I know I am starting this on Sunday. Figured to make everyone feel better I would add this from this morning: http://instagr.am/p/B68OsEeHsdq Now to the bad stuff of the weekend. Also Iran announced that they are going to start making as many nuclear weapons as they want, thanks asshat for leaving the agreement. And we also lost a service member in Kenya today to a Terrorist group. He also threatened any retaliation would be returned by hitting of 52 targets in Iran. Iran says they are going to hit a military target. I already can see some things happening and I have a theory on how this can go horribly bad not just for us but the rest of the world. Hang in there everyone and stay vigilant.

Did anyone watch the Golden Globes last night? Ricky Gervais was the host and had a good comment on political acceptance speeches. He basically called out how actors speak out on political issues but are willing to work with Apple or Amazon for big bucks. He joked that some of them would work for ISIS's (fictional) streaming service if the price was right.

Pentagon Chief of Staff has resigned: Reading the thread, this may have been previously planned? It still sounds/appears awful, given the timing of everything.

I see both sides but I’d rather people use their platform to speak out than not even if it’s a bit hypocritical.

I saw footage of him going into the courthouse with his walker playing like he's a weak and frail old man who has been hurt by these terrible accusations, and I really think he's a psychopath.

Reminded me of Paul Manafort Oh my gosh YES, I forgot all about him because it's been 82 years, but yes. Such melodrama!

Not sure I blame the Earth for trying after everything we've done to it, but I feel terribly for the people of Puerto Rico. They've had such a rough streak in recent years.

Pompeo is up.
he is offering condolences for a former congressman who passed and to the people of Australia
Moved on to Hong Kong.
Now he is talking about Afghanistan, Iran is working actively to uproot the peace there, they (iran) have relationships with taliban.
Congrats to newly re elected Venezuelan president Guaido, we will continue to support him.

I'm not sure what he's doing here. Because he is skirting around what this should be about.
the theme of basic freedoms.

So pretty much that briefing was pointless.
Is it just me or when he is talking in public he doesn't look at anything specific. He just stares into space like he is blind and spouts Republican talking points and dodges points and makes no sense.
He must be a robot.
