POLITICAL BULLSHIT

yeah, it kinda feels like the whole Russia/Ukraine war is in its endgame. Now we just need to see what Putin's 'backed into a corner' move is going to be.

[Martin]

Eat lead you Russian fuck.

Or better yet, dress him as a dog and enroll him to Raul’s Wild Kingdom.

[Anderson]

Just leave enough American sympathizers alive, so we can slide a puppet government into Moscow.

We need more eyes on Beijing.

Can you gist it?

Basically, 6 weeks over time in shoot, Coogler goes to an Atlanta based Bank of America to cash a check so he can buy basic supplies due to being in ATL way longer than expected.

Clerk freaks out over the amount of money and thinks she's being robbed. Coogler gets detained and Marvel Production on-site has to square shit away with the cops and the bank. Coogler being on the edge of losing his fucking mind being 7 weeks behind on a job that is taking forever, then get blasted all over the media for being involved in a racial profiling over a check cashing.

[BillyG]

Imagine being so racist you call the cops for a black dude having a big check IN ATLANTA.

I just realize I thought you were talking about the Ryan Coogler thing in the Secret Wars thread. This NY Times post is different.

This is about the Senate Judiciary going after Barr and his DOJ and Trump for illegally shaking down SDNY and illegally firing the prosecutors.

[Anderson]

Also, there's reason to believe that the DOJ has had a wiretap on Trump and they've been collecting calls on him for several days-weeks at this point.

[Matt]

the DOJ dropping 40 subpoenas is nice.

[Abraham Smashington]

So what are the odds that Trump and his cronies actually do time or kicked out of government completely?

Higher than ever. What irritates me about everything is they're pushing to get more and more and more, but there's a time when you got to stop for a moment and collect on what you have.

[Abraham Smashington]

I feel like I've been edging since 2016... I NEED THAT SWEET RELEASE.

[BillyG]

Getting worried they're swinging for a grand slam instead of knocking in a ton of singles and doubles.

What we know is to get the shitload of subpoenas and other actions last week, a ton of people had to flip.

It's just what they got to flip.

People keep imaging all of these doom scenarios, but what they ignore is the Washington machine's ability to function at Treebeard levels, but their ability to pat themselves on the back with the speed of Barry Allen.
