  Nobody except that small subset of Congress knows what evidence was provided in that meeting. McConnell is a partisan hack, but are you really going to lob treason at him based off information provided by anonymous CIA sources? I don't trust our alphabet agencies further than I can throw them and still remain skeptical in lieu of public evidence of state sponsored hacking. Even Hayden is quoted saying: "This new “Russians did it to help Trump” story was murky, unofficial and tied to anonymous sources." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump-is-already-antagonizing-the-intelligence-community-and-thats-a-problem/2016/12/12/9576a0ca-c0ad-11e6-897f-918837dae0ae_story.html?postshare=4691481634995990&tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.20c643e4bec2 I don'...

  An empty campaign promise of taco trucks on every corner would work on me. Clinton has a unique opportunity here.

Is that an example of logical and sound reasoning? FYI, Scalia decided decided Citizens United as well. If Scalia thought clapping his hands 3 times before opening the front door gave him good luck, it would have just as much to do with the Citizen's United decision as the case you just referenced. I agree with your sentiment that (social) conservatives, which comprise quite a few Republicans, often hold hypocritical positions in regards to 1st Amendment protections. From my perspective, I wish those guilty of selectively choosi...

It doesn't have to &quot;benefit&quot; anyone beyond the First Amendment implications. I get that our election system is horrible and tainted with moneyed powers, but it's not like there wasn't logical and sound reasoning behind the decision.

  Anyone who doesn't vote for Vermin Supreme this year doesn't care about the children.

Actually no, that occurred in the suburb of Watertown which borders Cambridge. You're correct, the door-to-door searches were only conducted in Watertown, but the shelter-in-place &quot;requests&quot; were initially imposed in 6 cities including Boston, and the Boston PD were heavily represented in the door to door house searches conducted in Watertown.

  Let me contrast that with this then: <link> Jason Barthel, an officer with the Mishawaka Police Department and the owner of South Bend Uniform Company, is selling a T-shirt that reads &quot;Breathe Easy, Don't Break the Law.&quot; The shirt is emblazoned with a graphic of a police officer's badge. What a piece of shit. And police around the nation wonder why their communities have lost trust and respect for them. On top of it, this asshole won't even own his insensitive, inflammatory shirt design: &quot;When we use the slogan 'Breathe Easy' we are referring to knowing the police are there for you! The police are here to protect and serve,&quot; Barthel wrote on Facebook. &quot;99.9% of us have the greater good in our hearts each time we st...

You may be more like your father than you think.

  Just like everyone who was against Obama bombing Syria was pro-Assad, along with Saddam's US fanclub that didn't want to invade Iraq. boring

Except that the Geneva Conventions call for international prosecution, not unilateral reprisal military action by an uninvolved party. These dumb fuckers can't even come up with a plausible legal framework for their adventure.

  Only the initial Shock and Awe, &quot;surgical strikes&quot; against select installations can be confidently expected to be easy or cheap (life there is cheap right?). What say the whole region comes undone as a direct or indirect result of our engagement and we are forced to throw boots on the ground, etc.? This is dangerous shit, the public is overwhelmingly against action, but the President is going to push forward with a toothless show vote in Congress that Obama says he doesn't need anyways. USA!

  oh sorry, you were saying that some peak oil authors themselves advocate expensive energy as a deterrent to uninhabitableness. What do these authors/advocates propose specifically with regards to these extra moneys collected?

• Game Over for the Climate 8/28/2013 8:08:24 PM
  
  ^ thanks to whoever wrote those points about someone deciding we shouldn't have cheap energy until we're 95% uninhabitable before rolling out thorium to destroy the last 5%. Sorry, what were you trying to say again?

  There's got to be a more appropriate thread for that last link less we just resort to free for all linking to anything we wish to attribute to parties we don't like.
