It doesnt give any of you reservation that this essentially encompasses every major conspiracy in history into one tight knit ball?
Scorpion is an American dramatic television series, inspired by the true story of Walter O'Brien (aka Scorpion), a genius who recruits other geniuses to help solve complex problems of the world. Inspired by a true story, SCORPION is a quirky, humor-filled adrenaline rush that follows an eccentric genius and his network of nerdy prodigies.
They operate as a think tank formed by Homeland Security, and their task: to deal with the complex threats of the modern age. Solving the most mind-boggling national issues comes naturally to them, but these socially awkward misfits can't seem to get out of their own way when it comes to life outside the laboratory.
The Post reported on December 22 that Khashoggi worked closely with QFI executive director Maggie Salem, to the extent that Salem drafted many of his columns for the Post.
This seems difficult to square with the reporting. According to text messages between Khashoggi and Salem, she “at times shaped the columns he submitted to the Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government.” In other words, Salem was using Khashoggi as a tool against the Saudis. But on behalf of whom?
The answer is clear when we remember that this was not the first time that Salem or QFI had disparaged Saudi Arabia. In July 2017, a month after Saudi Arabia and its allies severed political and economic ties with Qatar, QFI and the Qatari-regime-owned Al Jazeera jointly produced a propaganda video condemning the so-called “blockade.” In November, QFI organized a panel discussion claiming that that the Gulf states’ isolation of Qatar was due to “fake news,” a claim that QFI’s executive director Maggie Salem explicitly endorsed on Twitter. Salem’s handling of Khashoggi seems clearly in the same vein, intended to whip up opposition to Saudi Arabia in order to benefit her paymaster, Qatar.

Do you know the date each of those two GITMO aerial photos were taken?
Are we dogs or swine, Mr. Mason? Science says we can't be both.

I am sorry, no. I was hoping someone could look at it closer, as it came to me in just that form.
After only two years in office, in the face of unprecedented and relentless resistance from the Democrats, the media, and the metastasizing Mueller investigation, President Trump has accomplished more than many presidents accomplish in two terms.
Ever notice that replies to @realDonaldTrump are filtered to only show negative comments?
Try replying with a negative word, first, then add a positive comment to break the algorithm.
Ex. "Awful. Trump is the best President."
See if it works.
