Any thoughts on who HRC was going to push for Scalia's spot? How about Attorney General, after Lynch took RBG's place?
Could be. That was my first thought. Or she could have put him into Loretta Lynch's spot–he definitely had a lot to hide, and would have done an excellent job of providing cover for HRC, just like he did for Obama.
Or maybe RBG's daughter. If that was the plan, RBG would definitely be in deep shit.
Why we're still in Syria
Anons, this is from a think-tank called Security Study Group:
https:// securitystudies.org/
They've put together a report detailing scenarios of what might happen if we pull out of Syria. The idea is to try to form a coalition among allied countries (as Trump alluded to before we bombed the shit out of them). The reason is that Iran has a goal of forming a "Shi'a Crescent" between itself and the Mediterranean, which would allow it to dramatically strengthen their position and possibly defend themselves against strikes that would otherwise take out their nuclear missile development.
Take a look at the report:
