They’re running JM/WAVE 2 out of a retirement community
NEW FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: The mystery spy plane that flew near a series of CIA-linked attacks on fishing boats earlier this year was first owned by a company based in The Villages, the mega-retirement community in Florida.
Members of the Morse family, the prominent GOP donors who developed and operate The Villages, signed documents on behalf of the corporation, which has no online presence or public profile.
Our investigation further reveals a web of contractors whose involvement directly links back to the CIA's rendition program after 9/11 and the agency's long history of operating a covert fleet of aircraft for logistics, transport and intelligence-gathering and reconnaissance purposes.
The Galápagos attacks were part of a CIA “covert action” program that resulted in the disappearance of eight fishermen, The Washington Post previously reported. No government has claimed responsibility for the strikes.
This summer, the General Counsel of The Villages dissolved the company that previously owned the spy plane.

Sounds like the Spurs knew what they were doing then
Dejounte Murray says he asked Rich Paul to get him traded from the Spurs during his rookie year because of the organization's mind games
“I'm busting Tony's ass in practice. I'm busting Patty Mills’ ass in practice. I'm locking them up. I'm like, damn, give me five minutes, give me seven minutes. Then they send me to the G League”
“Then as time start going, they bringing a point guard from Argentina that's close with Manu, playing in front of me. And mind you I'm behind Tony, Patty, but they playing these mind games. They trying to see if they could break me, not knowing you can't break me. They want you to break yourself”
“And they doing that though. I'm at home tripping. They playing other guys that was second round picks, undrafted in front of me. Now I'm just like, what's going on? I'm hitting Rich [Paul]. I'm like, ‘I gotta get traded.’ He's like, ‘You ain't got no value.’ I'm like, this is too much. What did they put me through, I don't understand”

I’m not saying I knew it for a fact, but I’ve always hated every British tv show because spiritually it’s not difficult to imagine every person above the line and on camera was molesting any mammal within reach between takes on set.

It’s funny how if you expand this line of thinking for CIA assets you become a tinfoil hat lunatic.
“Chinese spy” is a short hand. It’s unlikely Alice Huang was a full time fully trained intelligence officer. But that’s not the only type of “spy.” It looks like she was more of a shady businesswoman who reported to and thereby worked for the MSS. A front. A bagwoman. A cutout. An asset. Call it what you will. The point is that she was a national security risk passing intel to our adversary. That’s a “Chinese spy” in the common sense understanding of the term.

People on the left can often venture into being too edgy by posting about Cultural Revolution, gulags, etc., but I feel like for people whose politics are not just an intellectual pursuit they don’t actually believe we can avert disaster without some LIGHT authoritarianism

I think a lot of the DSA have swung too far trying to correct the ills of “Reddit atheism” by giving too much slack to religious zealotry to seem “normal”. With that said, there is only one religion with an ethnostate made in their name whose genocide my tax dollars are funding

I would trade your life for the fallopian tube of a mother if I could.
So you're willing to trade the life of the unborn child for the fallopian tube of the mother?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Ectopic pregnancies implant outside the uterus, typically in a fallopian tube, and are never viable. They cannot result in a live birth and require prompt treatment to prevent rupture and life-threatening bleeding for the mother.

People in LA love to get bent out of shape when people refer to Los Feliz or Echo Park as the Eastside because everyone decided that the 5 or DTLA was the center of the city when it isn’t.

The problem with connecting Bernie’s campaigns to AOC is that Bernie wasn’t drafted. He spent decades building credibility and mostly eating shit until he picked the moment where young people had caught up. Just because we need her to be it doesn’t mean she is.

Great film, Dennis.
#tbt: In "Absolute Power," I star with Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, and Laura Linney. Our amazing cast tells the story of ruthless people and a crime with one witness. Did you see it? (Image: Castle Rock)

What’s interesting is the film is not that subtle about it, and yet it became canonized for modern audiences as an empowering female performance because most people can only metabolize narrative as personal identification with characters so yelling at a whiny bf is cathartic.
Im gonna break the mold here say she was very abusive.
The son had an accident, went blind and she blamed the husband for it and started to cheat openly while he sunk into self loathing (which she encouraged) and she regularly hit him and he sunk deeper until he killed himself
