I was actually being serious. I just don't see why anyone would go there. I believe they said 9 or 11 Canadians were killed in the crash


And now the Pentagon is saying Iran took down the aircraft by a Russian made SAM.
we have these people known as Iran-Canadians who immigrated to Canada from Iran and they wanna go back home to see family.. thats why I lol'd.. you asked 2 options and the most obvious "theyre from there so they wanted to go back during the holidays" wasnt there.
I'm a dumbass, never thought about them being from there. Obviously celebrating Christmas with their family

Federal prosecutors say that video taken from outside of Jeffrey Epstein's cell the night of his FIRST suicide attempt in July has been permanently deleted because MCC saved video from the wrong tier of the jail and not the tier Epstein was on, a filing says.


Never saw this coming!!!

That blows! At first I heard it was only around a dozen Canadians. Now I thought I overheard the news say it was somewhere near 50.

The fog of war is brutal!

when i think about stuff like this i don't even think about how ridiculous all of this is now, i think about how lucky we are that information flows so freely now (to an extent) and how insane it must have been the past 200+ years pre internet. the ability to suppress info and create whatever narrative people wanted to had to be so insane for people in power

The tin foil hat theory is that Iran expected retaliation and was going to blame the US. The tin foil armor theory is that John Kerry set it up through backchannels. Choose your level of 4chan type fuckery.

I remember discussion of pedo rings and cults about 3-4 years ago. Interesting to see how some things played out.

Confident/cocky/arrogant...whatever you want to call it, it all applies.

But he ain't as confident as Joe Burrow!!!

Anyone else tired of hearing about impeachment?

Honest question for the left leaning crowd here:

How can the democrats try to take the moral high ground here and say that the senate trial will be a sham show?

My take from the right leaning crowd:

If the democrats wanted witnesses they should have called them. If the President invoked Executive Privilege then the legislative branch should have gone to the judicial branch for them to weigh in. That's how our government works. But the democrats knew how the judicial branch would rule as they have already ruled on this before so precedence has been set in regards to Executive Privilege. It's not the senates responsibility to to present the facts, that was congresses job and they failed to do so and now they want the senate to call witnesses that they failed to do. Their main objective was to impeach at all costs before Christmas. They wanted this stigma on him for the next election.

I see this going one of 2 ways. They hear from the house managers and then they vote on each article, and this goes away. Or, they call witnesses. They will call Bolton, Schiff (or staffers) and Biden (and/or son). The President will invoke EP on Bolton. The democrats will cry foul. Schiff (or staffers) and Biden (and/or son) will have to raise their right hand and testify. This will put them in a position to clear themselves or purger themselves. Once this happens they will vote before they give testimony and then it goes away.

So it begins today. Anyone else have a feeling something big is going to come up, either during or shortly after the trial, to get our minds off the impeachment?

Iran proxy forces attacks and actually succeeds in hurting a lot of Americans in Iraq and Syria.

All the Republicans actually shift in the Senate and Trump is removed. This would cause a lot of problems, not that it will happen but just pondering bad things.

Troop pull out of Afghanistan, complete withdrawal.

Mass shooting, like Las Vegas.

The Volcano in the Philippines actually goes off causing a massive tsunami like in Dec 2004.
