the transition emails and eliminating those with a bullshit privilege claim, preparing to send them to Mueller later, but Mueller went right to the source. I'm sure Mueller did the usual thing where some other team had a first crack at everything to pull out the TRULY privileged stuff, but Trump's lawyers are doing the dumb political junk because it's all they got.
