When Piers Morgan is the voice of reason....
Some "journalist" from the Sun, I believe. Or maybe its high class cousin, the Mail, I forget which.

so-called court of appeals ruling
Theoretically they do have an obligation to be- non ironic usage- fair and balanced plus factual in how they handle the news. If instead they are being hysterical, exaggerating and pandering explicitly to an anti Trump base then they aren't fulfilling that theoretical obligation. Some have already headed towards direct incitement as well. I should probably mention again how much I utterly loathe the use of anonymous sources as the sole basis of news articles, which seems to be the popular methodology for stoking outrage at the moment. Yeah. But nothing so far as being irresponsible with a right. Well as long as they're using accurate darts. I have not noticed incitement but is believable. Anonymous sources are kind of funny after a while. I suppose the US civil service is in revolt, heh.

How is the media being irresponsible with their free speech? Onus is on Trump to deal with it as he's part of the State and (in theory) the media is to be an adversary of the state. Other than that, he should be a bigger man as he just surrenders initiative otherwise.

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.

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.

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

Politics 2017 Part 3
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.

What are you playing right now?
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.

Germany is no longer Charlie
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)

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.

so-called court of appeals ruling
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
