We need to halt all stadium atmospherics until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Every stadium in America now sounds EXACTLY the same - Zombie Nation, 7 Nation Army, Mo Bamba. Crazy Train laugh. Aretha, McCartney, Tell Me Something Good on reviews.
We need a reset.
Aside from the shocking substance of this story, what's amazing is how it was unearthed by Cole. The short version: The Russians were able to penetrate Jared Kushner's iPhone and extract screenshots and data. Then, a Russian intel official was captured by Dutch intelligence (!) and flipped. The Dutch believed Kushner may have been acting on behalf of Russia, so pursued him as an intel target and were able to get into his phone.
They did not find any evidence of Russian collusion, instead they watched him moving hundreds of millions of dollars from slush funds created by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, one of them housed in Israel's central bank.
Incredible reporting, and if Democrats have any sense, they will pull on these threads and learn a lot more about this money.
Explosive story many years in the making, now out in Vanity Fair by Matthew Cole (who will be on Breaking Points next week, and publishing soon in @DropSiteNews):
Saudi Arabia and the UAE set up multi-billion slush funds for Jared Kushner to use.
Iran-Contra 2 here (except with Iran-Contra, at least the US got some hostages released. Not clear what we got out of this one.)

Mike Tomlin shared what he loves best about Cam Heyward: “You know what I love about Cam? People think that it was instant for Cam. Look at Cam’s resume. Cam was a little bro for a long time behind guys like Brett Keisel and Aaron Smith. Man, he paid a price. It was not instant for him. Cam had to fight. He had a veteran group when we drafted him,” he said. “We drafted Cam not necessarily when we needed but just having a vision that we will need him. And it allowed him to grow and learn. Cam is a beautiful example of that. The humility in which he worked as a young guy to allow those guys to teach and train him. For him to work daily for his opportunity and when he got his opportunity, he was certainly ready. Cam is probably the brightest example of that in my professional life. I watched him receive the knowledge, I watched him use the knowledge, I watched him share the knowledge. There’s young guys playing in Pittsburgh now. They don’t know Casey Hampton, they don’t know Aaron Smith, they don’t know Brett Keisel. But they do. Because they’re being raised by Cam Heyward.” #Steelers #NFL

Veilguard did not kill BioWare. Private equity killed BioWare. Money killed BioWare. Corporate greed killed BioWare. Shut the fuck up about wokeness and Veilguard for fuck’s sake. Holy shit
Penn State could go get Zion Elee if Patrick Kraft didn't turn the program into a dumpster fire.

To help against misinformation:
This is the result of the Saudi Arabian buyout deal. The most ridiculous deal ever made where EA could barely cover the cost of the debt it accrued.
A lot of people will attach their personal feelings to the "why" but this is the real reason ^

The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t even care about Jalen Hurts, and you think your job cares about you? Lmao
Nothing like a French cost of living riot to remind you that America has some of the quietest street politics in the Western world

I think what made Disco Elysium so good and "old school" is that its developers drew from literature and their own tabletop stories while most other games were already unable to create something new because all their devs knew was other videogames, which they then remasticated
