“The politics of “nation-building” have been tricky for Republicans in recent years. In 2000, then-Gov. George W. Bush denounced the very idea as an inappropriate use of U.S. resources, telling voters in a presidential debate, “I’m not so sure the role of the United States is to go around the world and say, ‘This is the way it’s got to be.’”
After launching two wars in the Middle East, the Republican discovered how much he loved nation-building after all.
But at least with Bush, there were a couple of years in between his contradictory positions. Today on Fox News, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), in describing his approach to U.S. policy towards Iraq, seemed to support and oppose nation-building at the same time (via Hunter Walker).
RUBIO: “[T]he most immediate responsibility we have [towards Iraq] is to help them build a functional government that can actually meet the needs of the people in the short- and long-term. And then ultimately, from that, we can hope it would spring a democracy…
FOX: “That sounds like nation-building. So you’re saying…”
RUBIO: “Well, it’s not nation-building. We are assisting them in building their nation.”
Well, that clears things up nicely, doesn’t it? Rubio isn’t on board with nation-building, so much as he supports the United States using its resources to help build nations. Got it…
…But just as important from an electoral perspective, this is just the latest in a series of instances in which Rubio has struggled to talk about Iraq – and foreign policy in general.
For example, Rubio has contradicted himself on whether he would have launched an invasion of Iraq in the first place, and when pressed, the senator was reduced to, “I don’t understand the question.”

From voter rights to migratory bird rights. The GOP congress suspends 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act but why…..?
If you were thinking to reduce oil company fines you’d be correct. But it’s not just about the fine, it’s open season on not just migratory birds but endangered birds too…
That’s an old act, when will the guns act be suspended?

McKinney TX has a homeless shelter where Bush spoke and charged $100 thousand dollars(Shameless B*ST*RD… http://www.mediaite.com/online/report-george-bush-charged-100k-to-speak-at-homeless-shelter-fundraiser/
Politico’s Michael Kruse decided to investigate how Clinton’s successor was doing on what Gerald Ford called the “mashed potato circuit.” The answer: pretty damn well, though exact figures proved suspiciously difficult to track down.
By 2011 President George W Bush “had given some 140 talks, for at least $15 million,” Kruse wrote, noting the trail of information dried up after that. Kruse found that Bush’s customary speaking fee fluctuated between $100,000 and $175,000, and may have gone higher.
At one point, Bush charged $100,000 to speak at a fundraiser for a McKinney homeless shelter:
“We paid his regular fee,” Lynne Sipiora told POLITICO. She’s the executive director of the Samaritan Inn, a homeless shelter in McKinney, Texas. “Which is $100,000.”
McKinney(Dallas suburb), TX is also where this white cop uses profanity, F word, God D*mn, etc…multiple times, pulls gun(for intimidation) at teenagers swimming pool party and slammed a thin black female wearing a bikini to the sidewalk/ground.

Pool party host: Racist white people started McKinney melee before calling police on black kids
Neighbors are defending police who chased black teenagers at gunpoint and tackled a girl wearing a bikini after breaking up a party at a community pool over the weekend in McKinney, Texas.
But one homeowner and her daughter say those neighbors confronted some teens when they went outside and began taunting them and their guests with racial slurs before starting a fight.

White Crazed Racist Cop(Casebolt) Was Accused of Racial Bias & Pulling Down a Black Man’s Pants in a Federal Lawsuit
Casebolt Has Added the Pool Party Video to a ‘Training’ List on His YouTube Account…
He Is a Navy Veteran & Has ‘Experience in the Use of All Levels of Force’
In the video, Casebolt looked like a CHICKEN(Running Around Waving a Gun with his) HEAD Cut Off to me. What an EGGHEAD the white crazed racist cop Casebolt must be!!!
Albert E. Brown Jr. accused Casebolt of reaching into his “private area” and pulling his pants “down below ankles” during the traffic stop.
Brown was parked on the wrong side of a road in McKinney, according to the civil complaint. Casebolt told Brown he was going to write him a ticket for the traffic offense, but then said he saw two marijuana seeds and an open container in the car. Brown said Casebolt remarked about the “white girls” who were with him, made comments about him and his clothes, and then grabbed his private are and pulled his pants down.
Brown also claimed in the lawsuit that another officer, Lee Keith, slammed his head into the hood of the car repeatedly. He said Keith held him while Casebolt pulled his pants down. Another officer, who is not named in the lawsuit, allegedly spread his legs while one of the officers shined a flashlight in his anus.”

