I still treasure the day when I was told by "The best managed forum for intelligent convo as the news happens real time" that Karl Rove would be indicted in 24 business hours.

I just got off the phone with Jason Leopold
who clarified something for me that is pretty damned important. In his article, he said:

"During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning."

In point of fact, those 24 hours are "business hours," i.e. starting on Monday

Wondering if this has showed up on their "real time news" and what the intelligent convo sounds like? Another Brandon unconditional surrender.  :banghead:

US to withdraw from Niger after security pact fails in strategic victory for Russia

The US will withdraw more than 1,000 military personnel from Niger in a move that will force the Biden administration to rethink its counter-terrorism strategy and amounts to a strategic victory for Russia.

The decision comes a month after the west African country’s ruling military junta revoked a security pact with Washington that had allowed American forces on its soil to help fight jihadist terrorism.

The withdrawal, expected to occur over the coming months, will mean the closure of a US drone facility, known as Base 201, at Agadez in the Sahara that was opened in 2018 at a cost of $110m.

The base, one of the main US drone facilities in Africa, has been used in operations against jihadist groups in the Sahel region and was reportedly the launchpad for a series of deadly strikes against Islamic State fighters in Libya in 2019.
Since the coup, Niger’s new leaders have pursued closer ties with Russia, mirroring neighbouring Mali and Burkina Faso, where Russian military forces have established a presence.

Just days after the arrival of Russian military equipment and advisers in the country, thousands of protesters gathered in the Nigerien capital, Niamey, last week to demand the withdrawal of American forces.

They're waiting for their Party-Line FAX telling them how Trump is to blame for a coup that happened 2 1/2 years after LIEden took office.

The Drudge Report and the landing page of the DUmp are virtually identical.

Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that, I would hate to explain that to the school as to why I need a new monitor.

No money for either. I appreciate the donation a lot for the caring. Taking this down tomorrow sometime.

OK Matt, I just cannot ignore a family on the verge of starving I am willing to offer you $100 cash for your Playstation 5.

If you need additional cash next month we can discuss your Iphone 15.

12. Definitely the best news aggregator as well, IMO.

If someone tells me about something they've heard in the news, I usually already know more than they do about it. If I have to look it up, it's usually a fake story from the RWNJ's.

No matter how bad Biden (or any other dem leader looks), DU just seems to become more entrenched in their belief that he is somehow the right leader at the right time.

That is the definition of a cult. No aspect of the group or any of the leaders can ever be criticized in any way. You have to pretend that everything is great!
