Remember the millions of times I told you all countries spy on each other?

And all the shit you all used to give me for daring to say it?

Well here it is direct from the horse's mouth -- Your nonverbal apologies are accepted:

MEANWHILE, in Australia:

An Australian Rapper Called 2Pec Swam Into the Ocean to Dodge a £362 Seafood Bill

Australia continues to be the most ludicrous place on planet Earth this week, with a story surfacing about a man on Queensland's Gold Coast eating £362 [AUD $600] worth of seafood, and running out on the bill – literally swimming into the ocean.

33-year-old Terry Peck – whose stage name is, incredibly, 2Pec – allegedly ordered two lobsters, 17 vodka oyster shots, a baby octopus, and a few Coronas at Main Beach's Omeros Bros restaurant yesterday. After impressively consuming the lot, Peck then did a runner after finding out the sum of the bill.

Peck swam out to sea from shore, and when police couldn't convince him to come in, they boarded a lifeguard's jet ski to retrieve and arrest him. 2Pec has been charged with stealing and two counts of serious assault of a police officer, but more importantly has been told to "never return" to the restaurant. To which he remarked that he didn't plan on it, as the lobster was "overcooked."

Question submitted by Blue_Tires

So now I'm one more hide away from suspension... What exactly am I supposed to do when anything I say that's even close to the borderline gets hidden while others get a pass? There's a campaign here and I'm being singled out by the very elements we're supposedly fighting against...

Being here 14 years hasn't earned me any credit or the benefit of the doubt?

Islamic State says U.S. 'being run by an idiot'

Islamic State said on Tuesday the United States was drowning and "being run by an idiot".

In the first official remarks by the group referring to President Donald Trump since he assumed office, spokesman Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer said: "You (the U.S.) are bankrupt and the signs of your demise are evident to every eye."

"...There is no more evidence than (that) you being run by an idiot who does not know what Syria or Iraq or Islam is," he said in a recording released on Tuesday on messaging network Telegram.

***ANYBODY ELSE*** would have long since been fired...

Bill O’Reilly Thrives at Fox News, Even as Harassment Settlements Add Up

For nearly two decades, Bill O’Reilly has been Fox News’s top asset, building the No. 1 program in cable news for a network that has pulled in billions of dollars in revenues for its parent company, 21st Century Fox.

Behind the scenes, the company has repeatedly stood by Mr. O’Reilly as he faced a series of allegations of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior.

An investigation by The New York Times has found a total of five women who have received payouts from either Mr. O’Reilly or the company in exchange for agreeing to not pursue litigation or speak about their accusations against him. The agreements totaled about $13 million.

Two settlements came after the network’s former chairman, Roger Ailes, was dismissed last summer in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal, when the company said it did not tolerate behavior that “disrespects women or contributes to an uncomfortable work environment.”

Since I'm abstaining from posting twitter links

I'll just give you a brief description for your Daily Greenwald...

Long story short, Russians are the true persecuted people in this scandal so he's going full "Russian Lives Matter"

I'll just say that until the American left has an honest-to-God housecleaning, saboteurs, traitors and useful idiots will continue to hold us back
