Pretty impressive that through this entire scandal and press blitz, RFK Jr. hasn't lost focus on his life's work of shortening the life expectancy of the average American and endangering the lives of children.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, served in a CIA-backed Afghan force unit, known as the β€œZero Units.”

His unit mate said Lakanwal sought help from a CIA program designed to aid unit veterans.

We need to get rid of administrative judges as in immigration, SEC, tax, etc., and make them all Article III judges

These are screenshots from an actual DHS press release that just went out offering "self-deportation" as a "gift" to "illegal aliens" this holiday season.

This administration is truly repugnant.

If I thought the Birds could recruit Reich to come back as OC next year I would be all over that. I just think it's too late in the season to make that kind of leadership change and expect it to work.

But bringing a guy in cold after 12 games is almost guaranteed to fail. I don't like it, but I don't see where the Birds have any alternative at this point to riding it out with Patullo.

Reminder that things got *worse* after swapping out Desai for Patricia in 2023...

I don’t think it’s necessarily great that the CIA operated Afghan military squads but we certainly did do so and we made commitments to those people and we failed to keep faith with at least our moral responsibilities in this case.

Patullo, but also:
1) O line has regressed immensely
2) Saquon lost some of his burst
3) Hurts has not played well lately, and he needs to run more
4) I think Brown was more affected by that preseason hamstring injury than he was letting on

Ted Cruz apparently renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014, otherwise this might be awkward.

I wonder if Cuba would claim him as a citizen (guess that would apply to Rubio too...).

Star Trek II Wrath of Khan - Reliant Vs Enterprise; First Clash 1080p

Great scene, but this is my favorite one from the movie:

Aside: it was silly that Khan wouldn't have understood "three-dimensional thinking" in combat. Air wars were A Thing during his life on Earth...

I found Curb to be mostly amusing in small doses. I've probablt seen 2-3 episodes for most seasons, and that was enough for me

Will Trump bother to pardon him?

Maybe. It's why I asked if we knew which person asked that sham questions

Yeah, I considered air quotes on that too. Didn't know if the person was from one of the right wing misinfo/disinfo outlets, or a more mainstream media org...

JUST IN: Adm. Bradley gave the order for the 2nd strike on  Venezuela boat, WH Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt says during briefing.

Says Bradley was within legal right to order the second strike.

So: WH not disputing the second strike, but is disputing Hegseth gave "kill" order.

It's worth reiterating that the White House has *confirmed* that Admiral Bradley committed this crime.

According to them, he is specifically responsible for this crime, not the Secretary of Defense, but they think the crime was fun and good. The question now is if he will need a pardon.

Do we know which reporter served up that terrible "question"?

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.

Both were later sentenced to life in prison!
