Speaking of TURKEYS, could the US possibly go to war with said country in the future provided Erdogan becomes as dickish as Assad or Putin?

Erdogan could pave the highways with Kurdish skulls and Turkey would still remain in NATO

.....But why?

Now with the (fourth?) republican debate over, what can we gather from it candidate-wise? Could Trump lose the nomination? And if he does, would he run as a third-party candidate?

Republicans to court: "Invalidate net neutrality because we tried to pass a law restricting it, thus proving we never intended to let the FCC do so in 1996." Using legislative history to justify a court decision? IOKIYAR.

Meanwhile, Chuck Grassley is blocking State Department nominees until they admit Hillary Clinton was a doo-doo head.

I take it the former should not be able to pass such a bill through congress...right?

Is he repeatedly annoying her on facebook?

Its official. The French terrorist attacks have driven this thread insane.

Should I be worried that the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement has recently been drafted and may or may not become law?

Luckily, there's a thread just for this topic! http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3725584&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=13

If you don't want to read that thread (hint: don't read that thread), it appears that the initial leaks were at least somewhat overblown or offbase. Past that, it's a bigass document and there's still a substantial period of time before it comes up for a vote.

EFF appears to dislike it, but while I respect the work they do, asking their opinion on this is like asking Lindsay Graham about an invasion or Donald Trump about a young Eastern European woman. There are some elements that are likely to have slight negative impact to the US. Early reports are a mixed bag for other signatories. Not surprisingly, given the intent of the pact, China gets hosed.

If it helps, everyone involved says that it was horrible timing and a horrible angle on the photo. Apparently, the attacker was swinging the flag at his target rather than trying to impale him.

(I don't think that makes it much less horrible?)

I mostly worried about the copyright implications that could stifle the japanese media industries.

Should I be concerned over the ISIS threat video to NYC?

The Senate has concluded all pre-Thanksgiving voting. The last recorded vote was on Peter William Bodde to become Ambassador to Libya, which was 95-0. He was nominated for the position 135 days ago.

Is the House starting to crack at the seams under Ryan's tenure juuust yet?

(Actually that's a silly question, they've "passed a bill that tightens restrictions on the resettlement of Syrian and Iraqi refugees, amid security concerns.")
