I don't know why you people are acting surprised that a group would be pushing for additional laws for their special-snowflake concern despite current laws already covering the topic.






























It's not like we're talking about gun laws and murder.

Don't they have to remove two existing laws on the books if they want to add a new regulation on our behavior? I hope they get rid of drug laws and weapons restrictions. :pray:

His views with respect to the 'War on Terror' are... well, I wouldn't call it 'forever war', but it sounds an awful lot like forever war.

Edit: That interview is almost word for word the exact same line of justification used in leaks on the proposed policy. Christ, Wolf, you're a wimpy poo poo and all but at least try to call genocide when it's voiced on open air.

Depends, you really want the three letter agencies to start disapearing members of the executive? That's how you get coups. I mean there's nothing that intel agencies can do at this point besides continually leak worse and worse poo poo so that public outcry finally forces the congress to do the needful and take trump out behind the gym. The Judiciary has to bring charges up and good loving luck with Sessions as the Attorney General or the Congress has to do it and good luck with republicans in power and Trump still having a high approval rating among their constituents.

no, and thats why i think its extremely bad. however, if congress wont do the right thing then it may be necessary to force the hand of congress(assuming that he's done something wrong). that being said, the very next thing that should happen is an absolute house clearing in these agencies to remove anyone involved.

This is kind of "whatever" though, right? The WH press release is basically "yay Exxon for this thing you just put a press release out about, we love you" anyway. It's super lazy, of course, but it's not damning or illegal or immoral like seemingly everything else they do.

no, i think you misunderstand. should trump/et al actually be russian agents and should the ic continue to leak to the press(vice whatever the normal channel is), then eventually congress will be forced to act*. following that, it should be made clear(typically, done by firing, restructuring, and law making) that american intelligence agencies should not be involved in domestic politics.

*in theory. also, assuming that he's not working with the best interests of america in mind.

So fire the only people who had any power to do poo poo about Trump and did it? I mean lofty ideals and all good on you but practically speaking it's not like they threw themselves after Trump before he became a liability to the standing and national security of the USA.

Understanding the nature of the crime is essential in order for crime prevention and law enforcement to work properly, or sometimes at all. There are many horror stories. Just saying it's conspiracy to commit murder and then taking the day off is improper on so many levels.

Brown-shirts have a tendency to propagandize honour killings but that doesn't make it OK to throw victims under the bus.

Your taxes increase a poo poo ton if you make over $75k, so presumably between $75k and something exorbitant you owe a huge amount of tax money that once you're super wealthy isn't a big deal. You get tax credits below $75k, which is basically the GOP trying to suppress the middle class

As any sane person could've told you on the day of the initial controversy, the results were not even close.
