On the new "Snowden"
If convicted, Martin faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison for the unauthorized removal and retention of classified materials, and ten years in prison for theft of government property, the release stated. He must be a muzzie or they would be hanging him out for the death penalty. Of course the press release doesn't ID what he is.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Thanks for the headlines, J.J. And thanks to you, Vic, for the VNN; I know how much effort you put into it, and I absolutely appreciated it, even if some of the news was rage-inducing.
I've never been a big fan of George Bernard Shaw, so any time someone got the best of him pleases me. This time, it was Mrs. Shaw who bested the playwright. It seems that Shaw got into a heated discussion over his contention that male judgment was superior to female judgment and asked his wife whether or not he was correct. "Of course, dear," she replied. "After all, you married me and I you." Hope you all have a wonderful day. Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at October 06, 2016 07:38 AM (X6fMO) 37

To be "fair" about the guy with all the classified stuff. We had a guy who was taking classified stuff home for study when I was in the Navy. One afternoon on the way home he had a wreck and a door flew open and scattered the classified material all over the highway. The State Patrol brought it back to the watch officer that evening.
That sailor did not get prosecuted that I know of, but he did get kicked out of school, busted, and sent back to the fleet.

yeah, it SHOULD indicate a landslide for Trump, and there is no doubt Trump has the issues that appeal to most Americans. on trade, control of border, America First, HillaryCare, change agent ... all big winners, people feel they finally might have a voice. Trump would have 60% if the message could penetrate the MFM Bubble of Hate Lies. They have to drag up fake stories, while Hillary has questions planted with child actors, and she acts surprised as they play out the script.

We went from "Request permission to come aboard" and "I need to speak with the XO immediately" to a dumpster surrounded by security in about three minutes. Stupid shit happens.

Both sides in the case agreed that medication prescribed to treat symptoms related to Rob ONeills military service formed the basis for the DUI charge, The Montana Standard reported. Butte-Silver Bow County prosecutors instead charged ONeill with negligent endangerment and deferred prosecution for up to a year while he undergoes treatment through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

I tried to watch Red Eye last night, but when they have a dedicated leftist on, one thing you can count on, the leftist will insert the Trump Hate narrative into every damn sentence fragment. Most leftist media are never be caught saying all the adoration and respect those other Miss U queens had for Trump, they are completely focused on the fabricated narrative from "Miss Piggy" is proof Donald is vile.

There was a military honor guard, Itzak Perlman played the National Anthem on the violin and everyone stood respectfully. No black power salutes, no taking a knee or riding the bench during the anthem. MLB millionaires appear to be much more grateful for the opportunities given them than certain NFL spoiled brats are.
What a thing to be happy about: that nobody insulted the country or viewers during the Anthem. That's what we're reduced to. Posted by: Donna and V. (sans ampersands at the present time) at October 06, 2016 08:41 AM (u0lmX) 156
Insty has a link to a story that Dim Senate candidates aren't linking their campaigns to Trump's defeat.
I take that as an indication that their polling data is horrible for Hillary! and that Trump has a good shot at winning- and that they're now worried about coattails. Too bad the Senate Reps are so eager to enact the Dim and Soros agenda... Posted by: naturalfake at October 06, 2016 08:42 AM (9q7Dl) 157

Rasmussen shows Trump up 2 nationally. Reuters also shows Trump up 2 in CO, 7 in IA and 13 in GA. There's a report that Senate Dem candidates are not attacking Trump in their ads.

Chelsea is all grown up - and just as bent as her parents:
[Hillary] Clinton in 2009 arranged meetings between Jacqueline Newmyer Deal, a friend of Chelsea Clinton and head of the defense consulting group Long Term Strategy Group, with Pentagon officials that involved contracting discussions, according to emails from Clinton's private server made public recently by the State Department. Clinton also tried to help Deal win a contract for consulting work with the State Department's director of policy planning, according to the emails.

But they seem very aware of just how fortunate they are. As far as AA players go, I actually read a leftist complaint a few years ago about how a disproportionate number of them come from middle class two-parent families and grew up in the 'burbs.

This, I think, is something worth at least considering:
It may be that this country is no longer a "force for good" in the world. With what we know about what the most transparent government in history is doing (meaning facilitating, coordinating, scheming,etc.) domestically and internationally - nothing - we can look around and see that this country is fucking shit up virtually everywhere. How is it that a once great country ceases to be great? I would submit that it ceases to be great when what it was great for, is no longer valid. This country was once the beacon of liberty for the entire world. There are more than a dozen countries around the world with what has been evaluated to be more liberty than what we have here. Hillary Clinton destroyed a country. Obama and his administration have overseen the deaths of probably millions and have effectively embraced the evil that has brought it about. We have a defense and intelligence budget larger than the rest of the world combined. Where the fuck is that money going? Our intelligence services are largely viewed as incompetent and we can't field competitive aircraft. Just a couple of things to think about.

But because he's black, he can't be a racist.
The definition they use when they say this is the same kind of definition bureaucrats use when they talk about 'terrorism.' They insist that racism is an institutional thing, that it requires this and that, etc., yet they conversely they'll call you a racist if you use a non-approved word. See, the bureaucratic definition of 'racist' is used to absolve them of their bigotry (we don't have power, see???), but any slight they perceive from you is an indictment of your race and society. Of course, they still use the average person's definition of racist when they want to malign you personally. Word games, straight out of Orwell.

But with the agreement now set to take effect before the next president in inaugurated, even should he be that president and intend to meet that pledge, a U.S. withdrawal could not take place for four years.
The accord says no party may apply to withdraw within the first three years of its entry into force, and that written notice of withdrawal will only take effect another 12 months later. Erm, what if we just, like, blow it off immediately? What are they going to do? Since Obama entered the agreement illegally it's not binding.

Ok, NFL guys went to college, maybe some of them, but since my kid played baseball I'm using my frame of reference. I think you had to be of a different caliber to go to college on a baseball scholarship. Maybe I mean something as simple as the colleges with excellent baseball programs expect their baseball players know how to sign their name to a contract and the football colleges only expect their players to be able to make an "X" on the contract.

I would sometimes catch shit for referring to some of my Sailors as 'kids". In my culture it is a term of respect and possessive endearment, not an insult. I would typically respond with "See this here Aircraft Carrier? I'm the oldest crew member on it.You can call me Gramps behind my back, and I'll consider you one of my kids to your face."

Posted by: V the K at October 06, 2016 08:59 AM (O7MnT) It's not just that, we are financing the illusion of our ongoing greatness with mountains of debt. What are we getting for our money... that we don't have? Look at what our government is doing domestically. They are almost certainly acting just as bad internationally as they are domestically. That this country is more divided now than it ever was as long as I have been alive, is no accident. That we live now in a polarized binary society, is no accident either. Black vs. white, right vs left, gay vs straight, female vs male. Hell, I don't know. It used to be that people came here for liberty. The only reason why people are still trying to get into this country is for the handouts. Plus, if you are the right kind of person, somebody who isn't white or male or citizen or non-criminal, or Jew or Christian; the government will help you get over on everyone who doesn't fit within that category. It's a good goddamned thing that whenever we want something, we can just go get it - bread and circuses - or people might actually start thinking about shit. If that is ever not the case - suddenly - I'd take odds on how screwed most of really are. Posted by: Mr Macca Bean (Make deplorable adorable again!) at October 06, 2016 09:18 AM (4ng05) 231
Funny, isn't it? The supposedly "educated classes" are falling hook line and sinker for the MSM lies, while it's the supposedly "stupid" people who see through them.
Posted by: Donna and V. (sans ampersands at the present time) Of course that's how it is. The "educated classes" have been stewing in the Leftard alternate reality those lies are based upon all their lives; their world-views have been shaped almost wholly by the people lying to them now. It's nothing short of miraculous that as many people escape that trap as do. Mornin' Horde.

"Kudos to him.. Those kids ( and they are kids) are the best of the best. I love being down there"
I would sometimes catch shit for referring to some of my Sailors as 'kids". In my culture it is a term of respect and possessive endearment, not an insult. I would typically respond with "See this here Aircraft Carrier? I'm the oldest crew member on it.You can call me Gramps behind my back, and I'll consider you one of my kids to your face." More often than not, it ended in a smile, and a better understanding on their part.

What's funny about Meghan Kelly's butthurt is that early in the campaign, you could not avoid seeing Trump on tv - he met with anyone who invited them on their show, failing that, he made himself available as a call-in interviewee. The MSM was all up in arms because they haaaated Trump but they couldn't not interview him because he was *so dang available to them'* unlike every other candidate, Hillary in particular. No scripts, no boundaries, just Trump asking them "Where and when do you want me?'
In this case, he really is just being more selective. With the election so close, he needs to focus on positive media engagements, not stroking the ego of a particular news personality. Posted by: Lizzy at October 06, 2016 09:19 AM (NOIQH) 235

I recall years ago when Rush was getting himself out of NYC in response to a tax increase, he mentioned that he is audited every year by the state of NY. Every year.

Posted by: troyriser at October 06, 2016 09:15 AM (OGbEB) It's not about getting a grip. It's about not being a voluntary dupe. Many people on this board have served and many have served in combat. That doesn't mean that people can't question the decisions that this country is making and the deception they are perpetrating on all of us. For the better part of three decades I felt like this country betrayed the sacrifices of the people I served with In SE Asia. Both A-stan and Iraq were won because of the sacrifices of good Americans and those victories were shit canned as if those men and women had never lived. This shit is not right. In fact, it is wrong. I just think that it is worth thinking about more profoundly than just believing the hollow platitudes to a country that no longer exists, and probably hasn't since the Korean war.

These WC teams have a way of sneaking into the WS though. What matters is how many games you win in the post-season. I'll resume my hatred of the Cubs next year, but for now, I'm rooting for them. However, given the track record of baseball teams I root for, you might want me to say "Go Giants!" instead. Posted by: Donna and V.

I just think that it is worth thinking about more profoundly than just believing the hollow platitudes to a country that no longer exists, and probably hasn't since the Korean war.
Posted by: Mr Macca Bean (Make deplorable adorable again!) at October 06, 2016 09:32 AM (4ng05) No one requires you to buy into any hollow platitudes. And speaking of hollow platitudes, you know thatgrand and gloriousGolden Age you're waxing rhapsodic about? It never existed. Progressives always go on about that glorious socialist future that somehow never seems to arrive. Reactionaries idealize the past. Both are equally tiresome. My advice? Stay in the day and deal with the problems in front of you. Posted by: troyriser at October 06, 2016 09:52 AM (OGbEB) 307
"I know it's all anecdotal, but chelsea clinton drew a huge crowd of 125 at her campaign event in Iowa yesterday."
Which consisted of 40 local Dem pols., 30 reporters, 15facility cleanup, maintenance, security and 10 plants for softball questions. So actual attendance was probably about 30. Posted by: Ripley at October 06, 2016 09:52 AM (1BQGO) 308
>.Hasn't she done this before or was that Barry who has used plants in the audience?
Yes, Hillary was caught using plants in 2008. At one townhall one of he aides got a college-aged woman to ask her "Diamonds or pearls?" (to match Bill getting the "Boxers or briefs question in 1992). Posted by: Lizzy at October 06, 2016 09:53 AM (NOIQH) 309
>>"I know it's all anecdotal, but chelsea clinton drew a huge crowd of 125 at her campaign event in Iowa yesterday."
IIRC, a lot of Chelsea's event's require purchasing a ticket, so that would be 125 people who likely paid $100+ for the privilege of being in the same room with dear, sweet Chelsea. Posted by: Lizzy at October 06, 2016 09:54 AM (NOIQH) 310

Posted by: troyriser at October 06, 2016 09:58 AM (OGbEB) Nobody - at least not me - is pining about a time when everything was without care, and how you pull that from anything said is exactly the point of why it was said in the first place. You concluded, that things were great 'once upon a time' when what was said is that this country, and what it was founded on, were worth ideals. Those ideals, and that foundation are what have been seriously eroded. Posted by: Mr Macca Bean (Make deplorable adorable again!) at October 06, 2016 10:04 AM (4ng05) 323

"How many Americans have been notified that their Obamacare 2017 premiums
will skyrocket, or have been cancelled and (possibly) replaced with even crappier terms and paying more for the privilege?" They have been carefully programmed to hate capitalism and love the govt. so they blame it on the insurance companies reacting to market pressures and ask for more govt.. to fix it even more than they fixed it last time.
