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.

Good God my man. The idea is to not so subtly hint that you're doing Important Classified Work. "Oh, I'm an analyst specializing in nuclear counterproliferation" or "I research WMD Deterrence for the DoE." You don't just outright state it, where's the fun in that!?

Donnie Dumbfuck probably does believe his own bullshit about being a mega supreme ultimate best deal maker and negotiater. From day one of his life his daddies billions got him whatever he wanted, as CEO everyone in his company did what he wanted, he's had an army of lawyers ready to turbo gently caress everyone else in any contract to get what he wanted.

The narcissism just lets him think it's all due to his inherent Randian superiority instead of inherited wealth.

Trump thinking he could have out-dealed the civil war from happening is funny, but him saying that and then being unable to pass legislation with a republican congress is next level hilarious. At this point he is objectively worse at political deal making than George W Bush.

Bush had actually competent, experienced legislators and bureaucrats working for him who were dedicated to pushing his policies. The reality warping power of 9/11 and the Iraq War greased the skids for a lot of his dumb poo poo, but even in a vacuum there's no comparing a skilled political operator like Dick Cheney to a bumbling dumbfuck like Steve Bannon.

Also, don't underestimate how much the Freedom Caucus plays into the current situation vs. past unified governments.

The FC is essentially a separate entity that caucuses with the Republicans and the reason Ryan (and Boehner before him) can't get anything done is due to this split within the Republican party.

If that's the bar, she got beat by almost 100 years by Edith Wilson. When Woodrow stroked out, she more or less took over in "private meetings" with the president, and there wasn't yet an amendment that said the VP takes over when the president is incapacitated.

I happened to watch a thirty minute clip about them just yesterday by some other dude on YouTube, and those parents are monsters.

They've raised a family of psychopaths that targeted that Cody kid the worst. As it is he's gonna be seriously hosed up. If you told me that in 5 years the rest of the kids were rapists, murderers and enjoy some good old animal torture I wouldn't be shocked at all.

Donnie thinks the Continuing Resolution deal was so bad that there absolutely must be a shutdown on October 1st and the filibuster must be removed.

That's right, because Donnie is so mad at Democrats for steamrolling him, he is actually CALLING for a government shutdown in October. I'm not linking his tweets.

This all while his OMB guy says they actually got a good deal. It's been a very :psyduck: thing to watch Washington DC react when there isn't a clear set of talking points being distributed, so everyone is winging it and the White House is constantly contradicting each other.

Meanwhile, the THAAD missile defense system is up in Worst Korea, but Worst Korea is superfuckingpissed at Donnie's threat to make them pay for it, even after McMaster confirmed that the US was paying. Worst Korea was sorta on the fence about installing the THAAD system to begin with, so they're one step closed to telling Donnie to go gently caress himself.
