When we were all taking that long politics test thing during the primaries (I forget the name of the site but I feel like almost everyone here did it - it listed like you agree with Clinton this much and Sanders this much and McMullin this much and Stein this much and Kasich this much etc), his number one match was Sanders. Number two was Trump. Clinton was like fifth.

The easiest way to figure out if someone is actually center-left or center-right is to ask what right-wing or left-wing policies respectively do they agree with?

(I'm not even going to link to the video itself - the title alone is worth condemning)

Great job, Fox News. While everyone else is asking her questions to try to determine the killer's motive, you, in your bloodthirst, decide that's not enough - you have to have someone alive to try to frame as part of the crime - and I'm guessing it's because you need someone who isn't an old white man.

I'm also guessing that you know that your adherents are going to see that title and jump to conclusions about her, too. Let alone what you have to say, yourself.

inb4 someone defends them by saying "they make good points" - no. Nothing justifies this. At all. This is rabble-rousing. Period.

So I know people are tired of me harping on this, but in case you were "distracted" by the actual massive catastrophes in Houston, Florida, and Puerto Rico...

https://tinyurl.com/ycew7cyy

St. Louis PD is still a hive of scum and villainy. And no, #NotAllCops are awful. But there sure do seem to be a lot of them between St. Louis and Foolmo's other topic about the NYPD (punctuated by TimJab's pitiful attempts to deflect). We need some goddamn reform. We need accountability for criminal cops and people who relish excessive force. And we need to stop sending fucking military commando trainers on missions to respond to unarmed protests.

This, and its associated impunity for the offenders, is why these protests take place, and take it from me as a guy from Southeast Michigan -- if this doesn't stop, I would not be surprised if we see another '67 style violent rebellion. Same root cause, different era, now with a lot more deadly weapons on both sides. Don't accuse me of wanting it. It's a worst case scenario. But with social media, polarization, a country awash with guns, and racial divisions flaring up again thanks to police brutality, the ingredients for an explosion are there.

There. Now I promise to try not to bring it up again for at least another week.

Is that...uh...real? It doesn't cite a source and just shows a picture.

Also there should be more than one way out of a town, especially one that is an important boarder town with France.

Also cops would have to be Wile E Coyote levels of stupid to fall for this.

Not saying it has to be FAKE NEWS but it ticks off several boxes.

I think you could make a case that statements like this from the President violate the First Amendment. He's basically threatening (albeit impotently) to have the government investigate news outlets for negative coverage of his clusterfuck of an administration.

Quick search and glance at the headlines (Since I don't really have time to dig into the articles before work) suggests it's reasonably safe website and a legitimate organization, but super left-biased. I wouldn't rely on them as a primary news source for anything.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/05/politics/nra-bump-stocks/index.html

Washington (CNN)The National Rifle Association announced Thursday that it supports a review of bump fire stocks to see if they are in accordance with federal law.
...
"The National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law," the NRA said in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."

Obviously the best way forward to a diplomatic solution in North Korea is to prove that you can't be trusted to honor your word in the mostly directly analogous situation there is

God, fuck Trump. Mattis straight up said it was in the US's interest to stay in the deal a day or two ago too (and by all accounts Iran is complying with the terms of the deal).

Honestly, seems like a play to shift the blame of the deal (one way or the other) to congress so Trump doesn't have to be held responsible for anything.

Although that might be giving too much cognitive credit. It's probably just more dismantling of anything Obama-related.
