SquadronROE posted:They'll definitely be passing some sort of reform. It's too big of a "ha! Look! We can get things done!" opportunity for them to miss. Especially since their voting base aren't in a position to refute the effectiveness of that reform. And if anyone else says "What you passed is poo poo." they'll say, "Hey, you had years to pass something and didn't. The American people wanted something done, so we did something." Speaking as someone who has lived in the Phoenix area for a long time, this will go over like a lead balloon with the Hispanic community unless it shortens the amount of time for legal immigration and allows the illegal parents of legal kids to ultimately be able to live here with their family intact. Shooting down President Bush (and Rick Perry, for that matter) combined with the racism on display toward the President over the last few years have caused some pretty permanent and incalculable damage to the Republican brand among that audience. It's not going to be as simple as "look at the shiny new immigration law that doesn't do what you need it to do anyways."

You can actually test postive for use up to a week after but the normal time frame is 3-5 days. That's because you don't screen for cocaine, you screen for what it's metabolized as which stays in the body for longer periods. Also, he was booted instead of swept under because you don't gently caress with the Navy's zero tolerance drug policy.

As if you even need to ask what said bill won't include. Hope you like going back to your home country to wait in the same, increasingly slow, immigration line as all those other immigrants! What? You thought INS was getting more funding? I think you meant ICE. Oh, and keep in mind, this is a nice compromise. We could have chosen to not even include that provision! Aren't we so kind? Vote Republican 2016!

Limbo posted:I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here or in another thread, but apparently Diamond Joe's son Hunter was discharged from the Navy Reserve back in February after testing positive for cocaine. Expect to see all the usual suspects go apoplectic over this further sign of the nation's descent into hell. You've gotta be trying pretty hard to come up hot for cocaine, that's impressive.

If Biden decides to run in the primaries I'll vote for Hillary with no reservations if she asks him why he feels his family should be immune to the drug laws he supports during a debate (she won't).

http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/where-the-tea-party-rules-20141014 So this is a real good article you should read. I have family in and from Lima and have spent a lot of time there, and this is depressingly accurate. Lima was tea party since the 80s at least, and the current result is how those policies shake out.

What I meant was that it's hard to get popped for coke unless you're a habitual user or incredibly unlucky. How often does the military drug test soldiers? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Most positive drug tests come up as "weed" since that takes forever to metabolize.

Quote of the day, "I went to a restaurant up in New York when I was there during the General Assembly, and my credit card was rejected. It turned out I guess I don't use it enough. So they thought there was some fraud going on. Fortunately, Michelle had hers." ~ Barack Obama at the CFPB.

Fried Chicken posted:http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/where-the-tea-party-rules-20141014 Honestly I don't think many people have much faith left in government even if they aren't Tea Partiers. While the Republicans and more specifically the Tea Partiers are actively trying to burn the country to the ground and loot whatever ruins are left, the Democrats don't really seem to have much of a plan outside of swaying to public opinion on social issues (and not actually leading until it becomes clear those specific issues are popular) and sacrificing labor, minorities, and the poor in order to gain the favor of financial interests which are needed to win elections. Obviously the Democrats are much less terrible but we've reached a point where more and more of America doesn't really see a difference and becoming disillusioned in the ability of our leaders to help which results in more stupid "well let private interests handle it" making things worse. The Republicans obviously have done their best to make life as miserable as possible for people in order to tarnish Obama's image, but it's really not like he's doing tons to reign in the corrupt financial that crashed the economy or end the indentured servitude recently graduated college students have found themselves in. Regardless of if it was deserved or not, a lot of people put faith in Obama to change stuff and he turned out to be just another guy committed to the status quo. I really don't see an endgame here other than a theocratic third world nightmare with a few hold out areas in fifty years or so as the cuts to education really sink in, public assets and the environment is sold to the highest bidder, and more and more wealth becomes consolidated in the hands of a tiny percentage of Americans. It doesn't help much that it seems as soon as someone gets any sort of success they fall into the "gently caress you, got mine" mentality a large part of our media hammers into us at all times.

Fried Chicken posted:http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/where-the-tea-party-rules-20141014 quote:Lori tells me she's simply too busy to pay attention to politics. She's concerned about the Second Amendment and suspects Obama may harbor ''more Islamic interest than he cares to share.'' But she's also concerned about gas prices, her health care premiums and her union contract, which she tells me ''isn't worth the paper it's printed on.'' During the last general election, in 2012, Scott, in protest of Obama's fiscal and foreign policies, voted for Mitt Romney. Lori, despite her fears, couldn't decide. ''I didn't feel confident that either choice was worse – they were both bad,'' she says. ''So I wrote in Mickey Mouse.'' Oh boy. But what can be done? This kind of frustration is so common.
