    @George-K said in Chinese Submarine Accident: @taiwan_girl said in Chinese Submarine Accident: And I am sure that the story never was even in the news. So, no need to spin it. Does news like this make its way to the general population of China? Do people ever wonder what happened to their neighbor's son who is in the military, and never returned? Their internet censoring is called it the "Great Firewall" and it is amazingly good. So, if someone searched for "submarine" + "accident", the results would come back with nothing, or at least nothing that related to a Chinese submarine accident. I am sure that in the example you gave, yes, someone in a small town or city may wonder what is going on, but for the other 99.9999999% of the population, they will remain ignorant.

    The company is asking for the $350,000 it paid Meadows as an advance for the book, $600,000 in out-of-pocket damages, and at least $1 million each for reputational damage suffered by the company and loss of expected profits for the book, which they argue plummeted given Meadows’s involvement in numerous investigations regarding Jan. 6. TG, you missed the opportunity to start the Mark Meadows edition of the Go Magat, Go Broke series.

    This was one of the things I hated when I was a journalism major 45 years ago. Everybody wanted to be Woodward and Bernstein, and the responsibility to inform was being lost. We see the end result of that now, and it became worse than i could imagine.

    Sad. In those pictures he seems to have gotten breasts for real. I wonder how that worked in his IRL clothes.

    You really haven’t been paying attention if you see this as anything but business as usual.

    @Axtremus said in High School Basketball "Superstar" - Sad Story: "No direct evidence." I will wait for more investigation to turn up more evidence. Also curious to see if the 2nd Amendment folks will start yelling "stand your ground" or "casa doctrine." Not enough details to make that claim. If they were driving away when he shot up the car, then the Stand Your Ground laws wouldn’t hold water. Besides, do they have STG and Castle Doctrine in LA? I bet no.
