on the one hand, actually based CIA tactic.
On the other, again, you don't hate journos enough. Of all the things you report the CIA doing, why something that's a net benefit? Orange Man Bad, that's why.

Can't wait to see some Hellfires slamming into their fucking armored cartel trucks. The fact that the cartel has their hands on anything like that and are operating with impunity shows how badly the mexican government has failed.

Latvians aren’t Slavs. They are Baltic. They have a completely different religion and culture from Slavs.

Paternal haplogroups R1a and N1a1-Tat are the two most frequent, reaching 39.9% each among ethnic Latvians.[50] R1a is associated with spread of Indo-European languages. R1a of Latvians is predominantly M558, and compared to other populations like South Slavs and West Slavs, Latvians also have the highest concentration of M558 among R1a. N1a1-Tat mutation originated in Northeast Asia and had spread throughout the Urals into Europe, where it is currently most common among Finno-Ugric, Baltic and East Slavic peoples. Latvians and Lithuanians have a predominance of the L550 branch of N1a1-Tat.

N1c1a was present in 41.5%, R1a1a-M558 in 35.2% and I1 (M253) in 6.3% of the samples analyzed.[51] In lower levels, 2.5% of I2b (M223) and 0.6% I2a (P37.2) – haplogroups historically associated with western hunter-gatherers – were found as well.

Genetically, Latvians cluster closest with neighboring Lithuanians and Estonians; to a lesser extent with Poles, Czechs, Scandinavians, Germans, and Belarusians.

Are you from europe? just curious because over here we usually dont let others police our speech, especially when its a littoral "public fourm" and im just sharing a rather inoffensive non bombastic opinion about something that relates to the boards topic, US politics via NASA funding

your making it sound like im shizoposting about the moon exploding as opposed to responding to another posters info about US info of a large scale disaster

Ill try not to shit up to much more than is necessary but you can always set me to ignore negro

I get people dont always agree with my position but my balls are of sufficent size that you cant just come up like a fellow member of the mental asylum and be like "dude, be better" and Ill be like "Ohh yes massa im so sorry I was talking about the complex topics that made your head hurt"

Here is the projected impact path.

View attachment 6997394

Apparently according to NASA and their metrics, the asteroid would release energy equivalent to 7.8 megatonnes of TNT (32.6 PJ) if it were to impact Earth at its predicted velocity at atmosphere entry of 17.32 km/s (10.76 mi/s), equivalent to about 367 of the "Fat Man" bomb dropped on Nagasaki, 2 and a half of Grapple Y, 51% of Castle Bravo, or 15.4% of Tsar Bomba.

I actually didn't realize this, thought they were British. I guess they have dual citizenship. Ok, still don't like it, but that changes my opinion somewhat.

Bottom G's dad was involved with US Military Intelligence. It's actually not terribly unusual to have US pop culture figures with parents who are involved with the US intelligence community. Just look up Laurel Canyon and the music acts surrounding it.

You realize Tate has been abusing every procedural loophole to keep the trial from happening and got caught by wiretaps in his jail cell discussing bribing officials and ccordinating with various influencers on his payroll on how to intimidate and smear witnesses and victims?
Seriously, go read the Jane Doe countersuit or the various leaks from the Romanian court: They are filled to the brim with Tate self-incriminating about trafficking women, coercing them about doing cam porn and OF, lusting after underage b& and tons of other shit. Thanks to this we also know he signed up one of his girlfriends as a camwhore with MFC while she was underage.

THe man and his brother are career criminals and exactly the kind of scum that should rot in a foreign prison.

Look, I don't disagree that the Tates deserve to rot in a Romanian prison where Andrew can finally enjoy being the power bottom he clearly wants to be, but Romania has been fucking around with this. For something that's a slam dunk, they can't seem to bring it home. Either way, the American government should have the backs of American citizens, even if I don't particularly like the citizens in question. I'm sure that Romania and the US legal systems can work together to deal with whatever real crimes the Tates have committed, if Romania can get it's head out of its ass about it.

Or he'll finally piss off Eastern European organized crime enough that he'll have an "accident" and the point will be moot.

I just need to put this somewhere so that it’s out of my body and lives somewhere outside of my panicked mind.

I am so afraid. Full body chills, sobbing crying afraid. I feel like Im on a rollercoaster that won’t stop as an American woman. A Black woman especially. Mass firings of Black people in government. The destabilizing of our nation’s public health. As an epidemiologist that is killing me too. But now, to have a bill introduced (for the second time) that is intentionally vaguely worded and would erase married women’s right to vote is insanity. And no one is reacting. Men don’t care. And everyone is hoping it just blows over. Or maybe they want this. “Let the men handle it.” I don’t know.

And having looked at the proposed budget and tax policy changes (200 points at that) that is gonna be voted on soon—coupled with these tariffs—it seems that the plan is to make life for single people so expensive that it forces people to pair off to survive.

And it would be easy for our companies to shut off our bank account access. If by executive decree (which no one is fighting despite most of them being nonsense or highly illegal) or martial law (which Trump keeps threatening).

And for Peter Thiel to have said this country only started going down when women got the right to vote and now to see the SAVE Act here and looming, I am not handling the stress well. Truly.

I keep thinking of the logistics of that.

Would that not lead to an immediate economic crash? Would they care? What is the end game of that? I mean, what happens to women if we need men to sign bank accounts for us (ex. My mother needed that when she was my age.) As a single woman with no family, I worry. Every moment of the day. I cant find any peace. My therapist is trying to help but he feels (even as a Buddhist anarchist) that rule of law will either hold or everything will come crumbling down and something new and better will be built.

But what happens to women. In that delusion, in all these hypothetical discussions, in all the lawsuits, the infighting, the talking heads on TV, what happens to women and girls? Black women? Women of color? All of us?

Any perspective to stop the spiral helps lol. Thanks.
