Al Franken (D-Minn.) what he would do if he learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign. I suppose it depends what your definition of "Russian" is.

VikingSkull posted:This is my biggest issue with the media right now, especially regarding Trump. Everything is an anonymous source and very little in the way of concrete evidence is being offered up. Actual sources would lead to those sources being immediately fired and their corresponding agencies put under even more of a microscope, likely leading to the loss of other sources (be they leakers on the Trump administration or actual intelligence sources). Everything being leaked and published right now is being done so carefully with respect to sources and methods, which is a breath of fresh air when compared to Snowden and Manning.

VikingSkull posted:The thing is they didn't give two shits when it was Snowden and Manning so I still have no reason to believe the media has anything resembling integrity now. Maybe it's because I skew older than most of you guys, I was jaded and cynical years ago and I don't believe a word of what the press or either political party says, I need evidence. You're absolutely justified in being suspicious of all of this and not taking it immediately as the gospel truth. Ultimately, the media is concerned with getting your eyeballs onto their words so they can justify their existence to advertisers and make money. Holding the powers-that-be accountable is secondary to that, and it's sort of a happy coincidence that the two are lining up right now. There's a lot of smoke and no fire right now. Whether that's because there's a lot of people making up bullshit and having it accepted, a lot of people leaking poo poo out of political revenge, or because stirring the pot is the one way to get the public pissed off enough to start forcing Congress (i.e, the one body who can actually do anything about this) to actually do their jobs and investigate remains to be seen. As far as there not being any concrete evidence of anything, consider the following: The House of Representatives has already said they're not going to investigate or hold anyone accountable for any of the Russia stuff so far, and there's nothing to suggest that it's on anything other than a partisan basis. Similarly, the FBI is not providing any answers to any questions that the Democratic members on the House Intelligence Committee have. You can view this in a few lights. A: "Okay, the GOP doesn't want to hold anyone accountable and the FBI under Comey is complicit in this" B: "This is one gigantic pile of nothing and nothing's going to come of it" C: Comedy  option of "Comey's not saying poo poo to anyone because he needs to keep everything tightly under wraps because of who's involved"D: Fill in your own here. There are some people are going to think this is a partisan witch hunt up until there's a literal video involving Trump, Putin, hookers, and piss, and they're likely the same people who are going to unfailingly support Trump. What needs to happen is that these connections to Russia need to be investigated by someone outside of the executive and legislative branch, and currently, the number of Americans supporting investigation into this is growing with each new story. If the Trump administration is actually innocent and can prove that this is a partisan witch hunt, it would be the single greatest advantage Trump could ask for because then there's clear proof that the media/intelligence community/everybody outside of his inner circle and Breitbart are out to get him, and that will sway millions more people than nebulous "A senior official said a thing..." accusations ever will.

The fact that there's no definition of "honor killings" aside from "gender-based violence against women" is troubling, because I guaran-loving-tee that domestic abuse isn't going to pop up on there unless the abuser is <insert non-white race>.

Office Pig posted:Never expect a genuine showing of ethics, morality, or otherwise redeeming human features from congressional republicans. Ever. Ironically, this is the one thing currently saving the country: The GOP representatives are overwhelmingly results of the Tea Party wave, which means they've spent their entire careers saying no to everything. None of them know how to legislate beyond walking away from anything that isn't exactly what they want.

The Iron Rose posted:Everything in that Wikipedia press release shows only that the CIA has their own TAO program, which is... fine? The CIA is an intelligence agency. Their job is to collect intelligence and to spy on foreign powers. The whole point of this is to further delegitimize the intel agencies to the US public, with an added bonus of poking Europe and going "Hey, they spied on you and hosed with your elections, Russia doesn't do that".

Handsome Ralph posted:The funny thing is these idiots (Clarke, Flynn, etc) think Russia likes them and what not because of shared conservative values and genocidal thoughts on Islam. They legitimately don't give a gently caress any more. Russia gives them money and attention, whereas the US laughs at and dismisses them. It would not surprise me at all if they've managed to internalize being marginalized during the Obama years as "this entire country has gone bad, the people like me are the only ones who aren't bad and can save it".

You're probably swapping things around there. The Tea Party and tribal politics is the HIV that's weakened poo poo enough for the ebola strain of Trump to take hold. Ebola is virulent and deadly enough that it can kill faster than it can spread, which is fitting for the administration trying to jam as much bullshit through as fast as possible without any regard to "how".

Hot Karl Marx posted:https://www.buzzfeed.com/alimwatkins/the-people-investigating-russias-role-in-the-election-worry?utm_term=.jgN904nK6#.biaaKzA68 Bear in mind that Flynn's resignation and Session's recusing were all spurred on by a combination of White House leaks and non-classified journalism. An actual investigation by Congress, to say nothing of an independent prosecutor who gets access to any of the juicy classified details? That's going to dig up a whole lot more.

Hot Karl Marx posted:Don't count your chickens before they hatch. We still got 3.75 years I don't want to start putting things into Friedman Units, but let's see how the Republicans deal with a healthcare bill that nobody wants to vote for and would severely hurt large portions of their rural working-class base if it passed. There's rumors that it may trigger another right-ward shift if it fails, simply because the Republicans have banged the "Repeal Obamacare" drum so much that they have to get rid of it if they don't want to be primaried out by frothing lunatics backed by SuperPAC money.

TBeats posted:serious question but how do you shift even more rightward than what they are now without just becoming full fledged nazis? In terms of the American political landscape, you really don't. However, you also have to consider two things: A: Not doing the big thing you said you would do paints a huge target on your back. B: Voting with the Democrats on anything is treason to the Republican base, which leads to the cries of RINO, which leads to being primaried. If the AHCA fails, Republicans are going to lose their minds even more.

Nixon and Bush Senior were the last non-big business Republicans. The EPA would have never flown under Reagan because it's bad for business' bottom lines. Trying to compare the parties of today to the parties of the LBJ/Nixon/Goldwater/McGovern era is like trying to compare Pink Floyd between the Syd Barrett/Roger Waters eras: They're entirely different animals with different focuses and lunatics in charge. Goldwater stirred up enough conservatism within the Republican party to make Nixon look liberal by comparison, and even Goldwater was appalled at how quickly the Republicans embraced the holy roller Jesus warriors and started waging culture wars. The failure of McGovern was the end of liberal politics in the Democratic party until the current era, because that was the catalyst that gave rise to the Democrats being Republican-lite.

Zeris posted:I think their search machines for checked bags are more extensive, whereas with carryon and passengers they're compromising between quicker searching that doesn't enrage passengers or airlines, and deeper searching to match what the latest THREAT ALERTS are saying (ie pat down 50 random grandmas per week). They've done that before. I remember in 2012-ish, airports in the US had signs everywhere that any passengers from Venezuela (or some other South American country) had to be thoroughly rescreened in the US because they couldn't verify that people were being screened. This looks more like a routine "Welp, we can't verify their security systems" thing and I expect that any attempt to fight this in court will go nowhere.
