Pretty decent watch including the role of the news industry in the Iraq war. Lots of memories in the footage included from those times.

They can accept the unjust deaths of millions, but getting people hooked on heroin is where they draw the line?

Is this supposed to be a felony or misdemeanor? Charging him with a misdemeanor would probably do more harm than good, especially if they can't get a conviction.

This seems like the least meaty of his various crimes. I'd love to see him in prison, but don't have a very good feeling about how this will go and if he ends up getting out of it, it just gives him and his supporters validation and a rallying point.

I think you think you're doing something important by exposing wrong-doing in the world. However, what most conspiracy theories actually do is overwhelm people with noise and they miss the actual evil #### that happens. So you're actually doing the opposite of what I think you're trying to do.

No, no one noticed that because every premise of your statement is false, or just doesn't make any sense.

Fentanyl is an opioid.
It is far from the first synthetic opioid.
Afghan poppies have nothing to do with the opioid crisis.

It's not a step too far, it's just factually incorrect.

It was announced earlier that Trump is going to be indicted tomorrow and that the expectation will be that Trump will be taken in maybe this weekend.

I must have missed that. Out of curiosity, was this announced by a reliable source, or just the routine rumours surrounding this story?

Trump posts an article that has a picture of him with a baseball bat and the Manhattan DA after he says "HE IS JUST CARRYING OUT THE PLANS OF THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED, AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL!"

Totally not inciting violence right?

Trump'll try to cut plea deals to save his wrinkled, un-bronzed ass. Watch.

He'd rat out his kids and every associate if he has to.

He's loyal to nobody.
