Yeah but...that's true about everything though. You don't HAVE to go to the so-called "store" to buy meat and veg: drive to a local farm. Hell all cities have a local farmer's market. As someone who has recently gotten into recreational weed I'll happily pay a few bucks extra for the convenience of a store front with quality control and the ability to just Google where to go.

In my head that guy capitalized the "ET" in "Et tu" because he legitimately thinks the phrase somehow involves E.T.

Q is running a pretty complicated scam.

So someone somewhere posts nonsense somewhere on the internet ("T[h]ey better 12 aware fortunate SIN devide the room") and signs his posts "Q". People then either extrapolate what they want ("'Devide' is a purposeful misspelling that refers to PrEsidEnt Trump who is surrounded by SIN...") or backtrapolates from events that already happened ("the 12 clearly refers to the train crash last week, there were 12 cars involved...") and people are tripping over themselves to be part of the "Q Society" that divines the future from his secret coded inside knowledge?

But how is "Q" making money of this?

I think the human sacrifices stuff is an extrapolation from the "spirit cooking".

For those who don't recall the whole story, performance artist Marina Abramovic does home cooking art events that Tony Podesta got invited to called "Spirit Cooking". She published a cookbook accompaniment with recipes that involve semen and breast milk, but she's said that her events don't include these. Tony forwarded an invitation to John that he didn't reply to, and because John Podesta exists somewhere in proximity to the conversation it got linked to Hillary Clinton by proxy. The crazy people then extrapolated that spirit cooking involves human sacrifice and went from there.

No matter how many times a picture of Trump with some scumbag pops up they NEVER seem to grasp the concept that politicians, by definition, know and are seen with lots and lots of people so a picture of Hated Politician A next to ScumBag B will ALWAYS mean that HPA LOVES, agrees with, and is permanently attached at the hip to SBB and all of their friends relatives and anyone they've ever taken a picture with or been rumored to hang out with. Meanwhile their politicians are "just taking pictures with random people" no matter how long that "random person" has been staying in their guest house.

Unless President Trump is going to use the meeting to show Mueller what goods he has on him, then yeah this can’t be a good idea.

And under oath? He should insist on the same treat HRC got — no oath, no recordings, no notes.

I don't know why this bugs me but I want to point out that NO ONE "took great risks" to recover Bergdahl. After he deserted there was a general "Oh and keep your eyes open for" order placed on every mission but there were no rescue missions or searches specifically for him. He was captured and negotiations took place.

Monterey County issues formal apology to Japanese American community for World War II internment
America was and is better than Imperial Japan. We have the Constitution. We don’t put American citizens in camps. Hawaii which was attacked by the Japanese did not intern any of its citizen regardless of ancestry. My only point it the original post was that the current folks of Japanese heritage are making a mistake hooking their wagon to the open border crowd. In one case America imprisoned its own citizens in the other case America is defending itself against a wave of non citizens.

Like...what? Then what is this specific thread about? Also yes, Hawaii absolutely had camps too.

And I love the use of the word "heritage" as if it is some sort of long ago event and their ancestors should just get over it already. Jesus these people all suck. They should be put into some sort of cam-oh my god!!

A democrat rep created a serious actual bill to do this the minute Obama got elected the first time. I signed the petition entirely BFYTW

Rep. Serrano has introduced the very same proposal to Congress every two years since 1997 (a total of nine times), regardless of which party was currently occupying the White House and starting well before Barack Obama became involved in national politics. On the first two occasions (in 1997 and 1999) the incumbent president was a Democrat (Bill Clinton); the next four occasions (2001, 2003, 2005, and again in 2007), were after the election of a Republican (George W. Bush). Rep. Serrano’s 2013 bill is the third time he has proposed that same legislation to Congress since the election of Barack Obama, following similar efforts in 2009 and 2011.

Likewise, another Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, introduced a similar proposal six times in recent years, also regardless of which party was currently occupying the White House. Hoyer introduced such proposals in 1995, 1997, and 1999 (all during the presidency of Bill Clinton), and again in 2001, 2003, and 2005 (all during the presidency of George W. Bush).

TL:DR: there are one or two Democrats that intro a bill saying this every couple of years just to highlight what a bad idea it is.
