The opening to Morning Joe today was a thing of twisted, demented beauty.

First snippet: Bolton refuses to watch Khashoggi video offering the excuse that he doesn't speak Arabic. A reporter reminds him that he has translators, and then he offers up more evasive gibberish.

Second snippet: Brennan, NSA under Obama, addressing an audience speaking Arabic.

What would watching it with translators accomplish? Why can't he just read a report from the translators?

Because an expert on national security might glean nuance, might recognize faces, etc.

Preemptively, it's highly unlikely I will answer any follow-up questions you may have.

It seems so obvious but anyway. A recording brings the text to life by adding tone, the nuance of pauses, and ambient sound.

Imagine the recording was on YouTube with simultaneous translated text on the screen as you hear the voices. The CIA could put that together to paint a picture for these bums. The Turks should release one and corner them.

Sanders is literally true in the sense that an output of a model is not a fact in the same category as the war of 1812 started in 1812. But I don't have a pithy explanation of why models are very important.

Bull ****. This is just a typical attempt by this administration to muddy the waters with uncertainty. The report is an offering of expert opinion by professionals paid to deliver knowledge on which to decide national policy. A bunch of lying half wits who probably think the world is less than ten thousand years old do not get to dismiss it out of hand or worse try to gaslight the public.

Will CNN ever ask Border Patrol agents how they felt having large rocks chucked at them by criminal illegals?

Illegals can get up to $3,874 a month under Federal Assistance program. Our social security checks are on average $1200 a month.

RT if you agree: If you weren't born in the United States, you should receive $0 assistance.

If GM doesn't want to keep their jobs in the United States, they should pay back the $11.2 billion bailout that was funded by the American taxpayer.
 
Trump retweets a meme of Obama, both Clintons and various Democrats behind bars with the caption

"Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie when do the trials for treason begin?

Ah, yes. Discerning tone and meaning from people's nonverbal cues is just like homeopathy.

You're doing this whole skepticism thing wrong.

I reject claims that people are able to accurately discern cross cultural non verbal cues until evidence is presented. What is the scientific basis for judgement based on non verbal cues, particularly in inferring whether someone not present gave a directive.

That's the problem with trying to out-Bob Bob. He can't tell the difference between an actual question and mockery.

As if potentially recognizing the face of a person you may have met before is Trump-like gut dependency. Poor showing, even for you.

The reason that the small truck business in the U.S. is such a go to favorite is that, for many years, Tariffs of 25% have been put on small trucks coming into our country. It is called the “chicken tax.” If we did that with cars coming in, many more cars would be built here.....

.....and G.M. would not be closing their plants in Ohio, Michigan & Maryland. Get smart Congress. Also, the countries that send us cars have taken advantage of the U.S. for decades. The President has great power on this issue - Because of the G.M. event, it is being studied now!

Try this:

(smiling) "Hey, X is dead!"


What can you infer from the visual cue?

Come back to us with your findings on basic ******* human behaviour.

He isn't an expert in Saudi arabian agents. How is he going to know more about the people there than experts who invested the research and time into answering that question?

This highly asinine comment makes me realize something.

Trump, and any other magic orb participants, definitely should watch the video. They might recognize some of the actors.
