We should take action of the half of the solution that won't be fought against tooth and nail by the NRA et al. If the GOP votes against that too, then they are truly Those Fuckers.

I can't really imagine the GOP objecting to a modest expansion to health care.

I don't remember a particular GOTV public app but both campaigns in 2012 had apps with similar goals. The DNC's worked a LOT better than the RNCs. I think it was called ORCA? I'll look it up

Orca was the GOP one, the dem one was Narwhal.

Father of the shooter says its ridiculous that his son was able to legally stockpile 13 different weapons and if he hadn't been able to, this wouldn't have happened at all.

According to the comments that guy is a crisis actor. Wheeee.

Edit: Argh, beaten.

We're still in the stage of things where a bunch of really furious and tense people are writing, reading, and digesting a series of vaguely panicked after action reports. Once that happens we will know more about where this falls on the spectrum from "tragic accident that should never have happened" to "flippant disregard for laws of war." Immediately jumping to "kill all the bloodthirsty baby eating soldiers" seems like gilding the lily a bit. Someone, likely multiple someones, hosed up. Hopefully we can figure out who and how and what degree of flippant disregard for civilian casualties there was.

What's the lily here? Dead doctors?

e: Hey Toyota, why do 10 out of 10 Mujahideen fireteams ask for the Hilux by name?

(Seriously Hiluxes have been right up there with hummers, blazers, and escalades as far as "vehicles invariably driven by dangerous pieces of garbage" for like 30 years because they're drat near indestructible)

This article is written in such a way that seems to imply that the author and "US officials" aren't aware that consumer pickups in general and the highlux in particular have been the vehicle of choice of irregular armies on multiple continents for, like, 40 years. I mean there's an African war named after them.

Am I misremembering or wasn't the Senate and House controlled by the Democrats in 2008 and 2010 was when it started going down hill. Meaning Obama could have put through what legislation he needed.

Democrats are basically idiots.

Something something Lieberman.

From this we are able to determine the volume and circumference so it's not like it's useless info

You mean area right?

I suppose it could be a sphere.

I feel like I'm getting unfairly screwed here. All we get is the hosed up, lovely parts of Shadowrun with corporations becoming their own government and writing more profitable laws that countries have to follow. I want a dragon for president dammit, not binding arbitration that can be boiled down to "gently caress you, got mine....and now yours".

Yes, cyberpunk became reality. But only the bad parts of cyberpunk.
