That isn't even worse robbery that government does. I mean they say that debt is not inherited. Like for example man is 10 million dollars in debt to you and then he dies and government tells you that man's children don't own any money to you. Like those children have not benefited from that 10 million dollars that you borrowed to their dad.

I am sure the information that the hunt helps the species won't be bought. I have a real personal problem with hunting for reasons other than consumption. But that's me. These hunts take place in other countries in accordance with their laws. It is not the US governments business to tell citizens they can't go to a place they are welcome to do an activity that is legal. And this ban was yet another example of an intrusive nanny state sticking it's nose where it does not belong. If you want the hunts banned you really should be talking to the governments that not only allow but encourage them. As distasteful as I find the activity, free people should be left alone to pursue their interests as long as they are legal where they pursue them. So government should not ban importing goods that are attained legally in some other country which has questionable laws, even if it something like for example drugs and slaves?

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/11/the-secret-correspondence-between-donald-trump-jr-and-wikileaks/545738/ The Secret Correspondence Between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks The transparency organization asked the president’s son for his cooperation—in sharing its work, in contesting the results of the election, and in arranging for Julian Assange to be Australia’s ambassador to the United States.

They are also same people that determine what information is so valuable for country that it needs to be kept from public eye and therefore can't be stored on private server. I mean if people don't believe them, then people should not prosecute other people for not believing them right? Seeing how Hillary isn't in jail, no prosecution going on right? I mean people who claim that sensitive information from security services is lie are same people who demand that Hilary should be jailed for treason because she potentially leaked said sensitive information. And they also claim that failure to prosecute Hilary is an example of government corruption. So what ur saying is is someone catches u lying as long as ur part of the govt and/or media, it means ur trustworthy to believe the next thing told to ya... I see what ur doing, the only flaw is is it started out with a lie (Hillary saying she didn't use a private server and then kept escalating) otherwise u would have a point..... Nah, anyone who thinks the govt and/or media tells you the truth and nothing but the truth, sadly is a fool. Which is why I personally support open government, where information is released to public. I though that she only denied sending classified emails from her private server (which seems to have been lie) But funniest and saddest thing about Hilary's private server is how it was found out that she uses one. One of her aide's aol account was hacked and said aid had used it to sent emails to Clinton, when she was the secretary of state. Because that is just unacceptable form of incompetency.

Reading how GOP politicians are defending Moore, I would not be so sure. Like for example To defense of Roy Moore from AL state Auditor Jim Ziegler: "Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.” And Sean Hannity tell on Fox that it does matter because that 14 year girl consented (even though according to law 14 years old cannot consent on sexual acts, but that don't seem to bother family value supporters)

Just name it responsible gun owner act and market it so that it looks cool to be person who takes responsibility of their actions.

Saudi Arabia is middle of political cleansing and it seem that they need outside enemies to keep people distracted from domestic politics.

It's a scary statement coming from a German I would say.We all know that monopoly is always bad in the long run. What I find wierd in US is that with all their culture of gun ownership they don't teach gun handling in school as a subject. I think there should be a class that teaches how to handle guns safely and how to act in different circumstances involving guns. Government runs what is taught at schools and the govt doesn't want people to use guns so they don't even allow them on the property even if u wanted to teach. We have the right in case to overthrow our govt if we need to, the govt isn't gonna teach people to handle to the very weapon that by right we can aim at them. They don't teach you how to use guns in schools? I had my first shooting class (with air pistols) in school when I was 9. And when I was 12 we went to actual shooting range to shoot with small caliber (.22) pistols and rifles and range owner's muskets.

Who knows at this point. Heck I am not even saying that much is even true. Just that AP is saying it. About the discharge part at least. I know about the Gun control Act of 1968 because I'm interested in that kind of stuff. AP is pretty reliable though. The only thing I can say for sure is we'll know a lot more tomorrow & Tuesday than we know today about this bastard and his motivations. This houston chronicle's article says that enforcement level isn't necessary very high -- "Anyone can sell a firearm online or at a gun show without a license, and they need not conduct a background check. The same is true in 31 other U.S. states." http://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/explainer/article/gun-laws-regulations-firearms-8381025.php

Horrific news from Texas that will become part of ongoing political debate http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41880511 At least 27 people have died after a gunman opened fire at a church in Texas during Sunday services, police say.

http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/358640-epa-names-industry-state-officials-to-advisory-boards The overhauled boards reflect a new policy Pruitt established earlier this week that no scientists receiving EPA grants could be on any of the EPA advisory committees, which he said would reduce conflicts of interest. Instead, Pruitt has pushed to encourage state and local government representatives and people with diverse viewpoints. “To ensure that EPA is receiving the best independent scientific advice, I am appointing highly-qualified experts and scientists to these important committees,” Tony Cox, the new head of the clean air committee, runs a consulting firm serving oil and chemical clients. He has published research questioning whether recent reductions in pollutants like fine particulate matter and ozone yields health benefits, which runs contrary to the EPA’s position. Robert Phalen of the University of California, Irvine is a new science board member. He has argued that current air quality in the United States is too clean for “optimum health.”

I spent a week in Catalonia in September. All the local media reported that polls say that support for independence and support for staying in Spain were even, but you could not tell that from street scene, as there you only saw banners, posters and flags that said vote for independence. And lots of people had Catalonia flag hanging out from their window or balcony. Meaning that there was no stay in Spain campaign or people showing support for being part of Spain by hanging out Spanish flag. And it was same all over Catalonia (Barcelona, Tarragona, Salou, Falset and some smaller towns that I visited). Meaning that it didn't look like that they were readying towards referendum where result is excepted to be very even. Which indicates that people's ability to campaign for staying in Spain wasn't in level that it should be in democratic referendum. Observation which is supported by fact that people supporting staying as part of Spain boycott referendum (less than 50% of Catalanian's voted) and then vote in Catalonia's parliament opponents of independence left before the vote. But I also have problems with Spain's central governments attitude dismiss any possibility for independency and their heavy handed operations to prevent referendum vote.

Catalonia is one of the riches parts of Spain. There isn't black and white answers to Catalonia's independence aspirations. Way how Catalonia's leaders went with their referendum and declaration of independence was anything but good democratic process. But also Spain's central government hasn't acted like constitutional state when it comes to this issue.

Food used to be 17%, but because EU VAT code dictates that there can be only 3 different VAT levels, so that 17% was dropped and food products were moved in lower VAT tier, so it is seen as tax cut, although people are aware that food here is expensive compared to other countries and people complain about it lot, but it don't usually effect on how they vote. In medicine nearly all prescription drugs are compensated by government, so that 10% is really true for drugs that you can buy without prescription.

Christian Cross is not just derived from Roman method of execution but is symbol that is meant to make us remember that method of execution and that we let son of God to be tortured and executed and we didn't do anything to stop it. It is also meant to tell us that son of God died because of our sins and we need to honor that sacrifice by living according of his teachings. It is also meant to symbol hope that we all can be saved at the end if we have faith in God and his son and Holy Spirit, and just like son of God we can rise to Heaven have eternal life there. And I am obviously against use of such religious symbols on government property

Because it has long since been debunked, it's the latter. Where is the debunk part in the link? Don't think it has been debunked as it's new information. Hillary denies it, but that's not surprising. I can't imagine too many people thought that she or the democrats weren't involved in the dossier creation at least. Above link leads to patreon page of poadcast that did episode about issue and they present evidence why situation isn't what you would think by reading articles about it in media. You can find link to said poadcast from mentioned patreon page. http://armscontrolwonk.libsyn.com/uranium-fever
