Yeah, it does. What I say is extremely simple. With all you guys preaching this 'lesser evil' crap, it very relevant to point out that the people you advocate are the same as the ones you hate. Please, stop. The republicans are no worse than the democrats, and they are no more in opposition than you are with your wife.
Yes, Romney's GA would act identical to Holder under the same circumstance. This is business. Put aside the bullshit.
Should be more like atonement. One of the major architects of civil forfeiture is Joe Biden. This is only happening because it finally gets some bad press. Anybody who happens to be in the office would do the same thing. Don't credit to the politician. Give that to the squeaky wheel.
Yeah, if the press made a stink (the only reason we get this much), and the people actually reacted, sure he would (How many people expected Nixon to give us OSHA and the EPA, or expected Eisenhower to send in regular army to desegregate the schools?). It's what politicians do. It's not the president who makes these rules. They just sign the papers. And you'll also find one of the biggest pushers of civil forfeiture was none other than the 'lesser evil' Joe Biden. One big happy family these guys are, who like to bicker on the TV
Look at what happened in 2010; we thought we were going to finally get a single-payer option for Americans and instead the federal government handed out the largest corporate handout in the history of government to the health insurance industry.
Yeah! And then you all reelected over 95% of the people who did it right back in(or, more accurately, 100% of the ruling party), including the guy who signed the bill, only because you all vote for bling that has to be spoon fed to be noticed. Good show!
That is bullshit bullshit bullshit! There are more than two choices on the ballot. And if you bother to work the primaries you can put more on (get it?). The entire problem lies with the voters and nobody else. They do every thing they can to absolve themselves of responsibility, and they sell their vote to the flashiest bullshitter that promises a pot of gold and a higher fence. Sorry, this government is their own damn fault. It's as simple as that.
The fact that they are distinguishable from regular traffic makes the damn thing completely useless, worse than useless, it attracts attention like a flare. If you can't blend in, you're doing it wrong.
And, you know, screw the FBI. They're going to do what they want, and nothing will come of it. Despite it all, they stand as tall as they ever did. And 95% of congress will win reelection next year. I guess all this ongoing chatter is just venting. Tomorrow? It's back to work...
It is clear, from the elections, that changing the politicians have little to no effect...
Say whaa??! What 'change' are youtalking about? 95% of these bastards get reelected every time. And all these great revelations about government abuse have not changed any of that since... well, ever. Switching back and forth between republican and democrat cannot be called 'change' by any sense of the word, except for their spelling. The government is an undistorted, but maybe slightly embellished reflection of the wishes of the voters. Let's consider looking at the root of the problem, instead of the symptoms, which is all everybody is talking about here.
What is clear from the elections is that people wake up, push a button, and go back to sleep. I'm not sure what you could expect from that, other than what we have.
The hierarchy is self imposed. 'Persuasion' cannot be held responsible for the personal choice to act. You are scapegoating social constructs for bad personal choices. Didn't your mother ever ask you if you would jump off a cliff just because your friends did? They is nothing physical in a word that is capable of compelling a person with a free will to act. If nobody follows the order to kill, then you cannot sanction the person who made the order, No harm was done. Only some noise was made. We are star struck by leaders when the danger emerges from those who follow. When you kill the leader, they only find another one just like him. The war is forever until people actually think first before acting. Instead of censorship, preach resistance to peer pressure. Tear down the social constructs that you blame for how people react to speech.
...unless you think that the entire premise of both psychology and sociology are made up...
On the contrary. But all reactions to the words are a conditioned response. Unlike a rock hitting you on the head, they have no intrinsic value not defined by another person. The meaning of a word can change overnight. A rock is still a rock with real value in its mass and energy. The 'value' of the word is totally dependent on the person's reaction, which is usually quite variable, but the value is the choice to react, not the word itself. And it is person who made that choice that must be held accountable, not the word he claims to have provoked him.
Ha ha... You ain't seen nuttin' yet. Just wait until they take the steering wheel out of your car and remove the pilot from the airliners. Then it will get interesting. And now I wonder why building elevators haven't gone nuts yet. They would be good targets, and it will be funny to see the people coming out all squished flat, just their hats with feet, and that silly music when they walk
Stop the insanity! Set up your shit on the moon first and learn something about propulsion and life support, which would include a 15 theater cineplex and KFC, by the way.
You're right. I should have specified Caribbean side, where pretty much everybody east of the Mississippi goes because of the embargo. Puerto Vallarta and Baja won't know the difference. The Pacific is an entirely different scene anyway.
Maybe we've been going about this backwards, 'punishing' the few Communists leaders has instead hurt the populace.
Not 'maybe'. It's intentional. Collective punishment is all the rage. It is the pretext behind and the result of all sanctions. Global bullies stealing lunch money. If the US really didn't like Castro, They would have done like they did in Chile, and the rest of Central America. This is a charade.
...there must be a technical way to keep information private, but ensure that police and spies can listen in when a court approves.
Simply impossible with the inherent corruption in the system. He's making the same speech as the Supreme Chancellor in front of the senate, and he will get his thunderous applause.
There is nothing left to do but try to keep up and protect our selves as best we can.

Republicans are in favor of Civil Asset forfeiture laws.
You mean 'republicans' like Joe Biden?
Yes, they are very bipartisan when need be.
Fuck 'em all. And kill the charade, okay?
...demonstrably good...

You don't know your history too well. I'll leave it at that.
This is why we need a federal government to put the hammer down. To hell with 'states rights'!
How is it an ad if they aren't selling anything yet?
Sorry, then it's hype, even worse. And I believe their competition is Netflix, not the major studios.
Thanks for the Amazon ad!
You're getting paid? I hope.
and if someone does, someone dies.
Exactly. Thee follower executed the order. He alone is responsible.

The US is Q Branch and muscle.
God save the Queen
The US is Pinky. The UK is Brain.

If flights go directly to Cuba, then it will be a few hour flight from New York to Cuba, something you can do in a weekend.
It will devastate Mexico, especially since Mexico isn't so cheap anymore.

I just come here to look at the centerfolds.... Maybe they're in the next aisle
