Why is Obama always/never giving press conferences??

The media prefer answers like “you’re either with us or against us.”

Obama declares victory? Or is it that Politico is completely mischaracterizing what Obama said.

A total mischaracterization of what Obama said, obviously throwing red meat to right wing readers. https://t.co/cVrdiJnIej

Can there be a larger contrast to how Obama as a president needs to speak on this whole topic compared to Republican candidates blurting out Carpet Bombing, Glass making, Shooting down Russian planes and being Buddy-Buddy to someone like Putin when you know he is doing everything he can to take full advantage of this situation for his own means?

Well it depends on what was ultimately done and with what kind of knowledge. That data represents the entirety of a ground game. Something that takes a lot of time and money to put together.

I’ve tried reading political memoirs over the years, and typically they are terrible mostly because they provide no insight. I even tried reading GWBush’s - hoping that there might actually be some insight, and it was basically “this was the decision that I had to make, and I made the decision, and then we moved on to the next decision.” It just made me sad. I’m hopeful that Obama’s memoirs might be better, but I doubt they’ll provide much insight.

BTW, watched Crimson Peak yesterday. Not something I would watch twice, but glad I have watched it. It’s about the atmosphere.

Rushbo is having a sadz about the budget deal:

This was out-and-out, in-our-face lying, from the campaigns to individual statements made about the philosophical approach Republicans had to all this spending. There is no Republican Party! You know, we don’t even need a Republican Party if they’re gonna do this. You know, just elect Democrats, disband the Republican Party, and let the Democrats run it, because that’s what’s happening anyway. And these same Republican leaders doing this can’t, for the life of them, figure out why Donald Trump has all the support that he has? They really can’t figure this out?

Does Limbaugh really have power? I remember reading fairly recently that he had to move off the biggest AM stations in quite a few markets and his ratings dropped when he did.

Or is this just another example of Varys’ riddle? He has power because we believe he has power?

There was a time when if the thrice-divorced pill popper called a Republican out, his/her constituents would light up the phone board and the called-out Republican would be on the phone to pill popper’s show within ten minutes to apologize. Now? It hasn’t happened during the entire Obama administration. He has zero pull with the same establishment he whines about on a daily basis.

The most amazing bit of the NAF/CMP hearing was CMP’s attempt to downplay recent clinic violence as having nothing to do with the videos.

I’m sure in the hateful, twisted, crossed-wires of Benny’s mind that is morally reprehensible and she should be punished for the sins of the father.

Meanwhile a true clean-living, morally-upright conservative, real-American is being passed over and or ignored for a job in the same realm.

The single biggest factor preventing Sanders from getting the nomination would be the fear that he’s perfectly willing to just be a Nader-esque bomb-thrower who will tank the whole kit and caboodle as long as he gets his attention from his segment of the base.

And what does he do? Takes action that only strengthens that perception among those currently favoring Clinton. Smrt.

She only recently found out that Africa is not a country.

How hard is it to send out something like this?

While we don’t think the actions of these former ¡Bernie! staffers were malicious or calculated, they still represented a breach of trust with the DNC and with Clinton’s campaign. We regret the temporary loss of access to the thingjobber, but recognize that it is in everyone’s best interest temporarily close that access. We want to work together with the DNC and with Clinton’s campaign to ascertain as quickly as possible what data might have been taken and how to prevent these accidental breaches, so that both organizations can operate on equal footing again.

And then, boom. Done. No hard feelings. Probably an acceleration of restoration of access. No bomb throwing. Everybody looks like the adult in the room. Your supporters can still feel a teensy bit victimized, but they’ll do that no matter what.

It’s not like the Sanders campaign is even challenging the facts, just complaining about the repercussions and trying to raise some money off of it. Very, very disappointing to me.

I wish that were true, but I’m not really sure it is.

As appalling as Martin Shkreli is, the odds are greatly against him suffering any real penalty at all for his crimes. The vast majority of these prosecutions go nowhere. Furthermore, the most revolting things he’s done publicly aren’t even crimes. They’re things that are highly lucrative and rewarding.

Unfortunately, it’s not in the human condition. The rewards for being truly awful, provided you start from a position of privilege, are just too great, and the risks very small. We applaud success, especially in modern American society. We worship it. And as humans, we don’t care as a whole how immoral or unethical that success is.

Well, the punishments might not be what we’d like, but when you’ve presented yourself as a winner, and thumbed your nose at everyone and everything, the collapse of all your success is nothing to sneeze at.

Even horrible people like, say, Sheldon Adelson know that there are limits to how horrible you can be, and to whom. Shkreli and Rage Furby don’t seem to know that, and as a result, they don’t appear to have any friends who’ll rally to their defense. And there’s a lot of hubris in both, to think they could keep getting away with increasingly bad behavior.

Overall, however, it is true that there’s no reason to expect kharmic payback for most of those who seem to deserve it.

what makes them conservatives talk so funny?

This ripe nugget from Trump needs more attention than it seems to have gotten:

washingtonpost.com

A sample:

“Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I would — in a heartbeat,” Trump said to loud cheers during a rally at a convention center here Monday night that attracted thousands. “And I would approve more than that. Don’t kid yourself, folks. It works, okay? It works. Only a stupid person would say it doesn’t work.”

Trump said such techniques are needed to confront terrorists who “chop off our young people’s heads” and “build these iron cages, and they’ll put 20 people in them and they drop them in the ocean for 15 minutes and pull them up 15 minutes later.”

“It works,” Trump said over and over again. “Believe me, it works. And you know what? If it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway, for what they’re doing. It works.”

So the GOP front runner is on the record as approving of torture for the hell of it, “even if it doesn’t work”.

Well, that would be murder, Mr. Trump.

That is what Trump is saying the terrorists are doing, not what he is proposing.

It’s an easy mistake.

re: #257 EPR-radar

I suppose he has as much documentation on that claim as he does on the 9/11 New Jersey celebrations?

His hair is controlling his mouth.

crucify all terrorists, muslims, liberals, and illegal aliens on crosses 15 feet apart between here and rome?

re: #241 ObserverArt

Geeez. It’s just a joke. An image. I’m not a serious political spokesman, new journalist, etc. and only some pixels were harmed.

Not picking on you. I think there are Hillary supporters who genuinely believe this, though.

Exactly. So let extradition proceedings against American bigots begin!

Just like there are some Sanders supporters if you listen to them you would think that Hillary is farther right than Cruz.
