There's one thing you mention here that makes me think Axl could have been open for a limited, one time type of deal reunion, and that is getting the rights to the back catalogue. If this was offered to Axl back then or at any time, I'm sure he would be either tempted or willing.

But if that was his criteria there was never any chance of that happening anyway.

What is odd about the whole thing is the nature of Slash's visit to Axl's house. Why did he throw his current band under the bus? Why would he feel the need to do that? I think there is only one answer to that question and that is for Slash to rejoin the band, with or without the other members.

Getting the lawsuits settled is obviously something you want, but I don't see Slash putting himself on the spot and groveling to Axl's housekeeper just for that.

Slash thinking he might as well be with Axl when Weiland is just as bad, that makes a lot of sense to me.

Slash going to Axl's house was October 2005. By the nature of that conversation there was no reunion on at that point. If Weiland and Co are talking about a reunion months before that it's because they know Slash is aiming for one. It can't be much else. If Duff was part of those conversations Slash threw him under the bus when he talked to Beta.

One thing we know for certain is that Slash did something to piss off Axl. And it was right after that early 2006 interview where Axl said he still had love for Slash. Shortly after that the Axl camp revealed what had happened in October 2005 to try and use it against Slash. Apparently in 2009 Axl was still calling Slash a cancer best avoided. He went from "still love the guy" to that.

Now whatever Slash did, it doesn't seem probable that Axl had given any hint of reunion, because why would he mess that up?

If there were rumours in the industry about an impending reunion and people start to expect it, giving him offers, and Axl is really trying to relaunch his new band, you can imagine why he is royally pissed at Slash for starting those rumors. Then the best of album falls apart because there is no way for them to agree on anything anymore.

That seems more plausible than Axl, Slash and Duff agreeing on a reunion which somehow deteriorates into Slash throwing Duff under the bus and then manage to piss off Axl to the extent he publicly calls him a cancer 3 years later. He would have to fuck his girlfriend or something for that to happen, or sue him, something he would obviously not do if any reunion was even remotely possible.

Slash would have been on top form too. Not impressed by his playing these days.

Far as I can see, from a judicial standpoint, when Trump as President took home the documents to an unsecured location he in effect declassified them. Apparently they were headed for the National Archives so it doesn't sound like it could have been all that compromising, but what do I know.

For him to be charged with this smacks of lawlessness. It's like they've decided to treat him like just an ordinary citizen and everybody goes along with it.

Clinton afaik did give classified nuclear secret to China in the 90s. Goes to show it's all about who you know and what you can do for them.

Doesn't matter if it is electric. All modern cars are run by computer chips. My mothers car wouldn't even start when there was a battery malfunction (engine is combustible) because the computer put the car into emergency mode. To fix it you had to go to the specialized Volvo dealership so they could hook it up with the right software.
If there's a computer it can be hacked, especially cars these days that are connected to the cloud.

There was a similar crash last week or something that also did not make sense. The black woman entering an intersection at 150mph (the max speed of her Mercedes). When did you ever hear about somebody doing that on purpose? Not even suicides go out like that. She was also waving her hands out the window, perhaps to try and get somebody's attention? Idk, whole thing was very weird.

With Anne Heche we have footage where she is obviously alive with no apparent burn marks while previously the authorities had said she never regained consciousness after the crash. Suspicious stuff and makes you think something else could be involved, like for example rigging her car to kill her, only it failed.

But again, why kill Anne Heche. I hear people saying she had dirt on someone or she was going to expose something. Eh, so what? They can just call her crazy and everybody will look the other way.

Ambulance footage is wack though. No reasonable explanation for that.
