Obama to invade Canada? Obama threatens to nuke London? Obama caught sexting with Kim Jong Un? Obama forcing Secret Service to use steroids? … I just got a call from Drudge, hang on.

BetterToRuleInHell posted:Not sure if this has been posted yet, but not only did Clinton use only her personal email during her time as Secretary of State, but she ran her own email server out of her own house. No, the WHOIS registry's home address is listed as her house. The physical location of the server is unknown at the moment.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Only if it's applied in the hopes that making things dramatically worse will cause some sort of great awakening in society. It's a perfectly functional political philosophy if you hate all people and want everyone on Earth to die. Now we're getting somewhere. But what if I'm a voluntary-extinctionist without being a political accelerationist?

Joementum posted:Not at all. Their objection is absolute, counter-productive, and idiotic. All Joe is saying here, if I may sum up, is that Congress should be allowed to do counterproductive and idiotic things of this nature if they want to. And as a political junkie I heartily agree. Joementum posted:The Senate just adopted a resolution calling for an investigation into the death of Boris Nemtsov. Too far? I just would like to say here, that I have nothing at all to do with this investigation.

UCS Hellmaker posted:The problem is that you have someone pulling the trigger. More so then injection that person as to see the effects of his actions when he kills the prisoner. Say what you will about lethal injection but compared to hanging, firing squads, gas chambers, and the electric chairs its more humane for the person dying and for the person that performs the action. Executions are inhumane enough now but compared to the last century much better then they were for everyone involved. I never understood this objection. Make the fuckers robotic, you telling me we can make a self-driving car but not a machine that can fire on a relatively still target at least as well as a human? (Capital punishment is bad and wrong.)

Joementum posted:That's what I particularly enjoyed about the quote. It's like a remarkable sauce, there are more flavors from every perspective. ...Do the Germans have a word for when you are overjoyed at a fantastic ride, but there is an undercurrent of dread based on the horrific peril zooming by just inches away? That's kind of what I feel when I think about Cruz in a presidential election. We're very fortunate he's already burned so many bridges.

greatn posted:The kill all the gays referendum is actually a good thing because it will never get the signatures and it's making people aware of how stupid legislation by referendum is. Doesn't matter whether it gets the signatures or not. CA Supreme Court would throw it off the ballot as being against the state constitution, even if it were to make the required quota.

Joementum posted:Quote of the morning, "In my time in the Senate, there have been more than a few rocks tossed my direction from Democrats and Republicans. And yet in my entire time there, I haven’t reciprocated — you have never heard me speak ill of any senator, Republican or Democrat. And I don’t intend to start." ~ Ted Cruz, on his non-existent attempt to primary multiple of his Republican colleagues in the Senate that totally didn't happen. Try to touch the past. Try to deal with the past. It's not real. It's just a dream.

I was 19, so the only defense my roommates and I were capable of mounting was to immediately throw a bitchin' party and sing "Afghanistan's not gonna take it anymore" by Twisted Sister all night. So that is what we did. Edit: vvvv We spawned a whole lot of that other bullshit.

baw posted:Since a lot of the time we find ourselves asking if a particular GOP policy is the result of evil or stupidity, I think it raises the question: if someone is stupid and does evil things out of stupidity, does that make them evil? I think Hannah Arendt already covered this, and the answer is "yes".

Captain_Maclaine posted:Same. I joined right after the Forums Police Action, when Lowtax opened up registration again. Since it's been a decade and a half, my memories of it are fuzzy, but I could have sworn that I was here before 2001. I have this vague recollection that my regdate got rebooted at some point along then, is that the police action you're talking about?

Captain_Maclaine posted:In 2001 Lowtax got fed up with a subset of consistently lovely posters who were more or less ruining all the threads and so went on the sort of purge that used to happen periodically when registration was still free and probation didn't exist yet. This led to bans being handed out liberally for the slightest infractions and also the start of for accounts, intended to keep idiots like Tasty from rereging constantly and also help Lowtax pay for this place. Holy poo poo I forgot about fuckin' Tasty.
