Bartimaeus Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Thirteen Russians indicted by the special counsel for various crimes relating to election tampering, in addition to a California man. More to come in the coming months, it seems... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

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.

injurai Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Are these Russians being held in the US, or are they symbolic charges against people abroad? Maybe a mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Mostly symbolic because extradition won't happen unless Putin decides that those people did him wrong and deserve to be punished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played enough post-apocalyptic games to know it helps with the looters Remember your NBC training? They had some good tips on dealing with the shockwave and radiation from a nuclear blast.

Three Russian firms were also "implicated", and it seems more charges will be levied against Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

BruceVC Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/jimmy-kimmel-trump-school-shooting-1.16800745 I dont particularly like Trump but its not fair he is getting told " how dare he comes to visit Florida by angry parents " ....he is also getting told he is being a hypocrite as he wont sign any anti-gun laws The high level of gun violence is not Trumps fault and associations like the NRA always oppose any regulation. As we have discussed there will always be incidents like this in the USA so if Trump wants to go to Florida he should be able to without excoriation and maledictions This tragedy is simply a reality that sometimes occurs in the USA "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Bartimaeus Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) He's being painted as a hypocrite because he made it easier for the mentally ill to obtain guns...and then immediately blamed the massacre on the mentally ill while proposing to do nothing to actually solve our crisis of mentally ill people (...while also crapping all over our quite deadly opioid crisis). It's as stupid as it sounds. Edited February 17, 2018 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

injurai Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) how does Jimmy Kimmel live with himself? I'm really sick of this whole, if only we all use our common sense, majority public opinion says, styled rhetoric. He's so devoid of any really insight across the aisle. It's no wonder they cede so much ground on issues they deem important. Edited February 17, 2018 by injurai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injurai Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Just in BruceVC's link at the top of page. How many shootings has he pulled this ****. I won't be so cynical to call out his emotional response and verge of tears. But every time it's the same empty gestures of activism. which I find is a trend amongst the new left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly my point, yes the media doesnt like Trump but now we have the parents of children literally screaming on CNN at Trump.....saying he mustn't come to Florida For me it actually seems to undermine the real tragedy.

But every time it's the same empty gestures of activism. which I find is a trend amongst the new left.I guess I don't know enough about Jimmy Kimmel to comment (except that it's a pretty common trend in our society when anything bad happens that the people more on the side of not overtly trying to restrict these bad things from happening always say "let's not politicize this", while those on the other are always in an uproar doing the exact opposite, and it seems like neither side ever realizes the hypocrisy of it all). I think this is literally the first time I've seen a picture of him. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Raithe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 **** You I like guns One veteran's blog on how they enjoy guns, enjoyed learning how to shoot, but were happy in the army where all those guns were locked away in the arms room at the end of the day and not carried around for "barracks defense" as standard practice.

Blarghagh Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Lets leave Trump out of this one What? No. He overturned mental illness checks for guns. He says mental illness is to blame for this one, ergo he practically admitted personal responsibility for this one. I don't give two ****s about what Jimmy Kimmel says, but let's certainly NOT leave Trump out of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Also, since we do tend to focus on American politics here... I did see "Very quietly today while we grieved, the House passed a bill to gut the Americans with Disability Act." Washington Post - House passes changed to Americans with Disabilities Act over activist objections "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
