...Unless, of course, the plan was to generate blowback.

More like CCCP, amirite? Oh, wait, the soviets paid back their loans for the most part. Should be D, honestly.

Saw the faux news ALERT while at the bank today. So stupid. I presume McQaeda wants to FIRE ZE MISSILES already. The FIB, of course, are already on the bandwagon.

BONUS LULZ:

Was wondering when that would happen, since she's a BND girl. Not surprising that it will be used on her enemies. Translated

Faux News, excellent lolpropaganda

So they basically encouraged an ending with the assasination of KJU. No wonder Sony's backing off. Don't wanna be seen as a toady of uncle satan pushing propaganda; that's bad for business.

More from the JEB * RAND 2016 angle of things, unfortunately.

Because being Captain EO just isn't tyrannous enough.

Not due to a sudden outbreak of sanity, but instead to ensure that he's thrown under the jail.

Yeesh. What did they make this thing out of for it to cost a billion dollars? Blue Halliburton Tarps?

Yet another legacy of WWII. Looks like it'll be like the Hanford Site - never to be cleaned, sure to cause trouble.

This poll shows every group interviewed in the USA, regardless of political orientation, supported torture in at least some circumstance. The key to this poll is the light blue column versus the others; it is telling that so called 'liberals' only were hardcore about this 33% of the time.

BONUS: Leave it to the VietCong to figure it out decades ago.

BONUS: In fact, leave it to Napoleon.

Might be the only good thing Obummer's done.

Idiot! Don't you know the rape comes AFTER the pillaging? Kids these days.

Congress could not have picked a worse Christmas gift for the American people than the 1,774-page omnibus spending bill. Unfortunately, we cannot return this gift. But hopefully someday Congress will give us the gift of peace, prosperity, and liberty by shutting down the welfare-warfare state.

B..but I thought the black helicopters weren't real? SHUT UP CONSPIRACY THEORIST

Sungun: Military First. Quite humorous when you realize it's nothing but the Rome of Septimus Severus and Diocletian. I suspect it ends the same way; the warlords carve out fifedoms while the central apparatus more or less disintegrates.

End to End + NSA MITM baked in != encryption.

One heck of a christmas gift to themselves.

One heck of a brush gun.

I'd prefer the 24% of the criminals WITH victims to go free than to incarcerate so many for no good reason. This is a travesty.

Israel 2: Electric Boogaloo

The Sheik involved here seems straight out of Gladio central casting, and was conveniently kept from being extradited back to Iran earlier for past crimes.

Oh, and the cops are responsible for most of the gunshot hostages. Must have trained with the NYPD.

Looks like a good fit for the working class looking to get out from under credit card rapacity. Unfortunately, the borrowers who could benefit the most from this (those suckered by payday lenders) are too marginal to pay back a lot of these, so the rates and willingness to lend can't help much there... which is probably why the payday loan guys set such high rates in the first place. Decent comments on this piece too.

The internet now allows remote viewing without a ouija board.
