The SG was part of that very public dinner w/ Sessions and Rosenstein last month. Seemed like that was a statement that he was in lockstep with them (though who knows what Sessions would have done by now if he wasn't recused)

if this was a civil lawsuit, which this tweet suggests, that can be reversed on appeal and probably will be. if it's a criminal trial, then great they're home free.,

In the meantime, I hope this ruling means we have a civic duty to throw molotov cocktails at lifted diesel trucks that have been tuned to belch out black smoke everywhere.

Is there really that much call to defend why you're not watching South Park in 2018? Am I just old and all my friends have outgrown it with me? Like I know one or two people who still kind of watch and occasionally mention it but its not something they feel like evangelizing for.

i'm frankly still suspecting this might be a misrepresentation or misunderstanding

fake edit:

“At the end, she said they were all not responsible by reason of legal necessity,” she said. She said the group had an audio recording of the hearing which it intended to post online.

Neither Ms Driscoll or the court clerk was available for comment. However, one member of the court’s staff who asked not to be named, told The Independent the judge had found them not responsible. The person denied, however, that the judge had made the ruling on the grounds of legal necessity.

This is important because legal necessity re: climate change being a defense to charges of ecoterrorism property damage would be, in the words of our last legitimate vice president, a big loving deal.

Libertarians are Republicans who want to seem more intellectual. The Volokh Conspiracy, blog full of people claiming to be libertarian, is the best example of that and how fast their opinions on something depending on Republican versus Democrat. My favorite was that the Volokh guys claimed in 2016 that Obama proclaiming May to be Jewish Heritage Month was anti-Semitic an then in 2017 saying that it wasn't a problem that Trump was surrounding himself with a bunch of anti-Semites because antisemitism just isn't a big deal in this country.

Libertarians are thoughtful, intellectual, principled individuals who just so happen to always side with republican policies even if they directly contradict something they said a year before.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:

Bibi is garbage but is he that much worse than the awful people who were leading Israel before him? Did he make a real impact in how poo poo the Palestinians are treated or just let things continue to gradually get worse and worse?

Basically what I’m saying is that Israel was and is awful and will probably always be awful. But I don’t know the details.

Pages back. Bibi and his right wing contingent are staunchly anti-Palestine/anti-peace process, but just like any democracy this doesn't really reflect Israel as a whole. I know it is easy to lump an entire country in with the prime ministers policies, but remember that a country like Israel depends on coalition governments and Bibi usually forms those coalitions with the ultra-religious arsehole parties.
The labour movement in the late 90's was very pro-peace policy but that fell apart. Yitchak Rabin was assassinated by a religious fanatic because he was *gosh* actually speaking with the PLO about forming a peace policy. Not everyone who has lead Israel has been a bloodthirsty monster. Hell even Ariel Sharon realized that being a hawkish shithead was a deadend street. Bibi on the other hand can go get hosed by a giant iron spike.

From what I've seen its just a mutual admiration victim complex. They both think they're the victims of unfair liberal criticism so they bond over that and the rest can all be brushed past as a consequence of it.

Edit: Actually after watching Tucker Carlson's commentary on the Roger Stone documentary I no longer thing Tucker believes that. He just seems to subscribe by the "morality is meaningless, politics ain't ballet, anything goes" philosophy. Which means Greenwald is probably the real patsy in this relationship.

Assuming you're talking about people on the left I think Tucker's still relatively "new" enough that they don't realize what trash he is and how he's going to just laugh over them. They probably think they can actually get in there and make some important points and maybe reach a new audience. Its dumb but its probably a virtue to not give up hope that you can reach someone.

But that's not what Greenwald is doing. Its pretty clear he thinks he has mutual ground with Tucker and they've bonded.

They always said they hated liberals more.

I mean this is a show that had multiple episodes making fun of Al Gore for trying to educate people about global warming, another about people being smug for driving hybrid cars, etc. I haven't watched in some years now but I know there are others I forget. They also pretty much refused to make Bush jokes during the time where everyone else was doing it.
