With the major change recently being that they will grab that guy as he's walking his kids out of school instead of waiting for him to be arrested for driving while brown.

Party Plane Jones posted:every day i yell into the void 'stop posting like poo poo' and every day i look into this thread in horror like it's a bathroom at a jack-in-the-box after an e.coli outbreak Perhaps you should start being a touch more specific. Like the other day someone kept posting how mad he was that people weren't talking about a news item, but he wasn't talking about it either. I pointed that out and got a probation that just said "this is bad" but the other person didn't get anything and I'm still not sure how what I did was bad and what he did wasn't. Many probations are just an emote or a one-liner that doesn't say anything useful. I pm'ed you about this but you didn't answer and QCS is a joke forum. I will probably be probated for this.

Yeah our local news covered how they closed lanes and both SD border crossings to basically build fortifications and string concertina wire. There are tens of thousands that live down there and cross to over here every day and it's been that way forever. Now we're turning that entry and the others into a loving Israel/Gaza strip border crossing. It's loving disgusting. And yeah, we need to majorly sweep all this poo poo away post-Trump.

That's...not good for morale, and I wonder if the military might start to turn against Trump. Just from the brief amount of information there, it seems like a lot of seeds of doubt are being sown. Is this the kind of thing that could push Mattis to leave? Seeing chaos in the one thing he cares amount? It just does not come across like he is in control.

What are the specifics of this legislation anyway? It seems unlikely that Trump would actually fire Mueller at this point. The preferred obstruction method is probably to severely but quietly hamstring the scope and/or funding of the investigation, which I assume would be completely allowable even if this passed.

eke out posted:this is also a good point re: the OLC memo - it relies on arguments that are NOT going to work well when conservative judges/justices review it. they could change positions in their theoretical brief, I guess, but this is a core document they'll need to rely on. How about "Appointment ruled illegal in a (4+2+1)-2 plurality decision with separate opinions from the liberal wing, Roberts and Alito, and Thomas with Kavanaugh writing a dissent joined by Gorsuch"?

Yup, you are right. Odds are killing Assad would just cause even more strife and bloodshed because then you get a civil war within a civil war. Assassination NEVER leads to stability. It creates a power vacuum and nature abhors a vacuum.

https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1062722069463425025 And the blue wall of silence descends. Contradicting all witnesses on the scene, the black man that was murdered by a cop inexplicably ignored the twenty-five verbal warnings he definitely received and also he wasn't dressed as a security guard and there definitely wasn't anyone on the scene screaming that he's the security guard. Also they definitely provided immediate medical care and I'm sure whenever some lovely cellphone video surfaces we won't see the victim laying on the ground bleeding to death for ten minutes while the cops yell at the shot and dying man to put his hands up.

With prior engagements, there was at least the guise that they were doing their patriotic duty. Leadership would at least attempt to use flowery language to convey an idea that this was worthwhile and legit. In this case though, Mattis himself is basically saying, "we don't even know the loving point".

This is an excellent analysis of the Ocasio action yesterday and how it ended up being so misunderstood by many https://twitter.com/johnastoehr/status/1062761886796668934 I went and c/p the whole thing so it's easier to read. quote:Something happened at the Capitol Tuesday to reaffirm my long-held view that liberals should stop believing what conservatives say liberals believe. One of the biggest obstacles in the history of American liberalism has been this tendency among liberals to accept as true things liberalism’s enemies say about it and them. Newly elected members of the US Congress arrived for orientation. @Ocasio2018 spoke at a sit-in featuring about 200 people outside Nancy Pelosi’s office. The “protest,” as it was called, was organized by an advocacy group aiming to raise awareness about climate change and to advocate for more green-energy jobs. This was manna to Ocasio-Cortez, who made history as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress after unseating US Rep. Joe Crowley, the former No. 3 in the House Democratic leadership. The 29-year-old Latina has been stumping for liberal candidates across the country, making liberal arguments in unapologetically liberal ways. That she spoke with activists demanding action from leading liberals should have come as no surprise to anyone any time anywhere.

Abolishing our current form of law enforcement/policing does not inherently mean that there would be no other less lovely system that would enforce the laws that would replace it. Of course that's assuming they meant it in the general leftist "abolish the police" sense.
