What's at her feet, olive branches. It looks like they were bound in white ribbon that's now untied.
-cida is an ending in Italian and maybe Spanish that equals our -cide. But what's a fati and why is it killed.
Perplexing, the whole thing, including the expression on her face.

Faticida, the death of fate or the killing of fate? The olive branches that were offered to her bound in ribbon have been cast on the floor.
She's rejecting an overture of peace.

This is a problem ... since The Golden Ratio is used in architecture both ancient and modern, and can be found all the time in nature.
Anyway - people that get this have spontaneous headaches. The article called it ... Brain Frieze.

We already saw the FBI has done that in redacting things that were "embarrassing" (likely illegal) to them, when it had nothing to do with sources and methods.
That corrupt withholding of evidence should itself be a criminal act. they claim to be complying, but in fact redacted the smoking guns under the lie that "sources and methods must be protected", when they aren't using the "ongoing 5 year investigation, can't talk about it". Of course then the fake Mueller inquisition just wraps up all his fellow criminals in his own fake investigation and they all get protected, if not handed immunity outright.
Treason, sedition, whatever ... hand em high. And do it quickly, no releasing the evidence in 25 years, or smashing it all with hammers.

Ok, the story is rather clear. He made a video, which was apparently a parody of the show, Dexter, in that this was supposed to be a promo for a new show called Darryl. But instead of being a serial killer, like Dexter, Darryl is a baby raper.
Funny?
Maybe not, but again, until we see a pattern, I'm going to assume it's possible Harmon is only doing what he does, which is push the boundaries of comedy.

Trajan's column was part of a larger complex known as the Forum of Trajan, which included a basilica, two libraries, the Column, and statues of himself in various triumphal poses.
https://tinyurl.com/y7olb9ya
The Column's frieze is interesting because it give a detailed account of the conquest of Dacia and is one of the best records of Roman military and camp life. It cannot be seen all at once, and the story is mean to unfold like frames in a comic strip. But because of its position in the Forum complex, the entire frieze could not really be read completely, unless with great difficulty. The base of the Column was supposed to be Trajan's tomb but I don't know if his ashes were actually interred there.

But we haven't seen anything other than the words of two people who were part of a conspiracy to steal a presidential election. Not one mention of anything remotely like talk between two lovers in the thousands of texts that have been released, no hotel receipts, no nothing.

From 2013-2015, Carter Page worked with the FBI to help catch Russian spies. A year later he was supposedly working as "an agent of Russia" and "conspiring with Russia"?
More like March 2016 he was a witness in the conviction of said Russian and in October 2016 he was being pegged as the fall guy.

I could bite on that explanation if I thought embarrassment was a deterrent for either of them. I haven't seen much that suggests either has much shame, and frankly, Sztrok (and Page, for that matter) are both sufficiently unattractive (and feckless enough) that they might see social upside in the notoriety that attends infidelity. Some people will illicitly screw just so others will notice that they can, in fact, find a willing partner besides their spouse...

I just can't believe, as our Secret Chimp said above, that they thought an alleged affair would provide any cover. Do you think they really thought that everyone would just think their texts were pillow talk? I can't believe that.

IMO he is a psychopath (in the clinical sense). Trying to figure out WHY he did something is difficult, because his brain is just wired differently.
You must look at his actions through two extra filters.
1. Is it something he even cares about (ie, how it affects his family).
2. Is it something he thinks he can 'manage' and get away with (most psychopaths truly believe they are superior to almost all people).

One example is the Page text saying something like "This can't happen, right?" (re: Trump winning) and then Strzok saying, "I'll stop it."

Sort of what they tried with that ridiculous pneumonia claim.
In any case, she's not running in 2020 anyway. She just has to act like it because otherwise the money dries up.
And they weren't supposed to get caught.
If they weren't supposed to get caught, what purpose does acting like they are in an affair serve???

