Boehner's just a dupe. A patsy. Netanyahu should think about backing his shit up

The hordes of people from all over who suddenly read the New York Times and have posted exultantly about the Times' article on the DOJ findings in Ferguson truly make me weep for America.

Strangely, I did not spot all that many posters from Ferguson, let alone many from there rejoicing that someone was shot multiple times, to death, by one of their police officers. I suppose that kind of thing goes over big in wherever the fuck those creepy psychos are all from.

Is this shit for real? Siding with a foreign government against our president (that is itself using this for political ends to get re-elected) when we are trying to prevent nuclear proliferation?



It's not the first time the GOP has deliberately sided with warmongers and other assholes in order to score political points. I think the israeli PM is a piece of shit, so it's no surprising to me that Boner is a fan. Find someone who supports war and conflict and the GOP will almost always like him. Find someone who makes the average person's life more difficult and the GOP is happy to lend a hand. Find someone who hates rights for women, people of color, and non-christians, and the GOP will cut them a check. It's like they go out of their ways to support every asshole they can.

It's amazing what has happened to that party in just a few decades. Sometimes I can't believe I used to vote republican, but then I remember how much the party has changed. The party has succumbed to madness.

By the way, if dems pulled a stunt like this, attempting to destabilized serious non-proliferation talks with Iran to score political points for themselves and for a foreign leader, there would be serious talk about treason.

Harry Reid is going to have surgery on his eye to try to save his vision. This all stems from that accident with the resistance band snapping.

Hope it wasn't your gear, TCC

Someone should point out that Israel has more or less driven out Christians from the Holy Land. They'll accept tourist dollars of course from visitors from the US, but Palestinian Christians aren't treated any better than Palestinian Muslims.

can't find whose band or type of band it was but I did find an article that gave some major clues

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... erica.html


based on the description of how he was using it and the color of the band (grey being the second strongest level), leads me to believe it is my main competitor's therapy band TheraBand silver level

also based on the description, it sounds as if he was using it for way past the date that you should (latex is a natural product that degrades over time)

What happened next, as the confrontation moved into the street, is in dispute. While some witnesses were adamant that Mr. Brown had his hands up, some recanted their stories. Mr. Wilson testified that Mr. Brown had charged at him, and other witnesses backed up his account.


by "other witnesses" they mean "one witness that was later proven to be a crazy fraud". Great, balanced reporting by the Times. A dingle-berry cherry on top of the shit sundae the media has served us with their coverage of Ferguson.

Yemeni president Abed Hdi 'resigned' today (his chie of staff was being held hostage). This after the former president Ali Saleh was thrown out in 2012.

PM Khaled Baha resigned protesting the rebels' behavior. The fight against Al Queada rages on in Yemen, and it's not exactly going so hot right now from what I can tell.

Ethics Commission got him (the one that Cuomo made go away). What a fraud. He had a dummy job at a law firm and used that and his position to broker deals.

Cuomo is in a bad spot here. Maybe he's lickety-split clean, but I doubt it.

YOU could stack the evidence that Rush Limbaugh is a clueless fat fuck as high as he is fat*, and you couldn't get the mouthbreathers to turn off their radios

*well, no, you probably couldn't stack it that high because while there's more than enough stuff, it would take too long
