If one of those pie in the face guys gets Carson it would be nice if for the rest of his campaign people would say "you would be dead just like those victims if he was actually a shooter" but that would require the GOP candidates to be even the smallest bit critical of insane gun policies so...

1337JiveTurkey posted:What if the House Can't Elect a New Speaker? Because what America really needs is a constitutional crisis And, I mean, this doesn't seem like an implausible scenario. In fact it looks like the most likely scenario. You have three basic voting groups in the House, none of them can elect a Speaker without the assistance of the others, and it's hard to see who's going to flinch. Doesn't help that the Republicans don't seem to have any particularly compelling leaders waiting in the wings at this point.

Fried Chicken posted:The whole point of the surge was that it was a short term strategy. Even Bush and Petraeus described it as so at the time. It was meant to buy enough peace for us to get out and that was it. Which it did. You trying to claim it achieved longstanding permanence only to be bungled by Obama is stunningly ahistorical and a massive example of revisionist history. This is straight up how Republicans will attempt to write history, and will campaign. I've been hearing this poo poo since we pulled out of Iraq, and regardless of which administration pulls out of Afghanistan (and we will, eventually) it'll happen there, too. We live in a post-factual society (or any notion that we ever lived in a factual society was silly in the first place).

Not only that, it's ridiculous because it assumes that everybody in times of great duress is both physically fit enough to subdue a shooter while unarmed, and collectively capable of outflanking a guy in a small classroom full of poo poo.

I'm setting the over/under until a GOP presidential candidate calls Obama the "Apologizer in Chief" at six hours.quote:"This morning from the Oval Office, President Obama spoke by telephone with Doctors Without Borders International President Dr. Joanne Liu, to apologize and express his condolences for the MSF staff and patients who were killed and injured when a US military airstrike mistakenly struck an MSF field hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan over the weekend," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in the White House briefing.

It won't happen because you might have a handful of open carriers on campus at a time, but yeah the intersection of college dumbasses, alcohol and firearms is potential risk and is also the reason that administrators at zero major universities are for it. This is probably right out of ALEC in order to appease the NRA by making a non-issue into an issue since there really aren't that many more closed frontiers to cram guns into.

Bob Ojeda posted:Because what America really needs is a constitutional crisis The vote for Boehner's successor is going to happen while he's still speaker so in theory he can at least get the debt ceiling raised enough to prevent a default. Otherwise if they can't get a speaker by November 5, then there's no way to raise the ceiling. More importantly to Boehner, there's no way to share the blame since the problem wouldn't be Obama refusing their demands if there's nobody who can make them.

People have been accusing humanitarian organizations of being collaborators of evil for decades (and probably longer, but I don't have time to do the research). MSF actually split from the Red Cross because they felt they weren't adequately supporting/speaking out on behalf of victims of the Biafran civil war/famine. None of which is to excuse an attack on an organization that won the freaking Nobel Peace Prize, only to note that when humans see someone helping someone get better, some of the particularly lovely humans will inevitably wonder if they'll also provide that kind of unconditional assistance to the other side.

Dead Reckoning posted:Well, given that this hasn't been a serious problem everywhere else concealed carry is legal, and that Texas has found that licensed CCers are more law-abiding than average citizens and even sworn law enforcement officers, I don't think it's something to worry about. I suppose if someone draws when they don't have good reason, you can have them arrested for brandishing and take away their license like normal. Aren't they also trying to get rid of licensing requirements?
