So given the most recent ruling about free speech zones at planned parenthood and what not, is that going to have any impact on where people can kick and scream at the convention? I mean doesn't it basically do away with those goofy free speech zones they had in the past?

Guess who:

"It's time to impeach; and on behalf of American workers and legal immigrants of all backgrounds, we should vehemently oppose any politician on the left or right who would hesitate in voting for articles of impeachment."

Not a sitting politican, writing for Breitbart.

Reminder that as many people blame the inept Katrina response on Obama as on GW Bush so people really don't know what the gently caress.

I don't think it is a job-creator worship thing as much as that they don't like the idea of having to get "permission" from the government to hire someone and also think that E-verify is a step towards the real solution to making sure someone is authorized to be in the US which would be a national photo ID card and centralized database of some sort to confirm the ID card belongs to the person applying, which means biometrics. Can you imagine the freakout if the US government started collecting vein maps of everyone?

Lots of "free speech zones" are illegal, it's just that no one challenges them.

From the look of the Secret Service Agent, the guy was definitely lucky not to get beaten like a dead horse.


It is a lovely idea, but there is a catch as usual. What happens when you have a citizen who has the same name as a illegal immigrant? We have a track record of deporting US citizens on the basis of mistaken identity, so I imagine full implementation of E-Verify to be a full clusterfuck.

No, they're far past the abstract observation of "gee we don't have enough resources to handle this". They're explicitly saying "the process is much too long".


You're right that they're not rushing any individual specifically, they're just trying to shorten the process to make it faster to do deportations for all the individuals. Much better, right?

If it were a GOP administration presiding over this kind of stuff, I doubt you'd be leaping to defend it. For all the moral arguments they make on immigration, when push comes to shove the Obama administration is about more deportations, faster, with less process.

The GOP gets off on getting called racist. They get to climb up on their moral high horse and accuse Dems of playing "the RACE CARD" and then the narrative switches to "is it racism" and liberals get called overly sensitive and so on.

Because you can't prove someone is racist. We know that they are racist, they know they are racist, but they have plausible deniability in the name of national security and economic reasons, so unless you have a secret tape of them saying "muhahahah we're doing this because we hate Mexicans ahahah" (and probably not even then) race is never a winning issue in the contemporary political climate.

I mean, Donald Sterling was on tape basically saying "I hate black people", still denied he was racist, and a good number of people believe him, or don't think what he did was racist.

It was a combination of two things. First, the total economic collapse absolutely crated demand for energy for a couple months there. Second, there was a Koch-funded initiative where they had one specific gas station give 50 motorists subsidized gas on the day of inauguration so Republicans could use that as the low-end figure in their chart.

Damned if I can find a supporting article at this point, though.

I know, right!



Unless....

There was a fairly common GOP image macro going around during the 2012 election that showed gas at $1.84 when Obama was inaugurated. Kinda fell flat with most people, since it was still lower than in 2008 even after it went back up and the drop was during winter when people weren't driving as much.

Found it:

The funny thing is how when Bush was elected, gas was 85 cents a gallon where I lived, but I don't remember anyone bringing that up when the Bush years quickly doubled that.

I'll give their web team credit. At least they used bootstrap and made it have a responsive UI. That being said, they did not catch everything. Remember those unavailable domains above? Well, that domain you searched for is saved as a hidden field on the page. If you find one that's okay, and you submit the form, it passes that hidden field to the cart.



Let's change that hidden field.






Hey GOP, it's called Server side validation.

Er, how can this conceivably be legal? Even if somehow you can't be hit with reckless endangerment or some sort of road violation for blowing thick black smoke at cyclists on the road that obscures their vision, couldn't you get your balls sued off in civil court for deliberately blowing a known carcinogen at their faces?

Shifty Pony posted:

Prove they did it. That's the problem.

Fortunately more cyclists are riding with cameras and newer models more like dashcams than gopros are coming out which make it even easier.

Using a phone while riding a bicycle in traffic is an amazingly bad idea, and even if you do risk it the guy has probably had his laugh and driven away by the time you start recording. You need an always-on system like those Russian dashcams.

Checking with fiddler, it is actually passing that that field to the cart, so it would probably process. Not sure if I want to check though...

Doesn't the GOP have full control over the names as per some deal with ICANN? I imagine exploiting flaws in their website would let them just revoke the name you buy and at whatever price it's listed for.

Even if you buy it now they can probably just cancel it because of TOU agreements or something. Plus if it anything that ICANN blocked it definitely won't last because those are usually copyright concerns.
