My latest in @lawfaremedia.org: Nihilistic Violent Extremists (NVE) closely resemble two other forms of mass violence that have evaded simple characterization: incels and school shooters. Ambitious efforts to better classify such violence should be applauded. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/a-te...

AOC: Oh, hell no. It was a joke. This was not a serious intelligence briefing. This was the communication of an opinion.

What does the Epstein file deadline, Rob Reiner‘s death post blowback, and the Vanity Fair article lead to?
An act of WAR against Venezuela.

Radio transmissions reviewed by CNN show that the pilots of a private jet narrowly avoided a collision with a United States Air Force refueling tanker near Venezuela on Saturday – one day after a similar incident nearby.

There is a deep read in the NYT today on how Epstein exploited greed to amass $Billions. The stock markets are corrupt, rigged shitholes, now being joined by crypto. The tax system is an immoral cheat theatre. It's time for class warfare...but this time not by the Reaganites and Trumpers.

On Canadian tv if Trump does a press conference they run about 30 seconds then cut away adding “he’s just repeating things he’s been saying for years” that’s what US tv needs to do. Shut him off. He just rambles.