White Crazed Racist Cop Shouts…”On Your Face” then proceeded to slam her face into the ground. I’m sorry but what does “On Your Face” mean? Was the 14/15 year old teenage black female suppose to stand on her face or throw her own face into the ground? I guess so because immediately after the White Crazed Racist Cop slammed the teenage girls face into the ground.
Grace Stone(a white teenage girl at the party) said the older woman(parent/homeowner) told the black thildren at the party to “Go Back to your Section 8 Housing.” The elders and cops turned this into a racial incident.

3 years trapped on Riker’s Island without being convicted. Judge says…”Plead gullty and you can go home” but the innocent teenager refused to do so. He never received a speedy trial and was assaulted by prison guards at Rikers(CAUGHT on VIDEO but nobody held accountable) and learned there wasn’t any justice within the system, only injustice.
April 14, 2015 http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/kalief-browder-and-a-change-at-rikers
“Last year, Kalief Browder allowed me to interview him many times about his experience in the New York City criminal-justice system. At sixteen, he had been arrested in the Bronx for a robbery that he insisted he hadn’t committed. He endured three years on Rikers Island before his case was dismissed. When I met him, a year ago, he was out of jail and not eager to revisit his time there—but ultimately he did, describing what it was like to spend months in solitary confinement, to miss the last two years of high school, to become so despondent that he tied his bedsheets into a noose.”
Oct. 6th, 2010 http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/06/before-the-law
“In the early hours of Saturday, May 15, 2010, ten days before his seventeenth birthday, Kalief Browder and a friend were returning home from a party in the Belmont section of the Bronx. They walked along Arthur Avenue, the main street of Little Italy, past bakeries and cafés with their metal shutters pulled down for the night. As they passed East 186th Street, Browder saw a police car driving toward them. More squad cars arrived, and soon Browder and his friend found themselves squinting in the glare of a police spotlight. An officer said that a man had just reported that they had robbed him. “I didn’t rob anybody,” Browder replied. “You can check my pockets.
In order for a trial to start, both the defense attorney and the prosecutor have to declare that they are ready; the court clerk then searches for a trial judge who is free and transfers the case, and jury selection can begin. Not long after Browder was indicted, an assistant district attorney sent the court a “Notice of Readiness,” stating that “the People are ready for trial.” The case was put on the calendar for possible trial on December 10th, but it did not start that day. On January 28, 2011, Browder’s two-hundred-and-fifty-eighth day in jail, he was brought back to the courthouse once again. This time, the prosecutor said, “The People are not ready. We are requesting one week.” The next court date set by the judge—March 9th—was not one week away but six. As it happened, Browder didn’t go to trial anytime that year. An index card in the court file explains:
June 23, 2011: People not ready, request 1 week.
August 24, 2011: People not ready, request 1 day.
November 4, 2011: People not ready, prosecutor on trial, request 2 weeks.
December 2, 2011: Prosecutor on trial, request January 3rd.
The Bronx courts are so clogged that when a lawyer asks for a one-week adjournment the next court date usually doesn’t happen for six weeks or more. As long as a prosecutor has filed a Notice of Readiness, however, delays caused by court congestion don’t count toward the number of days that are officially held to have elapsed. Every time a prosecutor stood before a judge in Browder’s case, requested a one-week adjournment, and got six weeks instead, this counted as only one week against the six-month deadline. Meanwhile, Browder remained on Rikers, where six weeks still felt like six weeks—and often much longer.
Like many defendants with court-appointed lawyers, Browder thought his attorney was not doing enough to help him. O’Meara, who works mostly in the Bronx and in Westchester County, never made the trip out to Rikers to see him, since a visit there can devour at least half a day. To avoid this trek, some lawyers set up video conferences at the Bronx courthouse with their clients who are in jail. O’Meara says he’s “pretty sure” he did this with Browder, but Browder says he never did. Court papers suggest a lawyer in a hurry: in the fall of 2010, O’Meara filed a notice with the court in which he mistakenly wrote that he would soon be making a motion on Browder’s case in “Westchester County Court,” instead of in the Bronx.
New York City pays lawyers like O’Meara (known locally as “18-B attorneys”) seventy-five dollars an hour for a felony case, sixty dollars for a misdemeanor. O’Meara handles all types of cases, from misdemeanors to homicides. When I met him, earlier this year, he was eating a hamburger and drinking coffee at a diner in Brooklyn after an appearance at a courthouse there. He was about to take the subway back to the Bronx, and his briefcase was bulging with papers. He told me that Browder, compared with some of his other clients, “was quiet, respectful—he wasn’t rude.” He also noted that, as the months passed, his client looked “tougher and bigger.”
Most of the time, however, Browder had no direct contact with O’Meara; the few times he tried to phone him, he couldn’t get through, so he was dependent on his mother to talk to O’Meara on his behalf. Every time Browder got the chance, he asked O’Meara the same question: “Can you get me out?” O’Meara says that he made multiple bail applications on his client’s behalf, but was unsuccessful because of the violation of probation. Meanwhile, other inmates advised Browder to tell his lawyer to file a speedy-trial motion—a motion to dismiss the case, because it hadn’t been brought to trial within six months. But, with so many one-week requests that had turned into six-week delays, Browder had yet to reach the six-month mark.
For a defendant who is in jail, the more a case drags on the greater the pressure to give up and plead guilty. By early 2012, prosecutors had offered Browder a deal—three and a half years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea. He refused. “I want to go to trial,” he told O’Meara, even though he knew that if he lost he could get up to fifteen years in state prison. Stories circulate on Rikers about inmates who plead guilty to crimes they didn’t commit just to put an end to their ordeal, but Browder was determined to get his day in court. He had no idea how rare trials actually are. In 2011, in the Bronx, only a hundred and sixty-five felony cases went to trial; in three thousand nine hundred and ninety-one cases, the defendant pleaded guilty…”

