1. When I studied Chinese and PRC politics in the mid 1980's, we dealt with estimates of how many million peasants the CCP starved in a given year through a combination of incompetence and sociopathy. China and DPRK
2. are still birds of a feather. Just that China got better at luring the Capitalists to build the Chinese military and civilian economies. Fundamentally the game at the top has not changed since the 1980s.
3. The Reagan and Bush41 @CIA completely bought the CCP clever PR campaign. Like they did with Russia, they all just checked off a win and got high-fives from US business that could now make tons of money in former adversaries China and Russia.
4. But Russia and China had a plan and stuck to it. #TiananmenSquareMassacre day is our chance every year to remember that, if the CCP would do that to thousands of China's most valuable people in 1989, its top students, what would they be willing to do to us?

1. Why do @SenatorSinema and @Sen_JoeManchin think they can get away with killing Black people's right to vote? Because AZ is 5% Black and WV is only 3.6% Black. But the District of Columbia is 46% Black. Those Black voters have a right to demonstrate and petition and might
2. consider obtaining permits to spend every permitted minute of every day at the residences of these two recalcitrant Senators.

And I've been thinking that both of these Senators have been targeted by the GQP supporting GRU and have been shown Kompromat that is being used
3. to extort them. In any event, they wanted to be DC bigshots. Let them pay the price for working for the agents of Black oppression who seek to deny them the right to vote. Peaceful but relentless. Ask yourselves, "What would MLK do?? He'd demonstrate. Peacefully,

1. How I'd deal with UN Aid, Turkey and Iran in one shot. Assad and Russia have left ISIS in pockets on the west side of the Euphrates. It's been like that for five years or more. Our 2001 AUMF covers ISIS. We should secure the border crossing at al Bukamal a 225 km strip along
2. the Iraqi border that links up with At Tanf and the ability to run logistics from Jordan. Once that supply line is established we move on Daesh in the Badia Dessert. All of this works. Not clear if the SDF trusts us enough to assist. If not we go it alone. We can bring in
3. UN relief there and truck it across country to Idlib that should be secured from Turkish forces and hopefully the SDF will participate in establishing security in the areas that Turkey formerly occupied.

1. Do you think we do surveillance on members of Congress? Likely not but sometimes they do things that anyone who had half a brain would know would be intercepted. Here is @LindseyGrahamSC learning how it really works.
2. And we listed a Russian white supremacist group on April 5, 2020. So they were likely covered by a FISA Title I and 702 orders by May 2020. Think any US white supremacists had anything to do with them? Think any of them were involved in the Capitol assault?
3. The Proud Boys leaders' detention litigation referenced a terrorism crime. I don't see how that works unless there is a foreign terrorist connection, and the Russian Nazi terrorists would make the most sense to me.

1. The group of GQP Senators I'm watching are the 2016/2022 cycle members. I count five who have planned to retire from office including @SenShelby who went to the Kremlin with five others in the Trump election 2016 cycle. @SenRonJohnson is the most controversial of the five
2. @SenJohnHoeven @SenJohnKennedy @SenJohnThune and @JerryMoran went too. Along with @SteveDaines who was not in that cycle. I think this #KremlinKrew has electoral challenges that makes them fascinating to observe. I bet they keep their heads down. Here are other 2022 cycle GQP

1. I'd check to see what happened to the other three husbands.
2. My first legal assignment was given to me by my late brother John. He was one of Janet Reno's major crimes deputies and I was down in Miami painting his house on school break. Homicide detectives dumped an old file on him at home & wanted to close it. John asked me to read it.
3. If I found something he wouldn't have to spend the time. The issue was the statute of limitations. As I recall, 2nd degree murder in FL was 10 years but 1st had no limit. So if the crime was 2nd degree more than ten years old then there was no way to charge

1. I went back to look at @maddow yesterday when she assailed the current DOJ for the manner in which the motion for stay tried to excuse the apparent lack of candor by the Barr DOJ that the judge raised in her ruling. She never mentioned the fact that the part of memo that she
2. wanted released was, in fact, released as Exhibit "A" to the motion. So the DOJ gave us what Maddow claimed was being withheld. The part they are seeking to keep sealed is the part about Mueller Report Volume I that addressed Russian influence. Not Trump crimes.
3. This is complicated stuff and the OLC would want to assert statutory protection that, if waived, will impact past, current and future FOIA's. It may not be readily apparent but in the area of National Security the Govt has secrets and they work to keep them.
