I like the part where Turnbull has to repeatedly tell Trump that the Boston Bombers are not boat people. gently caress, he is dumb. Also whining about the START treaty?  We all gonna die.

It's also the reason why federal prosecutors have an insanely high conviction rate. They don't bring indictments forward unless they are certain they have you dead to rights.

So you know how for years you'd get far-left people screaming about how Madeleine Albright and Clinton were war criminals for enforcing the UN Sanctions against Saddam Hussein and Iraq because it resulted in half a million children dying? Well turns out Saddam was full of poo poo and was doctoring child mortality reports to garner sympathy in hopes of getting the sanctions lifted as well as giving the West a black eye. Saddam Hussein said sanctions killed 500,000 children. That was “a spectacular lie.” Though the other side of the coin is that U.S. claims that the invasion and lifting of sanctions improved child mortality are false. The invasion and subsequent events have caused the mortality rate to get worse.  all around.

Fun reading material, but this story gave me a chuckle. Japan and Germany to jointly develop military technologies

I had a recruiter walk up to me as I left my old apartment building. He started out by asking how long I had been out for and if I ever wanted to get back in. I told him I was never in (I'm guessing either my haircut or my paracord bracelet led him to think I was prior service), and being confused, asked him if he was working at Walter Reed or something. "Nope, just I'm a recruiter. I work up the road." Maybe it worked on someone once

Also someone brought up that a search warrant requires probable cause to be issued. So that's also kind of a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

True, but like facialimpediment and M_gargantua said, the fact we're just hearing about it now is telling for multiple reasons. Also, that it happened the day AFTER he gave the Senate intel committee a bunch of docs.

Popehat did a good write up on federal search warrants. https://www.popehat.com/2017/08/09/we-interrupt-this-grand-jury-lawsplainer-for-a-search-warrant-lawsplainer/ TLDR: The reason feds get the majority of search warrants submitted approved, is that federal prosecutors tend to have high standards for even bringing one to a magistrate.

I can't remember what documentary I saw it in, but it reminds me of some financial analyst who said that when he first heard about 9/11 happening he asked himself "Oh, I wonder what the price of gold is right now?" I'm still gonna put money into my retirement accounts either way, but the last thing I care about if WW3 kicks off is "Hmmm, I wonder if I diversified enough".

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:Yeah I agree though and while the cult of personality around Mattis for instance is pretty eyerollworthy, he has a reputation for not being an idiot, getting close to what's going on, leading men in combat. I think it's half ironic, half idiots that just hear the "tears in my eyes" and "Have a plan" quotes and go from there. Pretty sure the later half would be disappointed if they actually sat down with him and tried to have a conversation with him thinking it would be "MAN ISN'T WAR JUST SO loving AWESOME?"
