b) How the fuck does that leak? How many people could possibly have been in the loop on that?

I think about this a lot. The amount of reconciliation that needs to happen between Western cultural and the Middle East is just so staggering. Even if we eliminate ISIS right now it doesn't mean Arabs living abroad won't be under constant scrutiny, won't be the target of hate and fear. That's going to go on for generations. It's just fucking heart breaking, it feels endless. I don't believe we'll see peace in our lifetimes.

Crazy, but the people calling the shots in the campaign appear to be Ivanka and the two oldest sons. Not hard to see that creating a situation where high level aides are there to collect a check.

Other than his children, no one is ever going to live up to Trump's expectations, especially given his horrible options. Not surprising he has buyer's remorse.

But the kids & Kushner were reportedly pro-Newt, while the staff was pushing Pence. Would imagine these are coming from people upset by the Pence pick, ie the family.

Let's face it: If Trump could have picked himself or one of the kids he would have.

Damn, didn't know that. Only read that Ivanka and Kushner were pushing Christie out for obvious reasons.

Looks like something insane is happening in Turkey. Possibly a coup?

Went to Turkey on a training excercise back in the day. It was shortly after a military coup. Worked out well for us. Not sure about the rest of it.

The dude that lives in PA leads that. It's why Enes Kanter isn't on the Turkish national team.
