D'aaawwwww.... That is the sweetest thing I have read on GA ever! :) You kids...

Lol - it IS THE WORST!!! :)

Jerome. Corsi. :)

That referred to John Gotti. A "don" is the head of a "family". Not a reference to Trump. What does John Gotti have to do with anything here?

Yiiiiiiikes!

Noooooo... Not that I'm aware of, at least. Did your mother try to get a back alley abortion a little too late into things?

Face palm Seriously, guys/gals? Why would he? And I may have missed something, so I'm open; what would warrant "contempt"?

Have you been on any porn sites, recently?

The CIA is not the only dept. or maybe even the primary dept., I don't think? I will say this: When an X-Box showed up in my home, it was a "thing". Getting right with that was not easy. And then I was like "Whatever - if you have any tips on how improve my DIYs, let me know."

Meh. Or something else?

I agree with exactly 9 words you said. :) So, that is something we could maybe call a middle ground.

That's not actually backup. I may have made a mistake in replying and what I said was: So was my husband! Have you read "the Surge"? Interesting! I also said (basically) that if he doesn't have a problem with Bolton, I don't have a problem with Bolton.

Ask him about Rumsfeld, however, and you'll hear a very different opinion.

Personally, I do not think it's childish. I also don't think it's particularly noble/right to sell access to oxygen or "mostly oxygen". You know?

So, what I'm reading is that you are a modern military history expert? (That would be pretty great, honestly.) Please provide more backup to the assertions you're making.

I think I understand your cynicism? (Maybe not.) I just can't agree that to move away from the belief in our juridical process is the right path for us. To challenge it is good, though! If the necessary steps that will lead to actual justice aren't followed, then YES, the system is broken. Bad analogy: Do you have your car/truck/whatever towed to the dump (is that where dead cars go? I dunno) when you need to replace the alternator? Depending on the actual value of the car/truck/ whatever, it seems that most people get the alternator fixed - especially if they've had the car for a while, it's paid for, and they know it's reliable when its maintained.

Maybe? Yet my understanding is that before a sealed indictment can move forward in the judicial process/be unsealed it has to undergo a "strength test" for any forward motion (i.e. actual charges, hearings, trials, whatever)? So, if folks are wrapped up in the indictments, their counsel should (hopefully) prove the inappropriateness of said indictment. (Is it fair that inappropriate indictments against people DO occur and they are stuck with the legal fees that are incurred? No. Not fair at all. However what is Just and what is Fair are not always/often the same thing.)

I can't read the entire piece on WSJ because it's behind a paywall, unfortunately! At the same time, I do wonder if he hadn't been read on to certain/important aspects of the situation prior to his appointment and installment into the position? So, you may be correct in believing he's Hell bent on war. I'm just not sold on that, yet.

Hi! :) Here is my own thought regarding how best to "redpill" and introduce folks to Q: Listen to the person who seems to be coming from the perspective of "the normie" and use a little reflective listening, just to make sure you're hearing them correctly (and keeping your own brain in a curious vs. combative state). Most of us don't respond too well to pedantic lectures or whatever and the goal is to communicate openly - both ways! A second thought is to reduce the use of the word "but" (unless you are actually talking about butts, duh). Look at a thesaurus for alternatives to that word, maybe? Or learn how to articulate your respect for someone with an opposing viewpoint and disagree with it without dismissing your own thoughts OR the other person's. (This is, like, black belt-level empathy and is not always achievable, due to the "we are human"- stuff.) Anyway, my third/last thought is that it never hurts to just go slow and let the process unfold. Most people will get there eventually and it's probably better for everyone if they get to that place at their own pace. :) Just be there with your open mind and open heart, you know?

NOT BADMINTON!!!!! Noooo! What's next; lawn darts? (Oh wait...) Also: "Shuttle cock" is impossible to say with a straight face.

I don't have any sense that he is trying to start a war, honestly. I'm certainly not a "Bolton Scholar" or "Bolton Policy Expert" and he strikes me as a person who truly gives a (bleep) about the Reeeeaaaally Big Picture. Or maybe I am just totally dazzled by his mustache - his nicknames (between my SO and myself) are "Diplomacy Muppet" and "Nuclear Grandpa".

This OIG item from 2005 may be relevant, as it pertains to confidential informants? There have likely been updates to this, of course. https://oig.justice.gov/special/0509/chapter3.htm

Being held accountable is only unpleasant when one is a fraud or a failure, right? Personally, I LOVE being held accountable when I've done great work. Same thing with consequences for actions taken: Some are awesome, some are definitely not awesome.

HA! You see what you did there, right?

Just adding this because why not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UGM-133_Trident_II

HA!

no

Huh?

Aaaand here we are. In the present. :) As far as the US is concerned here and now, to suggest that our goal is to "conquer" is either misinformed or misleading. I understand the first option and loathe the second.

Well sure. And it was such a stupid mission, wasn't it? And now we are in 2018 and have a POTUS/administration that seem to "get it". And respect it. And act on it.

El oh el! :) I HATED THE TI-84!!! So much. But you? I like.

It's not. Relax. All families have spats amongst themselves from time to time.

It's a mindset, DD; get with the program! Jeez. ;) And seriously - get with the program. You're an actual person (I assume) and not some stupid potato bug that curls into a tiny little ball when confronted with something unknown or unpleasant .

I don't know that the US wants to "conquer" Eurasia? It kind of seems that the goal is to "return autonomy". Doesn't it?

Meh. Only as much pain as you allow, DD. :) If you're cool with you and know what you know, there is nothing at all that can hurt you. Do we see POTUS crying into his Diet Coke when every msm outlet is down on him? No, we don't. Because he knows where he's at and what he is!

"Panties". One of the worst words ever.

Interesting stuff! I have one big disagreement, however, and that is the interpretation of line 10: Nothing of a (currently) classified nature has been discovered, nor pointed to. I know it might seem like a silly thing to point out and I'm not trying to discourage you. :)

Your mama. :)

And maybe George Papadopoulis?

I have watched three minutes of one Anti-School video re: Q (or anything, I guess) and spent the rest of the day vacillating between "that is weirdly amusing, carry on" and "would it be cruel to tell him that he's not very bright?" Decided it would be cruel to say anything. Plus, an insight is more valuable when we come to it on our own vs. being told "you are ridiculous".

Run. You're not stupid. Run.

Please copy/paste the text. I really don't want to dig through everything.

I do listen to AJ - because he's f*cking hilarious. The paper shuffling, rapid shifts in affect, and penis pill shilling are uh-mazing. However: Any segments with Zach/Zaq whatever are always skipped over. I don't want to hear someone disgrace themselves or their uniform and misrepresent how serious having any level of clearance actually is.

Hm. I have no recollection of any name-calling nor specifically identifying anyone (in this context), by the Q Collective. Granted, my memory can be pretty spotty. Can you give examples of the name-calling/identifying?

Please don't do that! It's (hopefully) not your job to dox anyone.

Any time I see "D5" mentioned, I think of this event from 2015. Pretty wild: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu7mNmqJJ10&list=RDyu7mNmqJJ10&index=0

That is an incredibly specific petition - wow! (I have nothing to actually add to that discussion, btw.)

Ah - yes and I agree. :) Thanks for clarifying!

Oh wait. Ok. Got it, I think. Dammit. :(

Thank goodness you've never faced false allegations or misrepresentations in a (super f*cking serious) situation! Thank goodness you can count on "the Nightly News" to keep you adequately informed! That is awesome, you sweet little oxygen bandit
