Ah, thought they were going to dose him with polonium or something with the URL truncation there. Isn't that a case of live by sword though?

Maybe go back and reread my post for your better comprehension? I also mention "you" and "your ancestors" as possible motives for deserving to be on the receiving end of terrorism. I'm sure we can come up with a few more too! Still holds. While seeing someone upset at victim blaming here is a bit amusing, at the level of a state it isn't all that bad (given the abstract nature of it). Suppose you have to look at the attacks at a high level as well.

Arvid Axelsson is a cool name, will use that for my next burner identity

The "west"? Isn't the party line to trot out the ole "the majority of terrorism happens in ME countries". What did they do to deserve it? Oh yeah, slightly different interpretation of the scripture. I guess pretty much anything is a valid reason huh? Well you were bleating about Crusades and others so you weren't looking at the West? Isn't all that hard to understand things don't reach a point without a lot of hands involved. Ah well.

Is that you, Arvid? Way over my head there. Had a feeling when I backed it that I was getting suckered. Ah well, was only $100. Means less hookers and blow for a month.

Seems a bit low. Granted winter here is proper winter we have it running at 73 here.

Amusingly simplistic view. Well unless you believe the West isn't reaping a bit of what they've sown.

Hah, I backed this. Well, got hosed I guess.

Is it that new? Recall people judging others by their political stances a lot in the past. Mostly people picking on liberals for being hippies but that is just the crowd I dealt with. People can be defined by what groups they back. Sports clubs is a bad comparison as that seems like an example of loyalty gone insane as for the most part people's minds follow "my club right or wrong". Also nothing wrong with hating Chelsea FC fans. Maybe it is due to excessive flaming online warping people's minds.

Back on D3. Doing the same thing over and over for crap rewards hoping one time it'll be something worthwile. It's like an office job.

Ah, tales of woe and persecution. The injustice. You should have just posted the article in the languages, surprisingly people would get it translated or the array of languages understood across this forum might be used. Also, is fairly ignorant to use that as a marker of intelligence, but ironies abound. But also, yeah, the Daily Mail was fake news before it was cool, they're like the Sun minus the **** (though, Joey Fisher IS nice, it isn't something one reads a paper for)

Hopefully he faces some challenges this time.

Yeah, I always go with Charybdis.

Interesting metric there for victory, some of his cabinet nominees have had some fuss over them, but not as if they'd torpedo their chance for a good job and the Republicans kneel as ordered anyway, so.

Didn't seem they consulted with her. I guess there was a rush just to show stuff being done. So a new EO is in the works. Should just run it through Congress, heh

Wonder if we'll ever find out why they didn't wait until they had an AG at least.

Yeah, so ass pulls or "Everyone knows..." type of reasoning then, for the most part. Huh, he really is the final form of Rob Ford.

I think they concluded that the government didn't do a proper job of justifying such an emergency measure, or at least that's what the news here summarized for me. Anyway, might be interesting reading to some - http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2017/02/09/17-35105.pdf

We'll see bull**** the likes of which mankind has never seen before.

Well, I guess fear is the drum to bang on. This whole thing is so private sector it's funny, going off half-****ed with like 20 minutes of thought by about half the people that should have been involved

Wonder what online hardman speak Trump will use to respond to this.

Wasn't like those under Bush or Obama were any good either. All press secretaries are awful- it's in the nature of their job to be terrible, they have to lie, obfuscate, embiggen, spin and generally be untrustworthy- and the Bush/ Obama ones at least had the advantage of a more orthodox approach from their boss, and a far less overtly hostile press- even term 2 Bush. Then again, when I see 'alternative facts' I know that it isn't a new phenomenon- Obama's PR blithely defended the murder of civilians with drones, massaged the numbers, 'forgot' to include a significant number of them in stats (only for them to be rediscovered once he left office) etc. Sure, that's different from Spicer overestimating the numbers at Trump's inauguration, Obama's underestimation of the number of civilians he killed was greater than Spicer's overestimation and was referring to people actually dying as opposed to turning up to be bored by politicians talking for hours. I guess there are professional lies, i.e. almost every government statements, and then all this nonsense from Trump - inept dishonesty is disappointing. Well and trying to be shifty about stuff that doesn't matter.
