If there is anything bipartisan we can all agree it on, it should be that Bob Menendez sucks.

The nations that are the hardest on proliferation are usually the nations that already have a bomb. Sorry, but I side with Iran here. I don't trust the hardliners in Israel not to sell a device to someone who would use it on Iran anymore than I trust the Iranians not to sell it to someone who might use it in Israel. What has Israel done to be trusted? They sure act like a nation that is paranoid and aggressive, which is a terrible combination. Their treatment of the Palestinians is a slow motion "bomb." We're so worried about the Iran's humanity, where is Israel's? I'm personally tired of spending blood and money to defend these assholes. Too bad they have half our government bought off. Yeah AIPAC!

Bob Menendez is obnoxious, and I'd like for him to go to jail, but the speech is readable and clear in why the deal is bad.

Investigations in Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas are still pending but are unlikely to find any wrongdoing since they either don't participate in a donation program or don't even do abortions in those states (Louisiana, for example).

There was a good editorial in the New York Times about this nonsense a few weeks ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/22/opini ... .html?_r=0

Ben Carson is trippingover himself trying to explain away him doing something legal when he was a surgeon:

“Well first of all the claim that I’m doing fetal research, which is absolutely absurd,” Carson stated on the Heidi Harris Show last week. “I’m the surgeon, I obtained the tissue, I turn it over to the pathologist, and then they examine it, compare it with other specimens and try to get more information of where it came from.”

“It’s sort of like if you’re doing an archeological dig and you found a tablet with some strange writing on it. I’m sort of the archaeologist who found it,” continued Carson. “I turn it over and say ‘you guys, see if you can figure out where this came from. And they go back to all their archives, and all the things that they’ve had before, and they compare it and say, ‘oh you know, it’s sort of like it came from this are over here or Mesopotamia or something.’”

Wait, so he obtained the fetal tissue himself? meaning...BEN CARSON HAS DONE A CRIME AGAINST GOD BY PERFORMING ABORTIONS!!!!

Also, great analogy.

California is not doing so hot with their Clean Energy Jobs thingie

The State Energy Commission, which oversees Proposition 39 spending, could not provide any data about completed projects or calculate energy savings because schools are not required to report the results for up to 15 months after completion, spokeswoman Amber Beck said.

Still, she said she believes the program is on track.

Not enough data has been collected for the nine-member oversight board of professors, engineers and climate experts to meet, she said.

The AP's review of state and local records found that not one project for which the state allocated $12.6 million has been completed in the Los Angeles Unified School District, which has nearly 1,000 schools. Two schools were scheduled this summer to receive lighting retrofits and heating and cooling upgrades, but no construction work has been done on either site, LAUSD spokeswoman Barbara Jones said.

god dammit you idiots

The proposition is also bringing in millions less each year than initially projected. Proponents such as de Leon and billionaire investor and philanthropist Tom Steyer, who funded the ballot measure with a personal $30 million, told voters in 2012 that it would send up to $550 million annually to the Clean Jobs Energy Fund. But it brought in just $381 million in 2013, $279 million in 2014 and $313 million in 2015.

There's no exact way to track how corporations reacted to the tax code change, but it's likely most companies adapted to minimize their tax burdens, nonpartisan legislative analyst Ken Kapphahn said. He also said the change applies to a very small number of corporations.

nooooo

last one, I promise. Too good to pass up, Jebby when asked his thoughts on BIRTHRIGHT CITIENSHIP!!!!

"There are like 10 things I would change in the Constitution with a magic wand," Bush said. "But in the interim, we've got to control the border, we've got to enforce the rule of law, we've got to deal with extended stays on legal visas, we've got to have an e-Verify system that's verifiable, we've got to deal with sanctuary cities, we've got to forward-lean on the border. There's practical things that we can do to reduce the flow of illegal immigrants, which clearly is important to do."

that'll play well with the base

The administration did not live up to its objectives in what they agreed to with Iran. Bob Menendez's speech today outlining his opposition to the agreement does a nice job highlighting just how little we get out of it and underlining the problems that come from enriching the Iranian regime. You can't suggest Menendez is only pretending to oppose the deal because he's Team GOP or yell Joos at him.

It must be amazing to nip at the heels of people who throw you bones when you really have barely earned those. I guess you do it because you don't actually recognize when someone's giving you credit for a modicum of sense. Oh well


And now look at you fulsome in your praise of Bob fucking Menendez. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

And why's it pathetic? Because you're all chapped that the deal is "bad"


What does that even mean in a world where neither you nor I nor anyone has a time machine?

Really, now I'm pissed. This is as pathetic as that numskull Wisconsin cheesewheel imagining he's gonna repeal ACA. No you're not, you lamebrain, you're not getting out of your benighted state. You're not repealing anything. Not a thing. Nothing!

If Hillary negotiated that deal Menendez supports it imo

keeping score, jersey made a point (that i don't agree with), doc calls him a child, jersey asks why he's a child with a followup point, doc again does not address any points and continues with nonsense. then asks why there is a discussion on a messageboard. bravo

Here's what you missed while TSA was wanding your crotch (yes, I do know why you like airports, you weirdo):

Jerz knows that the die was cast on this Iran deal practically from the moment the negotiations began thanks to structural/procedural realities of our wondrous representative government. Obama never needed Congressional approval of this complex, conflicted, compromising, multi-nation-state deal; he just needed to avoid too much disapproval. Now that it's pretty sure he's done that, he's getting less disapproval.

I know that Jerz has known that. And he's made clear that he understands that. And he and I know that that makes anything Donald Trump, or Ted Cruz, or Bob Menendez, or anybody, a lot of gumflappery.

The frauds and desperados pursuing the Republican party nomination for POTUS are not as competent, not as capable, as Jerz is. Jerz would be a better candidate that all but maybe 2 of them. I would be much more comfortable entrusting the future of the US of A to him than to the imbecile Trump or some poopstain like Cruz.

So when I'm told "no thank you, in fact fuck you for calling the putative leaders of "my team" "children"", yes, I feel a bit miffed.

see, just say that instead of saying names. it's so much better

no one is saying she sent anything classified. what is being checked is if something that was sent should've been considered classified retroactively.
