It's gonna be interesting when people who are dedicated to LEAKING THE TRUTH have to be vetted for very high level security clearances.

And yeah, of course Flynn is "embracing" QAnon - not even Stratfor will touch his compromised rear end. He's gotta con *someone* for the rent money.

If I recall correctly, getting elected bypasses any clearance requirements.

e: Looked it up, and sort of ... most of congress doesn't get additional screening, but members of some committees have to go through vetting that's managed by congress rather than the normal clearance process.

Nah, that and the "you gotta crash a few cars to drive" makes me think it's a joke.

A race car driver is probably going to smash up a car now and then, even if it's just in practice. But even a professional target shooter should never have an ND.

Thats what they sold. Its not what they did.

This was a fun one

https://www.ndr.de/geschichte/chronologie/Die-Gruendung-des-Volkswagenwerks-1938,vwwerk2.html

quote:

"You have to save five marks a week - if you want to drive in your own car!" This slogan was followed by more than 300,000 savers in the German Empire until the late 1930s. The financing model promised almost unbelievable: a "Volkswagen" affordable for everyone, which Adolf Hitler had already announced to his "peers" in 1934.

And the Germans saved - week after week they put their brands on the savings card, hoping for their own car. The problem with this: The advertised car didn't even exist. Not even the factory where it could have been built. Hundreds of thousands had already signed a savings contract when the foundation stone for the Volkswagen plant was laid on May 26, 1938, near the town of Fallersleben in Lower Saxony.

But the so-called power-through-joy car was never built. At the beginning of the war, production was switched to armaments. Private cars were still reserved for a small, privileged class.

I could see a $15 convenience fee, but $300? gently caress you.

Seems like more of a "in case the entire office needs to shut down because people insist on non-essential activities" fee. If they're charging it for emergency dental work that's lovely though.

No, Chris Wallace is their token Actual Reporter that they use as advertiser cover to show they're a "real news network", sort of like how Shep Smith was.

Donnie doesn't do adversarial, televised, long interviews, so Donnie likely hosed up and said GET ME ON FOX NEWS SUNDAY and there's nobody left in the white house that has veto authority on bad ideas.

By tomorrow morning Fox and Friends will be backtracking all of it.

When I was in grad school I knew a ton of hard left and socialist research assistants in various fields who straight up tried to only work DoD funded reaseach over privately funded. It boiled down to companies sponsoring research wanted NDAs and other restrictions on what could be published if the results were market unfavorable. Whereas the DoD was writing checks for basic research and said "whatever, publish the results."

Sounds like an argument for more non-defense public research spending.

Ohh... he's just "saying it how it is"

Mike Ditka is a loving idiot. That's the way I feel, and I'm going to say what I feel.

Ditka has spoken out against kneeling before, "There has been no oppression in the last 100 years that I know of,"

I know opening schools is a bad idea, but since schools are our country's closest relative to child care and nutrition subsidy, I have sympathies for those placed in the ideological DMZ of "I need someone to take care of my child so I can work to feed them and they can learn what they need for a productive future" and "I need them to avoid contracting a deadly communicable disease."

The only people sending their kids to school will be the people who have to physically go to work, anyone working from home is saying gently caress that. So the working class people already at the most risk get yet more risk thrown on the pile. And they won't have a choice because everything is dysfunctional.