“Earlier in the afternoon, Next Generation Action Network president Minister Dominique Alexander demanded Casebolt be charged with assault and not be simply allowed to resign from the department on Wednesday, in a news conference outside the McKinney Police Department.
Next said they will not give up and will continue to push for the district attorney to charge Casebolt in the case. Additionally, they are asking that the woman seen in the video assaulting a child also be charged.
Following Next’s statement, speakers with the Dallas Chapter of the NAACP, the Nation of Islam and Black Lawyers for Justice all called for more action to be taken against the former police officer.
Pamela Means, with the National Bar Association, the nation’s oldest and largest national association of predominantly black lawyers, judges, educators and law students, spoke last and questioned the department’s training and why Casebolt, who they said was a training officer, reacted the way he did.
Means is pushing for legislation making it a felony for police officers to not restrain other officers using excessive force.”

“COLMES: Are you proud of what Rand Paul has done?
GREENWALD: I think he did a positive thing. He provoked a debate that in Washington has been sorely lacking over the last 14 years which is the extent to we want to give up our civil liberties in the name of a threat, terrorism, that has proven to be far less than it’s been made out to be.
********* GREENWALD: I think the fear of terrorism has been exploited in all kinds of venues and it’s a really potent motivator. I mean human beings are just biologically are driven by fear of things they consider to be dangerous and so until we start thinking more rationally about the terrorist threat, it will be really hard for any politician, even the ones who want to do it, unlike Obama, to actually make progress.”
…
GREENWALD: Here you have somebody, Jeb Bush, a sort of standard issue Republican, defending the right of the federal government to collect records on everybody with whom we are communicating, is intrinsically abusive for the government to monitor and keep track of what innocent people who are doing nothing wrong are doing. That is mass surveillance that we always considered a hallmark of tyranny.”

While CNN covered the white crazed racist cop Eric NutCasebolt very well Fox Tabloid NUTTYNEWS was STILL covering/exonerating the Duggars(Josh) and claiming someone else broke the law leaking the Josh Duggar story.

