I don't really remember the early 2000s, I was too young, but I imagine this is what it was like.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

I scanned the entire article and maybe I missed it but I couldn't find a single mention of how the intelligence was gathered and who actually gathered it. It's all crap like this...
