Ben No.3 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 And it's only 70 days in.Woo hoo! Only 1313 to go until we pick Trump again or a Democrat that will be just as bad if not worse. Unless voters finally say enough is enough and do something different. Not holding out much hope but you never know. Something very different indeed Clarification: I do not support democratic centralism, Leninism or Stalinism. I just found it amusing.

Wrath of Dagon Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 The quality and IQ of reporters just keeps sinking: Monday's triple shooting also figures to test the state's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows citizens to shoot someone if they believe their safety is threatened. Oklahoma is among 24 states with such a provision, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A criminal law expert, who discussed the Oklahoma home invasion case in his Wednesday class, doubted charges would be brought against the son. Joseph Cillo, an assistant professor of criminal justice at Saint Leo University in Florida and a former Los Angeles defense attorney, said the son would be protected by the Castle Doctrine, which states that a person can defend their home if they feel they are in danger. "The Castle Doctrine is even better than 'Stand Your Ground,'" Cillo said. "It would be a criminal homicide if he would have killed them outside. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/03/31/oklahoma-home-invasion-shooting-3-victims-broke-into-property-earlier-that-day.html It's an AP article, not a Fox News article, before the snarky comments. And I just heard a completely fact free piece of propaganda report on sanctuary cities on NPR, honestly our press is worse than the Soviet press, at least the Soviets had the excuse of being afraid for their lives.

Hurlshort Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 I get that it is sloppy that they keep sticking to the stand your ground narrative, but at least they quoted an expert to make themselves look foolish.
redneckdevil Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I'll be completely honest. I really couldn't give a **** if they found any ties between Trump and Russia. Reason I guess is because I'm getting burnt out on all these accusations and just don't care anymore. Seriously, this is something very important but we are being overloaded with all these small things so often and soooo much, I just don't care anymore. Amen. Pretty glad Johnson didn't win even though I voted for him, bc no way could Johnson have handled all this bull****. Then again it could be equally worse and have radio silence if Hillary won. Dunno if reporting on every lil miniscule thing bc u don't like a guy be worse than we won't allow any talk about someone we like be better with the media. Dan Rather come back and save us and bitch slap the media on what is important and how to report. Also someone to fear in the media due to the truth and NOT twisting the truth to fit a narrative. Sigh metal gear solid 2, why did u have to become true

But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Ben No.3 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 When this bill has passed, anyone who'll still consider Trump a man of the people is a blind moron. Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows
BrotherFerg Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Does the Trump-Putin bromance remain iron tight like the curtain? Or did Putin just play on Trumps ego and then station Russian war ships 30 miles off of Connecticut, attempt to dictate another Eastern Europe coup in Montenegro, create chaos leading to federal investigations into the presidential cabinet of the USA and fullfill his life long dream of weakening the bonds that bind the greatest military alliance that ever existed? It is a mystery. Edited April 1, 2017 by BrotherFerg Why does a chair have arms and legs like a man, but can't walk or hold things?

Barothmuk Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 Russians used ‘Bernie Bros’ as ‘unwitting agents’ in disinformation campaign Well I'm glad that's sorted. For a second I was worried America might have a class issue. 1
Zoraptor Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 I feel that someone should at least Correct The Record on where the term 'Bernie Bros' came from. Ideally, someone should get the Senate Committee to visit /pol/ if they really want to know where most of the anti Hillary memes came from. That, at least, would be good for a laugh. (Good lord that article is appallingly bad. Certainly does nothing to dispel the notion that there's a massive, and distinctly non Russian, psyop going on)
Volourn Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 I still have to laugh. It was just a mere 4 yearsish ago when Obama attacked the Repubs for trying to start another cold war with Russia. He lambasted them at the Presidential debates and it wa sbelieved it greatly helped him win relection. Now, it is a'' 'RUSSIA IS THE MOST EVIL COUNTRY INT HE WORLD THEY MUST BE DESTROYED'.

Comcast is looking for trends, the NSA is looking for individual threats.
Gfted1 Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Dunno. Just think of how many clicks per day you yourself account for. Now multiple that by whatever is the average amount of users per day in the country. First that information has to be stored (is it already?), then sorted and sold. Gonna need more infrastructure but I guess its doable. And yes, I absolutely believe the US has the capability to single anyone out for observation, at will. And its probably very easy for them.

Hurlshort Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 I am sure it is easy to single out a person, I think it is difficult to determine who to single out, and how many resources to devote to that individual. There are probably tens of thousands of people that fit a certain profile for domestic terrorism. It's a needle in a stack of needles. We don't get to just round people up based on suspicions, we need actionable evidence. In the meantime we only need to look away for a moment to miss something. Anyways, ISP's are really just looking for marketing trends so they can sell us more crap.
