Not even the first time HCS was hosed with by the chief executives.. ask Valerie Plame about that.

Flynn is a bigger security threat than Trump unless Trump gets re-elected.

I’m convinced Flynn has committed straight up treason. Like full blown. I have nothing concrete to show for this theory, but poo poo feels right.

Flynn took $300k from Erdogan to kidnap gulen and illegally extradite him to Turkey. Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI about this to keep his large adult son from being charged with crimes. When he started loving with his guilty plea, they should have brought charges against his son.

He’s also the person who primarily pushed Trump for martial law poo poo. You’re 100% right.

Considering the insanely poo poo early childhood he had, I’m happy all he did was property theft and he gave money for animal care, so seems like an okay…oh he endorsed trump when he got it. :(

Still at least he didn’t murder a bunch of people like he was doing a Hitman kill everyone challenge and everyone who got robbed was all covered by insurance and the like.

That baggage handler who stole a large plane from SeaTac airport and flew around a major city including a packed stadium for more than an hour before going into the water seems to have been pushed out of headlines fast. Not to get too :tinfoil: but probably don’t want to remind folk that an untrained guy could have a plane with little effort and we were lucky he wasn’t filled with rage. Or that a big part of his motivation was how he was being paid very low, as that airport has a reputation for screwing over workers.

Former American Spy Jonathan Pollard Withdraws Ayelet Shaked Endorsement

Former Jewish American spy Jonathan Pollard withdrew his endorsement of Ayelet Shaked, the chairwoman of the right-wing Zionist Spirit party, on Tuesday evening, less than a day after declaring that the former Justice and Interior Minister would “safeguard both our core interests and our honor.”

In a statement to the right-wing Arutz Sheva news site, Pollard explained that “after the things I said regarding Ayelet Shaked this morning, it became clear to me that she refuses to remove Yoaz Handel from her list and to commit that she will only join a right-wing government. This raises a real concern that she will once again transfer votes from the right to the left. Therefore, I retract my support for her.”

In response to Pollard’s retraction, Shaked stated that the “poison machine that was directed at him from the moment he announced his support for me put Jonathan in an impossible situation and I am glad that he got himself out of the eye of the storm. For a "hero of Israel" like Pollard "deserves to be at the heart of the consensus and not become a target in the toxic discourse of Israeli politics.”

Oh, OK.

One of the first indications to me that Biden had potential was this:

quote:

"President Obama was considering clemency, but I told him, ‘Over my dead body are we going to let him out before his time,’" Biden said. “If it were up to me, he would stay in jail for life.”
Biden allegedly made the statement during a meeting with rabbis in Boca Raton, Florida last week, when asked by one of the rabbis why Pollard had not been released.

I was thinking of that one specifically a few times. Biden was and still is 100% right.

It’s always worth mentioning the Casper Weinberger said that he should’ve been shot. Regardless of your opinions about him, it does comment on the gravity of what Pollard did quite well.
