Guard Dog Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 The difference between an arsehole and a genocidal maniac is more than just a difference of degree.Genocidal maniac? Don't get me wrong. I love and participate in good hyperbole and melodrama to spice up forum chatter. But that is a stretch. Let's see, Trump has been in office for five months now. He has ordered one cruise missile strike that killed 15 people according to Syria. The LA Times thinks is was more like 4 but whatever. Of course the attack was in response to a chemical weapons attack that killed over 70 including children in a US backed rebel group. Not that it was any better than the others but whatever. By July 4 2009 Barack Obama ordered drone strikes that killed over 241 in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Yemen (who we were not even at war with at the time. Of course we were not at war with Syria, Iraq, & Afghanistan either). 241 including non-combatants because air delivered ordinance does not know the difference. And he won a Nobel Peace Prize four months later! But Hitler and Arafat both had those in their trophy cases too so that does not mean much. By the end of 2016 the Obama Admin would order strikes that killed almost 4k people. Just to compare, in the first six months the body count of George W Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, Ronald Regan, and Jimmy Carter was 0. He is a buffoon and a fool no doubt. But genocidal maniac? Not even CLOSE! Obama came a lot closer. You liked him didn't you? But it's still early. Almost forgot, my source material: https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/projects/drone-war And he dropped MOBA IIRC Yep, I forgot about that one. I stand corrected.

Gfted1 Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Looks like an attention grab to me.

Agiel Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) On the story in which Scarborough and Brzezinski were reportedly threatened with a damaging story printed in the National Enquirer, for the benefit of our non-North American readers, that is a publication found on the rack at the grocery store checkout line that has printed some variation of "Hillary: Six Months to Live" on the cover... for the past two decades. "Hillary" is also interchangeable with just about any celebrity that is probably chosen on the basis that the editor in chief just so happened to hit his or her name on a dartboard and "six months to live" can optionally be "in rehab". Edited June 30, 2017 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. 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

It just seems like something that should be legally impossible.

Epically disgusting. In kalifornia's case, it is hypocritical as well since they likely do a lot of business with countries that are vehemently anti gay. In fact, doesn't Kalifornia oppose the Muslim country travel 'bans'? the same countries that re largely anti gay? Shouldn't they be supporting them based on their anti gay stances?

LMAO Hypocrisy in Politics. Well.. I never. The thing about 'legally impossible' laws is that once passed they generally need to be challenged in court before they're actually deemed 'legally impossible'. A legislature and executive can pass pretty much any law they want, and it will stand until someone challenges it and succeeds in getting a court to agree that the law should not be. So in the case of this California law, another State would have to challenge it in Federal court. Good luck finding another state that actually wants emissaries from the State Government of California visiting them. 1

Blarghagh Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 Or, you know, any mental health professional worth their salt would have the man institutionalized if he didn't have the money to bury them forever.

These dummies never realize the simple fact that once you set a precedent...for example, stealing a supreme court justice...it often comes back to bite you in the butt later on, and devolves the state of politics even further than it already is. Set up this "committee" and you may well find yourself on the other end of that blade somewhere down the road. It's irrelevant, anyways, since it won't pass: if enough Republicans felt comfortable with this "committee" to vote for it, they'd just signal their support for impeachment to begin with, rendering it moot. Perhaps there should be a way of determining if a president is still sane, but having it be a political process - which it would be, as is obvious from any other Congressional committee - is not the way to go. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
Blarghagh Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 While I'm not a mental health professional at all, a lifetime of experience with them and groups of people suffering from mental illness has made me fairly confident that President Trump suffers from the following:Cognitive DisorderSolipsism Developmental Dyspraxia Ganser Syndrome Histrionic, Narcissistic, Paranoid and Borderline Personality Disorders Schizoeffective Disorder Psychosis Opioid Dependence Body Dysmorphic Disorder (obsession with hand size) Erectile Dysfunction (clearly)With extremely high levels of comorbidity judging by the diagnostic requirements and standards of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). He is clearly a danger to himself and those around him. While this bill won't pass, it is clearly the moral thing to do to get him the help he needs and away from responsibilities he's clearly not capable of dealing with.I wish more than the last two were jokes, but I'm pretty sure about the rest. (This post is clearly in jest.)
