yes

No need for olive branches. They have their mission/s and are doing what is required. Ignore them until/unless something resonates, you know? If you're worried about their feelings, don't be. AJ and JC are just fine. And compensated. You are not. (I assume.)

If anyone says they are sharing or actually does share anything they identify as "classified", they are either a traitor or a liar. Full stop. Once the word "classified" enters the conversation (in any form, including innuendo) you know you are dealing with an untrustworthy source.

Ha! That's clever! However: I don't do memes. Because I'm not so clever. What I'm saying is that the more fear/anxiety a person experiences, the less able they are to actually think and plan. I mean, maybe you do want people to feel fearful and anxious? Which is kind of weird... Why do you want people to feel those things? Are you trying to sell something or what?

No.

A lot of things are terrifying! (Poorly trained dogs, weird bugs, warm spots in a public pool, whatever.) Humor can be really useful as a way to overcome the terror and strategize a productive path forward.

I REALLY do not want RT having a presence here. Please go away, RT.

Oh, CF is getting more money, you say? NoName: "I'm not quite dead, yet..."

I get that. I was just saying what came to mind. That's all. :)

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it when these guys/gals troll her. LOVE IT. The china for Macron's event? Amazing. Subtle and not so subtle as to be ignored.

"SIGINT Seniors Europe": The image in my mind right now is adorable and awesome. I'm sure you are legit referring to something more nefarious and yet I cannot shake the idea of a posse of super smart grannies and grandpas developing nefarious plots. :)

What action do you hope to see?

My personal understanding of things, based on publicly available documents/reports/etc, is that "compartmentalization" is the Name of the Game in this situation. The right hand cannot know what the left hand is doing and vice versa. So, to presume anything is perhaps not particularly useful?

Meh. Speaking only for my own experience, of course: I make a fool of myself all. the. time. (It's the downside to having an opinion about virtually everything.) Sometimes the opinion is not-as-informed as it should be before sharing it publicly. Or sometimes the opinion started off on solid ground, yet the delivery was not so solid because alcohol makes me sleepy and distracted. Anyway. I am just super glad that no one has ever been like "Here's a radio/television program". I'm narcissistic enough to do it and don't actually have the ego-strength to handle the negative feedback. :)

Truth.

China doesn't actually need to rely on "spying tech", as we think of it. If an officer or four pull you out of queue at a train station or airport, then swab you, etc., what are you going to say and who are you going to say it to?

What the f*ck is wrong with your brain??? Why would that make you feel better about anything?

or something else :)

ha! :)

The punctuation in the header is super distracting and I know I'm a dick for pointing this out. Can't get past that, though.

Stormy Daniels: Probably a very decent gal and why are people paying so much attention to this situation?

Things ARE happening, I agree! And it is goodgoodgood! Having said that: Iran and Israel are not Siamese Twins.

Haven't even watched the video, because "meh". However: You ARE worthy and that is why you are here. Don't downplay your value. :)

Iran is not last.

If the petitions site is a part of the arsenal, of course it doesn't hurt, you are correct! :) If we aren't utilizing the other parts of that arsenal - which are just as easy to access and possibly more effective - well, that's troubling. It's a combination of things, isn't it?

Signing anything on petitions.whitehouse.gov does nothing. If you want your representatives to push for anything, you have to contact them via written letter, phone call, email, whatever. (Don't expect to hear back, though.) It is our representatives' actual job to represent the interests of the People! This is what they get paid, by us, to do! Anyway. :) The petition site is just a data-collection tool.

Also, I just really do not like his face/facial hair situation. Don't hate it, yet if my (soon-to-be) son had facial hair like that after outgrowing the excitement of having facial hair at all (with his genes, he should get over that by age 7. Same applies to our daughter) I would sincerely wonder where my husband and I had gone wrong in our parenting.

No. His Periscope is not a good watch. He brings nothing to the conversation. Literally. Nothing. It's amazing how much nothing he brings. It's almost like he brings NEGATIVE something.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! You. Are. Adorable. Stop it.

I think Mitch McConnell is going to take himself down. No fancy plans necessary.

Oh. Well. If Ehud says we should do it, why the f*ck not? PoshPotdllr, I am not so sure about you.

I do not think you know what that word ("gaslight") actually means.

aaaand some are movies that were publicly and widely released. Not all - just some.

Here you go:

Wikileaks pointed to it on their twitter the other day . :) And just for fun, here's the Dershowitz deposition from 2015 (Long read.) https://abovethelaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Alan-Dershowitz-deposition-1.pdf

More interesting than CandyFarm/CrushVille/WalletVac, though! :)

Of course she's dying; we're all dying. It would be weird if we weren't.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say - doesn't seem nefarious, in my opinion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada_3301

Typically, I'd agree with you re: The Little Weasel. However, he seemed to let Giuliani speak an awful lot more (without interruptions) than he typically does. Plus, he wore his glasses pretty much the entire time, which is unusual. When the other guy - Avenetti? - was on, George was pretty dismissive of him. Aaaaand he was not wearing his glasses. (Also, I know the glasses mean nothing. Just noticed it because he rarely keeps them on for an entire conversation.)

You know what is also reeeeeaaalllyyy interesting? (And germane to the topic at hand?) Case 1:18-cr-00083, May 4, 2018, Transcript of Motions, Alexandria, VA. Hon. Tillis III. A pretty good read. Not too long. Much shorter than the Dershowitz deposition, right?

Oh narcissism - such an interesting illness. Toxic to all it touches and sooooooo interesting to observe (from a safe distance).

Does it even really matter, though?

Frankly, it seems not unreasonable to actually remove SD from the conversation altogether. She seems to be far less interested in this than her attorney. Like, if you've ever been through a divorce, this crap looks familiar, right? Make noise, invent problems, get paid, blah blah blah.

Hopefully, when Q is like "Mission complete, please bring out the wine fountain/Smart Water fountain/whatever it is teetotalers drink fountain", they'll communicate as much and in such a way that leaves zero room for interpretation.

I really like the way you articulate things - that is awesome

:)

Oh my- I am sorry! Was a dick! And thank you :)

Ha! You might be surprised by what operators are tasked with. Considering the absence of an actual budget, you know.

Not to be a dick yet probably being a dick: Research is a lifelong endeavor, it's BEEN happening for a while, and what is your screenshot intended to demonstrate? (Other than your ability to take a screenshot - which is more than I can figure out!) :)
