[flashback]

There was an article in The Economist years ago where the writer who was posh English but studying in Yale or Harvard, could say the most ridiculous shit in a bar, and he would get taken completely seriously by the yanks around him. Purely because of his accent.

how do you think I got my job?

I don't really know anything about her but, on the surface at least, that's something! Even the Counterpunch guys are happy about that and they think everything is neoliberalism.

Trump announces wave of pardons, including Papadopoulos and former lawmakers Hunter and Collins

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a wave of lame duck pardons, including two for men who pleaded guilty in Robert Mueller's investigation, as well as ones for Republican allies who once served in Congress and military contractors involved in a deadly shooting of Iraqi civilians.

Blackwater guards
The four Blackwater guards — Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty, and Dustin Heard — were convicted by a federal jury in 2014 after a lengthy trial that saw some 30 witnesses travel from Iraq to testify against them. Prosecutors accused the men of illegally unleashing "powerful sniper fire, machine guns and grenade launchers on innocent men, women and children."
According to prosecutors, the four were among seven Blackwater employees who opened fire in the Nusoor Square traffic circle in Baghdad, killing 17 people.
An FBI investigation found 14 of the deaths unjustified, according to rules of engagement for private security contractors in Iraq. Slatten was accused of firing the first shots.
Blackwater said its convoy came under attack, and defense attorneys said in court that witness accounts were fabricated. But witnesses testified that the contractors opened fire without provocation.
The White House said their pardons were supported by a number of members of Congress along with Pete Hegseth, the conservative Fox News host who is any ally of the President's.

Won't somebody please remember 9/11.

Those people in Nusoor traffic circle were most likely on their way to buy yellow cake. And what happens if they have NUCLEAR WEAPONS. What then?

Worse 9/11, with nuclear weapons. That's what.

Be very interesting if the Dems win here. I'm conspiracy brained enough to say that they'd prefer changing nothing and get to blame Mitch McConnell forever.

People on twitter seem pretty confident that the dems are going to take that second seat in Georgia.

I mean, fair enough, I can see this looking a bit off. But... look, let's try to keep this in perspective; he's not doing anything really bad like making jokes about teaching his kid about how to use a can opener.

Haha so it turns out there IS something worse than being sat next to the crying baby on a plane

 

[flashback]

Huh.

So Dems have the Senate too now. Is there any chance at all they're not going to shit the bed on this one?
