I'm very concerned about net neutrality suddenly becoming an extremely partisan issue. I mean good drat it, 80% of people agreed with it, and now the conservative media leaders have decided and now 45% of the people will always be against it and think Obamanet is a thing, and if any republican President is EVER elected it will be over.

Fried Chicken posted:SCOTUS denied very to a case out of Maryland where a suspect was convicted on DNA evidence, with the DNA being collected by swabbing the arm rests of a chair the suspect was sitting in rather that the suspect submitting to a test. The appellate court had ruled this was acceptable so that ruling stands - the state can passively gather and indefinitely retain DNA records I don't think so. It's no different than giving an interviewee a glass of water and getting prints from it.

I really have no problem with it. I don't know why anyone should be contented about police being able to take DNA samples that are left behind, the same way anything you say can and will be used against you.

Trabisnikof posted:If it just happens that mostly black and brown men make it into that database, well that's not your problem! Well hopefully their DNA doesn't match and it will all work out! I'm not seeing why DNA is sacred compared to any other evidence collection, and how it is an unreasonable search or seizure if they don't even take it from your person or property.

How about we just give Iran one nuke a year, then they don't have to develop it anymore, and we are disarming ourselves at the same time. Russia can do the same. And then the most dangerous world superpowers can finally be nuke free just as Reagan envisioned. No, you know what? Every country gets one nuke. Cote D'voir, one nuke, Panama, one nuke, Luxembourg, one nuke, Laos, one nuke.

There's nothing to fix. No one cares. The people who like Hillary don't care and the people who hate host probably don't care either, buy will pretend they do. I'm sure some libertarians who like to talk about ACCOUNTABILITY care, and Glenn Greenwald is probably mad because he didn't get his hands on this from wikileaks.

evilweasel posted:I doubt it. Fox is big on "racism doesn't exist anymore" and how anything short of actual lynching isn't really racism and is just people playing the race card. A guy who literally sang about hanging niggers from a tree is so far past the line about what you can try to spin as "not racist" that the only real option is "thing we were discussing isn't real racism, that OU guy, THAT is racism and we will prove our bona fides by hating this OU guy while we continue to insinuate Obama is an america-hating muslim". Like people's conservative mostly-racist grandpa who talks about "those people" and that blacks are just lazy will see this and call those guys racists. Actually if it were a video of him shooting a black guy asking to be in the fraternity he'd be better off. You are allowed to be as racist as you want and take any action against a black person as long as you don't say the n word. That's the current right wing racism rules.

I think a significant portion of the left needs their leader to speak up before they get on board though. For instance my uncle is a huge lefty but often has his issues completely backwards. Like he hates the things right to work does, but thought that actually was in states without right to work laws. And didn't understand that the President was trying to negotiate a deal with Iran where they'd have to stop nuclear development, because the President just never speaks up on these things.

His brother was killed by a terrorist and he is one generation removed from the holocaust of his people, so he is just not a very chill dude in general. Some people deal with it by becoming a broker for peace, some people deal with it by becoming a broker for hate. I can't say for sure I wouldn't be the same way, but I would hope not.

Ugh I wish people wouldn't kill cops, but if they did I wish they would do research first and make sure they were at least ones who deserved it, not complete randos. Though in this case I do have to wonder, it seems like the cops were hulked up, like some kind of beast, why didn't they just comply with the gunman's orders? He has a gun. They could have prevented this by not taking such aggressive posture.

I thought we regularly passed the Hyde amendment anyway. Out in a second amendment that says the morning after pull and IUDs are not abortificants and is be fine with it honestly, is not like congress is ever going to fund abortions in the first place, other than their own teenage daughters if they're dating a black guy.

If Bush is elected we will triumphantly go to war with and defeat Iran to save Israel, only to be ruined by a democrat when they are elected eight years later. If Clinton wins we will reluctantly go to war with Iran, a foolish decision that will be pilloried by the right, causing her to lose reelection, upon which President Walker will invade Syria.

Fried Chicken posted:States get to set that, so its "permanent" in that it isn't going to change until their currently benefiting legislature and governor decide to change it. Which Florida is trying to do, but there is no chance in hell a governor who has won their position is going to sign a law to make their term even shorter, and very low odds you will have a legislature with a veto proof majority of the other party that is willing to take the political heat of cutting short the opposing party's time in office. An outgoing second term governor might do it.
