Canada doesn't send us their best people.

They don't send us people like Smitty.

They send their cucks, their Justin Biebers, liberal panty waists. And some, I suppose, good people.

What you're done shit posting at /r/The_Donald? Cuck.

[boethius]

I enjoyed The Donald, but never made an account at Reddit...too much cuckery there.

The Man/cuck ratio at DCF and Martin Hash is much better than reddit.

It's better now. We scared most of the lefties off. All that's left are a few that are reasonably cool and Penner who is now a card carrying democrat hack. Shame though... Dan robbed us of all the gloating we should be doing to the likes of Archie and Co. that laughed in our face all year.

To be fair, you mostly send us draft dodgers...

... on the other hand, you did send us Auston Matthews, ooh-rah!

Obviously, Trump isn't going to be suing Buzzfeed, or anybody else, for libel anytime soon.

But, if you're interested in a short discussion of libel actions and fake news, Volokh lays it out for you:

When ‘there is serious reason to doubt’ rumors and allegations, is it libelous to publish them?

When a publisher knows “there is serious reason to doubt” certain allegations (which BuzzFeed’s top editor expressly said), is it libelous for the publisher to pass along those allegations (assuming they ultimately prove to be factually false)? Or is the publisher free to publish them on the theory that it is accurately reporting what has been alleged, even if the allegations are not accurate?

They are hot and heavy on Flynn.

Let's add some "context" to the "narrative" that Flynn is compromised by Russia.

Who is general Flynn? Where is he from? What has he done in and out of the military? Why would a man who was once destined for 4 stars now presented as an agent of Russia?

What would it mean if a former Director of the DIA did indeed enter in to a compact with Putin saying that if Russia helped get Trump elected the sanctions would be lifted and relations normalized? Are our clandestine services just operating in the ether and doing whatever the fuck they want? Are they pulling all the strings and what we see daily is a Shit show? Are you John Wayne??

I started my Flynn research looking for articles announcing his promotions so I could see what the military was saying about the guy while he was still on our side and...all I can say is this guys is definitely a Red.


FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (Sept. 8, 2010) -- The town of Middletown, R.I., boasts two general officers in the Army from one family, and their mother Helen, who calls them Mike and Charlie, says, "Pity the enemy."

Brig. Gen. Charles A. Flynn was promoted Sept. 6 at Zais Park by the outgoing commanding general of the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen Jr., and Flynn's brother, Maj. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, special assistant to the deputy chief of staff G-2 of the Army.

Caslen said Flynn showed great promise as a general officer.

"It's the right decision for our Army to make you a general officer, and I'm so glad I get to see it come to be," Caslen said.

The Flynn brothers are two of Charles and Helen Flynn's nine children. Upon receiving his promotion to general officer, Charles Flynn said his late father was one of the three great men in his life who influenced how he made decisions and led others. The other two great men Flynn mentioned were retired Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal and retired Lt. Gen. John R. Vines. Flynn served under both during his 26 years of service before becoming a general officer himself.

Flynn has been selected as interim commander of the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth. He previously served as the director of the Mission Command Center of Excellence at Fort Leavenworth as it was stood up as an organization. MC CoE is focusing on improving the command climate and training commanders so that their knowledge goes beyond the old command and control terminology.

Before his assignments to Fort Leavenworth, Flynn was executive officer to the commander, International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces Afghanistan. He commanded the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq in 2007-08, and commanded the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division for two years in Afghanistan and Iraq, in 2002-03 in Operation Enduring Freedom and 2003-04 for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Flynn also served in Operation Desert Storm in 1990-91.

Flynn said most of his gratitude was due his family, especially his wife, Kathleen and children, Molly, Sean and Tara.

"They've borne a decade of war, and through that they've endured the loss of a husband and dad for a time period exceeding the Second World War," Flynn said.

His family helped other military families cope with their own losses, their own fallen Soldiers, and still had to continue with their own daily lives.

"The grind goes on, year after year," he said.

Flynn paused for a moment in grief, remembering those fallen Soldiers, the families of the fallen, and those Soldiers and families who continue their lives in the Army in spite of those fears.

"All the Soldiers and leaders who, at this moment, they are in battle," he said, "and they continue to make sacrifices on behalf of this nation each and every day."

Had to be his time at GSU that made him a Commie. Just anoth serious fucking failure under Obama. Leave it to Barry to appoint a Czar loving turncoat as the Director of the DIA





The Pentagon’s top spy agency, like the rest of the intelligence community, was roundly criticized for key intelligence failures in the run-up to the war in Iraq, including finding that Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and had close relations with al-Qaeda. It will soon be led by one of those critics, who recently published a trenchant critique of American intelligence in Afghanistan. Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn, an intelligence insider over his thirty-year career in Army intelligence, was nominated by President Barack Obama to be the next Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Primarily responsible for providing data on foreign militaries, DIA is part of the Department of Defense.


Born circa 1959 in Middletown, Rhode Island, Michael Flynn is one of nine children of Helen and Charles Flynn, who was a small-town banker. Growing up, Michael Flynn worked at local restaurants and as a lifeguard, graduating Middletown High School in 1977. Flynn earned a B.S. in Management at the University of Rhode Island, where he participated in the ROTC program, in 1981. Flynn has since earned an MBA in Telecommunications from Golden Gate University, an M.A. in Military Arts and Sciences from the United States Army Command and General Staff College, and an M.A. in National Security and Strategic Studies from the United States Naval War College.
