With Twitter's demise said "imminent" by some, people are posting their all time favorite tweets. This was in poor taste but I couldn't resist sharing here:

It looks like Hunter Biden's reign of terror is about to come to an end.

If/when the Elmer Lee Todd family get notice of this, Stone and DiEugenio are potentially libel in film and book for not addressing the complete false characterization of Agent Todd as a devious conspirator, despite documents (as well as the ARRB) stating he did put his initials on CE399. Dr. Mantik has admitted his mistake and cleared himself by being honest and they know it was a blunder. 

 

Pretty sure you can't defame the dead. That's how Albert Goldman was able to write those sensational books about Elvis, Lenny Bruce and John Lennon. He couldn't be sued.

AP--

 

I dunno.

You realize that it was Mueller who was the FBI chief who all but shut down the investigation into 9/11? 

For me, the Mueller investigation, the 1/6 committee, the 9/11 commission  and the WC have common denominators:

1. Only the prosecution presented evidence, and that evidence was unchallenged. 

2. Only the prosecution presented witnesses, hand chosen and curated for effect. Those witnesses were unchallenged. 

3. The narrative, the unfolding story, was controlled by prosecutors. 

4. The media, which is mostly compliant anyway, is largely left to report on the witnesses and evidence presented, on daily deadlines. 

5. There is no judge to even try to make the process or formats impartial or fair.  

6. Many appeals are made to emotions, or patriotism, which generally play well in the media.

It took me a long time to realize this about the WC, and all government investigations: They have carte blanche to present the story they want to present---it is much, much better than actually trying to prosecute a target in a court of law.  

The WC was essentially a prosecutorial wet dream, an ex post facto show trial. Ditto with other public government investigations, such as the 1/6 or 9/11 shows. 

BTW, I am happy for Trump, or anyone else, to be fairly prosecuted in a court of law (as LHO deserved) with robust defense, and let the chips fall where they may. 

A government investigating itself in today's hyper-partisan and anti-populist environment?  I have reservations. 

 

Granted all of that but the Trump's refused to cooperate and told lies about everything. Seems he was left with no choice but to make a one sided presentment.

The fact that the medical personnel at Parkland are not believed is just mind boggling.

Putin Derangement Syndrome: When a Dictator Can Do No Wrong - WhoWhatWhy

I like Baker, but I think he misses a big part of what he is describing here -- at least from the rightwing perspective -- they like Russians because they are white.

Disappointing that Dems are blowing the midterms. They had the wind at their backs since summer and have done literally nothing to address or even talk about the economic challenges families face. It's all about abortion, cutlure wars, etc. Herschel Walker's election as a US senator will be fitting end to this place.

Gabbard's a shameless opportunist. Her spiritual leader taught her that "fags f&$^%ING each other in the ass" caused the AIDS epidemic. Wanting to run for office in blue Hawaii, she had to walk that back. In office, her best bud was Dana Rohrabacher. She was a chaos agent in the 2020 election.

The president's job is to protect the country. Ukraine was not trying to actively harm Americans; Saudi Arabia is trying to harm Americans, interfere in our elections, etc. Do you guys see the difference?

Hi Joe, 

 

There are people in this thread that activeltly believe that Putin hacked the 2016 election even though that has been Debunked. SO, what's the problem if people have an opinion different than you and Liz Cheney? There has never been an election that had hundred of thousands of votes come in creating an F curve (how symbolic for the Brandon administration!) in the middle of the night https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-afs:Content:9647421250

People war gamed the election and by just a coincidence what they predicted happened: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/08/06/election-2020-war-games-trump-vs-biden-race-show-risk-chaos/5526553002/

After gaming out various scenarios, the group said its conclusions were "alarming:" In an election taking place amid a pandemic, a recession and rising political polarization, the group found a substantial risk of legal battles, a contested outcome, violent street clashes and even a constitutional impasse.

"We assess with a high degree of likelihood that November's elections will be marked by a chaotic legal and political landscape," the Transition Integrity Project, which organized the "war games," said in a report this week.

The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election

The Secret history of the Shadow campaign that saved the 2020 is about how using the emergency powers created by the Pandemic people around the country changed the election rules of the country. 


When it comes to the second part of your rhetorical queston about Jan 6
Explain Ray Epps? Because to people like me the FBI looks like the Federal Bureau of Insurrection and you gotta prove to me that Trump wasn't going to the stage set up at the Supreme Court that Alex Jones and those people were going to. And that the original plan was to get a mob of people to surround the capital and start chanting making the politicians inside look really bad if they didn't throw out the electors from the states with the F curves. 
Now we have people who appear to glow breaking the line leading people like sheep into an unlocked building.
Thus stopping the chance of a recount and another Trump Presidency. 

 

Been denied, not debunked.

What good has it done? Serious question.

Biden pardoning thousands for federal marijuana possession charges and encouraging governors to do the same on state charges is pretty cool.

CB-

 

If I mentioned a shot at Z-390 I was mistaken. 

From what I can tell, JFK is shot in the throat while behind the Stemmons Freeway sign (from the viewer's perspective), JBC at ~Z-295 and then JFK at Z-312. 

Tink Thompson has posited a later shot. Personally, I do not see it. 

For me, the clear refutation of the SBT is the timing of shots: One at ~Z-295 and one at Z-312.

That works to less than one second between shots---clearly impossible with a single-shot, bolt action rifle. 

Add to that, the small round bullet hole in the rear of JBC's shirt. That absolutely rules out a "tumbling bullet." 

DVP's version requires that JBC after being shot through the chest from the rear, with a near mortal wound, from a very large slug, then turns around and does a 180-turn in his seat to look for JFK, and then JBC turns forward, and then imagines being shot in the back and pushed forward (a violent thrust forward captured in non-imaginary Z-film).  

I have to say, the DVP version just does not hold water: It does not conform with the clear testimony of JBC and his wife, or the indisputable record of the Z-film, or the indisputable small, round bullet hole in the rear of JBC's shirt. 

 

How could Connally, who was mere feet from JFK and himself shot, possibly know more than people on this forum about how things transpired? It's insane.

You want to know what the scariest part of this whole thing is?

Donald Trump said that he could declassify things just by thinking about them.

That means that if I want to file a Freedom of Information request to get access to our nuclear codes, I would have to get inside of Donald Trump's mind.

No thank you. I'll pass.

So how does he know that at 12:01 p.m. on Jan. 20, 2021 that Joe Biden didn't telepathically reclassify everything?

Thanks for the responses.

The authorities were scared of the possibility that Lee Oswald was outside during the time of assassination and photographed. 

So he obviously told them during his interrogation that's where he was during the shooting.

To me, it still makes no sense why authorities would care whether it was Billy Lovelady on the front steps in Altgens 6 (even a couple days later) if Oswald never claimed to be out on the steps watching the parade with Bill Shelley. Why would they care whether it was Lovelady or not?

On 9/20/2022 at 11:35 PM, Pat Speer said:

They didn't. The story that it was Oswald in the Altgens popped up weeks later, not that evening. 

I'd appreciate it if you could provide the source on this. It was a big factor in my believing Prayerman is Oswald. I've seen this stated many times and never saw any push back on it. Here's a thread from 2015 in which both Linda Giovanna Zambonni and Jon G. Tidd make the assertion and there is no pushback from anyone. It's on page 4 of this thread:

On 9/20/2022 at 12:49 PM, Jonathan Cohen said:

How about because they looked at the photo and, like most of us, saw enough of a resemblance to Oswald to warrant further investigation? What's unusual about that?

So they were afraid he was telling them the truth?

13 hours ago, Pat Speer said:

So let's be clear... A handwritten draft for an FBI report which contains the claim Oswald said he went outside to watch the parade that does not specify at what time he went outside (and which is not supported by any actual reports written by the FBI or DPD, or even the statements of the man who wrote this draft) is clear-cut evidence Oswald was outside at the time of the shooting... While a taped exchange with Oswald in which he is asked if he was in the building at the time of the shooting and responded in the affirmative is ambiguous...

Got it... 

Clear as mud...

 

Mr. Speer, if Oswald never stated he was outside watching the parade, why did the FBI freak out over Altgens 6 and take it to Billy Lovelady's house that evening to make him identify himself? 

My guess on why Putin invaded Ukraine when he did is that the last thing he wanted to do was make his asset Trump look weak. Trump's fake "strength" -- I've never seen a whinier, softer, less manly adult in my life -- is what his idiot followers love most about him. Weakening Trump was the last think he would want to do. Russia is hundreds of millions of dollars into propping up fascists in the west. They are playing the long game.

Hat tip this morning to the JFK Library, Twitter trolling Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott.

"To embarrass Northern liberals and humiliate Black people, southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides," giving Black people one-way tickets to northern cities with false promises of jobs, housing, and better lives."
