Nah that's a misread. That guy is a VOA reporter that covers the White House. Donnie's going to record one of those hostage videos again, but he's trying to figure out where to host it, since he has no social media.


Basically an American-funded news network tailored to overseas audiences. The idea is that it's an independent US agency that blasts out news reports of what we're doing - kind of to show other countries "how to do it". It's arguably propaganda at its best, but Donnie morphed it into full-blown propaganda recently.

Stephen Miller.

For an example of an odd mix or how to tell, his statement announcing sanctions over Hong Kong was mostly good (as good as you can with him saying it) and mostly written Matthew Pottinger, and then takes are hard pivot to shitsville and it’s clear that Miller did that.

You didn’t miss much. Somehow he’s even worse when he’s trying to be “presidential” and reading off a teleprompter than he is when he’s the freewheeling demented racist uncle.

Also was it some weird compression artifact or did he look like he was speaking in front of a green screen to anyone else?

I instinctively turn the volume down because I don’t want my neighbors to even think for a second that I’m listening to that turd because I support him.

Edit: I doubt they could even hear it at normal volume but I’m paranoid like that.

Was just taking out trash in my apt and downstairs neighbor was in his national guard uniform loading bags in his car. I wonder if the WA state guard got called up? I hadn't seen anything in the news.

He may be getting called up for State Active Duty given that there's talk of attacks on all 50 state capitols.

Sucks for them but I am not super surprised - Redstone Arsenal is where a lot of the Army's space work is done out of, MDA is there, as well as Marshall Space Flight Center. I visited there a couple of years ago and it didn't seem that bad (for Alabama, anyway - compared to, say, Montgomery, which has nothing going for it). Not as pretty as the Springs though, that's for sure.

I remember mentioning that people seemed to hate him a lot less then in 2016/2017 and people said that they felt it wasn’t really his fault. I’m not trying to gotcha anyone or anything, I just seem to recall it in the back of my head.

It’s also funny that Barr kept the Hunter thing under wraps the entire election.

I slept on nonskid with a poncho under my head in a hangar bay on a ship once or twice. Yes it shredded my uniform in fun ways that were only discovered when I washed it and it looked like a cat had clawed the gently caress out of it.

I could understand why he sandbagged Hillary after his explanation when he gave it.

Through hindsight I want him to go gently caress himself for everything.

It would be unconstitutional for capitol police to stop them from entering because something they had with them. The house can absolutely institute rules to regulate conduct of its members, though.

Guns have been illegal on the House floor for a very long time, it's just never been enforced. My guess is that it falls under the usual thing - Congress makes laws, so the House can set its own rules for how it functions.

It's an interesting question though!
