Look into Ratcliffe. That's who I'm hoping for. I think he's the real deal and quite formidable.

a reply to: The GUT

Gowdy is the bait.

Trump always says he's considering the candidate that pisses the left off most just to get a rise out of them.

Apologies. He turned down a federal judge position. He was in the running for AG when Sessions was chosen, so maybe. I'm not familiar with his legal standpoint in a lot if issues honestly, but maybe he would be a good choice.

ETA: My curiosity about his legal standpoints mostly regarded marijuana, as I think that federal legalization is an important stepping stone. He seems fairly relaxed on his views of marijuana.

Ask yourself WHY.

Over the summer, Sessions reversed a 2015 policy by then-Attorney General Eric Holder that placed strict limits on so-called “adoptive” forfeitures. Under these kind of forfeitures, state and local agencies can seize cash and other valuable property, transfer what they have confiscated to federal agencies (like the DEA or ICE), who then “adopt” the property to pursue forfeiture under federal law. Typically, forfeiting property under federal law is easier or more lucrative because safeguards for property owners found in many states’ laws are often missing.

The Department’s new policy strengthens the civil asset forfeiture program to better protect victims of crime and innocent property owners, while streamlining the process to more easily dismantle criminal and terrorist organizations.

www.justice.gov...

Moreover, under adoptive forfeitures, participating state and local agencies can collect up to 80 percent of the proceeds from forfeited property. That provides a significant incentive to skirt state law and police for profit. In the year before Holder’s announcement, local and state law enforcement collected $65 million in funding from adoptive forfeitures.

You know as well as I that if they were on their game they would have seen... and called out this as a fake?

The fact they made no comment on this means it is equally likely they missed a genuine tweet that was released.

Not being pushed to take a view before the data is in - so I will revisit tomorrow. Other stuff to get on with.

a reply to: RelSciHistItSufi

You know what? I can't find where it says that it was posted and taken down. The person who posted it in response to Salisbury doesn't have it posted on their tweets either. They have it in their multimedia but didn't bother to post it except as a reply to that twitter account and one other.

I doubt that the anons would miss any of Trumps tweets, which makes me think that since nobody else on infinity or anyplace else is mentioning it, then this person shopped and shared it twice and that is all.

Nice meme! I'm pretty sanguine that my stars won't stick here. But, the inability to upload my memes, frustrates me greatly.

For the pic of the Donald and Vlad almost shaking hands today...my dialog would be...well...actually is, but I can't upload it on ATS..."You!!!" "No, You!!!"

Sarcasm.

Neither of those guys are fully with you either.

Did anyone else notice the underworld statement Macron came out with today to POTUS?

CNN link

"Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism," he said through a translator. "Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying our interests first, who cares about the others, we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great and what is essential: its moral values."

"I know there are old demons which are coming back to the surface. They are ready to wreak chaos and death," he said. "History sometimes threatens to take its sinister course once again."

Possible reference to CERN or the Abyss?

a reply to: daskakik

I like you, dakakik.

You've probably been asked this before and I missed it, but do you feel there is a worldwide "cabal" of sorts that doesn't have our best interests at heart?

Secret Service did cancel POTUS trip to WWI gravesites.

It is not often that I give a journalist credit these days but in this case, I do give a salute to Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs. Her tweets were very helpful in actually giving the reason behind Trump’s decision. While angry Never Trumpers and their allies in the press were bashing President Trump for bad form in Europe, Jacobs reported that the trip was canceled due to the weather. Rain forced his helicopter to be grounded and Secret Service nixed the trip to the cemetery.

Yes, they are still citing bad weather as the reason because the helicopter was grounded and a motorcade would have been a logistical nightmare for 55miles, but it was Secret Service and not the President's call.

Want to talk about underworld? We were referencing Paradise Lost in here yesterday?

Check out the top line on this Yahoo story -

PARADISE, Calif. (Reuters) - Two deadly wildfires fueled by "devil winds" tore through opposite ends of California on Sunday, with residents urged to heed evacuation orders by officials forced to leave their own homes.

So the devils destroyed Paradise?

a reply to: ketsuko

The usual term is Santa Ana Winds
That's what happens this time of year. Every year.

a reply to: Phage

I know. They always make fire season a pain.