Megyn Kelly Has Interesting Criteria For Which Teens Are ‘Saints’ http://www.thesuperficial.com/megyn-kelly-mckinney-police-girl-no-saint-either-daily-show-06-2015
“Megyn Kelly spent not one, but two prime time specials letting America’s #1 clown car vagina circus work with Mike Huckabee’s advisors – So that’s what went wrong. – to exonerate Josh Duggar’s actions and slam the media for “revictimizing” victims. So you’d assume Megyn is in the business of giving 15-year-olds a fair shake especially ones that are the victims of racial attacks by the police in McKinney, Texas. Via Raw Story:
“The girl was no saint, either,” Kelly said of Dajerria Becton. “He had told her to leave, and she continued to linger. When a cop tells you to leave, get out.”
Kelly did not mention that, according to Becton, she was in the process of complying with Casebolt’s order when he violently took her down after being called to the scene of a pool party.
Oh, damn, girl, Megyn Kelly just Trayvon Martin’d your arse! And by Trayvon Martin’d your arse, I mean Megyn Kelly used Trayvon Martin’s juvenile record to smear him, yet still joined the Duggars in their fight to protect juvenile records from public scrutiny because they’re not black like you.”

“Duggars” “Duggars” and more “Duggars”
The Duggars are a freakshow. Some lost and hopeless people watch them in idolization. Many people watch them because they are a freakshow. Comparing the Duggars to whatever contrived-hero-of-the-day you are pushing simply reminds everyone that you are pushing an opposite-yet-equal freak… and you, as a person, are little different than the lost and hopeless people who champion the Duggars.
You should also keep in mind Trayvon’s past record of violence and delinquency had direct bearing on current criminal activity. Had Josh Duggar been accused of current sexual crimes, his history may have also been important. The comparison between Trayvon and Josh is nice rhetoric, but it is a false comparison.
Teens do stupid things… and if they are caught, they should be punished… as, among other reasons, a deterrent to both them and other teens considering the same action. If they somehow slip by and leave their teenage foolishness behind them on their own, it is likely best for everyone if, apart from restitution, the past stays in the past in many cases.

Tahera Ahmad claimed that on a flight from Chicago to Washington, D.C., a flight attendant refused to give her a requested unopened can of diet Coke, responding, “Well, I’m sorry I just can’t give you an unopened can so no Diet Coke for you.”
Ahmad claimed that when she asked why, the flight attendant told her it could be used as a weapon, adding that another passenger “looked me straight in the eyes and said, ‘yes you know you would use it as a weapon’” and told her to shut up.
Pool party host: Racist white people started McKinney melee before calling police on black kids
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/party-host-racist-white-people-started-mckinney-melee-before-calling-police-on-black-kids
Neighbors are defending police who chased black teenagers at gunpoint and tackled a girl wearing a bikini after breaking up a party at a community pool over the weekend in McKinney, Texas.
But one homeowner and her daughter say those neighbors confronted some teens when they went outside and began taunting them and their guests with racial slurs before starting a fight.
I made a separate threat in the Forums for the pool party story at this link.
White Crazed Racist Cop(Casebolt) Was Accused of Racial Bias & Pulling Down a Black Man’s Pants in a Federal Lawsuit
Casebolt Has Added the Pool Party Video to a ‘Training’ List on His YouTube Account…
He Is a Navy Veteran & Has ‘Experience in the Use of All Levels of Force’
In the video, Casebolt looked like a CHICKEN(Running Around Waving a Gun with his) HEAD Cut Off to me. What an EGGHEAD the white crazed racist cop Casebolt must be!!!