Remember, nobody was ever supposed to see these texts and if they did it would be people running the Hillary administration.
Neither are good reasons for texting thousands of time in the course of a year so we are just discussing which would be worse. Having an affair in DC doesn't seem to be such a big deal these days but there are still some of us who view trying to rig a presidential election and frame people as enemy agents still pisses some of us off.
>>And, as Blue Hen notes, it's the kids that are really screwed by this. Even criminals love their kids and I can't believe both these people would do that to their children.
Which is probably a big reason Page is cooperating. Nice kid you got there, be a shame if he only saw you through prison bars for the next 10 years.

That doesn't work. Because he was in a position to carry out what he claimed. When a boy claims he'll bring his girl the moon, its obviously false because he's in no position to do so. Its just bold promises. In this case, he could do it, so being in an affair just makes it worse: I'll do this for you, baby... and I can.

I saw this around the time Strzok testified - that was an excuse going around in Lefty social media, that Strzok didn't really mean he would stop Trump from being elected, he was just being chivalrous. Not making this up, they've already used "it was just lovers talk" excuse.

-----------------------
This meme comes from the fact that Crowd Strike report was received (accepted) by the IC. This does not mean they accepted the findings, they just accepted receipt of the report. So, technically, it is true they accepted the dossier. Why Army, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard Intelligence is implied as accepting it is quite bizarre - but is sounds like unity on the document. I doubt seriously that any military intel ever actually received a copy.

Sure, but that's not evidence of anything but desperate need to maintain the narrative. It doesn't make sense even out of context.
And I don't blame them for feeling that way.
Me either. It is deeply frustrating to watch the criminal and the evil continue to succeed, to see no justice done. This is why stories like Batman and Death Wish have such cultural resonance. People want justice, and they want it at even great cost.
The process is slow, but without someone strong showing leadership and in front of the world explaining and giving some sense of movement, it feels nonexistent. And based on recent experience (not to mention a life of observation) maybe it is nonexistent. We need movement and some real, tangible results to have any confidence of any justice whatsoever. And so far: nothing.

All done by hand. With god-knows what for tools.
As Kris noted above, it's a story. It spirals up the column like a continuous comic strip. The column is made in segments, so when you drop the next one on top of the last the story has to line up perfectly.
It's pretty cool.
Posted by: Bandersnatch at July 23, 2018 11:36 AM (fuK7c)
The reason it was so important for McCabe to be fired before he retired is that he was slotted to be the character witness backing up James Comey in Mueller's hoped for Obstruction of Justice charge against Trump, or barring that, Comey's ace in the hole to get him out of any charges or claims made against him. BUT - as soon as McCabe was Fired for Cause, and that Cause being "Lack of Candor", his value as a witness in any future proceeding dropped to less than zero. Because of that, his credibility and his involvement in any of this can be brought up as relevant background info in any future legal proceeding. Meaning all of Comey's backup was taken out of the game when McCabe was fired.
THAT is why it happened - and THAT is the only reason it was important that it happened. Worrying about money is like worrying about what color James Comey's suit was.

Sure the criminal referral is gonna haunt him til the end of his days. Jury will find him not guilty in two seconds and the DOJ will wet fart the prosecution and say oh we tried.
If they really hated him the process alone would have put him and his family in the poor house by now. But no. Refired (new term in government HR manual) and soaking up the sun.
Worst thing about be refired is that he cannot get another government job from age 50 - 70 and get a double dip pensions like every other government employee.

Its similar to how you can spot the FBI informant at a KKK meetings.

I believe that right now we're too close to the election, and too many assets are still in enemy hands for our side to make a successful offensive move yet. Look at how hard it is to get a conservative judge through the Senate - even so-called conservatives like Tim Scott are ready to stick a knife in Trump's back the instant they get an excuse to do so.
Coming out of this election with a stronger position in the Senate and still in control of the House, even if just barely, is the most important thing for the next 4 months. Everything must be focused on whether it advances or hinders that goal. after the election, then Trump will have more Flexibility, as the saying goes.

It was either Comey lying or McCabe lying as they contradicted each other. McCabe was always going to be the fall guy. He very well may be indicted and convicted though I doubt convicted , but he's going to be the only big fish caught in the net.

Done okay. Have never been in prison which is probably a massive step up for some of them so there is that. Also, was quite surprised to learn that a little shapely redhead I drooled over is not so "shapely" any more, (granted, neither am I) is married but never had children.
