Fried Chicken posted:Reminder that the only difference between the tea party and the establishment is tactics. Giving the establishment party the rule of the roost would lead to deregulation and dismantling of social services on an epic scale, but they might be too busy to deal with some side issues businesses are ambivalent about. The Tea Party would be passing abortion bans and mining the border right alongside privatizing social security and ending the EPA.

Gee it's like interacting with someone for years builds a connection to that person more than some other random stranger  Besides he gave me my username. Also, using anyone's death as a vehicle to pursue your political agenda is loving awful. It's not like they trotting out names of people that died in the Bush embassy attacks is it? http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/blm-wrangler-armed-confrontation-utah quote:After two armed men threatened a Bureau of Land Management wrangler on Tuesday in western Utah, workers are removing BLM logos from their vehicles to help avoid additional incidents, the Salt Lake Tribune reported on Thursday. I would be very worried if I worked for the BLM. How many days until someone actually gets hurt? Heck Yes! Loam! fucked around with this message at 23:06 on May 8, 2014 |

sleepingbuddha posted:Sure, they voted for it, but I'd be even more pissed to find out I voted for a war based on lies. The real problem is that the Democrats are way too drat conciliatory. Oh we don't want to set a precedent of impeaching the President, not like you guys did to our last one and will likely do to the current one. Their own leadership was banging the Iraq war drums when Clinton was president and going on about an Iraqi nuclear program. They voted based on lies because many have wanted to believe it to be true since the 90s. Many senior Democrats have no right to any sort of indignation over Iraq. They'd have voted to go to war earlier given the chance. Dystram posted:http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/bill-clinton-lloyd-blankfein-blood-lust-geithner-sorkin Put up or shut up, Clinton. Just nationalize the banks and seize their assets. We get our money back and we get to watch now-poor bankers kill themselves like in the Great Depression.

I think the comment was less "government is more trigger happy" and more "the fringe wingnut groups ultimately lack the courage of their convictions, yet will still create an air of fear sufficient to make the government employees respond in self-preservation." Of course, the guys brandishing weapons do have the added opportunity of the gun going off due to poor control if nothing else, so there's that.

Fried Chicken posted:In a 60-36 decision, the public announced today that they think the Roberts Court is chasing a partisan or personal agenda rather than rendering impartial rulings on law The On the plus side, even 72% of Republicans oppose Citizen's United, ending up at a total of 80% of those surveyed. On the other negative side, the fact that this means nothing is just more evidence that the USA is an oligarchy.

Exactly this. I don't think these nuts will straight up murder someone out of the blue but I can easily see a threatened individual pull a weapon and at that point somebody is going to die. If we are "lucky" the person who will do this will be another militia nut because they are apparently going all  with each group not trusting the others.

You have to treat old Republicans as a protected class, as they almost universally have lead poisoning causing near-senility at an early age. Combine that with the fact the only thing they've accomplished over their lifetimes was to wreck the most advantaged country in the world, well, you can expect a lot of arguments to go nowhere as they hang their self worth on something they're pretty sure the TV said about Benghazi.

If you ran a feed on every major news channel during prime time and had a list of grievances read against each person before they were executed the US population would never stop watching it. e: Bill's statement should be a reminder for people when they opine about Hilary 2016 for any reason other than "she's not Rand Paul/Paul Ryan/Ted Cruz/etc" because she's going to be pretty much the same or a bit to the right at this point.
