Also, please note that TAD DEVINE was #Bernie's $1M/month Campaign Advisor is sitting next to MANAFORT, and, yes, they worked together undermining Ukrainian democracy since this photo was taken.
When the 2016 Election started, they worked together vs Hillary, but SO DID #MSNBC!
Reagan was NOT the benevolent saint that most GOP think he was.
He was convinced that he could defeat the USSR w/ a "Limited Nuclear War" (they don't exist), but he didn't get the military to buy-in on his delusion, so he threw $26 Billion at the Strategic Defense Initiative...
... which I became the architect for, after the first one quit.
They had 22,000 nukes, and if I stopped 99% of them, then we'd still be hit with 220 H-Bombs. Any system less than perfect would be inadequate.
But even if the full system were perfect, it's made of satellites...
... and you can't launch a thousand satellites at the same time.
The Soviets would be forced to strike before ~15% of the full number of SDI sats were in place or surrender. SDI would ensure the worst-case scenario happening.
It was written by a virologist who specializes in vaccine development, not in BioWeapon development. The author of the study put his thumb on the scale when he said that the only viable intermediate host was the Pangolin, an Endangered Species.
Add-in Trump's insistence that it be called "the Chinese virus" (and "Kung-flu") over the protests of virologists who study BioWeapons, and that, to me, was the Smoking Gun.
With modern technology, almost any grad student can make a virus. The USSR was very active in this area.
The coup, having failed, left PUTIN vulnerable to being held accountable for his attempt to Conquer the World. (The destruction of America was only Step 1. Russia never liked China, either. Hence, his plan called for a war between us and the Chinese.)
Well, Yellowstone is overdue for it's next mega-eruption, likewise the West Coast's "Big One", there's Apophis, as asteroid which will miss us in 2029, but might centerpunch Earth in 2037, and an island off West Africa splitting in half, and when it does, a 500' tsunami hits NYC.
But, at this rate, we'll be lucky to get thru the next few weeks w/o getting nuked by North Korea (under PUTIN's orders, or maybe just Trump having the Last Word as he exits.
Worrying about the climate seems kinda quaint to me, ATM. But let's invest in EVs and solar panels...
And paint roads, parking lots, and roofs white to reduce how much heat Earth absorbs from sunlight.
We had the technology to protect the West from ICBM/nuclear attack, but Flynn sold that to PUTIN. That one act of Treason could *double* our casualties in a nuclear war.
RRosenstein was holding Mueller's leash - and reporting Mueller's findings back to PUTIN, so he could negate their sources before they could be exploited.
People talk disparagingly about "Conspiracy Theorists".
WTF do you think they did at the KGB - Write parking tickets?
I was the youngest, so my brothers thought of me as "the baby" far beyond the term being appropriate.
I was the spitting image of my father. Unfortunately, he didn't need a drink to reign hell on his wife and kids. I was a constant reminder to my mother of her biggest mistake.
Let's pretend that I explained why my childhood was hellish. My child brain assumed that my childishness was the problem, and figured I needed to get as smart as my older brothers to escape what I felt.
My brothers were between avg and smart. My oldest brother had talents, the middle brother had *ALL* the high school girls throwing themselves at him (jock), and #3 was the smartest in the family.
Until I caught up.
#2 was keenly aware of being the least sharp of the four, and
There's another reason for Trump supporters having poor spelling skills - GRU-Trolls rely solely on software that translates *this* text into spoken English, and verbal responses back into English like *this*, in raw text.
At Russian schools, Conversational English is required.
When we receive a Pro-Trump post w/ the wrong "there/their/they're", but the big words are spelled correctly, it's evidence that the GRU-Trolls can speak English, but can't read or write English.
I've tested the hypothesis, and found the clear pattern: GRU-Trolling is a low-wage
job. It's like being a "Technical Representative" at the cable company. They have flip-cards for how to handle our responses. They aren't Masterminds, just average slobs that can *converse* in English. When *their* answer has "their" in it, the speech recognition software offers
