This has to be the first good article I’ve seen on FA since Tyler left. It’s not just fluff or filler, it’s an actual, timely takedown of a news story that’s still making the rounds on the networks as we speak.

Good job, Michael. I hope we see more of this soon.

They’ve dumped their nuke worked and cut their centrifuges as they said they would.. it would appear they kept their word and perhaps the trust we placed in them was well founded...

I agree this is bullshit politics and not in the best interest of the USA (the people paying for it), but Iran is cut off from the global banking system as part of the sanctions they have been negotiating to lift.

I have a feeling the Iranians don’t want to receive anything electronically from the Americans after Stuxnet.

“We paid $400M up front in cash for a hostage ransom. That’s why people are shitting on Obama.”

“Because apparently electronic wire transfers aren’t good enough anymore, or something, and we want our diplomatic payments to be made in as untraceable manner as possible.”

Have you ever read anything on Foxtrot Alpha before? lol

*comes back to life*

It was a multifaceted deal. No nukes; release US and Iranians prisoners; return money.. what is the big fucking deal?

I’d like to read that explanation, but it is longer than 140 characters, and seems to contain a substance called “nuance” that I hear is important in international diplomacy, but which just confuses me.

I would wager that MOST of the people complaining about TPP have no idea what it is.

So...I mean...I guess I sort of get why she’d rather Trump be President than Clinton? Plus the other day Trump just outright said voting for her helped him, so there’s that. Stein 2016! Make America Dumb Again!

I think she’s a total quack. When I started reading about her after the Bernie or Bust crowd started fawning all over her, I saw her use the phrase “Big Pharma,” saw her wishy washy stance on vaccines, and found out that she’s all about homeopathy and went NOPE. Fuck no. You’re supposed to be an actual doctor and you…

She certainly seems to have every side of the fence covered.

This passage highlights exactly why institutions of higher learning shouldn’t be in the business of adjudicating rape: “Every rape victim wants what campus activists are asking for: a fair investigation, counseling to help with their trauma, a home where they feel safe, people who listen.” They can and should have all…

Marines are idiots, which is the primary explanation here.

I had a nice glass of wine and cried some happy tears during that speech. It’s a nice night!

I enjoyed her speech and thought the delivery was great. I’m beyond fucking excited to see her smash Drumpf into the ground. Boy, bye.

It sounds like she was in contempt of court, though. I know that usually is applied to disruptive defendants and witnesses, but is there any reason it couldn’t be applied to an attorney, if she continually interrupted the judge?