“Federal court documents show that Casebolt and other officers were sued in 2008 in federal court for racial profiling, harassment, failure to render aid and sexual assault.
Albert E. Brown Jr. accused Casebolt of reaching into his “private area” and pulling his pants “down below ankles” during the traffic stop.
Brown was parked on the wrong side of a road in McKinney, according to the civil complaint. Casebolt told Brown he was going to write him a ticket for the traffic offense, but then said he saw two marijuana seeds and an open container in the car. Brown said Casebolt remarked about the “white girls” who were with him, made comments about him and his clothes, and then grabbed his private are and pulled his pants down.
Brown also claimed in the lawsuit that another officer, Lee Keith, slammed his head into the hood of the car repeatedly. He said Keith held him while Casebolt pulled his pants down. Another officer, who is not named in the lawsuit, allegedly spread his legs while one of the officers shined a flashlight in his anus.”
White Crazed Racist Cop Shouts…”On Your Face” then proceeded to slam her face into the ground. I’m sorry but what does “On Your Face” mean? Was the 14/15 year old teenage black female suppose to stand on her face or throw her own face into the ground? I guess so because immediately after the White Crazed Racist Cop slammed the teenage girls face into the ground.
Grace Stone(a white teenage girl at the party) said the older woman(parent/homeowner) told the black thildren at the party to “Go Back to your Section 8 Housing.” The elders and cops turned this into a racial incident.
Beige shirted fat white man(sided with cops) stands directly over bikini clad black female’s head(his crotch) and rubs his balls/penis on her head.
3 years trapped on Riker’s Island without being convicted. Judge says…”Plead gullty and you can go home” but the innocent teenager refused to do so. He never received a speedy trial and was assaulted by prison guards at Rikers(CAUGHT on VIDEO but nobody held accountable) and learned there wasn’t any justice within the system, only injustice.

“Last year, Kalief Browder allowed me to interview him many times about his experience in the New York City criminal-justice system. At sixteen, he had been arrested in the Bronx for a robbery that he insisted he hadn’t committed. He endured three years on Rikers Island before his case was dismissed. When I met him, a year ago, he was out of jail and not eager to revisit his time there—but ultimately he did, describing what it was like to spend months in solitary confinement, to miss the last two years of high school, to become so despondent that he tied his bedsheets into a noose.”
Oct. 6th, 2010
http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/06/before-the-law
“In the early hours of Saturday, May 15, 2010, ten days before his seventeenth birthday, Kalief Browder and a friend were returning home from a party in the Belmont section of the Bronx. They walked along Arthur Avenue, the main street of Little Italy, past bakeries and cafés with their metal shutters pulled down for the night. As they passed East 186th Street, Browder saw a police car driving toward them. More squad cars arrived, and soon Browder and his friend found themselves squinting in the glare of a police spotlight. An officer said that a man had just reported that they had robbed him. “I didn’t rob anybody,” Browder replied. “You can check my pockets.
In order for a trial to start, both the defense attorney and the prosecutor have to declare that they are ready; the court clerk then searches for a trial judge who is free and transfers the case, and jury selection can begin. Not long after Browder was indicted, an assistant district attorney sent the court a “Notice of Readiness,” stating that “the People are ready for trial.” The case was put on the calendar for possible trial on December 10th, but it did not start that day. On January 28, 2011, Browder’s two-hundred-and-fifty-eighth day in jail, he was brought back to the courthouse once again. This time, the prosecutor said, “The People are not ready. We are requesting one week.” The next court date set by the judge—March 9th—was not one week away but six. As it happened, Browder didn’t go to trial anytime that year. An index card in the court file explains:
