Thank you, Geezer. Glad to see you're a treehugger like me now. I knew you would bend to my will eventually.
Meantime, cuisine imperialism of the rebel states? I'm all ears. BBQ, the Allman Brothers and AlabamAlum aren't enough of a contribution to make me forget the many drawbacks.

The Pentagon posted video to prove that the raid in Yemen yielded great inside info on terrorist operations. Therefore the operation was a resoundng success, despite the deaths of a dozen or so civilians, a Navy SEAL, and the loss of a $90M Osprey helicopter. Only problem is it was a video widely available on the net nearly a decade ago.

I follow news of special operations closely. There are a couple of things to note. First, from our side, you are going to hear nothing that is accurate about the planning or execution of the mission. You may know of it, and in this case of the death of one of the participants, but beyond that there is always disinformation...... especially in regards to any intelligence that may have been gained. Occasionally, you may be told of one of the key targets in the mission being killed or captured but only if this serves the purpose of shaping the enemy's perception of the impact of the operation - in this case IS.
From the other side, you will always here about innocent women and children being killed and equipment used carrying out the raid being captured/shot down/crashed.
The point is very little information that is in the public domain and provided by US officials has anything to do with what actually happened.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Hack... it is relevant to say news about one party bitching about how a president responds or doesn't respond really isn't news. It's politics. It's not about the issues. It's about making someone look bad.

Originally posted by Dr. Strangelove View PostInside the Immigration Order fuckup...Bannon made an unannounced visit to DHS to try and browbeat Kelly into keeping the ban on green card holders.

Here's the concluding paragraph:
If the White House is now serious about working with the Cabinet, that?s a positive sign and means that this series of events had a constructive impact on policymaking. But there?s a good chance that this won?t be the last time Kelly, Mattis and Tillerson will have to confront Bannon and Miller. Score their first battle as a tie.
For now, I'm going to give DJT some credit for choosing the major players in his inner circle if the dynamics of their interactions to date are any indication of giving such credit.
I've done a good deal of reading about Bannon and Tillerson. I know Mattis, not personally but I followed his USMC Career. The article does a good job, at least as I read it, of portraying the interplay between Trump's political advisors (of which Bannon is one) and the key cabinet members, especially defense, state.
Trump likes controversy and probably fosters a certain level of confrontation among his inner circle. There is some sense in doing this. It usually brings out the best arguments for or against a particular course of action.
It took me a while to fully understand the Immigration EO. While I understand the intent, while not agreeing or disagreeing with that, I believe it was poorly implemented. We'll let the courts settle whether or not it is legal and I'll try to avoid getting puffed up about that outcome one way or the other.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished.

Democrats like to scold Trump voters for their fondness for fake news -- and it is true that more fake news supporter Trump during the election. But they often like to pretend they haven't fallen for fake news stories themselves.

One of the amazing things about this Presidency is that it is the most leak-friendly environment of my lifetime. The lifelong civil employees despise a lot of their bosses...many of the bosses despise each other...
