and if they can't prove it a second time, they should be killed.

What's happening to Turkey is depressing. All those years of democracy and the love they have for the father of Turkish democracy and this guy is throwing it all away.

The Oregon thing is getting going just as I'm finishing Making a Murderer, it's a seamless transition with the right mindset.

They're all doing it. He's just the loudest. Hearing Rubio's NYE message talking about the "disastrous past seven years" as if we were in the midst of a new Great Depression or in a devastating war. At some point, the hyperbolic rhetoric has to temper a bit, right?

Cruz's NYE message was similar. It's like we are living in a different country. I look around and am not stepping over the bodies or having to barter for food. Some people are living rough lives, but any look at any statistic shows we are doing fine in the aggregate, especially in comparison to late 2008/early 2009. There's lots to work on (and I've seen decline in worker rights, for example), but we are not a third world country here, folks.

Exactly. Words have meaning. Seven years of overall moderate economic growth and domestic peace =/= disastrous.

We're talking about the same people who think the president who served during the largest attack on our country since Pearl Harbor and plunged us into 2 wars kept us safe.

The part that drives me nuts is that I don't think that many of them (some of the dumber ones, maybe) actually believe any of that shit. They're just pandering to the polar extremes b/c they think it's the only way to play the game

Apparently Turnip's ad has a "border image malfunction"...?

This profoundly incompetent dipshit could not run a nose

It's meta commentary on our country as it currently stands.

Santorum says that he supports the Oregon terrorists cause. Where are the moderate Republicans denouncing the majority of what these horrible humans are saying?

If it were blah people he'd be opposed

Lil Bundy used a small business administration loan that could cost taxpayers 200k. WELFARE

Mayor Goode would know what to do

Or Janet Reno

The Iran/Saudi Arabia pissing contest (SA executed 47 people, including a big Shia cleric in SA, which prompted 'protests' at their Tehran embassy and then SA/Bahrain exited their people) is going to affect the Syrian peace talks, most likely

sure glad we destabilized the region and jumpstarted all this

TBF, the Middle East was long destabilized before we got there and will be whenever we decide to leave. If it wasn't this crap it would be some other crap. That is why we need to get the heck out. We have no solution, we are only making it worse. I am not even sure if there is a solution, it is so complicated. They are going to kill each other no matter what, might as well let them do it while we watch from safely afar.

and apparently Michigan is one of the only states where the Governor can invoke executive privilege to stop documents from being released under the freedom of information act. So no one really knows how much he knew about the state of the water before doing anything about it.

and he did "quietly" hand out water filters to pastors in the city while still officially stating the water was safe

The cleric's execution was Obama fault, BTW:

"Damned if you do, damned if you don't" I think perfectly sums up the US's position in the ME; indeed, around the world. The US has become everyone's customer service center:

"Hello and thank you for calling the United States of America. My name is Scott, how may I help you today? I see. Your embassy is being overrun and they have taken hostages. Wow, that it awful and I understand how frustrating that can be. Let me check something real quick. Yup, I am noticing that there is a Navy Seal extraction team in your area currently. Will someone be home between 2pm and 5pm EST? Outstanding. We will see you then. Is there anything else I can help you with? Okay, then. Your reference code for this job is 3825877483. It was a pleasure speaking with you and I hope you have a terrific day".
