monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

There wasn't a question in your whole little brainwashed screed, Baldimo.

And your assertion is nonsense of the highest order.

You all have fled every thread on you know what, the unspeakable ... .

You are such snivelling little cowards.

There is no such thing as "specialist ratings" any longer. You are either a E4 Specialist or you are an E3 or E5, no more "ratings" between the ranks.

It's been awhile since my own separation, but I don't quite understand your message. No more specialist rating, but you're either an E4 Specialist or you're something else? How do you get to be a specialist when there are no more specialist ratings.

I say that, but then Gaddafi thought he had cut such a deal. Unfortunately for him he ran into the buzzsaw of a thoroughly unprincipled woman who engaged in what all progressives claim to abhor: Involving the US in a locally contained civil war for personal political gain. HRC needed a notch on her belt for the always planned presidential run in 2016 and was anxious to, figuratively, join the guys in the practice of what blatham affectionately refers to as "dick-swinging."

If someone makes a deal like Kadaffy did, it would be a good idea for them to at least act contrite and remorseful about past crimes, and to not perpetrate any fresh outrages.

Venezuela illegally issued 10,000 passports to Syrians, Iranians

Within the span of a year, Venezuela illegally issued at least 10,000 passports and other documents to citizens of Syria, Iran and other Middle Eastern countries in a scheme spearheaded by current Vice President Tareck El Aissami, according to a former high-ranking immigration official.

“Today we don’t know where these people are, nor what they are doing,” said Medrano, who was fired by El Aisaami and now lives in South Florida. “They could be anywhere in the world, traveling with Venezuelan documentation.

El Aissami, a powerhouse in Venezuela, has long been investigated in the United States for his alleged links to drug trafficking and to the Islamist militant group Hezbollah.

In January, he became the most senior Venezuelan official to ever be targeted by the U.S., when the Trump administration decreed sanctions against him and Samark Lopez, a wealthy Venezuelan businessman believed to be his frontman in Miami.

I am hopeful saner heads than Trump and Pence will win out in the end

Gullible Huffington Post Falls for Hoax Article Calling for White Men to be Stripped of Voting Rights

The Huffington Post’s recent publication of a blog post proposing stripping white men of their right to vote sparked widespread anger across social media. The editors initially defended the piece, titled “Could It be Time to Deny White Men the Franchise?” They even crowed about how much traffic it was getting and mocked readers for complaining, before suddenly reversing their decision and deleting the post over the weekend.

Garland argued: “If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened. It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely–the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world.”

Then, following the extensive backlash, Huffington Post deleted the article, replacing it with a meek apology and a claim that they were unable to confirm that Shelley Garland was a real person.

Further documentation from “Shelley” elaborates on how she conducted the ruse armed with a heavily photoshopped image taken from the Internet and phrases employed by the “less sensible left.” The hoaxster says that her editors at Huffington Post did not correct any of the false claims, factual errors and logical fallacies she purposely embedded in the piece, and accepted it without question.

"A further indictment on the Huffington Post is the fact that its editor, Verashni Pillay, then took it upon herself to defend the total garbage that I had written."

So many countries to nuke that it's hard to decide who's first, eh?

If we're smart,

Heh, the chumps, them:

....HuffPostSA editor Verashni Pillay wrote an article (archived post) defending its publication. She highlighted examples of complaints sent to the website, and blamed readers for having a poor understanding of the “pretty standard feminist theory” Shelley used.

Ya know there was a time, when wisdom prevailed, when women weren't allowed to vote.

Susan Rice Did Nothing Wrong, Say Both Dems and Republicans

"I think the Susan Rice thing is a massive story. I think it's a massive, massive story.... Yeah, it's a bigger story than you know.... I think that it's going to be the biggest story."

Huffpo--what a sorry-ass outfit, eh?
