White people being allowed to kill Indians with impunity, what a novel and new idea to American jurisprudence.

No one but Bernie supporters are supporting Trump? Really?
….I don't believe I said that. I said as I explained to Kaiolino some of the people justifying Trump's comments about Lewis are in fact Bernie Sanders supporters doing so because they don't like how Lewis openly criticized Sanders.....whether those same people support Trump where his presidency concerned is somewhat irrelevant.
In case you needed more proof about Trump never meeting Putin
Protesting in the middle of the road, especially on the highway, is basically like playing in traffic. People shouldn't go to jail because they accidentally hit someone voluntarily standing in the middle if the highway. I watched some if the BLM protests, cops can't keep them off the roads because they think they're getting their message out there better by doing that, and maybe they are, but it's also a very large safety hazard for everyone involved and can potentially block emergency vehicles as well.
While that is true that doesn't really justify this supposed law which looks like a blatant attempt at loophole abuse to justify people doing dangerous things..

Oh man, Snowden really shouldn't have left the States, huh? :D
And on Assange, he's the only one expecting to be sent to the US, right? First he'd have to get to Sweden first.

Well yeah, there is a small amount of overlap between Sanders supporters and Trump supporters. It just frustrates me that "Bernie Bros" is now a commonly used pejorative used to slam all Bernie supporters and lump them in with the few deplorables that exist in every group.

I tend to avoid going after the more sane and rational of Bernie supporters the ones who didn't stamp their feet and insist they were going to vote for Trump or third party. It's the ones still whining about the results in Nevada, insisting that the entire DNC conspired against Bernie, and of course continuing the tired spiel of "Hillary and Trump are equally bad" that put me in a bad headspace. And whenever I address the latter I make it clear who I'm taking issue with it why.

Assange getting welcomed back to the US would end with him getting a free trip to Sweden.

He'll either end up in a Swedish prison or at the head of an American government agency.

And if Sweden doesn't charge Assange then they could send him back to the U.S. where he can serve the rest of Manning's commuted sentence.

From what I've hear about Swedish prison these both seem like equally good gigs.

Republican Gov. Paul LePage on Tuesday offers a bullshit history lesson about racial segregation to John Lewis and he called on the NAACP to apologize to white people.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/maine-governor-rep-john-lewis-history-lesson-151046686–politics.html
"You know, I will just say this: John Lewis ought to look at history," LePage, who's white, said on WVOM-FM. "You It was Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves. It was Rutherford B. Hayes and Ulysses S. Grant that fought against Jim Crow laws. A simple thank you would suffice."
Later in the afternoon, the governor tried to clarify his remarks to the Portland Press Herald by saying he felt all white people were being lumped together. He said that the "NAACP should apologize to the white people, to the people from the North for fighting their battle."

She's also a hardcore Dutch Calvinist.

Around the turn of the century when they pushed Bush/Gore same shit, both sides and later when they pushed America into war with their phony Iraq WMD reports.

Hey, I didn't know how the whole nuclear bomb process worked before but this article explains it. You're free not to read it though, cause I sure didn't like what I found. Just assume the worst.

""It's time to shift the debate from what the system thinks is best for kids to what moms and dads want, expect and deserve."
Most moms and dads don't know what the fuck when it comes to education, how it works, and so on.
You wouldn't make this argument for most professions, you'd let the professionals do their job, but naw this one is the one that republicans universally shit on so its cool.
But to be fair, increasingly I suppose even doctors are being pressured to give in to what moms and dads want regarding kids from these people, like the vaccine bullshit. And of course also scientists, and…. gosh actually the Trumpublicans kind of just want to ignore experts of every sort and do what they want like bratty little shits. -

@Article:
At the Detroit auto show in early January, Sergio Marchionne, the CEO of Fiat Chrysler (FCAU), said he would love to credit Donald Trump for his company’s decision to make a big new investment in US factories. But the planning had been going on since well before Election Day last November. “I wish I could give [Trump] credit for this,” Marchionne told a group of reporters, “but the thinking was in place beforehand.”
NBC News recently reported that US automakers and other manufacturing companies are “recycling” old news about US job creation and investment, to earn Trump’s approval and get him off their case. Trump blasted NBC, in the usual fashion
