How is This American Life these days? It's not a broad topic deal, but if you have an interest in crime, local government, and how those two can get intertwined, Crimetown's first season covers Buddy Cianci, former mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, and the mafia activity surrounding his administration. edit: Also in the same vein, In the Dark is a podcast about the Jacob Wetterling case and, more specifically, how and why small town police departments(read: elected sheriffs) can completely gently caress up cases like this.

I think I saw someone wondering if Paul's "two bills" plan was going to get any traction. It's not, because they only have one filibuster-proof bill.

Sorry, Providence. Still waking up. Also Rhode Island is a tiny baby state for tiny babies, and should probably be annexed by a real state.

Trump is still able to slap around his appointees and have them thank him for it. lol quote:Acting Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Thomas D. Homan: We estimate that the number of illegal immigrants in the United States last year was between 11 and 12 million. Net migration into the United States has been limited the past few years and we have stepped up our efforts to deport individuals residing in the country unlawfully. For these two reasons, we expect the estimated figures for 2017 to be approximately the same despite population growth. quote:President Donald J. Trump: Honestly we've been hearing that number for years. It's always 11 million. Our government has no idea. The real figure is closer to 30 million. Many studies, many studies have proven this. quote:Reporter: What about the 30 million figure?

vaginite posted:Breitbart, Fox, Rush and etc. havent ever retracted anything and therefore are upstanding, reliable sources of information This entire situation is made more hilarious by Fox, JUST LIKE A MONTH AGO, getting egg on it's face for that "Seth Rich was definitely a hit job" story that turned out to be based on nothing. They quietly retracted it while their prime-time-agitprop-klaxon, Sean Hannity, continued beating it into a pulp before being forced, likely under threat of firing, to loving knock it off already. The original story author is still employed by Fox. Sean Hannity somehow still has a job. CNN retracted their story swiftly once it was proven to be incorrect and the journalists responsible for it no longer have jobs. This is a model of responsible journalism. Meanwhile, a CNN medical producer is caught on camera voicing his private opinion about the Russia investigation and that's run up the flagpole like some kind of smoking gun that CNN's private crusade to pin collusion on the President should come to a close. Even though, the people at CNN are just covering an investigation that is ongoing. No one but Trump's campaign and Russian intelligence knows what transpired during the 2016 election. Maybe there was no collusion. We don't loving know. The DRIVER of everyone's continued curiosity has been Trump's very public appearance of wanting the investigation stopped, and again, CNN is just covering a story. The opinions of an employee (that doesn't even work the political beat) are completely irrelevant. Project Veritas is a dubious name, as the rear end in a top hat running it only seems to produce carefully constructed narratives to prop up a hilariously long-shot conclusions. I hate the right-wing dipshits who eat this crap up. Chilichimp fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Jun 29, 2017 |

Sometimes I wonder if Trump is a longterm PR damage control gambit for the GOP. Elevate him to prez, get all their policy crap done, pin all the bad stuff on him, become beloved like in the days of Reagan.

If so it's an incredibly bad plan more likely to backfire than to work. Knowing Republicans this is probably true.
