Ron Jeremy posted:The mormons Ive known have been excellent at compartmentalizing the crazy party of their religion. Decennt people outside of Sundays. This is true of literally any religious person whose last name isn't Phelps (in which case you embrace the crazy instead of compartmentalizing it). All religions everywhere are loving cuckoo bananas in various fun ways In Deuteronomy, The Bible says that if two dudes are fighting and one dude's wife tries to end the fight by grabbing the opponent's dick, then you have to cut off her dick-grabbing hand. At one point in Matthew Jesus is hungry and walks up to a fig tree hoping to find delicious figs but finds out that the tree doesn't have any figs on it, so he gets mad and basically says "gently caress you, fig tree" and the tree instantly loving withers and dies Deuteronomy also says that Heaven has a big sign on it that reads "no eunuchs allowed" Everyone likes to think of Mormons as being the crazy weirdo christians, but really that's just because everyone forgets how weird and hosed up the old and new testaments are. Every religion has its weird stories QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Oct 2, 2016 |

Covok posted:The saddest moment in Julian's life will be when the throw him out...and nothing happens. That the narrative that all the world governments were after him were just a delusion. And then he just has to go back to normal life. Well, he'd probably wind up in Swedish prison for the rape charge. That actually sounds like a step up from being trapped in the London Ecuadorian embassy but for that to happen his delusions of grandeur would also shatter Part of me wishes that Assange just opened with galtse and then wished everyone a good night

Lightning Knight posted:I have no clue, I was just spitballing. The props not being allowed thing is also a good reason. Reminder that Trump is just as old and feeble as McCain was when he ran. Trump is also a lot fatter, making it more likely that he'd die while in office. VP debates still don't matter much, though

Captain Fargle posted:Unless you're The New York Post (I think that's the correct paper. Might be New York Times?) then they take your story, publish it, get mad credit for publishing it and then call for your indictment. Just like they did for Snowden. I was actually on board with that, because the logic made sense. The story on NSA surveillance was big and they were happy to publish that, but Snowden also stole a shitload of unrelated classified documents and absconded with them to China and Russia. No one ever seems to remember that part. You can praise a guy for doing one thing that you think is good and condemn him for doing another that you think is bad, there's nothing wrong with that

Dude twice in a row Trump was asked point-blank at what point his behavior changed from what was shown on the most recent tape, and both times he very noticeably avoided answering the question. Right then and there I knew that he was hosed, it basically cemented the tapes as a HUGE loving PROBLEM in the minds of everyone who's not a 4chan poster

Ron Jeremy posted:I listened to it on the radio so maybe I have the Nixon Kennedy perspective on it. I thought he did ok pressing his points at first. The tone of his voice sounded calm and reasonable, but about halfway in he seemed to come off the rails again and his New York accent came in much more pronounced. He sounded like a used car salesman. I thought that the veto power line worked well to that effect

Andrast posted:Can they even legally give that kind of assurance in Sweden, especially since the US hasn't even requested it. No, they can't, and the refusal described exactly why Swedish prosecutors can't legally grant preemptive extradition immunity The Insect Court posted:Yeah, I'm not quite sure why anybody thinks the Obama(or a Clinton) administration wouldn't have done everything they could to put Assange in some supermax solitary cell for the next several hundred years. Manning got the biggest sentence in the history of the Espionage Act, they clearly would have tried to outdo themselves with Assange. Manning had access to classified information and then leaked a shitload of it while serving in the military. Assange is a civilian who just published what he was given and was never under any obligation to protect US classified documents. Even if he were ever charged under the Espionage Act, there's a very good chance that he'd never serve any time. There's even legal precedence for this; the New York Times won a legal challenge to publish government secrets back in the 70s, and as recent as 2009 two lobbyists had Espionage Act charges dropped. So no, it's unlikely that the US is going to put much effort into charging or prosecuting Assange, because even if they did the dude would probably walk free. Although there's one caveat to this: if there's evidence that Assange goaded Manning then they could probably convict him for conspiracy.

It's illegal to extradite someone to a country where there is a reasonable expectation they could face torture, which is the case with Assange.

With all of the legal precedent regarding publishers of classified documents being basically immune to US prosecution, regardless of whether or not they're US citizens, it's extremely likely that Assange has nothing to worry about from the US government. People who leak secrets are the ones who get hosed, not the people who publish them

Because it's plainly loving ridiculous that only a handful of states matter. And it doesn't look to me like it would benefit one party over the other (the way weekend voting would benefit the Democrats, say) so I don't see why there'd be a partisan deadlock about it. this sounds like AN ATTACK ON THE CONSTITUTION AND OUR FOUNDING FATHERS I don't think anyone in mainstream politics is really interested in that. You'd basically have to pass and ratify an amendment and good luck doing that in today's political climate

I feel like the thread has been middling at best on Clinton's foreign policy. I think that the general consensus among Sanders supporters is "she's less progressive than I like, and I disagree with her positions on X and Y, but she's still good overall" Can you point to someone in this thread attacking you over valid criticism? Obviously there are people out there who would do that, I just haven't run into them and I'm not convinced that they're all that common

Bushiz posted:Stacks is an idiot and I'm voting for her, but this thread, and a large swath of the Internet, does have a tendency to go completely ballistic when you suggest Hillary is an imperfect candidate. It happens less now that the Orange Ball of Hate is dominating the news cycle but there was a time in primary season where various people would speak both about how Hillary was the only candidate moderate enough to beat trump and simultaneously more progressive than Sanders. Can you quote someone in the thread doing this? I don't often read the USPOL thread because it moves so quickly, but I haven't actually seen someone go ballistic over legit Clinton criticism. Like if someone says they want minimum wage to be higher than Clinton's proposal, is there a freakout?

It's like a country bumpkin KKK member having a name of "Cornelius Alfonse III"
