How are GOP leaders getting away with saying refugees aren't being vetted and that we need to enact stronger measures to keep out terrorists? Are they betting on people literally not knowing anything about the refugee resettlement process (ie that it is already the most stringently vetted migration process we have) and will not even do the most basic of fact-checking?

Tempest_56 posted:Because they know people literally don't know anything about the refugee resettlement process and don't do even the most basic of fact-checking. A significant portion of Americans believe that being a refugee means that someone shows up in a boat on the shore, is given a green card and is given a house/medical care/a secure job/stacks of raw cash. This is something people actually believe, and I have heard from the mouths of otherwise sensible human beings. drat it, this is child's play level stuff. It's not like Watergate or the Pentagon Papers here. Politicians could literally say grass is purple and the sky is red and the media still wouldn't call them out and people still wouldn't fact check.  I'm not new to this stuff, it just continues to amaze me when I think we've hit rock bottom already. Teriyaki Koinku fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Dec 1, 2015 |

I dunno, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and say the image is meant to emphasize Parks starting from the back of the bus but then moving forward along the arrow. The emphasis is on the physically moving forward part, which is what the anniversary is all about. I don't think it's as bad as you all are making it out to be.

FAUXTON posted:How detailed do you want? This is a snake whose head is in the present and whose tail is a couple centuries in the past. The end of reconstruction brought a violent reprisal and a spiteful return of as much of the prior social order as could be had with slavery being outlawed. They could no longer own people, but they have ever since been bound and determined to keep their prior possessions (and the descendants thereof) from enjoying full participation and equal treatment in society. Nearly every racial advancement (especially prior to the 70s) has been over dead bodies and beaten ideologues of the south, and this is just another rear-guard attempt by the same poisonous filth that shelled fort sumter 151 years ago. They know they likely won't face consequences from the legal system or reciprocity from the peers of their victims, and they act accordingly. Hypothetically, if the Union and the Confederacy remained split as two separate countries to this day, would their relationship to each other be like India and Pakistan's today (ie highly poisonous and antagonistic)?

SubponticatePoster posted:Sandy Hook happened and not a loving thing got done. Let me reiterate that: some crazy motherfrucker murdered children and not a goddamn thing happened. So no. Well, some people were advocating for doubling down on bullet proof vests for students and concealed carry for adults, so there's that. With all these shootings and and people helpless to do anything about it, you'd think we were in Burundi, not a country number one in GDP in the world.

pathetic little tramp posted:If it helps, it may not have had anything to do with disabled kids - apparently there was an outside group renting space at the facility today and that seems to be where the shooting took place. I've known people personally who, in hushed tones, wished for the death and purging of the mentally disabled for being a waste of resources. I can't say I'm surprised.

So we're televising mass shootings weekly now. When do we get to televise mass shootings daily? Or on a 24/7 pay-per-view channel? [e]: It doesn't have to be ISIS shooting up the mentally disabled guys. There are people who genuinely despise the disabled, I am not yanking your chain.

Heard Obama responding to the San Bernadino shooting on NPR. He just sounds so totally exhausted and dead inside trying to make a statement. "These shootings are unparalleled in any other country on earth. They should be rare, not normal."  Also the NPR reporter saying it's just totally impossible to prevent these kinds of shootings from happening. gently caress. Teriyaki Koinku fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Republicans posted:In a way that leaves me felling kinda sad and gross it's almost comforting to know these kinds of events don't even make people bat a loving eye anymore and significant hay won't be made from this come election time because nobody cares. I'm trying to imagine what would at this point. I'm thinking something like a mass shooter on top of an SUV swinging a decapitated head at the end of steel chain like an around the world yo-yo, splattering blood on bystanders while hooping and hollering like Major Kong at the end of Dr. Strangelove.
