"If all this had been reported 3 years ago ( as it should have been ), Trump would still be President, the border would be secure, inflation would be under control, the deficit would be under control, and Russia would have never invaded Ukraine."
Hard to say how things would have worked out; but all those things did happen under Biden not Trump - and all the while Biden's administration gaslighting the country about "white supremacy" while simultaneously he and his family are getting rich from deals with foreign countries including our current biggest political opponent China.

Seems the playbook was to accuse Trump and Conservatives of everything under-the-sun and use the media to propagate all the lies – then when Conservatives would push back the go-to move was to call them “conspiracy theorists” and again use the media to propagate that narrative.
In essence – the playbook was:
a) accuse Trump/Conservatives of false illegal acts
b) all the while it is the Dems committing many of the same acts which they in turn accuse Trump of
c) tar-and-feather as “conspiracy theorists” and “threats to democracy”, w/ the help of the sold-out media, anyone that dared question the narrative
I have a strong-feeling that this Durham thing is only scratching the surface.

"Congrats To The U.S. Intelligence Community, Back-To-Back U.S. Presidential Election Interference Champs!"
Congratulations to the United States Intelligence Community on back-to-back U.S. presidential election interference championships!
In both the 2016 presidential election, featuring then-reality TV star Donald Trump vs. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the 2020 presidential election, featuring President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, certain current and former actors within the federal government broke an unprecedented number of “norms,” ethics, and possibly laws in order to seemingly influence the outcome of both elections.
On Monday, Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report investigating the U.S. federal government’s actions during the 2016 election cycle and its monitoring of the Trump campaign. Of course, the American people — at least conservative Americans — didn’t need the Durham investigation to conclude that the Obama administration, the Department of Justice, and the intelligence community acted untoward — putting it mildly — in 20216, but it’s nice having it in writing.
Durham’s team concluded that “neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion” when it began Operation Crossfire Hurricane – that’s the operation seen by many as the U.S. government spying on the Trump 2016 campaign. The report also said that Crossfire Hurricane investigators, “did not and could not corroborate any of the substantive allegations contained in the Steele reporting.” The now-infamous Steele dossier was initially used to gain legal permission to monitor the Trump team.
The Daily Wire noted Monday, the report “also concluded that the FBI had no evidence to support a Trump-Russia scandal when it began its investigation and found ‘sobering’ differences in how it approached the Trump probe compared to other politically sensitive investigations.”
As summarized by conservative Greg Price, “the plan by Hillary Clinton to create a false story linking Donald Trump to Russia was briefed in August of 2016 by CIA Director John Brennan to President Obama, VP Biden, AG Loretta Lynch, and FBI Director Comey.”
So, in other words, assuming Durham’s report is accurate, then it was all a hoax perpetrated at some of the highest levels of the U.S. — as Trump has long claimed.
Trump was never a Russian agent. Nor was the infamous and crass “pee tape” real, per the Durham report. The source behind that tawdry tale admitted he made that all up as well. The feds and the Democratic Party at large wanted you to believe that Trump was controlled by Putin with a penchant for Russian prostitutes. It was all so absurd.
That nonsense lasted throughout Trump’s presidency, which rolled right into the 2020 election. Under the pretense of previous Russian election interference to install Trump, 51 intelligence community veterans signed a letter saying the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” story had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Twitter then used that letter as part of its justification to censor The New York Post story about it. The 51 officials haven’t been able to explain why they thought it was Russian disinformation, and now much of the content on that laptop has been verified as being authentic.
Now, it has been alleged that current CIA officials helped put together that letter and that former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell asked fellow intelligence veterans to add their names to the letter suggesting the Hunter Biden laptop story could be part of a Russian disinformation campaign with a stated purpose of giving now-President Joe Biden‘s 2020 campaign a debate “talking point.”
Who played a role in that letter as well? Well, none other than the aforementioned CIA director, John Brennan.
So, it appears that the U.S. intelligence community used its power to smear, spy on, and discredit Trump — and the conservative movement in general — during the two most recent national elections, the supposed cornerstone of American democracy where Americans come together to vote for their new president.
Now the question, is who is going to be charged and when? Of course, it seems that the answer to those questions is, to put it in layman’s terms, that there is not a chance in France that happens.
And until it does, the U.S. intelligence community is the reigning election interference champ.

"‘There’s Nothing To This, But We Have To Run It To The Ground,’ Anti-Trump FBI Agent Strzok Said: Durham"
Days after opening a full FBI investigation into connections between Donald Trump and Russia, lead FBI investigator Peter Strzok told a subordinate that “there’s nothing to this, but we have to run it to the ground,” the subordinate — a top official in the Bureau’s London outpost—told Special Counsel John Durham.
Strzok opened a full investigation — skipping preliminary steps — based on nothing but a brief and “vague” account by an Australian diplomat of a conversation in a London bar, and within hours had traveled to London. But when he explained why he had opened the investigation, neither the FBI employees there nor their British counterparts could believe it, according to a report released by Durham on Monday.
The FBI’s specialists on Russia had heard nothing about ties between Trump and Russia, making them skeptical. Instead of using Russia experts, the FBI then assigned brand-new intelligence analysts to work the most prominent and politically explosive case in the country.
The FBI’s Assistant Legal Attache in London (UK ALAT) told the Special Counsel that British intelligence agents “did not assess the information about the Russians and Trump, attributed to Papadopoulos, to be particularly valuable intelligence. Indeed, he told the FBI’s Inspection Division investigators that ‘the British could not believe the Papadopoulos bar conversation was all there was,’ and they were convinced the FBI must have had more information that it was holding back.”
“Dude, are we telling them everything we know, or is there more to this?” the ALAT wrote to a supervisory special agent.
“That’s all we have. Not holding anything back,” the supervisor replied.
“Damn that’s thin,” the ALAT said.
“I know. It sucks,” the supervisor said.
British agents felt the same way, raising concerns that Papadopolous was a low-level volunteer who seemed “insecure” and trying to impress. The ALAT said that in discussing the matter with a “senior British Intelligence Service-I official, the official was openly skeptical, said the FBI’s plan for an operation made no sense, and asked UK ALAT-1 why the FBI did not just go to Papadopoulos and ask him what they wanted to know.”
The FBI’s specialists on Russia had also heard nothing about ties between Trump and Russia. FBI officials in London assumed there was much more evidence given Strzok’s urgency, but after it quickly became clear that there was not, they had to “grease the skids” for it anyway because of pressure from top leadership, the ALAT said.
“From his vantage point, UK ALAT-1 saw that FBI executive management was pushing the matter so hard that ‘there was no stopping the train,’ and he told the OIG that, ‘I mean it was, this thing was corning. So my job was to grease the skids for it, and that’s what I did,'” the report said.
FBI lawyer and Strzok mistress Lisa Page testified that the FBI used “line level analysts who [were] super experts on Russia,” but the FBI’s Inspection Division found that the intelligence analysts “selected for Crossfire Hurricane were uniformly inexperienced” and that “[n]one of them were subject matter expert analysts.” Aside from Brian Auten, an FBI agent who has been criticized for allegedly working to shut down an investigation into Hunter Biden, “the most experienced analyst had less than nine months of experience working in that capacity, two had less than four months experience, and two came straight from analyst training,” the report said.
At the time, Strzok was Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division. After his hyper-anti Trump text messages with his mistress were exposed, he has since become an open partisan with regular TV appearances. His comment, as recalled by the ALAT, could suggest that Strzok knowingly conducted a baseless operation from Day 1. The Russia probe went on to overshadow much of the Trump presidency, despite Special Counsel Robert Mueller previously concluding that there was no evidence of a conspiracy.

No doubt Trump is flawed as a politician (and even as a person) – IMO Trump’s support (coming out of nowhere in 2016 where hardly anyone gave him a chance; and in 2020 getting more votes than anyone in history “other than Biden”). is more a sign of how a large number of Americans feel about the political establishment vs how highly they think of Trump.

The establishment never thought Trump would get elected – throughout 2016 when it started to become more and more possible that Trump would get the Republican nomination; that is when the establishment started to worry and went into “operation Trump takedown” (fake “Russian Collusion”; illegal FISA warrants; hiding the Clintons’ illegal acts; etc).
After Trump got the Republican nomination; it was still seen as unlikely he would defeat the Clinton and democrat machine – Hillary was seen as the sure-winner all the way till election nigh – the establishment probably felt they had done enough.
The establishment’s worst-fears came thru after the 2016 election – the day after the election the establishment’s only goal was getting Trump out-of-office ASAP by any means necessary and it was one “trumped” up false allegation after the other for all 4 years.
No way was the establishment gonna repat the same mistake of 2016 and have Trump possibly reeleted again – and that is where u have:
+ the hiding of Hunter’s laptop and the Biden’s money schemes
+ the 51 “intel agents” letter
+ and everything else during the 2020-election and since then

The longer one has been clubbing, the more clubs like the ones in Vegas lose their appeal even though at one point they may have seemed like a lot of fun when one was less experienced and had less to compare it to. I know this has happened to me w.r.t. clubs/areas that earlier-on in my SCing-career I thought were great, but visiting years later I realized they were actually just meh if not lame.
But still – per post-Covid-reviews; seems Vegas has gotten even worse in terms of ROI as compared to 3+ ears ago.

“… Trump could not have done a thing to stop Russia. What makes you think otherwise? …”
Hard to say how it would have gone – but I think most politicians/world-leaders saw Trump as a potentially-loose-cannon.
Kinda hard to infer what would’ve eventually happened if Trump was still prez; but Putin snatched Crimea under Obama and invaded Ukraine under Biden – similarly China got much more aggressive towards Taiwan as soon as Trump was out of power.

