I think it is extremely cool though, and it would be amazing if we could eradicate HIV and AIDS entirely through gene therapy.

at the same time theyll want to use this to cure the 'gay gene'

The Sinclair network is very, very Trump-friendly and could easily start up a new network to be the even wingnuttier Fox News, sort of like how One America Network is now.

But for newsy stuff, the Defense Department is now forcing service academy college athletes to serve at least two years before going pro.

Nah, that's so last decade. Electroshock therapy can cause measurable, physical harm to people and that gets all messy with lawsuits and stuff. The current hotness for fixing 'the gay' is psychological torture rebranded as Gay Conversion Therapy. Fortunately our vice president is such a vocal and outspoken opponent of that kind of thing that there's nothing to worry about.

There's something I've never understood about Donnie. It seems like everyone around him takes on his characteristics for lying and boasting and all that poo poo, yet nobody ever tells him to go gently caress himself. Even his rich-as-gently caress cabinet members are sounding like him and I just don't understand why.

https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/859156595816714240

Like seriously, what makes you, a dude worth a legit $2.5B, suddenly take on the Trumpian characteristic of referring to the Syrian strike as after-dinner entertainment in front of a group of people, and you're the loving Commerce Secretary?

What about Donnie brainwashes the people close to him?

Because in the Trump administration you can be a vile person and just point at the man on top and say, "well I'm just fitting in".

Odds are the dude is actually that hosed up (rich chickenhawks usually are) but in the Trump white house he won't have anyone call him on that poo poo.

Also, if everyone here isn't familiar with Congressional structure, there is a job, below Majority/Minority Leader, called the Whip. It's the Whip's job to count all the votes before the votes happen and twist arms accordingly to get the majority of votes needed.

Apparently the House has a team of Republican Whips and they're responsible for getting the votes together for a new AHCA vote. There's a problem though...

Don't hate me because I'm cute
I participated in an awesome seminar today - this Canadian guy had been radicalized in his late teens and went over to Syria to support ISIS. He was a supporter, not a combatant. After being there for a while he realized it was BS and he returned to Canada and offered to help their Intel services. He provided some excellent insights into what drives people to support ISIS and how they can be de-radicalized. He was very animated and funny and did a great 1 1/2 hour presentation. Since it was a VTC (I'm working in Charlottesville VA and the talk was at DIA HQ in DC) it was amusing to see the reaction shots of the crowd during the presentation - lots of scowls. "This dude was an ISIS scumbag...why is he here?" Overall, good insights into a dangerous ideology and some tips on how to fight it. I like my job. I'm not a CT guy (most of my experience in in counterproliferation/nuclear stuff) but this session got me smart on some interesting stuff.

Oh yeah, for the guy who asked me for more information on the NK nuclear issue, I served 3 years as the Chief of the WMD Intelligence Cell in USFK, so I'm pretty dialed in to all things NK nuclear. They got em, just need to get good at getting them to us.
