To not follow up on it, probably would have been dereliction of duty. To use it as a basis for multiple FISA warrants, certainly seems to be a far grosser dereliction of duty; especially as we now know that they had proof it was bogus by the time they requested the 1st renewal at the latest, and likely much sooner than that.

Except even the OP recognized that asking this thread to remain pristine (for lack of a better word) to only thoughts elicited from 1st hand reading of the FISA report by members of this community would have been better had he waited until after the 400+ page report had been out long enough for people to have actually read it. This thread would be very empty at present as almost all of us have day jobs and at best nobody has made it past the executive summary at present. (With DR a potential notable exception to having only read that far.)

Not positive that it is. If Tennessee wins, then 3 of the 4 teams the Bills needed to win this week to clinch will have done so. (The Bills being the sole holdout of the 4 sadly.) Unless beating Baltimore was crucial for tie breakers including common opponents, a single Bills win the last 3 weeks should clinch (again, assuming Tennessee holds on and Oakland loses). Because any win from here on out improves the conference record for the Bills.

Has to be some sort of 'this is NOT how Thanos destroyed the Infinity Stones' joke to be made in there somewhere.

So, at the very least, there is one accomplishment of Tulsi Gabbard that all Americans can endorse.

A few years back, a similar situation happened in NJ. The Dems just changed the rules and ended up with a different guy that wasn't supposed to be on the ballot winning.

He also has conveniently said that Sondlund said the quid pro quo was about both the meeting and the aid when Sonlund pretty explicitly said the quid pro quo he believed was there was about the meeting and not the aid money.

Pretty sure he worked through those a loooong time ago. He's been working on everybody else's since.

My kids will have graduated in the past 2 school years. They won't have a penny of debt due to scholarships, their own and my (and my wife's) resources. Why the **** should our costs not be reimbursed if you are forgiving other student loans?

No, no, no. He isn't a liar; he's a satirist. Just ask him. (Still think the ultimate plot twist would be to find out he's really Andy Kaufman. It would explain soooo much.)

1984 springs to mind. Though it would've been close.

Which also doesn't address why somebody who took loans out should end up with college for free when a lot of people paid for their or their kids' education end up being out $50-100k?

It seems Wired took the tweet / article down. Tried to get to it twice and got a message that the page doesn't exist.

Well, she only said the marriage was abusive; she didn't say her husband was the abuser. Considering he's the 1 that filed for divorce, we can infer why she didn't specify him as the abuser.

Well, isn't their best play right now to do something to get independents to not watch the circus perform and yet get their base enthused? This could check both boxes.

She's also the girl who's best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors.

Seeing Schiff in that meme, was wondering if anybody actually saw the "corpse" of Andy Kaufman? This would be way more elaborate a charade than the Tony Clifton one. And would explain so much.

Was going to ask if this would still leave him as her brother, but guess that was her other husband, and neither of those was the guy who's marriage she seems to have broken up.

Really hoping this doesn't end up another Tiennamin Square incident. Those protesters are brave mf'ers.

True, but the hard left and the hard right consistently and (at least up through now thankfully) wrongly believe these towards the middle want their brand of looney.

ICIG says whistle-blower checked off on form that he / she had 1st hand info and also checked off that he / she had 2nd/3rd hand info. ICIG further states that 1st hand info isn't required under the statute and that is why the form was revised. Having read the whistle blower's complaint, really not sure what the 1st hand info was; especially after having read the transcript of the phone call.

I can NOT be the only one waiting for the Snopes fact check of this one. It'll be gold, Jerry, GOLD!

Depends. Did it fall on a conservative American? 'Cause if it did, pretty sure he would. The Farce is strong with that one.

If you changed it to "he died because a tree fell on him" you'd get at least a chuckle out of Gator. But, yeah, leaving it at 'he hates trees because he was crippled when 1 fell on him' probably only elicits a slight grin from him.

Veal, obviously.
