Lawrence O'Donnell has nailed it and been spot on all week re: Afghanistan.

People that say this a worse situation than Vietnam are either to young to remember, too stupid to see the truth or lying for political purposes. Of course the media is just blathering. His main point, and he is exactly
right, is that nobody can name a withdrawal from a losing a war that wasn't chaotic.

Anderson Cooper does another feature on UFOs on mainstream media.

And he commits the same errors and omissions almost all the mainstream
hosts do. 1) He offers the possibility that this could be Russian or Chinese technology, without emphasizing the obvious fact that this would represent the most incredible and improbable intelligence failure in the history of the US, if not history entirely. He does not explain, either, that the UFO/UAP phenomenon dates back many decades, if not much longer, which makes another country possessing this technology secretly virtually impossible. He reports as if the UFO/UAP subject is a recent discovery, when the military has known and investigated these objects for years. 2) Neither he, along with others in the mainstream media and government want to contemplate and discuss openly the world changing outcomes of an alien presence in our lives. There would be nothing of comparable magnitude in mankind's history.

It is time to have a serious conversation, about our response and preparation, to the only alternative to this technology being developed and possessed by humans and that is, it is of alien origin. Whether that be from another planet, dimension/time or unlikely, unknown hidden civilization somewhere on earth.

I am not at all convinced the alien hypothesis is the correct one, but I need someone to provide better explanations and answers than we are being given by people who give no credence to the possibility.

If Neera Tanden can't be named "acting director" why not name someone

as Director, who agrees privately to hire her as their second in command and allow her to make the decisions for the office? I'm sure someone could be found that could be confirmed that would be happy to take the position and salary and
"work" closely with Neera. Would Neera decline such a tacit agreement?

Why has Trump not been indicted yet in the Stormy Daniels crime?

He was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. Seems the evidence is already rhere.

It appears to me that there is going to need to be a concerted effort

over the next several years to infiltrate these rightwing organizations. Using former sympathizers and agents of various government entities will be necessary to do the type of dangerous, long term work this situation requires. Most criminal organizations, radical political movements and even legitimate governments have been compromised by dedicated people working from within these groups. The Israelis are masters of this type of espionage.

As native Georgians, now living in Mexico, but yes we voted

I have to say I am proud of my home state today and there have been way to many when i wasn't.
With incredibly competent people like Stacey Abrams and Katie Porter, my ticket for 2024, the future is bright.

The danger for Trump in issuing the pardons is

that anyone who accepts one and is then called to testify in a court case or congressional hearing has given up their fifth amendment rights and must testify truthfully to all questions under penalty of perjury, which are pretty severe. I imagine some of these clowns will happily give testimony that will be detrimental to Trump.

For anyone who wants the truth about how seriously the US Military is taking

UFO reports, or UAPs...unidentified aerial phenomenon, as they label them, you can check out the excellent article by Tom Rogan in the Dec. 2nd 2020 issue of The Washington Examiner.
In the article he discusses the Pentagon's Task Force, which has been investigating these sightings for years, as well as the briefings given to the Senate Intelligence Committe.
The Task Force issued statement that the possibility of the vehicles being of alien or non-human technology was a serious consideration.

The truth is there are lots of positives that will happen when Biden wins

1) It is gone from power and will be fighting legal battles for the rest of it,s years.
2) Biden will be able to rid the government of all the Trump scum in the cabinet and all federal agencies reversing the corrupt policies.
3) Biden will use the the power of Executive Orders to implement many positive changes and cancel the Trump EOs. Joe can put the Iran deal back in effect. he can revive our role in the Climate Change Accords, stop the horror at the borders and much, much more. EOs can only be stopped by congress, or the Court. But, the house will not do it and the courts have only narrow abilities in this regard.

One rarely gets all they want in politics or life, but the removal of Trump is the best thing that has happened to this country and losing would have been the end literally.

I've been an atheist for a long time.

But, I may just have to re-consider.
