Seems to be some sort of portrait.

QuoteMr. Kash Patel, Chief of Staff Secretary of Defense, poses for his official portrait in the Army portrait studio at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, Nov. 17, 2020. He is standing in front of the Flag of the United States on the left and the Flag of the U.S. Senior Executive Service on the right. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Keisha Brown)

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Seeing how Mueller started in 2001 .... he officially assumed office 4th September 2001 - talk about timing. :XD:

You know, I live 10 miles from Fort Knox and have been there, but never to the Gold Depository.  Maybe I should check it out too? :hmm: I think you can take guided tours of it.

The Minsky Moment

Zero chance.

He'll make it clear that as king all your barz belong to him.

In other news, I see Steve Bannion has joined Musk and Basil Fawlty in the sieg heil club. Too much for the cheese-eating surrender monkey Jordan Bardella who has nixxed his chances of becoming the next Petain by pulling out of a speech at CPAC.

Exactly. And we don't need to worry about him walking off with it either.

Are you sure?  He seems to feel that the 1890s were some sort of golden age?  And crucifying mankind on a cross of gold sounds like the sort of gaudy ostentation that Trump would be into. 
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

These days crypto is supposed to save us from fiat currency. Gold is your grandfather's wacky libertarian dream.

After americans surrendering to russkis without a shot being fired, we can give the surrender monkey moniker to them now. Cheeseburger eating surrender monkeys.

Agreed, though you can take heart in the fact that the French will remain the original and best Surrender Monkeys.  No one can take that away from them.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Well, we at least fired at the nazis as they were invading. Y'all just put them in power instead.

Nope, the French bled before surrendering.

Invading France, not Czechoslovakia.  I thought you were Canadian.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If you want to go there, the US sure took its sweet time deciding to enter the conflict.

Nope, the Americans held off the Nazis for four years, the French for six weeks.
