Also, in the least-shocking news, a bipartisan senate report just released details about how information and infrastructure initally collected/built to rally support for Israeli/Palestinian peace funded by grants secured by the State Dept. was later used to support the campaign to defeat Netanyahu.

So it was used for its intended purpose? Gosh :geno:

Sounds like it was used for the stated purpose, albeit unsuccessfully.

They haven't been blocking the interstate til relatively late at night anyway, but also I think they've made progress between the mayors office and the protesters lately. People seem to think it won't happen tonight, or will be significantly dialed back from previous nights.

Either way, they won't go on 20 (they've been blocking the connector right at downtown instead), so you should be fine getting to and from Alabama.

yeah, as was his right to do as someone who made a drat good run for a total dark horse, and a victory for the left in america, if not what some people probably hoped for.

all in all there is not all that much to mad about, besides being mad at a system that favors candidates like hillary, but that is an entire other issue.

I listened to the local political radio show today and everyone who called in was saying that Clinton obviously threatened Sanders and is manipulating him into endorsing her because everyone knows she's bought and paid for by banks.

No but you see, if you didn't favor Hillary from the outset and wanted the party to move to the left then you're a stupid berniebro or bernout, or whatever other stupid label can be applied. Did you know Bernie Sanders was a racist and a sexist?

"There is no proof anywhere for this claim" is not 'you're wrong'. (which would actually require being defended)

it's a way to push the burden of argument on the other person, to provide affirmative proof via a study or something of what they are saying before you will even consider the point being made. Not exactly fodder for encouraging discussion; at best, it encourages a cite war.

EDIT: I think cite wars are worthless

The argument that protecting fat people against discrimination would increase obesity is ridiculous on its face. I wasn't asking for a citation. There is no citation.

I wasn't shifting the burden of proof. There is no proof.

Hopefully they and/or the police are being safety-conscious. :3:

tldr: big signs, people ahead of the protest carrying them (and reflective / lit poo poo at night), procedures for letting emergency vehicles through

All of which the police do if they can be bothered but bigger, flashier, and taxpayer-funded. :v:
