Whereupon We Pontificate About Poor Media Outlet Choices

I just found out that Pete’s dad was a Marxist scholar who translated three volumes of Gramsci. Boy must he have been disappointed.

So he could tell us he was torturing people but not exactly who, when or why? Again not saying this happened but your analogy is fatally flawed.

Did Pete ever say what he was working on with McKinsey in Iraq and Afghanistan?

CLASSSIFIED!

Wasn’t there a politician that adopted some adult male? But they were banging?

lol

Obviously it was something for the fucken military or intelligence.

No, it isn’t. You want it to be because you want to attribute nefarious things to a guy you hate for other reasons.

By all means, feel free to attribute nefarious things to my work on the U2. then the analogy might work better for you. Jal already does, it’s not a big step.

It is funny, though.

I didn’t realise that liking U2 was yet another of your musical faults.

I will fully admit I don’t have a clue what Pete did in Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe you should too. We do know lots of Americans were over there torturing and killing the fuck out of people though. Was that Pete who worked for the CIA over there? Who knows!

Can someone explain why bullshitty management consultants get sent to war zones?

Probably the same reason Snowden worked for Booz Allen Hamilton. Why did Snowden work for them rather than directly for NSA or CIA? Not sure but he did. The big management consulting firms all have lots of government, military, and intelligence contracts. No the US public is not aware of the details.

Also, Oxford Uni - major recruiting ground for the secret services.

It might all be circumstantial evidence but there’s quite a lot of it.

Snowden was a techy though, right? google tells me that BAH specialises in analytics, digital, engineering, and cyber, which makes sense for him.

But a management consultant being thrown into a war zone? He’s not there to do his time and motion studies.

I’m sure there was plenty of fancy spreadsheeting to do in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s all a McKinsey junior guy is good for. I don’t know how CIA recruiting works. I’ll bet Pete does though.

Glad I wasn’t the only one

That Republicans were nicer to the Pete staffer than Bernie supporters probably shouldn’t be too surprising, since they’re much closer to Pete ideologically than Bernie supporters are.

Pete is probably some distance to the right of Eisenhower, so yes that does explain their comfort with his politics.

Ok I’m going to reveal the NJR stan, and if spider permabans me for it, so be it:
