It really is amazing that Ted Cruz can be so disliked by so many people simultaneously and still go home at night and feel good about himself. I don't personally know a single Republican that likes him either.

Is the director position a management position or do you need to actually know what the hell you're doing.? What I'm getting at is, does some jerk who got a management degree as qualified to be the FBI director as a former Investigator/FBI Agent/Lawyer/Counter-Intel guy?

psydude posted:It was an editorial piece. This does and doesn't matter. There's no hard rule against this. But any reputable newspaper should be aware of how bad they look when they publish anything, even op/eds, by someone who is paid to have that opinion. It makes the newspaper look like they got played because they're too stupid to properly verify a contributor isn't being influenced, or it makes the paper look lovely because they didn't care to check. Since the Washington Post is making its latest name on anti-corruption, clarity in government, calling a spade a spade, etc. this makes it look very dumb. On the other hand, NYT does the same thing to a certain extent. A lot of nonprofits and lobbying groups will support writers of op/eds and try to get them into well-known papers. They usually go through the front door, though, and disclose the exact affiliation within the op/ed itself. That's actually an example of a newspaper fulfilling a civic duty, with respect to the notion that an opinion is at least worth hearing out if there's a lot of resources and/or believers in it. Sneaking it in looks pretty dumb. But nobody reads the corrections, so it's already over with. Zeris fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 24, 2017 |

Saw a tweet about it that said the updated score will differ from the original with higher costs for the bill itself, lower insurance costs, and lower number of uninsured. I'm not sure how the third part is true, but we'll see.

I'm pretty sure that's just people getting shittier coverage for less if it's true. Like sure it costs less and some more people can afford it but it covers less.

https://twitter.com/ktumulty/status/867464092289839104 Dubious Russian document basically said that Attorney General Lynch was in the tank for Hillary and would kill the email investigation or make sure it didn't go too far. FBI saw that unverifiable document, knew it was unverifiable, and used it as a contributor to leapfrog Lynch, leading to the initial Comey press conference. Comey was worried that document would leak out if he never had the presser and undermine all the investigatory work.

Wasabi the J posted:He's bombing his own goddamn cities because of like, a handful of whacks. I should clarify this - I condemn Duterte and his very existence, and pretty much everything he has done in his presidency. I don't condemn him for calling for martial law. I condemn him bombing his own cities, I condemn the death squads, I condemn extrajudicial executions, etc... Duterte absolutely deserves condemnation. But declaring martial law under this as a reason - posted:Duterte declared martial rule for 60 days in the entire southern Mindanao region, the restive third of the Philippine archipelago, Tuesday evening to try to crush Muslim extremists who have aligned themselves with the Islamic State group and occupied a hospital, jail and other buildings and battled troops in an audacious attack in Marawi City. I'm not gonna argue. Bombing the whole cities, well, that's another issue. Anyways, I think we can both agree that an extrajudicial execution squad hitting him isn't necessarily the worst thing for the Philippines.

Perpetually shameful waste-of-existence Andrew Cuomo continues to gobble down all of the poo poo by pushing to close a Veterans Service Agency office in Putnam County, NY, for the umpteenth time, because the measly few dollars it costs to help a bunch of old vets meet with a VSO are more important elsewhere in the state budget.Karl Rohde, director, Putnam County Veterans Service Agency posted:In 1991, Governor Mario Cuomo attempted to reduce his New York State budget by cutting services to the Veterans of Putnam County. Today, the legacy continues as his son and current NYS Governor, Andrew Cuomo, attempts a similar strategy.

The Phillipines doesn't have any B-52s, but they have some AS-211s, SF-260s and OV-10s. This press release says two planes dropped several bombs on the outskirts of Marawi yesterday, but more sites are reporting that as of today, air strikes have been ruled out.
