Just like M.T. Cicero warning about the fall of the Roman Republic... if he was a snarky modern U.S. homeland security professional. Views are my own. #homelandsecurity #emergencymanagement #nationalsecurity #publicsafety

Point of order: never, ever refer to this airport by the name of the politician who fired hundreds of air traffic controllers for demanding fair working conditions. DCA or National, thank you.

Agreed, Adam. The pilots were literally standing on the rudder pedals and doing everything humanly possible to keep that aircraft level. Deeply sorry for all who were lost.

Very reliable sources report the federal agencies involved in this 'mission' vary greatly in how they carry themselves. The CPB is the most abhorrent. They are the first to overreact, to become violent, to deploy teargas. All wear facemasks and travel in leased trucks w no plates. Cowards.

So in two weeks, will Cheney's widow be required to show up in leather pants and dry hump JD Vance before going full Tammi Faye? Asking for 330 million friends...

With all due respect, who the $&#@ is still using Spotify? Garbage platform with garbage programming.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now.

100% serious here.

Well, Dick Cheney has now entered hell. Got 5 military draft-dodging deferments as a young man. He then got 3,500 young Americans killed in bullshit Iraq war - and at least 150,000 Iraqis - while guaranteeing we lost Afghanistan. Never has a first name been more accurate. apnews.com/article/dick...

Dick Cheney, one of the most powerful and polarizing vice presidents in US history, dies at 84

The hard-charging conservative became one of the most powerful and polarizing vice presidents and a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq.

I have watched every single game of this World Series and I regret not a moment. It's as if the baseball gods don't want the season to end.

The "certain tactics" referred to in that weak CBS headline include personally throwing large teargas canister at a group of peaceful demonstrators in a residential neighborhood. Somehow video is widely available of him tossing canister but no video of him being "pelted with rocks" as claimed.
