I actually don’t want this guy to die. If he kicks off now he’ll be made a martyr, and the failures in his country will — in the future — be ascribed to him being unable to complete “the revolution”. I want none of that. I want his ass and his socialist ideology taking the [...]

It’s a magical, transforming statement, it is.  ”My point was one of sarcasm,” Perdue told reporters in Thomasville. “We really just need to encourage [...]

He almost got away with it, too, if it weren’t for those pesky federal agents posing as fellow jihadists. Actually, the plan was pretty ingenious. The remote-controlled planes wouldn’t have shown up on radar. In fact, they probably would have been largely undetectable — until the explosion, of course. It’s a good thing we got [...]

According to Dan, the speech does little to tamper speculation about a presidential campaign:  Hoo boy: Reading Christie’s [embargoed] speech, sure does sound like domestic guy intro-ing a FoPo vision, and going straight after POTUS.
