If Gates, through his agents, acting under his employment, committed malfeasance against Dutch citizens, I think he would be held liable. What happens after that is a question. Suppose he had simply beaten up these people and skipped the country as a fugitive criminal? How would that be different?

Or Flynn actually disavows Q, and any connection between him and Q is illusory. Sometimes, a cigar is only a cigar.

This does not fall under the Constitutional definition. "Sabotage" may be more applicable. Certainly one hell of a civil suit, if nothing else.

It is a real problem with addicts and mental patients who are on their own recognizance, agree to prescribed medications, but will simply not take them. And they don't respond to treatment. It takes a while to sort out that this is happening, and then you have to invoke a more stringent regime, where someone else is administering the prescription medicine. But a recalcitrant patient may contrive not to swallow the pill and spit it out afterward. This all happened with my stepdaughter. Fortunately, we finally got her into a more favorable environment and she has been living clean since doing so.

So, it may be interesting to those who have not heard of it, but it is totally commonplace in the realm of healthcare.

I definitely agree. The interviewer is obliged to ask clear questions. The interviewee is obliged to give clear answers. If the Interviewee veers off on some tangent, the interviewer has the right (and responsibility) to get the interviewee back on topic. How can you "interrupt" a non-answer? Time was fleeting and the interview had already been pre-emptively cut in half.

A case of "Shoot! Ready! Aim!"

Of course it's a coincidence. The odds are about 1 in 7 for placement in the week, and we have twelve of them (17th of month) in a year. So the combined odds are about 12/7 = 1.7 times/year. But it is nevertheless a noteworthy coincidence.

I read it also as bitterness. As though she has a presentiment that she will lose, maybe on account of the Baier interview. The bitterness of the entitled, denied.

Don't read too much into the X-37 deployment. Everything in the world is happening just weeks before the election. I have doctor appointments just weeks before the election!---completely meaningless. Don't substitute imagination for knowledge.

Besides, the X-37 will, for the most part, not be over the United States. That is the nature of orbital motion. We already have communications intelligence satellites aloft, and they have the same problem.

Not logically possible for a foreign national to commit "treason" when there is no war and the foreign national has no political obligation the the United States.

There are applicable crimes, such as election interference, or even sabotage or espionage. I completely agree with the necessity to identify the crimes correctly, if only for our own clarity of thought and appropriate response.

Is that 6 PM Eastern Time? It helps to identify the time zone. That would be 3 PM Pacific Time. But thanks for the heads-up.

Ready and waiting for my ballot.

The word that comes to mind is "vacuous." I've had more meaningful conversations with my cats.

Too vast a topic to be discussed here. If you are asking sincerely, I can suggest reading the Geneva translation of the Bible. The archaic English takes some getting used to, but it precedes versions that have agendas (e.g., King James version) and "modern" linguistic interpretations.

If he is much like me, he is not a "shill." Which means you rely on prejudice.

No, it just shows someone who is intelligent enough, and having enough personal integrity, to dispel her bloviating to get to an answer. (Me, I might have let her bloviate, run out of steam, and then say, "So your answer is that you don't know how many illegal aliens have crossed the border. Okay. Next question..." But then I might not have gotten but one question in the time available.)

"Patriots are in control" was present tense at the time it was posted. There have been no Q posts for quite some time. The only one really in control is God, so I suggest we contain our consecrations for the right party and keep an open mind.

He asked decent questions, but she squirted ink like a cuttlefish. He pointedly tried to get her to steer back to the question, but she just did a fan dance (they call it filibuster, but that's too close to being coherent). The session was supposed to be 30 minutes, but they chopped it down to less and then urgently signed that they had to wrap and go. This was the toughest session she had ever seen, lasted barely 15 minutes, reduced her to gaslighting and platitudes, and got her staff so antsy they closed the show as soon as they could. I don't think there is any evidence that Baier pulled any punches. All this puppet-dancing theory is sheer fantasy.

Along with the false idea that there are no coincidences, there is also the false idea that there is no such thing as stupidity, ineptitude, and failed strategy. Strong in these minions, the Dunning-Kruger Effect is.

Oh, yes. But according to Chief Justice Marshall it was first known as the Democratic Party, then later changed its name to mollify those suspicious of the word "Democrat". Years later, they just dropped the word "Republican." This was after the Whigs had supplanted the Federalists. This is the value of reading the original accounts.

I recently read Chief Justice George Marshall's biography of George Washington, which was mainly a history of his times. The then Democrat Party (disguised in subsequent history as the "Democrat-Republican Party") was no good from the beginning, wanting to run an insolvent government on credit and being enamored of the revolutionary government of France. I was amazed to read of the familiarity of its tendencies from a passage of over 200 years.

NK is making a big deal about building more advanced military technology: ICBMs, nuclear submarines. And now this. Kim Yong Un is sitting on a boil and is acting antsy. Not a movie.

Is this really true? On its face, it would stand as perhaps the only decent thing Biden has done.

Because it is unbelievable.

I'm almost at a loss for words. This would be somewhere between disgusting and appalling.

Hadn't thought of that. I was supposing it would be interpreted as a break in the game, and they would assume the sitting party in office would continue. Of course, this would simply be a coup...