IMO – if there is anything that can be learned of the last few years; is that we-the-people, to a very-large-degree, have been getting gaslighted on all-sides – i.e. now more than ever one needs to be extra cynical about what we hear either from “the experts”, or the media (documentaries or anything else) – a lot of it is at best half-truths (only giving one side/angle and leaving out context; or straight out lies) – not to sty everything falls under gaslighting; but that one needs to be extra cynical/critical about “the version of things one is fed”

mogul1985I have 3 lives: Work, Dog Shows and Strip Clubs
Like most people, I like nice-cars – but up to this point in my life I’ve avoided “fancy cars” even if I could “afford them” and have focused on value (avoiding overpriced badges; and avoiding cars that are unreliable especially as they age; basically have tried to avoid money-pits w.r.t. cars) – up to now I’ve owned cars from a utilitarian-perspective and cost-of-ownership vs a status-symbol per se – I’ve normally kept cars 7 - 10 years and in some occasions longer to get the most out of the investment – given my M.O., up to now I’ve mainly considered Hondas and Toyotas as IME those can often be owned a long-time w/ not many if any major issues if one maintains and takes care of them properly.
Whether it’s cars or anything else; I don’t mind spending money but mind wasting money and I feel getting fancy cars is often a waste of money (high initial price; often high depreciation; costly maintenance; etc) – but now that I’m a bit-older, and have a bit surer financial situation in terms of savings and retirement-fund, I’m def more open to treating myself to a nice-car; but it would still have to be a good-value in terms of what one gets for the money and in terms of reliability even if I’m spending much-more than I did in the past – even if I can “afford it”, I still can’t see myself getting a car just b/c “it looks cool” or “makes some kinda statement” if that car has a poor history of reliability and cost-to-maintain where it’s a constant financial-drain.

“… The House should go through the report and subpoena every last person at the FBI who is named and drag them in front of a committee …”
When it comes to Trump; everything gets released even if it’s all false (or especially if it’s false) – when it comes to the Dems (Clintons; Bidens; etc); they block-and-hide for them.
I’ve seen snippets of when the FBI is brought b/f Congress – whenever they are asked a tough question about their, and the Dems’, shenanigans, their standard response is “we can’t comment on a pending investigation *or* a possibly pending investigation”; but if it’s Trump, then everything gets out especially if it’s false.
It’s obvious there is a set of rules for Trump and a separate set of rules for the Dems (Clintons; Bidens; etc) – it is obvious the goal was to remove Trump by any means necessary including lies and setups, and have the media complicit in pushing all the lies.
Then you have Hunter Biden and half-a-dozen other Biden-family members taking in millions from foreign countries (China; Ukraine; etc) via shell-companies and barely a beep from the FBI/DOJ/Media – makes one wonder why Biden is so gung-ho in “defending” Ukraine and all the armament and money that has been sent to Ukraine.

Yeah - no right answer to this in-part since PLs' tastes are so varied - an additional variable is that not everyone ages the same way nor takes cares of themselves the same way.
I also wonder if some girls get used to the club-lifestyle and remain in it bc they like ir or gotten used-to that environment.

I’m a lifelong Cowboys fan but also liked watching the Jets of the 80s (Freeman Mcneil; Wesley Walker; etc) – it’s been a long-time since I’ve had a reason to wanna watch Jets’ games but I will this season; I’m intrigued to see how they do w/ Rodgers at-the-helm – I thing Rodgers is an elite-QB but not uncommon to see athletes hit-a-wall and go from great to bad in a short period of time – IDK if Rodgers still has what it takes to be great, I think he does but it remains to be seen.

In this day and age, even if someone isn't an addict; just using drugs recreationally seems can be a dangerous proposition with all this fentanyl-laced stuff.
- Best club in CT
Generic AF review - probably made-up to just get the free VIP.
I often notice an increase of fake-reviews as it gets closer to the weekend - I assume it's PLs wanting to get free VIP to research clubs for the weekend.
- Not Sure What's Happening Here
Who knows why clubs change vibe - sometimes the wrong management can have a bad-effect on a club.
I used to hit a small dive where the girls kinda came and went as they pleased - on certain nights there were less of the regular-girls - one dancer told me that many of the regular-girls didn't like to work when a particular manager was on shift and would avoid coming-in if they could when he was there.
But the reasons can be who knows what - anything from higher dancer-fees to too many-girls/competition; etc.

I don't need specialized 1-on-1 attention from the staff since that is not what I'm there for but it is nice to have a genuine convo every now and then especially since the customer-service (SCs or not) downhere in Miami is the worse I've ever encountered (customer service is not really something Cubans grow up with in communist Cuba thus the supa-shitty customer-service in Miami) - in Miami if a Cuban-employee doesn't tell u to fuck-off then u consider that good customer service.
If I'm gonna spend a few-hours and a few-hundred$ in a club then it having a chill environment/staff is a plus but not a requirement since beggers-can't-be-choosers.

“Detroit” changed a few years ago when the feds took over running of the city (pre-Covid) – subsequently a lot of the high-mileage was removed from within the city limits – only the clubs in the suburbs like Flight Club and Landing Strip and others still have good action.
Best way to get familiarize w/ the Detroit scene is to peruse the daily published reviews and/or read prior reviews – in the strip-club-game it’s better to know the M.O. of a club b/f visiting.
