Heh hurlshot. Personally, it looks a heck of a lot like actions by shady characters and just overall incompetence and bad decisions, but there are just too many unanswered questions to completely rule out intentional collusion vs being naive and playing straight into the hands of the Russians.

The House Intel Commitee Republicans are ending the Russia probe they are doing, say they found no collusion and nb evidence Russia meddled specifically to help Trump. It'd be for the best anyway since it became a major farce what with the partianship. The Senate investigation and Muellers probe are still ongoing. http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/378017-house-gop-ending-russia-probe-says-no-collusion-found https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/12/politics/house-republicans-russia-conclusions/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/12/us/politics/house-intelligence-trump-russia.html

As misrepresentative as that is of Ice Cube, think that's sort of the point of what sharp_one posted.

Sarcasm aside, I thought British police did carry guns?

Cops running away from crowds of muslims? Pfft, that's just lame.... Lisa as in The Simpsons? I don't think I saw that episode.

Romania is bigger, that's for sure, but by land area (well, I used the total which includes rivers, and lakes).... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_area Hungary is 93,028 km 2 Lithuania and Latvia are roughly 2/3 area of Hungary, Moldova is about 1/3 that, so, okay, you got me. Also, I wonder how many would be in Ukraine if you excluded the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea conflict. There's also Finland, though that only shows part of Finland.

You're the one who asked for examples.
-
There are larger countries on that map with fewer dots on them than Hungary. What gives? an example? Belarus Also Moldova, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, and maybe Cyprus. I'll double check Cyprus though. Edit: You'd have to go back a bit further than 45 years to get terror attacks in Cyprus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyprus_crisis_(1955%E2%80%9364)

I also notice that the MidEast is completely blank, there have been terrorist events in Turkey, ditto for Iraq and Syria. I know it's for Europe, but it just seems odd to include the MidEast and not put terrorism events for there, just IMO.

Yeah, we'd probably dominate in American football (the oval kind) if it were a worldwide tournament. Soccer (the round football), not so much.
-
Or rather it also includes violence and war? That'd be Eastern Ukraine and the Balkans. Chilloutman, all you did was throw up a map with dots on them without explaining what the dots are.
-
There are larger countries on that map with fewer dots on them than Hungary. What gives? What do those dots represent? Terrorism events? Would explain the Basque region and Northern Ireland being filled in. And that cluster in Russia is, Chechenya I think.
-
So, the message is "RAEG AT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!"? Also, aren't those two the same people that Trump retweeted islamophobic comments of some time back? Also thought they were British citizens I don't know the specifics of the speech or whatever they were going to do, other than the fact that they were far-right. It would arguably have been more appropriate to just let them talk and let the counterprotestors, well, counterprotest it.

Probably because California is liberal and the whole sanctuary state/city thing. That's what she says right now anyway. Could change after the midterms as politicians get serious on whether they'll run for sure or not.

The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
smjjames replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
Sounds like a bad idea, judging by how much my wife yelled at me after getting her killed in Shovel Knight yesterday. Depends on the game maybe? Probably not a great idea for a first date unless the two already know each other well or you know they have the same interests. -

You know, has it even been found out that the Florida shooter played those kinds of games? I don't recall seeing any mention of it. I get what's meant by changing the culture, but those kinds of games are played worldwide, so, if there really was a corresponding spike in violence due to video game use, then we should be seeing that everywhere, but that isn't happening. -
Does that mean you don't like Pallegina? Though she's the opposite of the points you give, and godlikes are supposed to be really rare.

The GOPs ability to pretzel logic so much that it bends time and space strike again. state legislators in Tennessee killed a bill against child marriage in order to bolster a conservative lawyers case against same-sex marriage. The lawyers logic? "If Tennessee were to ban child marriages by modifying state marriage law, lawmakers would be acknowledging the existence of same-sex marriage, according to Fowler’s legal theory." ****ing logic there, makes no sense at all. What the hell does same sex marriage have to do with child marriage? That's an extreme pretzel of a logical interdimensional hyperloop.

Is there a way to block someone on these forums?
smjjames replied to Yosharian's topic in Obsidian General
There is a report function if someone is bothering or harassing you. -
That's the frikking problem with jobs these days, you need experience for even the basic stuff! Lol the instructions there for the scissors though, circular logic there, need scissors to cut a package of scissors.
-
The Israael-Palestine problem is a whole other cluster**** entirely compared to Iraq or Myanmar (which looks more like a case of 'we thought this person was virtuous' than any sort of mistake the West made. The West didn't put her in power AFAIK).

Nice dad prank, lol.

So, Gary Cohn resigned. For those that don't know, Gary Cohn was the top economic advisor to Trump and the main voice for globalism, now theres nobody in the WH with any sort of metaphorical weight on the globalists side. https://www.axios.com/gary-cohn-to-quit-trump-white-house-1520375466-9fb41c18-c5b4-4821-b6d5-a0fa0363aa3c.html

The thing is that the President is the only one who can actually enforce discipline for those under them as far as the hatch act stuff goes, but that only works if the President actually cares about the ethics violations.

Guess what on the Delta airline NRA discount, there were only 13 people even using said discount. 13 out of what, 5 million NRA members? That totally makes business sense to me to discontinue a discount that is barely even being used at all. I suppose it's possible that the discount wasn't well known or there are just better, more attractive, discounts available, but still, I wonder if those Georgia state legislators knew that it was barely being used at all.
