Regarding the atrocity in London today, as Muslims sometimes we are our own enemy a lot of times.

There have been responses by Muslims on social media that are leaning to the point of rationalization and justification. Their argument is as follows: “since your government just bombed a school in Aleppo and killed scores of people, do you expect no blowback in response?” /facepalm

Do these people not understand how they fucking look justifying something as insane as this? Ideally, we would just disregard them as the rants of a bunch of angry victimizing blowhards. But like it or not, the reality is that we have been under the microscope for well over a decade and a half, and you would figure by now that these hot-headed idiots would understand the gravity of their statements out on full display here. They need to ask themselves what do they accomplish with this. Are they making it better for anyone? Including those of Aleppo which they have no problem shamelessly exploiting for their own nefarious ends?

The people who were killed and maimed by the act of a ghastly Neantherthal here were innocent people who had to suffer from no fault of their own and had nothing to do with the actions (or inaction) in Aleppo and elsewhere in Syria.

Wish these hot-headed Muslims would stop excusing these acts of terror by pointing out what happened elsewhere to downplay what happened today. Attacks against innocent people is inexcusable. Period.

Yeah Trump makes Buchanan look competent. Hard to do.

Buchanan actually had extensive and real government experience before his election: served in the House, the Senate, Ambassador to Russia, and Secretary of State. He wasn’t handed the most powerful nation on earth, a country living in peace, with a growing economy and stock market, and no external existential crises. If he were handed Trump’s cards, he probably would have been a successful President.

Eric The Fruit Bat  Mar 22, 2017 • 6:44:55pm

Our fellow travellers at Balloon Juice make a very valid statement:

Adam L. Silverman: We Are at War. It is High Time That Our Leaders Begin Acting Like It!

ast July, when the hacking into the DNC became public knowledge, I wrote that we are at Cyber War. That what had happened was an act of war, though confined to the cyber domain. Today’s events are just the latest reinforcing example that we are at war, even if it is not formally declared. Russia has long believed that they were, at least, in a new cold war with the US and the West. Beyond that, however, is that Andrey Krutskikh, a senior advisor to Vladimir Putin, described the conflict this way:

According to notes of Krutskikh’s speech, he told his Russian audience: “You think we are living in 2016. No, we are living in 1948. And do you know why? Because in 1949, the Soviet Union had its first atomic bomb test. And if until that moment, the Soviet Union was trying to reach agreement with [President Harry] Truman to ban nuclear weapons, and the Americans were not taking us seriously, in 1949 everything changed and they started talking to us on an equal footing.”

Krutskikh continued, “I’m warning you: We are at the verge of having ‘something’ in the information arena, which will allow us to talk to the Americans as equals.”

Putin’s cyber adviser stressed to the Moscow audience the importance for Russia of having a strong hand in this new domain. If Russia is weak, he explained, “it must behave hypocritically and search for compromises. But once it becomes strong, it will dictate to the Western partners [the United States and its allies] from the position of power.”

Krutskikh’s comments may have been a precursor of a new doctrine for information operations announced publicly by the Kremlin in December. The senior administration official described the Russian strategy: “They think of information space as a domain of warfare. In the U.S, we tend to have a binary view of conflict — we’re at peace or at war. The Russian doctrine is more of a continuum. You can be at different levels of conflict, along a sliding scale.”

Read the whole thing…..

The violence in the small town of Rothschild began shortly after noon on Wednesday, after police were summoned to what they called a “domestic situation” at Marathon Savings Bank.

They say they arrived to find two people with gunshot wounds and the suspect gone. Authorities say a second shooting happened soon after at a law firm and a third at an apartment complex.

I think you are wrong. There will be a point where members of the GOP who aren’t complicit in any most of this will want to distance themselves from the worst of the information coming out. I think there will be a slow start and then a rather rapid slide.

Once again, just my opinion, but especially if the healthcare bill doesn’t even pass the House, I wonder if confirming Gorsuch will be the price of the GOP being willing to investigate Trump? If he isn’t getting them what they want, and there is a political risk to themselves, elected officials may be very willing to sacrifice Trump.

