What kind of moron would go to the effort to riot over loving Milo?

I don't know, there are more permanent solutions, rioting isn't useful.

There was a huge protest at UCONN today, it was really a solidarity march because we're so liberal, and yet all of my non-white friends are still super nervous.

So saw the Berkeley protests turning into a block party on periscope, and the police have declared it an "unlawful assembly" and nobody payed any attention. Kron4 just said that live too, There is like the center bonfire thats the "protest" and the rest of the campus is just having a blast.

The other part of paying for education would be incentivising companies to hire your new rust-belt trainees and paying to move them cross country. Something like a direct rebate if you hire someone from a dying area and move them to your nice new industrial center.

I'm of the opinion (As a blue state democratic socialist, veteran) that gun control is a very dumb line of political attack for the left. It's not going to gain any votes at all, as the kind of people who link gun control as a center issue are a minority and won't be voting for the GOP anyway. Meanwhile advocating strict gun control alienated a huge amounts of more moderate leftists like myself who don't believe in it at all.

My position is you don't blame the tool. Banning sludge hammers because someone killed someone with a carpenters claw is what we're doing with gun control.

So if your a gun control fanatic do it at the local level and see if you can gain traction nationally over the course of years.

I was just reading this. This part made me laugh:

"Reached for comment this afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, "We continue to be disgusted by CNN's fake news reporting.""

oh and I'm guessing then Trump probably made him call back

"Spicer later called back and said, "This is more fake news. It is about time CNN focused on the success the President has had bringing back jobs, protecting the nation, and strengthening relationships with Japan and other nations. The President won the election because of his vision and message for the nation."

Oh I thought about it and it's horrifying.

Me (Connecticut, blue, socialist leaning, with capability to enforce) has a (argueably red) neighbor with a son (medically discharge army vet, & TROMP)and a daughter (red, idiot and/or DILLIGAF Libertarian who parrots family opinions) who are also my best friend's (neoliberal) cousins.

This metaphor of civil war brothers against brothers doesn't seem like hyperbole anymore. If poo poo goes down it won't be as clean as North v South, especially in the first few months.

"Oh hey that quadrocopter has the payload capacity for a 203 and 40mm" are non sequitor thoughts I've had as an engineering student and it sends me into a spiral of worry.

Thinking about it leads to madness or Fury Road style futures.

To add to the Snowden part: He fled to Hong Kong so he had enough time to leak it. But because he gave the journalists the whole kabootle and trust them to redact it he leaked a lot of ways and means too. He essentially leaked the parts that gave countries like Iran a blueprint for how to setup and process metadata collection etc. Then rather then accept extradition to the US he fled to Russia.
