I don't want to go full copy editor on anyone, but shouldn't that be knob-slobberer?

Whoever was the head of the CIA at the time should be fired from whatever job they have now for having failed to intercept the package and coat the q-tips in Covid virus. If Israel can intercept and sabotage hundreds of pagers, the CIA should be able to intercept and sabotage a freaking Covid test.

Especially because they were being sent *by* the government presumably.

That’s the America I want to live in!

Trump is a total sleazebag who has lost it mentally, and he's slow, lethargic, incompetent and overall a boring person with no personality.

There. I fixed it for you.

I gotta say, Drumpf has found the perfect lickspittle in Steven Cheung.

I'm not convinced it isn't John Barron ghost-writing these press releases. Sure sounds like him.

He even looks the part.

He's more creepy-weird than odd.

Except his first name would be Blow

Gosh, who should I trust? Trump's lackeys, the Kremlin, or Bob Woodward? This is a real freakin' Sophie's choice, here.

Hillary

She was right on the money in 2016, but that all got flushed down a James Comey-sized email investigation memory hole.

Expand full comment

Hell, she was right on the money in 1998, when she called out the "vast, right-wing conspiracy" that was angling to take over the country, and got mocked and derided by our oligarch-owned "liberal media."

It was also HILLARious how "but her emails" replaced any concerns about the 22 MILLION emails that "went missing" from Bush the Lesser's Misadministration.

I would like it investigated exactly how buddy buddy ol’ Comey was with the NY FBI guy who was indicted for basically being a foreign agent working on Russia’s behalf

Does anyone still care about his secret pool house documents, or was that yet another thing that just tired investigators out?

we're waiting for 11th circuit to weigh in on cannon's absurd dismissal of the case. i think it's december or january.

that one actually has a decent chance of coming back to life.)

Expand full comment

Jack is being strategic and getting as much info out into the public as possible before the election, once Harris wins then he can bring the hammer down on Cannon and get her tossed from the case.

Then the fun begins.

That case is currently tied up in Florida because the judge is a Trump appointee.

"That case is currently tied up in Florida because the judge is a Trump slobbering acolyte."

FTFY. She's just making shit up outta whole cloth.

Trump is refusing intelligence briefings from our own services but is still having phone sex with our enemy.

Definitely on brand.

Expand full comment

He's probably just not taking them because he suspects they're being laced with misinformation traps that can be traced back to him when they show up on the Kremlin's doorstep...

Expand full comment

Honestly, if our intelligence community wasn't doing that the second he left office, they should be fired.

Expand full comment

I'm actually glad he's not taking the briefings

I would like to know who's reading them instead ...

"Successfully suing" um, no. Unless you count a lawsuit that hasn't been laughed out of court for lack of standing or some other foundational principle. Then, even that only means your lawyer isn't a dipshit. You ain't successful until the verdict.

Is Cheung going to call Putin names? Please proceed.

I just noticed! When Comments was changed to Discussion About this Article last week some time, I asked WHY? Now we are back to Comments. WHY? Make up your overlord minds, and thank you.

P.S. "Comments" is much more appropriate.

The IMAX legal brigade is going to face layoffs when Kamala is elected, because nearly all their business now is in dealing with fuckhaids like Steven Cheung.

Expand full comment

IMAX makes movies about people like Cheung????

Expand full comment

I should have been more specific. The IMAX patent infringement legal brigade. Going after projectors like Cheung.

I get it, but I'm afraid it's a little too obtuse.

😀😀😀

abstruse

Expand full comment

I still don't get it. What does Cheung have to do with IMAX technology, which goes back to the 1980s?

Expand full comment

Cheung is PROJECTING.

Expand full comment

"Projecting" is both a Freudian term and a moving-picture term.

Words matter.

Expand full comment

It's a pun, or play on words

Expand full comment

Yes, they do, which is rather amazing to me that you don't grok the overlap here....

How is it that drumpf isn’t already on constant intel surveillance? Surely our country’s intel system knows what he’s been up to? The man is a perpetual security threat.

Expand full comment

I’m sure the spooks here are just like every other intelligence service just seeing what’s up at his Florida trash palace and reporting back to their superiors.
