In this case I have to give the police benefit of the doubt. They were operating on jnfo from a 911 call that appeared to be from that area. As far as the discharge that caused the fatality, I haven't seen video so I can't comment. I have seen tapes where people were shot in there front yards hands held high and empty when the official reports mention threats and knives. Yes and no. The info from the call definitely indicates extreme caution on arrival, but what effort did they make after that to verify that any of it was even true? Did they ask anything about what was going on inside? When you start asking questions about "is your little brother and mother still in the closet?" you're going to get a confused "suspect" since there is no brother there. He said on the call he'd spread gasoline everywhere and was thinking about lighting it, wouldn't the place reek when the cops got there? I know there's no video yet, but it looks on the surface that there's still a major training issue here that contributed to the outcome. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Leaving out that the vast majority of the listings are just pissing on anything Obama did (regardless of validity), duplicates of the same thing, or misleading/false summaries... leaving all that out... The irony of listing "Trump has written 46 Executive Orders" as an achievement and then just three items later "Ending many of Obama's useless Executive Orders" is priceless... P.S. I'm at least heartened to see that the wallet they've listed for BTC donations is damn near bone dry. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Dude the numbers are there in black and white. The average Joe is going to get a small tax reprieve for a few years and then their taxes will go up. The wealthy will get a BIG tax cut that doesn't expire. And it's going to cost over a trillion taxpayer dollars. How on earth can you consider that a win, are you mental??? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

McConnell can go fuck himself. 8 years of planned, deliberate stone-walling no matter what the proposal was, and NOW he thinks he deserves bipartisanship?? Fucking weasel... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Pssssst. Can't use that word anymore, dontchaknow?? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

That was a hell of a composed reaction from Bradford, under the circumstances... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I genuinely never thought this would happen - the damage potential is ridiculously obvious, not to mention that the whole thing is exactly the *opposite* of what free-market believers advocate for. Also how does this even work/impact on a global scale? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I've only been in crypto a few months now, and my investment is one I can afford to lose. But this thread, hoo boy... a bit of an eye-opener... I would KILL to have taken Bitcoin seriously 10 years ago and put some cash into it. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I agree that context is important, but you lost me here. Trump is not a patriot, his entire history is about putting Trump's interest ahead of all others. The only times he demonstrates anything close to patriotism is when it will directly benefit him personally. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Slight point of order - doxxing is historically the attack of choice of the trollier elements of the web that have more extreme right-leaning views. While I still agree it's an atrocious practise, it's more a case here that PJL got on board with the tactic of "the enemy" and now someone's throwing it back their way. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

All of these jokes pale in comparison to what happened today. Someone posted the same information about them (doxxing??) and they are insisting that Facebook remove it immediately. https://www.athensnews.com/news/local/fb-page-doxxes-area-activists-others-after-flag-debate/article_cc4e4934-ae9d-11e7-957a-c7efe1415098.html As much as I hate fascists (especially whiny kids who don't even have the balls to own their fascism), I can't stand doxxing, regardless of how scummy the target is or which side of the aisle you sit on. You find out where the weasel works and want to let their employer know directly the kinds of shit they get up to on their spare time? Have at it. Don't throw it out there for Joe Public. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

The kids know exactly what they're doing. They're not making a stand for free speech, they're testing boundaries and continuing to slowly and subtly normalise extremist views. The crap about the tiny detail in the flag being different so it's totally not meant to be the same thing and is innocent? Bullshit. The appropriate response to learning that the flag you're flying is basically the same that neo-nazis have been flying is "oh shit that's messed up, we'll get a better flag because nazis are scum", not engaging in smug semantics. I normally try very hard to make room for opposing viewpoints and to steer clear of censorship, but fascists will never get a pass.

Octarine That's the one that's kind of greenish-purple, yeah? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I really hope no-one in this thread has any matches, because there is SO much straw in those last few posts... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

I finally got around to looking up Hawkins. What are your thoughts on LoC calibration and the methods used? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Have you looked in a mirror lately? Have you ever had an original thought in your entire life? I don't understand how you can devote so much energy to being wilfully ignorant all the time - I'd be exhausted. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

You get flamed because you come here to troll, or to be a dick. I don't think I've ever seen you enter into a genuine discussion here, not even once. It's incredibly disappointing since you're clearly intelligent. My soon-to-be MIL is a conservative Christian (stb FIL slightly less conservative, still very Christian) - we get along just fine despite my "sinful" atheism. I suspect it's because neither one of us is such a cunt about it. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

This referred to whom then? Didn't take you to be this intellectually dishonest. you guys aren't so obtuse as to not recognize wry sarcasm - unless it fits your narrative I'm out. waste of time It was written as passive aggression rather than sarcasm, and it was disappointing to see. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

"Dvorkin ruled: "Unfortunately, the [O'Reilly] interview only served to confirm the belief, held by some, in NPR's liberal media bias....by coming across as a pro-Franken partisan rather than a neutral and curious journalist, Gross did almost nothing that might have allowed the interview to develop." Dvorkin didn't exactly say what you're implying he said. ETA: It's a bit disappointing you didn't provide a source for your quote, and I had to go look it up. Is that because you knew it was cherry picked? Second Edit: The source, in case anyone's interested: https://www.mrc.org/bozells-column/npr-admits-liberal-bias. Interesting choice when criticising an outlet's bias, no? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

No one sane thinks that it did. The outcome isn't the point. The fact that another superpower actively tried to interfere at all is the point. How can you not see what a huge concern that is? You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Careful, your bias is showing... No it's not. We're actually talking about refugees. If these people need mental help after witnessing the horrors of the middle-eastern lifestyle, then that need should be identified and treated upon entering this country. Unless of course you rather just ban them altogether and not have to deal with it. You've taken a single incident, and decided this is an indication that an entire world region's default culture is mentally scarring? I'd forgotten that you don't come here to discuss things. You come with a viewpoint set in concrete that's allegedly "self-evident", then refuse to acknowledge your question-begging assumptions. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Careful, your bias is showing... You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

Despite the source, I went back and read through the bulk of that. There is only one mention of a refugee in the entire list, and the connection was tenuous at best - he was brought as a witness to a meeting that another guy had arranged, with what turned out to be the FBI running a sting. Yet another example of "they're using the refugees as cover to infiltrate" being completely unsupported by the facts. You are playing chicken with a planet - you can't dodge and planets don't blink. Act accordingly.

While the amount of cronyism and nepotism in this administration is abhorrent, this particular item is at least welcome news. Valid concerns had been raised about her previous "voluntary" adherence to the ethics rules - if she voluntarily opted in, she could have voluntarily opted out.
