Free Republic

Ummm...perp drew his finger in the dirt on the door.

As written, “play stupid games”

Well, DNA will tell the tale. The larger problem is that now hostage taking has been mainstreamed in this century.

I - among others - made the statement 10/8 and it should have been adopted: The hostages were dead the moment they were taken and should never have been dealt with otherwise.

Play stupid games...stalemate once again, just like ‘they’ want.

Ironically, if we shipped out all the illegals here, they’d probably rebuild & care for ukeland better than the ukes.

Free plane tickets and free land there, I say (post-war, of course). THAT’s the price to ukes for rebuilding assistance.

Yup. Cynicus, I am (or realist, if you prefer).

I hearken back to my prior comments about the Russians keeping their word (but with the next dem admin).

They are negotiating dead bodies because bibi signed on to this tactic and DJT’s threat has thus far proven empty.

*sigh*

Yes, but now the damage is done, absent planning about which we know nothing until it happens.

The worst possible outcome here is that the bait is taken, a few bodies released, and nothing happens...again.

I hold hope that an op is in the works, but my other hand is filling up fast.

I disagree. ‘They’ will go dormant and wait it out.

Absent replacing every single GSxx manager/administrator & above plus all congresscritters, the damage will be minimal.

So, then…

What about that line in the sand?

Now they’re emboldened. A needless black eye. I had more expectations.

Interesting. Caught the following just now:

NASA aborts mission to save stranded astronauts

Exactly, but ‘flight testing’ (unmanned, of course).

Alright. It seems the early report by CBS (below) that I saw was egregiously in error.

The plane was diverted due to engine vibration, not fire, landed without incident and taxied before smoke then fire.

Gotta love these asshat ‘journalists’...

No, it doesn’t. See #36.

Proximate cause: Failure of the pilot to evacuate on the runway at wheel-stop.

I can't wait to find out why he/she was prompted to roll to the gate while under confirmed fire emergency.

You just don’t get it.

Um, no.

This was just cliche’ (hand caught in the cookie jar).

The magnitude of the scam is beyond the comprehension of most people.

I remain dubious that even if Vance runs/wins in ‘28 that it will be possible to begin to manage the problem: There’s simply too much influence ($$) and coercion (Awan Bros & Epstein were but hints) to break this.

But try we must.

“These are real teachers, real students, and real families being affected by decisions that will reshape the future of education in America.”

There is an axiom in bad behavior psychology (which also translates to poor institutional performance):

You must admit the problem in order to fix it. Take responsibility.

These asshats tick all the marks for intransigence and ‘more of the same’ with their DOUBLE failure - failing their jobs and then failing to acknowledge said failure - which translates now to forcible change.

Kudos, DJT.

Other more pressing matters already addressed, of course.

What a terrible disappointment (yet expected).
