My fellow Americans, tonight I want to tell you that ISIS have indeed put on Kobe Bryant's jersey, yet much like him will soon be retired.

Is this gonna be the speech where he finally admits in order of bad to worse: He's going to take away my guns, rape my wife, then raise my taxes?

It would be on a national speech during primetime and getting deeper into an election year. Could candidates really go from ATTACK ISIL YOU COWARD!!! to NO OBAMA WE MUST AVOID WAR!!! without people noticing? I'm not so sure.

Especially since national defense is going to end up being a big topic next year as terrorist attacks increase. Unfortunately they also control the narrative. Don't get me wrong, I *want* you to he right, but my suspicion is that they can avoid giving the president a AUMF AND still claim to have tougher foreign policy.

Preview of tomorrow's speech:quote:We have moved to an entirely new phase in the global terrorist threat and in our homeland security efforts, Jeh Johnson, the secretary of homeland security, said in an interview on Saturday. Terrorists have in effect outsourced attempts to attack our homeland. Weve seen this not just here but in other places. This requires a whole new approach, in my view.

quote:Unable to curb the availability of guns at home or extremist propaganda from overseas, the authorities may have to rely more on encouraging Americans to watch one another and report suspicions. Federal and local governments already have programs urging friends, families and neighbors to identify people targeted for recruitment. Oh goody, the Stasi but for Muslims.

Can't wait for that sort of program to become a de facto warrant to harass Muslims while some hillbilly on the west side of town of my college campus continues being radicalized by untracked white supremacist groups, then snaps and shoots up a bunch of people because he saw a hijab.

But he's white, so guess how worried people are about what he was up to?

QuoProQuid posted:Given the carte blanche that is the 2001 AUMF, is there any reason he would actually want a new AUMF? I understand that Congress has been trying to write a new authorization for some time, but there's little agreement about what restrictions that would entail. The GOP doesn't want to change anything because they want the ability to put lots of troops in the middle east without congress if they win the presidency. And if they don't they get to kick and scream about illegal wars by Clinton and Obama.

Yeah. That really looks like a normal (for the US) gun hobbyist collection, minus the body armor. The fake badges and such are pretty worrying though.

We also already actually had somebody snap at just the sight of a hijab and beat the poo poo out of a Muslim lady in front of her 9 year old daughter. He tried to strangle her to death while screaming WHITE POWER and KILL THEM ALL over and over. He's facing basic battery charges because Indiana has no hate crime laws of any type (up until recently the Klan would just sort things out in most of the state). He bit a policeman in the lockup too apparently, and blew almost 0.20. Thankfully this is a hippie liberal college town so it didn't get swept under the rug like it would've been in any other southern Indiana town So yeah, it's pretty annoying to me when people INSIST that I'm in immediate danger from ISIS attacks. Why would they even bother attacking us? We attack ourselves on their behalf.

An important few paragraphs from the nyt " The death toll from jihadist terrorism on American soil since the Sept. 11 attacks 45 people is about the same as the 48 killed in terrorist attacks motivated by white supremacist and other right-wing extremist ideologies, according to New America, a research organization in Washington. And both tolls are tiny compared with the tally of conventional murders, more than 200,000 over the same period. But the disproportionate focus they draw in the news media and their effect on public fear demand the attention of any administration."
