US cable news sucks rear end and and pretty much point cameras at Trump for the lowest effort per viewer, but the Australian fires prominently featured while the Brazil and Russia fires were footnotes to that.

yeah, sorry friend
how about we just go for target market and say that fancy, frilly poo poo is advertised to rich people while simpler, less needlessly ornate, and quickly recognazible designs are aimed at the rest of us, but go too far and you get Meh branded crap from marketers who thought it was the branding and not the price that attracted millenials because obviously if Daria didn't give a poo poo, neither did our generation, and completely missed the fact that the Gilded was a result of the petit bourgeois embracing and romanticizing superficial aesthetics nd not advertisers hacking their brains?

Osama Bin Laden's burial at sea.

quote:

The spying game wasn't all it was cracked up to be for Craig Monteilh, a convicted criminal recruited by the FBI to investigate the march of radical Islam into Southern California. His endless talk of violent "jihad" so alarmed worshippers at the local mosque, that they took out a restraining order against him.

Monteilh spent 15 months pretending to be Farouk al-Aziz, a French Syrian in search of his religious roots. He prayed five times a day at the Islamic Centre in Irvine, Orange County, wearing white robes with a camera hidden in one of its buttons, and carried a set of car keys that contained a secret listening device.

The enthusiastic attempt to catch local Muslims discussing terror campaigns backfired, however, when community leaders went to the police with fears that the suddenly devout young man, who got up to pray at 4am, had become a radical in their midst.

The terror case Monteilh had been helping build against Ahmadullah Niazi, the brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden's bodyguard, collapsed in September, when the bungling informant revealed that his FBI handlers had instructed him to entrap his potential target and told him that "Islam is a threat to our national security".

That reminds me. If you would have told me in the aftermath of 9/11 that the US would provide weapons to Al-Qaeda like 10 years later I would have assumed you were completely insane. Remember when Al-Qaeda were the bad guys lol.

just remembered that the democrats

1. Did NOT impeach trump for using the presidency to get money. There's an entire part of the constitution that says the president can't use the presidency to get money. Yeah it has a dumb old timey name, but it's a simple idea. They just don't care

2. impeached trump for getting dirt on joe biden, who will hindenberg in the general. failed to get any votes except romney, lol
