Yes, Virginia - the FBI really does do crimes & counterintelligence, not just rubber stamping gov job applications.
And no, Virginia, you're not allowed to blow smoke up the ass of those "men in black" or they could put you away for a very long time.
@emptywheel@BarbMcQuade "The most significant omission in Lake’s essay is his argument that FBI lacked predication for interviewing Flynn. His argument completely ignores the FBI’s counterintelligence mission & baselessly attacks legitimacy of investigating Flynn’s potential criminal conduct." @EliLake
@Arnold78459Doug@RealAshlar Robert/Arnold/Doug - do you remember Obama handling the 2008 economic crash that Bush left him with?
Did that require "mental faculties" wherever he was born (Hawaii)?
Took him 2 years to pass Obamacare cuz Congress kept blocking him, but GOP hasnt found an alternative in 15yrs?
@RealAshlar Who do you think cleaned up best after a wacko Republican?
a. Clinton balanced budget, held Hussein 8yrs w/o war, child healthcare
b. Obama handled Bush crash, nursed economy back to health 8yrs, expanded healthcare
c. Biden led world Covid effort, calmed inflation
d. Next sucker
@WalshFreedom Our history combines rugged individualism with collectivism - capitalism mixed with enlightened (not blinkered) socialism.
Social Security, Medicare, public schools, parks & forests, emergency response (FEMA), national weather service, NASA, ACA, yes even the military - socialism
@emptycab@MeidasTouch You left out the people who risk their lives & reputation to give evidence in these cases, and then find the subjects pardoned & in revenge mode.
It promotes the attitude of "keep quiet unless you're one of the perps"
@daddyhope The story of boiling lobsters reaching up to grab ones trying to escape is a myth.
Unfortunately it's way too common among humans.
Thanks for breaking the mold, Hopewell.
@tweykwon@1995_hanna19954@RyLiberty "Is Israel a part of Africa?
Israel stands at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. Geographically, it belongs to the Asian continent and is part of the Middle East region."
@tweykwon@1995_hanna19954@RyLiberty 4-10 million Black Africans enslaved is just "common trade of labor" - hey, you could be an honorary Southerner!

@tweykwon@1995_hanna19954@RyLiberty Huh? 600 was a Mongol-like violent spreading of Islam across N Africa, the Levant, Mideast & on to the subcontinent. I'm sure slavery was involved, but I doubt it was the main agenda as much as their later Afr slave trade. Sorry I didn't keep such 2 epic periods straight for you.
@tweykwon@1995_hanna19954@RyLiberty Ottoman Empire, colloquially known as the Turkish Empire, controlled much of SE Europe, West Asia, & North Africa between 14th & early 20th centuries. The empire also controlled southeastern region of Central Europe from 16th to late 17th century. Wikipedia

@jj284b@JulianRoepcke@BILD Czechoslovakia was occupied within days with no resistance. Nearly 2 years in for Ukraine with no significant improvements for Putin - more sabotage, more recruits... Don't see RU tanks freed up to use anywhere else. China's even reluctant to supply.
History too boring...