Have patience, Grasshopper.

When my granddad turned 75 back in the 1980s, my parents were casting around for a present for him. So they asked me. Scratch off lottery tickets had just been introduced in Texas, so I glibly said, “Buy granddad 75 scratch off tickets for 75 years” and didn’t really think they’d take that as a serious idea. To my surprise, they did and it was a great hit. My younger brother ended up doing most of the scratching off, but granddad did pick up a couple hundred dollars as a result.

I would say this: Democrats need to decide if he shouldn’t be in office, and this can include taking into account the fact that Trump’s under investigation. If enough of them decide to, then they need to fight to block him, period.

I know there’s a tradition of allowing the president to pick the SCOTUS justices, but that tradition ended in 2016.

re: #69 mmmirele

So why am I getting the sinking feeling that Trump is going to slither out of this as well, because there isn’t a single g-d Republican who is man or woman enough to put country over party and say WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION?

Just think of the hundreds of thousands of people over the life of this country who have given their life to protect and better this country. The ultimate sacrifice. No. I doubt you will find a single Republican who is willing to risk simply not getting re-elected to do what’s right for this country.

My belief is that Trump and Putin are brothers by another mother. Putin is by far the more successful brother. He is one of the richest, possibly the richest man in the world and he made his money the old-fashioned way: he stole it and crushed, imprisoned, tortured, and murdered anyone who stood in his way. Still does.

Donnie envies this with all his tiny heart. After all, he inherited a vast fortune but after a lifetime of shitty grifts and continual lies, cheats, and bullshit is worth maybe a hundredth of what his Russki bro has. His great ambition at this point in his ugly, piss-soaked existence is to come out of his presidency, whenever that may occur, with more than Putin has. To which goal he is perfectly happy to learn from, emulate, and ally with his thug hero. I mean, WTF is with naming an American kid Ivanka?

It’s Perry’s alma mater.

Aggies are really fucking weird about their school spirit at the best of times. This is an example of one of the worst times. A gay student gets elected student body president and Perry freaks out because conservative principles or something.

Maybe Rick Perry is really upset because the kid who got elected got an A in Meats.

Young Scientist Brilliantly Explains The Evidence Linking Vaccines To Autism

For almost 20 years, anti-vaccine advocates have claimed that vaccines cause autism, while medical professionals and an enormous amount of scientific research have shown that they do not. Though there doesn’t seem to be any reason to keep debating this issue, some people refuse to let it go.

Marco Arturo, a young man at the beginning of his scientific career, decided to tackle the issue head on, claiming that not only do vaccines cause autism, but he had a folder full of rock-solid evidence to prove it.

As he goes through his papers one by one, the evidence is hard to deny. The contents of his pages are very telling, and he saves the best for last.

Check out the video below:

Star Tribune: Mental clinic owned by Marcus Bachmann sanctioned for violating state rules
Clinic stirred up controversy during Michele Bachmann’s last campaign.

A Christian counseling center owned by the husband of former congresswoman Michele Bachmann violated a series of state rules governing patient treatment and client records, according to a state correction order released Tuesday.

Bachmann & Associates Inc., which does business as Counseling Care at clinics in Lake Emo and Burnsville, was cited for failing to keep information about its clients’ developmental condition, as well as failing to keep records demonstrating that clients were informed of treatment alternatives and possible outcomes, among other violations, the Minnesota Department of Human Services found.

No wonder why so-called Christians deserve the scorn heaped upon them-seems the secular rules only apply to others and not to them…..

Most people weren’t then, either, not for a long time. It was like turning an aircraft carrier.

Watergate, the break-in, was known, to people who played close attention (for instance, me, babe, as Van put it) well before the election in which Nixon won 49 states. Most people didn’t know. It took another year and a half to get the bastard to quit, and he did so when the unofficial head of the Republican Party, Barry Goldwater, told him the jig was up. Media does move faster now, and if the Republicans come to think Trump will be on his way out in 2018, an election year, they’ll likely try to throw him under the bus in the next six months. God knows how they’ll spin it for the election, but I think they’ll soon know they’re screwed.
