    Pizzagate. Plus, Ex-FBI Undercover Agent Bob Hamer |357|

    Hi David Malf referenced this link: https://justpaste.it/18t8f It is a deep dive, and does unnecessarily ridicule, while being a little too sociological when it comes to classifying artistic taste, but stay with it as it is a solid summary of context (your second point). I think I have...

    Surgeon says his upcoming Head Transplant will kill Religion

    Gosh, quite mind (if not head) blowing. I wonder what the chances of success stand at and how the procedure is viewed by peers. If successful, would it not be a potential treatment for any number of presently terminal conditions ... or even the possibility of life extension for elderly, wealthy...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    Forget the deep state, this article bells the cat and gives us a look at the goods ... while happily weighing in (that's a pun) on the whole, sticky mess.

    Conceded! Tho, it may be classic trump flexibility, haha. I wonder if he can get Airforce One through the drive thru? Steve may be able to give a technical opinion.

    The Donald Trump Thread

    I'm afraid it's not diet, Hurm! From Trump tweet dated October 15, 2012: "I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke." All that sugar may explain where all the "very very's" come from .... even "the many people say," but probably not the, "someone said".

    The Donald Trump Thread

    Another perspective, from an analyst I consider ruthlessly frank and have followed for some time: David Kilcullen: David Kilcullen is a former lieutenant-colonel in the Australian Army and was a senior adviser to US general David Petraeus in 2007-08, when he helped to design the Iraq war...

    Let's add North Korea to the mix, K-pop style. Warmonger, or just a very big whoopee cushion?

    Alex Jones' Apology for #PizzaGate Comments

    Well, by your words you stand condemned. The "ignorant hate" is rather thick on the ground.

    Alex Jones' Apology for #PizzaGate Comments

    "In December 2016 we disassociated ourselves from the “Pizzagate” claims and theories, a position we reiterated last month after being contacted by Mr. Alefantis ....... To my knowledge today, neither Mr. Alefantis, nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking as...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    The (lightly) edited transcript of the Time interview leads me to conclude Trump is incoherent, insecure and delusional. I truly thought it was satire until realising it was not.

    Jan Irvin of Gnostic Media and Holocaust Denial

    I find 'follow the data' only as credible as the data's source. To be blunt, a great many primary sources make shit up. Most often to feel special in a world where special is valued. I find it disconcerting that the orthodox perspective is often associated with an agenda and immediately...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    Martha Joynt Kumar, a political science professor at Towson University in Maryland who specializes in White House communication, said press gaggles normally are “accessible to everyone.” New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet said in a statement: “Nothing like this has ever happened at the...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    Hurm, to call anywhere a 'rape capital' and then morally impoverish EU migrant policies and then to accuse all contrary positions as 'lying' is in my book a travesty of sense and reason. Farage goes on to speak (surprise surprise) of, “And there is a Swedish media that frankly just doesn’t...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    And now Nigel Farage jumps in with a truly disgusting slur and appalling appeal to fallacy to support it .... “Malmo in Sweden is the rape capital of Europe due to EU migrant policies. Anyone who says there isn’t a problem is lying to you.” What has become of sense and debate when buffoons...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    Nice post, Jim. I fear Trump is working from a far less noble playbook that thrives on fear, division and an exaggerated sense of "mess" and "carnage". The point, of course, is to present himself as the solution .... "Don't worry, we're going to fix it." Condemning the press as the enemy of the...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    Huh?! Max, you seem oddly disconcerted. I have no issue with Trump's win; Trump does! He seems incapable of representing it without resort to gross exaggeration and lies. My closing point references this juvenile habit. If you are naive enough to think this is not a grave concern within his...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    At best, and without previous (read daily) form, we might put it down to carelessness. The quote Ian has given occurs in the Q and A and was in response to this statement in the opening monologue: "We got 306 because people came out and voted like they've never seen before so that's the way it...

    From qz.com - Phil Angelides was chairman of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission from 2009 to 2011, created by the US Congress to investigate the causes of the crisis. Angelides got to see the impacts up close: He oversaw 700 witness testimonies and public hearings from Miami to...

    The Donald Trump Thread

    I read you are in business, Max. I was, too. How do you imagine our clients and suppliers would respond to us if we negotiated the Trump way, "Just to let you know, before we begin, it's me first, me first ... oh, and did you know how successful I am." In a long career I have met one or two a...
