Cmon Schiff, They stopped teaching Roman history years ago. Use a hipper cliche. slate.com/news-and-polit…
I prefer "a bridge too far" which evokes the disastrous WW2 Allied assault in the lowlands. But here ya go. Caesars decision created a dictatorship and not apropos of what Trump or the Dems are doing nationalgeographic.com/archaeology-an…
Even better would be "draw a line in the sand" based on William Barret Travis dramatic challenge to those who wanted to stay and defend the Alamo in 1836.
Movie version: Important real world foot note...everyone died. Except the guy who didn't stay and told the "line in the sand story" story

Is anyone else thrilled that the NSC, the world's most advanced spy agency, still uses Courier typeface ? games-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/def…
What are the odds that an "eyes only" document would be released to the general public? I dunno... lets ask Trump's fixer at the DoJ.
straight up mob dialog; "I think it's.something you want to look at but the United States has been very·very good to Ukraine. I wouldn't say that it's reciprocal necessarily because things are happening that are not good but the United States has been very very.good to Ukraine."

Russia invaded the Ukraine and is engaged in aggressive violence against a peaceful state. Both countries are in Europe. So we have a war inside Europe and Trump was more concerned about extorting the new leader by witholding urgent military aid. #Classy ukrinform.net/rubric-defense…
Most of this aid consists of purchases of American military and intel hardware along training and support contracts to US companies to bolster the Ukraine military. In essence it all comes back to us. defense.gov/Newsroom/News/…
The Ukraine deal is a drop in the bucket compared to other nations. Some that neither need or appropriately use our aid. Like Nigeria, Pakistan or Uganda.
Afghanistan ($4.89 billion)
Iraq ($3.36 billion)
Israel ($3.18 billion) concernusa.org/story/foreign-…

I also confirmed @Nrg8000 the location to Bayingol, Xinjiang. What is disturbing is the logistics and training system created by China to process humans. Presumably Uighers. I have seen other processing centers in Somalia, Italy, Libya etc but this is definately worth exploring.
@Nrg8000 I want to take you back 8 months to a story in which Erik Prince's FSG posted a signed agreement to train and support a Chinese mercenary group in Tumxuk Xinjiang, China 8 hours away 39.866004, 79.041990
"FSG will invest 40 million yuan ($6 million) in the centre, which will have the capacity to train 8,000 people a year, state media said in a report. reuters.com/article/us-chi…

Why doesn’t Georgia’s abortion ban take effect until 2020? Because it categorizes fetuses as “minor dependents” under the Internal Revenue Code and a tax alteration can’t take effect until the next calendar year. slate.com/news-and-polit…
If the Georgia law takes effect, the fetuses of undocumented immigrants will receive government benefits—but the women carrying these fetuses won’t be able to use the aid themselves. slate.com/news-and-polit…
Georgia will have to figure out how to provide the fetuses of undocumented immigrants with government benefits, while preventing the women carrying those fetuses from using the benefits in any way. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Jared Kushner and #Kashoggi thread:
How can Kushner be investigated for alleged corrupt ties to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar?
The Foreign Emoluments clause arguably applies to Kushner as Senior Advisor ot the President as an "office of trust." (But it's complicated)... 1/
2/ Foreign Emoluments Clause: "No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the US] shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
3/ Is an unpaid Senior Advisor an "office of trust"? There is historical debate about the scope of this phrase, and courts have not resolved this question. But in 1982, the OLC (the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel) suggested broad coverage: justice.gov/file/22956/dow…

FROM MARCH: IMPORTANT 1) slate.com/news-and-polit…
Kushner is currently facing potentially massive ramifications for a disastrous $1.8 billion real estate deal he struck a decade ago. The slew of new stories suggest that he may have orchestrated a foreign policy crisis to pressure Qatar to bail him out. 2)
Months later, a firm linked to Qatar gave him a staggeringly large loan. 3)
