Honestly I think Trey Gowdy might be an ok supreme court pick and certainly the least awful name I've heard floated so far. He's legitimately sharp as hell, can tell when he sucks at a job and needs to step out, and called the Nunes memo out as the wet fart it was.

Also five-time Forensic Files guest star so he's got the reality tv connection working for him.

Dude's clearly a sperglord who hates the collaboration and soft power aspects of legislating and saw an opportunity to turn being a congressman back into the hard nosed prosecutor role he enjoys, then like any addict went to the most extreme lengths necessary to stay on the ride.

https://thinkprogress.org/trump-asked-aides-why-we-cant-just-invade-venezuela-d49701fe6dc9/amp/


quote:

Last August, Trump was finishing off a meeting in the Oval Office to discuss new sanctions against Venezuela. At the end of the talks, Trump shocked aides and senior administration officials by bluntly asking why can’t the U.S. just invade the country.

In an exchange that lasted about five minutes, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson — who were both stunned by the suggestion — pushed back against the idea, according to the Associated Press. They explained that military action would likely alienate Latin American governments who were working together to punish and ostracize Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

...

But Trump’s obsession with invading Venezuela didn’t end there. He also raised the issue with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, according to two high-ranking Colombian officials who spoke to the AP under the condition of anonymity.

Then, in September, he discussed the issue again with Mr. Santos and three other Latin American leaders at a private dinner after the U.N. General Assembly. “My staff told me not to say this,” Trump said, before going around the table asking Latin American leaders if they were all sure that the U.S. shouldn’t invade. All said they were.

The chief of Scotland Yard posted:

“I do want to reassure the public, however, that there is no evidence that either the man or woman recently visited any of the sites that were decontaminated following the attempted murders of Sergei and Yulia Skripal.”

That is literally the opposite of reassuring. How is this not casus belli?

thinking about how much those barrels weigh and how many are stacked in there on what is basically 80 year old wooden pallet rack it's amazing this doesn't happen more often.

I thought they'd allow salvage for a minute but thinking about it a little more it's a mountain of wood rubble and wood barrels of rocket fuel soaked in who knows how much of itself that spilled. The OSHA move is to back the gently caress up and toss some fire arrows.

gently caress. I'm being dead loving serious here, id the rescue op gets those kids out alive, I'd reconsider my atheism, because it will take devine intervention to get them all out.

The most heartbreaking thing that I thought of is that the rescuers arw going to have to triage the kids to determine the order of rescue. Can you imagine being in that situation? Not only do you have all that technical poo poo to get to them, but now you have to decide the order of execution, because in reality, that's what you are doing. gently caress.
