VP Pence was called back to the WH to deal with an emergency. He was on AF2, going to an event in Salem NH. The event has been cancelled.
Where is flotus?
What you say should seal the deal. That’s
exactly the temper of the times and how
it went down. Haig was seen afterwards as
a puffed-up little man.
Sorry for the trigger finger on the message. I saw earlier that your had been jumped. Sorry about piling on.
I probably should mention this: I’ve been burned by more than one “breaking news” story here, posted it on my favorite liberal site, only to end up with egg on my face. It won’t happen again. What I do is prepare to post, then research before posting. If there is zero information out there to support the “OMG” angle, I don’t do it. And the more time that goes by (especially these days), the more likely it’s a big nothing burger.
I remember 9/11. I was on FR and it was EVERYWHERE at the same time.That one was big and I referred all my friends to the minute by minute coverage here at FR. I was following this thread very closely and avoided any “snarky” posts until I’d vetted this story pretty thoroughly (for the time alloted) and realized there was nothing there, except for the speculation I was seeing in a lot of posts.
When it’s real, it just has a natural progression. When it’s nothing, it’s like trying to prime a pump that won’t prime. You get a trickle and nothing more.
This never got past a trickle - and I went into “let’s have some fun with this” mode.
Problem is, for a lot of people, they were just seeing the thread, going to the end, and seeing some guy saying there was a Russian nuclear sub on fire in Lake Superior. That should not be. I was wrong.
Wonder:
Is this real?
What exactly is FEST team why they would be there
How often this happens?
from link:
FEST (United States Foreign Emergency Support Team)
The United States Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) is a rapid-response unit designed to respond to terrorist attacks against U.S. interests overseas. Created in 1985, it is directed by the Department of State, but constitutes an interagency force. Its most famous deployment occurred in 1998, when operatives of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
No one is in charge of the Whitehouse if the President gets incapacitated. If you heard Hague....he assumed himself to be next in line and in control of the country.
He was coming back tonight anyway. That kind of thing could wait until tomorrow.
The question is what is important enough to call the VP back;mid air?
What cannot wait?
Why would a FEST be dispatched?
Whatever it is, I don’t think it is something domestic.
I didn’t know this was a thing until today...
The Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) is the U.S. government’s only interagency, on-call, short-notice team poised to respond to terrorist incidents worldwide. The FEST deploys to assist and advise the U.S. Chief of Mission in assessing crises and coordinating U.S. government crisis response activities. The FEST includes representatives from the US Department of State, Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other appropriate agencies, such as the Department of Energy, as circumstances warrant. FEST composition is flexible and tailored to the specific incident and U.S. Embassy needs. The FEST provides specialized crisis response expertise to augment existing U.S. Mission and host government capabilities
Radioactivity in the North Sea is a pretty big deal.
First was noted as return for an emergency, but then seemed to talk back the emergency part...But he did return on AF2...Was supposed to be at an opiod conference
Haig was the incident commander at the WH. The IC is relieved when the higher ranking person arrives as the site.
This is basic stuff.
I watched all this live....You’re creating scenarios that didn’t exist.
” . . . such as the Department of Energy”
This sounds like a suped-up version of the NEST: Nuclear Emergency Support Team.
Burying the lede a little.
Rush just mentioned — and I’ve been thinking all along — that maybe Iran is up to something ... all speculation, of course.
~~~
That’s what I said after Iran shot down the drone and Trump avoided taking the provocation, that another provocation would be coming. The sanctions are hurting bad and they NEED to make something happen.
Nope, but thank you!
That is a perfect example of the original "fake news". The left would float a fake story that was very negative to themselves. Sites from the right would get all excited and run with it. Then when the facts came out the left would use them to discredit the the sites that ran with the original fake story. It was a planned method of attack.
The Plot thickens...
I'm on my phone at work so I can't give a link at the moment.
BNL news saying a senior Admin official is saying it has nothing to do with Putin or the sub.
