I read it and it seems like someone can't explain where the next bin Laden is going to be from and how and why. | ||

He’s saying that Bin Laden came from SA in spite of the actions in places other than SA “creating” him. So the next one does not have to be Iranian. It be a person from Qatar who loses someone because of an attack from Iran responding to the US even. His point is when you fuck around there are many unintended consequences you don’t see for a long time and they are rarely a direct line. | ||

Premise: “this new US supported proxy war is like the last US supported proxy war where people like Bin Laden came from all over the Islamic world to fight” You: “so you’re saying that the fighters are going to be locals from the place where the conflict is?” Me: “what are you, some kind of idiot?” You: “yes” | ||

Not sure what changes to expect, they're both morons. Maybe Mullin will double down on all the stupid shit to prove he's more hardline. | ||

She was one of the faces of his administration, he obviously took the last term's revolving door of appointments as something not to be repeated and he stuck to his guns for all the top officials, no matter how dumb, incompetent or corrupt they show to be, he stuck to his guns, up until now. I guess this is a good sign, I think they are really seeing some very, very bad polls on a bunch of stuff and are trying to course correct, I don't think it will work but it's been the first real sign of weakness that he projected as far as his commitment to appointments go (I'm aware he sacked the signal gate moron but that's a minor guy compared to this ghoul who was on TV-s in every airport in USA). I have a feeling Kash Patel might be next, he did all the really dirty shit he might go to jail for with stopping investigations and covering up the really problematic Epstein files and he's really been catching fire lately over the blatant corruption surrounding his girlfriend. In conclusion, always nice to see a terrible person get fucked over by another terrible person, I hope she gets prosecuted by the next administration for all the blatantly corrupt shit she did with awarding her pals the PR campaigns for DHS, buying the jets, taking the plane from Coast guard etc. | ||

My guess is that there was something corrupt, idiotic or evil she wasn't willing to do for Trump. Historically it always has been about 100% personal loyalty to Trump over anything else. And never about being less corrupt. | ||

Can’t link images but Yougov just released a poll claiming 50% of polled individuals support outright abolishing ICE. That includes 23% of Republicans. That’s how badly she handled everything. | ||
