Well here's hoping that they don't need to get a new balloon, or else the jerk is going to end up paying way more in restitution.

That balloon cost upwards of $6,000 to design and custom make, if not more.

Best people etc.

Though my favorite part is this:
In a 2017 video posted on her nonprofit's website, Chang can be heard describing her work while a Time magazine cover with her face on it scrolls past.

"Here you are on Time magazine, congratulations! Tell me about this cover and how it came to be?" asks the interviewer, who hosts a YouTube show.

"Well, we started using drone technology in disaster response and so that was when the whole talk of how is technology being used to save lives in disaster response scenarios, I suppose I brought some attention to that," Chang said.

The interviewer says Chang brought the Time cover to the interview as an example of her work.

Time magazine spokesperson Kristin Matzen said the cover is "not authentic."

No wonder she got hired, that's a classic Trump move.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

If he was the one carrying the Trump Baby to term instead of someone else you would have an actual point as opposed to a flat shitpost.

Supposedly the whistleblower. Because endangering a potential whistleblower is OK if you're Republican.


And naming Julian Assange, Edward Snowden (among others) was somehow okay. You can't have it both ways. Both parties try and shield the evidence of their corruption, and in this case it is no different. The Democrats are doing everything to shield themselves and this is no different.

You don't even know if that's the fucking guy.

Trump supporters have been wrong about this before... And many times before that.

Also, who the fuck said Edward Snowden should have been PROSECUTED for it, let alone named?

Every big talking head on CNN the day that business broke tbh. The Obama administration had a giant fit and pulled out all the stops to discredit him. Only to have Mr. Obama say by the end of it "we need to have a conversation". Pathetic really.

How is "arrest them and bring them to trial" better than being open and public with information? I am fully aware I don't know who the whistleblower is, but it is massively hypocritical for our representatives to refuse transparency like this. We deserve to know what is going on! Anything less is corruption.

No, they just got allies to almost break all diplomatic norms by storming a consulate and tore off their good masks in a fit rage. It was really top tier to witness. Thank Goodness Obama went after so many whistleblowers and journalists. That's not worrisome now that Trump runs the show!

I can see The Rich Ports Posts and he can see mine, and I can technically post to this nation. Rich Port, I think we might have diplomatic RP relations with one of my main Miami nations. or we did not officially declare it so. I have to check my main nations to be sure. But I did post to you once for diplomatic relations a long time ago, years ago.

Eric Ciaramella is considered to be the whistleblower by Republicans and Real Clear Investigations. Granted by right wing organizations. But I would not expect leftists organizations to out the real whistleblower who ever the real whistleblower is:

https://www.realclearinvestigations.com ... 20996.html

I might post more posts on this issue in the near future.

For the Record just in case: Eric Ciaramella is not one of my over 153 Plus nations I use to RP with, not evade any foe list, ignore list or puppet wank anything. I would be more, dumb, stupid and foolish than I am, if I were to do this under the circumstances and under any circumstances.

Mr. Snowden exposed a security apparatus that the Stasi would have been jealous of and which both parties support (granted one of them claimed to dismantle it at the time). Nothing would have saved him and no party would have gone to the mat for him. As for Mr. Assange, telling the truth and doing real reporting is something the Obama administration liked to come down hard on. If your line on these people is raw legalism, then it is a mealy mouthed and cowardly position.

Indeed, especially since they spread classified information, which is illegal. In the case of Snowden, he could have easily blown the whistle that the Government was spying on its own people. He did, however, then proceeded to hand over classified information to our enemies, including Russia. In no shape or form should either these two individuals get it.
