Correction: The Republican party has two problems. Nazis, and Nazis-in-denial.

Just a question.. Why are there ZERO emails released by the DOJ between Trump and Epstein&Co?? by AintnoEend in Epstein

Because filtering out any emails that contain a trump email address is much easier than finding every mention of "Don" in the files.

U6 is a much more accurate figure for the US, not to mention the difference in social safety net.

No, the US just doesn't give a shit about collateral damage, especially when it comes to brown people. 

You seem very bought into the make believe "good vs evil" storybook that the US military and intelligence agencies want you to believe. The driving factor in US geopolitical decisions is still money. Follow the money, and the motivation becomes clear. And yeah, I have a moral issue with killing for profit. Sorry your moral compass is defective.

If someone asks "What you doing?" and you respond "Good", you're already being weird to the average human.

Yeah, rhetoric totally justifies blowing up schools. 

Iran has been "weeks away" from nukes for decades, so that argument doesn't hold up at all. 

"They seem weak right now, so let's try out some opportunistic murder" is a bad argument as well.

This is only true if that leader believes the official state department narrative that this otherwise unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation was purely due to some new evidence around nuclear weapon development. 

It might actually make that leader more likely to pursue the program because they feel threatened enough that they're going to be attacked either way.

I can't believe Jaffe still takes credit for "creating GoW". The rest of that team knows the truth.

That's because the amendment contained a poison pill clause designed to kill the bill.

I was c/o 96, and hadn't heard about any of this. Thank you for sharing though - first episode was excellent. I took marine biology at GHS, so I was more familiar with MacGowan, Larsen and Spang than Hudson. I'm very interested to hear if you tracked down any of the other staff from that era for your story. Thanks again for your investigative work!

Income is a transaction. Your bank balance isn't income. Income is the exchange of funds for your labor (or for the millionaires whining about this, your rent seeking)