June 23, 2011: People not ready, request 1 week.
August 24, 2011: People not ready, request 1 day.
November 4, 2011: People not ready, prosecutor on trial, request 2 weeks.
December 2, 2011: Prosecutor on trial, request January 3rd.
The Bronx courts are so clogged that when a lawyer asks for a one-week adjournment the next court date usually doesn’t happen for six weeks or more. As long as a prosecutor has filed a Notice of Readiness, however, delays caused by court congestion don’t count toward the number of days that are officially held to have elapsed. Every time a prosecutor stood before a judge in Browder’s case, requested a one-week adjournment, and got six weeks instead, this counted as only one week against the six-month deadline. Meanwhile, Browder remained on Rikers, where six weeks still felt like six weeks—and often much longer.
Like many defendants with court-appointed lawyers, Browder thought his attorney was not doing enough to help him. O’Meara, who works mostly in the Bronx and in Westchester County, never made the trip out to Rikers to see him, since a visit there can devour at least half a day. To avoid this trek, some lawyers set up video conferences at the Bronx courthouse with their clients who are in jail. O’Meara says he’s “pretty sure” he did this with Browder, but Browder says he never did. Court papers suggest a lawyer in a hurry: in the fall of 2010, O’Meara filed a notice with the court in which he mistakenly wrote that he would soon be making a motion on Browder’s case in “Westchester County Court,” instead of in the Bronx.
New York City pays lawyers like O’Meara (known locally as “18-B attorneys”) seventy-five dollars an hour for a felony case, sixty dollars for a misdemeanor. O’Meara handles all types of cases, from misdemeanors to homicides. When I met him, earlier this year, he was eating a hamburger and drinking coffee at a diner in Brooklyn after an appearance at a courthouse there. He was about to take the subway back to the Bronx, and his briefcase was bulging with papers. He told me that Browder, compared with some of his other clients, “was quiet, respectful—he wasn’t rude.” He also noted that, as the months passed, his client looked “tougher and bigger.”
Most of the time, however, Browder had no direct contact with O’Meara; the few times he tried to phone him, he couldn’t get through, so he was dependent on his mother to talk to O’Meara on his behalf. Every time Browder got the chance, he asked O’Meara the same question: “Can you get me out?” O’Meara says that he made multiple bail applications on his client’s behalf, but was unsuccessful because of the violation of probation. Meanwhile, other inmates advised Browder to tell his lawyer to file a speedy-trial motion—a motion to dismiss the case, because it hadn’t been brought to trial within six months. But, with so many one-week requests that had turned into six-week delays, Browder had yet to reach the six-month mark.
For a defendant who is in jail, the more a case drags on the greater the pressure to give up and plead guilty. By early 2012, prosecutors had offered Browder a deal—three and a half years in prison in exchange for a guilty plea. He refused. “I want to go to trial,” he told O’Meara, even though he knew that if he lost he could get up to fifteen years in state prison. Stories circulate on Rikers about inmates who plead guilty to crimes they didn’t commit just to put an end to their ordeal, but Browder was determined to get his day in court. He had no idea how rare trials actually are. In 2011, in the Bronx, only a hundred and sixty-five felony cases went to trial; in three thousand nine hundred and ninety-one cases, the defendant pleaded guilty…”

True Dat but let me add…
It’s “Unrealistic” for the GOP led congress/senate to complain about what’s happening in Iraq, Syria, etc…blaming Obama wile still(5 years) not debating/voting on War in Iraq/middle(name country here) east.

Shame on ya’ll white racist cop supporters!!!
McKinney Officer Apologizes, Girl’s Lawyer Wants Investigation to Continue
Civil rights groups push for criminal charges against former officer
http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Officers-Attorney-POA-Civil-Rights-Group-Issue-Statements-306799061.html
“Earlier in the afternoon, Next Generation Action Network president Minister Dominique Alexander demanded Casebolt be charged with assault and not be simply allowed to resign from the department on Wednesday, in a news conference outside the McKinney Police Department.
Next said they will not give up and will continue to push for the district attorney to charge Casebolt in the case. Additionally, they are asking that the woman seen in the video assaulting a child also be charged.
Following Next’s statement, speakers with the Dallas Chapter of the NAACP, the Nation of Islam and Black Lawyers for Justice all called for more action to be taken against the former police officer.
Pamela Means, with the National Bar Association, the nation’s oldest and largest national association of predominantly black lawyers, judges, educators and law students, spoke last and questioned the department’s training and why Casebolt, who they said was a training officer, reacted the way he did.
Means is pushing for legislation making it a felony for police officers to not restrain other officers using excessive force.”
Glenn Greenwald: ‘The Fear Of Terrorism Has Been Exploited’ = HYPED!!!
Terrorism HYPE Hyped by the “usual suspects”/Fox(Tabloid) NUTTYNews for 14 YEARS!!! When will it end? Why doesn’t GI Korea complain about this HYPE and only focus on supporting the so-called “hype” of white crazed/nutty racist cops who are NEVER criminally punished? Obviously, COP CAM whether on dashboard or wherever won’t matter.
OMG, the cops acting badly “HYPE” is just too much for me(GI KOREA).
But give GI KOREA more of the FEAR thy TERRORISM/TERRORISTS for 14 more years AND MORE by the “usual suspects” = FOX TABLOID NUTTYNEWS. That’s the kind of HYPE GI KOREA LIKES and never says anything about!!!
http://radio.foxnews.com/2015/06/09/greenwald-the-fear-of-terrorism-has-been-exploited/
“COLMES: Are you proud of what Rand Paul has done?
GREENWALD: I think he did a positive thing. He provoked a debate that in Washington has been sorely lacking over the last 14 years which is the extent to we want to give up our civil liberties in the name of a threat, terrorism, that has proven to be far less than it’s been made out to be.
********* GREENWALD: I think the fear of terrorism has been exploited in all kinds of venues and it’s a really potent motivator. I mean human beings are just biologically are driven by fear of things they consider to be dangerous and so until we start thinking more rationally about the terrorist threat, it will be really hard for any politician, even the ones who want to do it, unlike Obama, to actually make progress.”
…
GREENWALD: Here you have somebody, Jeb Bush, a sort of standard issue Republican, defending the right of the federal government to collect records on everybody with whom we are communicating, is intrinsically abusive for the government to monitor and keep track of what innocent people who are doing nothing wrong are doing. That is mass surveillance that we always considered a hallmark of tyranny.”
While CNN covered the white crazed racist cop Eric NutCasebolt very well Fox Tabloid NUTTYNEWS was STILL covering/exonerating the Duggars(Josh) and claiming someone else broke the law leaking the Josh Duggar story.
Of course Josh Duggar was/is innocent but the 14 year old black girl in a bikini who got beat down/assaulted by the white crazed racist cop Eric NUTCasebolt “isn’t a saint.”
Megyn Kelly Has Interesting Criteria For Which Teens Are ‘Saints’
http://www.thesuperficial.com/megyn-kelly-mckinney-police-girl-no-saint-either-daily-show-06-2015
“Megyn Kelly spent not one, but two prime time specials letting America’s #1 clown car vagina circus work with Mike Huckabee’s advisors – So that’s what went wrong. – to exonerate Josh Duggar’s actions and slam the media for “revictimizing” victims. So you’d assume Megyn is in the business of giving 15-year-olds a fair shake especially ones that are the victims of racial attacks by the police in McKinney, Texas. Via Raw Story:
“The girl was no saint, either,” Kelly said of Dajerria Becton. “He had told her to leave, and she continued to linger. When a cop tells you to leave, get out.”
Kelly did not mention that, according to Becton, she was in the process of complying with Casebolt’s order when he violently took her down after being called to the scene of a pool party.
Oh, damn, girl, Megyn Kelly just Trayvon Martin’d your arse! And by Trayvon Martin’d your arse, I mean Megyn Kelly used Trayvon Martin’s juvenile record to smear him, yet still joined the Duggars in their fight to protect juvenile records from public scrutiny because they’re not black like you.”
“Oh, damn, girl, Megyn Kelly just Trayvon Martin’d your arse!”
It’s so cute when Tbone talks ghetto.
“Duggars” “Duggars” and more “Duggars”
The Duggars are a freakshow. Some lost and hopeless people watch them in idolization. Many people watch them because they are a freakshow. Comparing the Duggars to whatever contrived-hero-of-the-day you are pushing simply reminds everyone that you are pushing an opposite-yet-equal freak… and you, as a person, are little different than the lost and hopeless people who champion the Duggars.
You should also keep in mind Trayvon’s past record of violence and delinquency had direct bearing on current criminal activity. Had Josh Duggar been accused of current sexual crimes, his history may have also been important. The comparison between Trayvon and Josh is nice rhetoric, but it is a false comparison.
Teens do stupid things… and if they are caught, they should be punished… as, among other reasons, a deterrent to both them and other teens considering the same action. If they somehow slip by and leave their teenage foolishness behind them on their own, it is likely best for everyone if, apart from restitution, the past stays in the past in many cases.
(Of course this issue is very complex and every situation is different… so there can be no one-size-fits-all policy… which is why we have judges.)
tbone was getting better and now he seems to have relapsed.
I blame the drugs.
A fire has been reported at the Koryo Hotel in Pyongyang. No word as of yet to the cause, and several foreigners have been arrested for taking pictures of the blaze. The heavy downpour of rain in Pyongyang is credited for helping contain the blaze.
No word if there will be rooms available at the Ryugyong Hotel.
