Maybe this will be the impetus to bring the troops home, where they can put their training to use? :stuck_out_tongue: I realize that’s not currently permitted, which is why I’ve always been counting on PMC’s to do the dirty work…

Theory crafting. This guy is a fascinating listen.

I know that the fallout from the GameStop thing is only going to hurt consumer level investors-

But seriously, fuck hedge funds and anybody else with billion dollar short positions. “Hur dur, I’m going to bet all of someone else’s money on a wager where infinite losses are literally possible because I’m protected by bankruptcy laws and/or am ‘TOO BIG TO FAIL’”.

I hope she gets the max sentence if that’s true. I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt as a parent and innocent until proven guilty.

I like how Conway’s daughter released another video afterwards not blaming her mother and saying “I wasn’t forced to do this”

Bitch, if you feel the need to say that line, your ass WAS pretty much forced

To me it doesn’t matter what the date on the tweet is, what I think the differences between the 2020 BLM riots and Capitol riots are, or why you’re putting the lives of elected officials above those of everyday people. Months of riots by left wing idiots didn’t prompt Twitter to any kind of action yet a two hour riot by right wing idiots is a reason start purging everyone. More lives were lost in the 2020 riots, more damage was done, and yet that didn’t light a fire for them to crack down on this type of thing. How does that not look partisan or at least suspicious at best?

I’m not sure whether Kellyanne posted that picture, but something about the Conway family reminds me of the family in American Beauty and I imagine they say “fuck you” to each other pretty often somehow… :rofl:

This is a really good video that everyone should take some time to watch. Glenn talks about how the Biden Administration using a bill Adam Schiff proposed in 2019, seems bent on using the Capitol riots to establish new domestic terrorism laws (as if the laws we already have don’t do the trick) much like the Bush administration used 9/11 as a pretense for limiting people’s rights and fighting wars no one but them wated.

And in the ultimate twist, progressives like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar have written a letter to Congress to oppose it. Never thought I would agree with them on much, BUT this is going to be the 9/11 era all over again if this stuff comes to pass.

Wild. I heard recently that Milo Yiannapoulous is actually an FBI informant too. :exploding_head:
