What use are the post-USSR military alliances when they were designed to contain the USSR, which is now dead and buried?

Crusade on Islam

Man that has a certain ring to it... it'll never catch on though.

[Orange Wizard]

I'm still hopeful. Just as soon as Saudi Arabia stops being a lucrative source of oil...

Comey is catching some flak for his press conference, apparently it violated standard practices on discussing cases or something.

Conferencegate when?

Actually, the GOP Congress is already calling for an investigation of the investigation. And if that doesn't pan out, no doubt they'll investigate the investigation of the investigation.

It's investiturtles all the way down...

Oh gosh, and apparently they want the FBI director to testify today? Jeez.

[Loud Whispers]

In a case where the government decides it will not submit its assertions to that sort of rigorous scrutiny by bringing charges, it has the responsibility to not besmirch someone’s reputation by lobbing accusations publicly instead. Prosecutors and agents have followed this precedent for years.

In this case, Comey ignored those rules to editorialize about what he called carelessness by Clinton and her aides in handling classified information, a statement not grounded in any position in law. He recklessly speculated that Clinton’s email system could have been hacked, even while admitting he had no evidence that it was. This conjecture, which has been the subject of much debate and heated allegations, puts Clinton in the impossible position of having to prove a negative in response.

In several instances, Comey made assertions that are outside the authority of the FBI. He inserted himself into a long-standing bureaucratic battle between the State Department and the FBI and intelligence agencies, making claims about classification practices at the State Department that do not fall under his jurisdiction. He raised the possibility of administrative sanctions that could be taken, another decision that is not his to make — any such sanctions, if appropriate, would be decided by the State Department, not the director of the FBI.

Lmao, poison disguised as help

WHAT A RUSE

[Flying Dice]

Good news, everyone!

Of course, even if it does make it all the way into practice, it'll still be too late for my cohort. But gains are gains.

Gary Johnson and veep pick are giving speeches right now. I'll dig up a transcript, but fairly good, if fluffy, talking points.

This is a matter of National Saltine.

strawpoll: let mainiac and redking back?

We need to elect representatives to discuss this critically important issue amongst themselves.

I'm going to toss my hat in the ring for the National Clusterfuckers, or NaCl for short.
