JT Jag posted:The Obama administration can't federally outlaw the death penalty but I really admire how much of a pain in the rear end they've made it The lengths they're willing to go to execute people - especially ones lately whose guilt was extremely shaky - is a disturbing side effect of it all. Untested, unapproved chemicals that cause a prolonged death where the patient is responsive is something that they witnessed and said, "okay let's do that again" like an hour later. Now they're literally smuggling in Schedule I drugs just to kill people because....that's what Jesus wanted? Anybody who could witness the account of the botched execution and still be on board with experimental drugs is hosed in the head v v v v there is zero doubt that they were aware of their illegality. It's not like ordering a supplement and it has a bunch of ingredients and WHOOPS one is viagra, the whole reason they had to smuggle it in is because it's illegal to possess here. Even if they didn't know, they would've been informed the instant they tried to acquire it through their usual channels for other drugs v v v v Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 09:31 on Oct 24, 2015 |

I am very disappointed that Ryan is taking over speakership, rather than this insanity continuing. I was going to suggest USPOL November: The Boehner Maintainer as a title, but now that won't be needed. Maybe the HFC will force Ryan to vacate the chair somehow and we can do all this over again.

ComradeCosmobot posted:My understanding is that Vilerat's wife counted as his "immediate family." And since his mother was somewhat estranged from him because of his choice of wife... Well, you get the picture. Right after Benghazi went down, I listened to a Hannity radio show where they had the mom on and Hannity gave her a ton of time to vent. She made it pretty clear that she was insane, she was extremely estranged from her son and it was most likely due to his marriage and her own insanity, and she was more loving pissed that her daughter in-law and grandchildren were still alive than she was about her son being dead because they, Vilerat's family, would have nothing to do with her. The woman is seriously bat poo poo crazy and an easy mark for right wing talking heads.

JT Jag posted:This is literally how privatized fire departments work The cases you are thinking of are public fire departments in small cities that can only afford to put out fires in the surrounding countryside with the countryside paying money (since the countryside refuses to raise taxes a bit to have their own). And specifically, cases where people who refused to pay had already been given a free ride once before, and after that continued to refuse to pay and as such lost one of their 3 homes.

Apparently 42% of Republicans in Iowa love Ben Carson because he has NO foreign policy experience, 73% because he DOES NOT want a Muslim to be president, 77% because he believes gun control helped Hitler, and 81% because he claims Obamacare is the worst thing since slavery. Wow, Republicans.

For all that the media has been painting him as a moderate, the reality is that he was emblematic of the Tea Party back in the 2012 campaign, and holds a host of bizarre "throttle the government" opinions.

Dude has maintained abolishing Medicaid (well, turning it into under-funded block grants) as a central policy position for years, and he's on the record saying that blowing the debt limit was "no big deal." I take it as a known quantity at this point? I'm still coming off a good glow with how well House Dems handled the committee hearing, and I've had my heart broken before with the lack of unified front of the Democratic party, but, like the Cubs, "this could be the year." Instead of the ideology of the right simmering underneath ignored voting records and with the defense budget now on the table, I think there could be a good, dangerous, public debate that could define the parties for the next few cycles. It's been held off on since at least 2000, and we have yet to come to grips with the Recession. GOP has been floundering since '08; these last-gasp radicals are the easiest to cut down on a national stage, and, thankfully, that's this election.
