STAC Goat posted:Wait, what was Hannity "right" about with Trayvon Martin? That he was jacked up on purple drink and the guy who's been arrested like 3 more times for violent interactions with a gun was just a concerned citizen who was attacked? Trayvon Martin was demonstrably, undeniably, irrefutably, irretrievably, incontrovertibly, and with absolute certainty black. And his murderer was not.

Zil posted:Don't we also get the CBO report tomorrow morning for the ACHA? Because I don't see how they will sell all these cuts to social programs along with increasing health care costs for those who will be able to afford insurance. Judging from this story about their current ad campaign they probably just won't. Or spend as little time as possible before quickly trying to get back to talking about their mythical version of the ACA.

Taerkar posted:I cannot help but suspect that the whole Manchester bombing leak issue was done intentionally by the administration or at least someone in it to feed the "The real crimes are the leaks" message. Yeah, because Trump and his people have shown real foresight about these kinds of things in the past. They leaked because everything there leaks. It's probably a safer bet that some individual either did it because that's what they do now, or they did it because they think ISLAMIC TERROR helps them and they couldn't wait for the Brits to move forward.

NikkolasKing posted:Wait, what do you mean here? Why would a White Supremacist get mad about what happened to the Branch Davidians? They were a kooky Christian cult but I don't think race had anything to do with it. I've seen a black survivor of the group on an interview show. Because the ATF(edit: brain fart with Ruby Ridge) were the ones doing the sieging. It has nothing to do with who the Branch Davidians actually were. poo poo it's not even about the actual siege so much as the myth of the siege. edit: Anyways, I'd go out on a limb and say most militia types or really most of anyone don't know much about the Branch Davidians. I know the general tone I got from my uncle on this poo poo amounts to thinking they're just sort of weird isolationist Christians who liked guns, and not a doomsday cult way into sexual abuse. poo poo just sort of gets glossed over.

mcmagic posted:That seems open to interpretation. The way it is worded does seem to cover plain incompetence. Is "unable to discharge" not "is really bad at doing it." Which is why the president can counter that they have "no inability" because it's about health, mental or physical, and not really about job performance. It would have to be one hell of an interpretive dance to justify invoking the 25th because he isn't very good at presidenting. Dude's already making GBS threads all over the emoluments clause, there's no reason to stretch amendments to mean something they pretty plainly don't.

I think they haven't subpoenaed Cohen yet, but the House Intelligence Committee still has Nunes hanging around so I wouldn't expect much out of Cohen until the Senate committee issues one.

Vegetable posted:Is there any legal problem with Comey leaking his memo? Did we hear him say it was declassified? He said many of those memos were unclassified to begin with, but that he does not personally have them anymore. It's up to Mueller or any journalists who still possess them. There are no legal problems with the leak because they were not classified and he was acting as a private citizen passing on his own recollections and writeups.

There's a difference between "pity the poor racist" and "hey maybe let's not shoot people who are in congress." Unless you're advocating the start of a serious civil war, shooting any congress person needs to be treated as some serious poo poo. Now when people start advocating a gofundme for the guy, that's when you should get on to people. TGLT fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Jun 14, 2017 |

With the aid of Satan, the accursed one, I predict that if it's a conservative they will first say "uhh that's not what Kellyanne said" and run with that for a while. Then they will shift to saying it was mental illness publicly while saying it was a false flag privately.

If this is in fact the shooter then the dude was a berniebro. The amount of planning and effort it would take to cultivate some perfect liberal facebook to use in a false flag attack to bring about the orange reich is literally unbelievable. At most, this turns out to be a case of mistaken identity.
