That's not Sinestro. It's Larfleez, he's the orange lantern. Orange being the color associated with Avarice

You're right. >_<
In my defense I had to be at work two hours earlier than normal today because they're gonna cut the power here to replace some poles.

We don't get our internet through the power company, or even the cable company.
But rest assured, I'm certain our owner is doing everything in his power as we speak to deep fry the goose that lays golden eggs and ruin our no-cost-to-us and redundant-in-case-of-failure internet setup.

Hah, well, our internet comes via fiber to our broadcast tower. If they cut THAT, we're in more trouble than just internet.

I can't wait to hear the statements from President Bannon and Vice President Putin.

Ok, so I've been following this Flynn thing a bit. Over the last few days the closest aides to Trump (miller and that British sounding dude) have been getting asked about Flynn and both have given somewhat cryptic responses refusing to say either way.
Then today none other than Kellyanne goes on air and says that Flynn has Trumps "Full Confidence", mere hours before he resigns.
She either got outmanuevered and made to look like an asshole by saying something unreliable again, or messaging within the whitehouse is completely fucked.
Probably both.

Eh, "full confidence" is frequently politician for "blood in the water". I know in NY and NJ politics, it frequently means that someone's going to jump on the grenade and resign.

I dunno. That was not good language for her to use.
And now Patreus is being considered. Just....I mean you can't invent this level of incompetence. No one would believe this if it was in a movie.
Also, in other news, apparently Trump received a classified briefing on the North Korean missile launch in an open restaurant at his resort with lots of random non-cleared civilians.

Yup, in the dining room at Mar-a-lago. Some dude literally took a selfie with the guy holding the nuclear football and put it on Facebook.
I don't think Patreus is a terrible choice. Not the best but you could do worse. Trump's made that evident.

Politically he is a horrendous choice because he was actually convicted of the very crime Clinton is suspected of.
I don't think he would actually be bad at the job, but when it comes to a position like that there isn't a 2 strikes rule on major violations of secrecy rules.

I mean, he did give classified intel to his mistress, and she published it, so...
Which is, because we live in crazy land now, still not the worst considering we have a president who can't be given intel reports because our own intelligence officials believe the White House has been compromised by Russia.
