I think there were some quotes in the new story that hadn't been reported which may have made it seem more alarming.

OTOH it was really freaking alarming from the moment it was reported and nobody seems to care, so 🤷‍♂️
my god what a fucking clown car this admin is www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
I have many thoughts on Dick Cheney, but one thing I feel pretty confident in saying is that if you're dunking on a woman on the occasion of the passing of her father, consider that you might be a Uniquely Terrible Person™
“This story is adapted from the forthcoming book by Leonnig and Davis, “Injustice: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department,” which will be published Nov. 4 by Penguin Press.”

Fuck Jake Tapper and these fucking people
I'm starting to think that the mere fact that Orangeface McBonespurs is president at all is itself evidence that we're living in a simulation
Never thought id say this, but Go Birds
There should be a “skip to the point” button for conversations.
the dirty little secret is that this is what they think of (and how they treat) EVERYONE... who is not them

I've finally figured this administration out.
Very sorry for your loss, Dave.
lol (a) is the only good news imho, Patel gutting FBI for his surges was always silly
I think you may be ascribing more deep thought to the framers of this idea than they've actually devoted to it, Zach. If one were trying to completely neuter the IC's CI capability, I can't think of a better way to do it than giving the whole shebang to the ODNI, the definition of a superfluous org

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says
My name is Pagliacci, Clown of Clowns. Look on my works, ye doctors; I despair.
Thought bubble: Why don't we do redistricting based on some scientific and objectively determinable measure, administered by a non-partisan independent group, rather than allowing political parties to play tug-of-war with each other & gerrymander their way to staying in power? 🤷‍♂️

Nah it'd never work
Here’s a little Pacific Northwest autumn 🍂 timeline cleanser for you:
