Seems logical. You have a contraption that you purchase and use responsibly as a hobby, but when you use it irresponsibly or unlawfully, causing injury or death, we have you registered and linked to your contraption. So, why can we do that with all private drones, which to date have killed no one as far as I can tell, but not with all guns, which kill over 32,000 Americans per year?
I bring this up because people watching the movie “Maze Runner” in a Kansas theater a couple weeks ago suddenly heard a loud pop. It was a gunshot, followed by what local news reports said was a man yelling, “Oh my God, I just shot myself! I just got my concealed and carry!” The story notes that a state law recently went into effect allowing gun owners to conceal and carry without training or a permit.
Yes, we should revisit the Second Amendment but, until then, maybe a little nibbling around the edges wouldn’t hurt. Having a national registry where all guns are linked to their owners – like we now apparently do with drones – and requiring training before you can become one of those concealed-carry “good guys with a gun” seems reasonable.

“You can have my drone controller when you pry it from my cold, dead hand. The evil, meddling, freedom-hating federal government announced recently that hobbyists who fly those camera-mounted drones must register them or face penalties.
The problem has been that idiots flying camera drones have interfered with certain law enforcement and rescue activities and have had close calls with airplanes. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx says, “Finding the drone has not been as much of a problem as finding the person who was using the drone,” and added that mandatory registration will provide “information to trace back to the user.”

Limbaugh and GOPers Alternative Universe…
‘Limbaugh Takes Credit For Conservative Media Revolution And Blames Democrats For Divisiveness’
The man who’s been hammering away at liberals for three hours a day since 1988, telling the world how horrible the left is, blames the people he’s spent all his time denouncing for dividing America. Rush Limbaugh writes in the National Review: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/426529/rush-limbaugh-national-review-conservative-media-revolution
“…this has not been an AM-radio revolution exclusively; it has been a conservative-media revolution. And perhaps its greatest consequence has been the destruction of the Left’s national-media monopoly.”
As conservatives often do, Limbaugh plays the victim, even while bragging about his accomplishments:
“In 1995, Clinton, in a national address, tried to blame me for the Oklahoma City bombing. He spoke of “loud, angry voices in America,” a remark that was widely interpreted as a reference to me. The White House later made the incredible claim that Clinton had been talking about Michigan Militia shortwave-radio communications.”
Surely, it’s so not-divisive to hope your president fails.
“On January 16, 2009, the Wall Street Journal asked me to write 400 words on my hopes for the Obama presidency. I told them I needed only four: “I hope he fails.” A firestorm erupted, even among my friends. I stood by my words, proudly. It’s too bad they didn’t come true.”
At least he admits Obama didn’t live down to his wishes.
“I firmly believe that the conservative-media revolution has caused the liberal media to abandon any pretense of objectivity and fairness and actively advocate on the Left’s behalf. This has led in turn to the hyper-partisan nature of our politics today. When Republicans were perennial losers and happy about it, the media could stay hidden behind their wall of phony objectivity. But they were called out. Now there is a fierce competition for the hearts and minds of the American people, which the Left used to believe it owned.”
Rush Limbaugh advocating for objectivity is like Donald Trump advocating for humility.
“…it is not I, nor anyone else in conservatism, who is to blame for the partisanship in Washington. That is on the Democrats and the Left, for trying to destroy the traditions and institutions that have defined this country.”
No, Mr. Limbaugh, it is not “Democrats and the left” that tried to “destroy the traditions and institutions that have defined this country.” It’s Democrats and progressives who built them and defend them to this day against forces on the right that would tear them down.
Nice try!

I can agree with that. There are definitely bad cops out there. I believe they should all be wearing body cameras for accountability. Those who abuse the public trust should have to pay a heavier price than a normal civilian.
I do believe that welfare recipients should have surprise drug tests. Probably not 100% but maybe 10% at random monthly. Previous efforts have not produced results but if I recall, recipients were only tested if they answered yes to a question about taking drugs. This has been spoken of here before, I believe.

Tbone,
This was from the last open thread. I have copied it here for your convenience:
Hi Tbone,
I thought the military campaigns in Libya and Syria, aid for rebels in Syria, and Obama’s support for regime change in other nations were common knowledge, but if you require links I am happy to provide them.
As far as the U.S.’s global military buildup, that should probably best be looked at on an individual basis. If a country is an ally and wants or allows a U.S. military presence within their borders, and it provides an advantage to our country’s interests, I don’t see a problem with that. I believe South Korea fits into that category.
I haven’t seen you provide your thoughts on whether or not intervention in Libya or Syria was a good idea or what the U.S. or the people of those nations gained from our actions. If you did, could you direct me to the comment number, copy and paste it, or state it again? I am interested in your thoughts.

Video shows the last minutes of David Kassick, a 59-year-old man who was shot dead in February after fleeing from an officer who tried to pull him over for a routine traffic stop
Police Officer Lisa Mearkle’s Taser video: fatal shooting of David Kassick https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP-xXO1vuaw
“One day after a cop was cleared of murder charges in the shooting death of a 59-year-old unarmed man, shocking video of the fatal incident has been released to the public.
The nearly 3-minute video shows victim David Kassick fall to the snow-covered ground after Hummelston, Pennsylvania Police Officer Lisa Mearkle hit him with a taser and screamed at him to surrender.
While Kassick doesn’t appear to be putting up much of a fight, Mearkle continues to send electric shocks through the taser as the older man jerks in pain on the ground.”

The Fraternal Order of Police wants Quentin Tarantino to know, “We have a surprise for you.”
All cops aren’t bad aye? Well, I wouldn’t trust any one of these cops in this Washington, D.C. group of 330,000 cops to testify against me when they slander(lie) and threaten Quentin Tarantino.
“Tarantino has made a good living out of violence and surprise,” says Pasco. “Our offices make a living trying to stop violence, but surprise is not out of the question.”
The FOP, based in Washington, D.C., consists of more than 330,000 full-time, sworn officers. According to Pasco, the surprise in question is already “in the works,” and will be in addition to the standing boycott of Tarantino’s films, including his upcoming movie The Hateful Eight.
“Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element,” says Pasco. “Something could happen anytime between now and [the premiere]…
…The right time and place will come up and we’ll try to hurt him in the only way that seems to matter to him…,”
The coroner in Avoyelles parish says he was initially told by a crash scene investigator that city marshals were pursuing the driver because of an outstanding warrant, but Louisiana state police say they cannot find any warrant for Few, reports CBS News’ David Begnaud.
According to the Marksville Police Department, Few led four law enforcement officers on a short pursuit Tuesday night and stopped on a dead-end road.
“The initial statement to my investigators was that the vehicle was backing up, they feared for their lives and they started firing,” said Col. Michael Edmonson, head of the Louisiana State Police, which is leading the investigation.
CBS News has learned that the law enforcement officers fired as many as 18 rounds at the SUV.”

Black football players at Univ. of Missouri: We’ll sit out until white president resigns
😛 white president ❗ There will be both an open and closed conference today at U. of Missouri, we’ll see if the white president steps down or not ❓ Are these black football players more important than the white president? ❓ Why didn’t the white president ever do anything to stop racism on his mostly white campus ❓
http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/08/us/missouri-football-players-protest/index.html
(CNN)Black football players at the University of Missouri have joined calls demanding the ouster of the president of the state’s four-campus university system over alleged inaction against racism on campus.
About 30 players made their thoughts known Saturday night in a tweet posted by Missouri’s Legion of Black Collegians.
“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe “Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,” read the tweet. “We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience.”
The players’ move is the latest salvo in a spiraling debate over the experiences of African-American students at Missouri, who have complained of inaction on the part of school leaders in dealing with racism on the overwhelmingly white campus.
Black student leaders have complained of students openly using racial slurs and other incidents. In August, someone used feces to draw a swastika, drawing condemnation from black and Jewish student organizations.
One student is on a hunger strike demanding action. Graduate student Jonathan L. Butler started the hunger strike last week, demanding Wolfe’s removal.
He wrote Missouri officials that “students are not able to achieve their full academic potential because of the inequalities and obstacles they face,” according to the Missourian newspaper in Columbia. “In each of these scenarios, Mr. Wolfe had ample opportunity to create policies and reform that could shift the culture of Mizzou in a positive direction, but in each scenario, he failed to do so.”
On Sunday, Butler accused the school’s leadership of not caring for the student body.
“I’m in this because it’s that serious. We’re dealing with humanity here. And at this point, we can’t afford to continue to work with individuals who just don’t care for their constituents,” he told CNN.
“Regardless of what happens with my life, people are really starting these conversations that are necessary and that’s what’s going to bring about the change in the long term,” Butler said.
It’s not clear what repercussions, if any, could come to the football players if they refuse to play in Missouri’s next football game against Brigham Young University on November 14. Some have called for the students to lose their scholarships.
The school’s athletics department said Saturday that it supports the right of student athletes to “tackle these challenging issues.”
Head football coach Gary Pinkel seemed to be more direct, tweeting a photo Sunday of dozens of white and black students standing arm in arm with the message, “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”

I agree. The racism at the University of Missouri is blatant and out of control.
“Missouri’s student body is 77% white and 7% black, while 58 of the school’s 84 scholarship football players are African-American.”
In Missouri, 87% of the population is white… so it is obvious whites are underrepresented… possibly due to racism and discrimination. The Department of Justice should be investigating this shocking injustice.
Another disgusting display of racism is that a full 69% percent of the football team on scholarships is black. There is no excuse for this obvious racism against whites… and likely against whites with superior academic achievement who did not receive such scholarships.
I never realized the amount of racism at the University of Missouri, both in admissions and scholarship awards, and I agree with you, Tbone. Something has to be done about this.
Quotas to make sure whites are accurately represented, in admissions sports teams, and athletic scholarships, should be the first step this amazingly racist university president must institute to regain credibility.
Also, I am curious what these players are protesting against. The handful of articles I looked at spoke a lot about “racism” but were rather short on examples… with the only one being a swastika made of poop smeared on a wall… though if one looks at recent history, pretty much ALL of these overt displays of racism have actually been non-whites (or gays) “trying to raise awareness”… or, at least that’s what they claim after they get caught… which seems OK with everybody.
One black journalist clutched his pearls while writing of all the (unspecified) racism on university campuses and then, with a completely straight face and serious tone, went on to write:
“The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education has actually documented dozens of incidents of racism faced by black students and staff all across the country.”
OH MY GOD!
Dozens!
I wonder if they were all in the same decade?
Do they come in a carton like eggs?
According to the Department of Education, there are 4,726 Title IV degree-granting institutions. They are filled with people looking to document anything that even can be pretended to be slightly related to racism… and the best they can come up with are “dozens”.
@18, “Now race relations in America, and around the world will be perfect, and no one will ever complain about unfairness ever again.”
Oh I get it, you think since your above statement isn’t true then nobody should care about race relations just like Tim Wolfe 🙄
MTB Rider is a racist ❗
@17, “Another disgusting display of racism is that a full 69% percent of the football team on scholarships is black. There is no excuse for this obvious racism against whites… and likely against whites with superior academic achievement who did not receive such scholarships.”
It’s a football team you EGGHEAD and yeah, more young black students in football just might be better than white students in any given area/state 💡

Favorite Ex President of Americans is…
Americans Voted For Their Favorite Ex-President And Republicans Aren’t Going To Like The Results
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/11/09/americans-voted-for-their-favorite-ex-president-and-republicans-arent-going-to-like-the-results/
If you happen to catch a Republican debate this primary season you may notice that the only name mentioned more times than Jesus is Ronald Reagan. That’s a bit strange. The conservative president left office in 1988 with a spotty record, and the following decades of ballooning wealth inequality thanks to his “trickle down” economics plan have seen his legacy collapse. Despite it all, for a certain segment of the country, he’s practically a messianic figure.
But while ultra-conservatives bicker over who gets to call themselves the “next Reagan,” the rest of the country isn’t buying it. When asked who their favorite recent ex-president was, people from all political backgrounds overwhelmingly said…
…The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that 40 percent of American voters thought President ______________ had continued to have an incredibly positive impact on the world after his presidency. Ronald Reagan was 16 points behind, with ______________ just behind him. In yet another thing to keep Jeb up at night, his brother and father floundered at the bottom with just 6 points and 5 points, respectively. Apparently no one is impressed with George W.’s new interest in painting.”
That is a terrible thing… as it will disproportionately affect monority and Democratic voters.
…because monorities and Democrats are too stupid or/and lazy to do the exact same thing white Republicans must do when they vote.
That’s the message, right? Right?
Voter registration should be linked with tax returns. No representation without taxation. If you are not paying into the System, you don’t have enough skin in the game to earn a say.
That would make some nice changes quickly… as politicians would start representing the productive classes instead of the ignorant classes.

‘I Need Some Muscle’: University of Missouri Media Professor illegally KICKS OUT journalist from covering race demonstrations
[Robert Doyle and Ronald Chaney(Dick Chaney’s next of kin) “ascribe to a white supremacy version of the Asatru faith,” according to court documents. The FBI says Doyle held a meeting on September 27 at his Chesterfield home to discuss “shooting or bombing the occupants of black churches and Jewish synagogues.” The FBI says several vehicles were present at the home on that day, including one registered to Chaney.
The men were caught after an undercover agent posing as an illegal arms dealer made contact with the men. They ordered “an automatic weapon, explosives, and a pistol with a silencer,” according to the agency.]
Chaney met with the undercover agent on November 8 to finalize the purchase and was arrested. His accomplice, Doyle, was arrested later that same day.”

‘Russia is accused of a massive doping program, and may be banned from the Olympics’ http://qz.com/544906/russia-is-accused-of-a-massive-doping-program-and-may-be-banned-from-the-olympics/
“Russian athletes, coaches, and trainers—backed by the Russian government and the FSB intelligence agency(formerly KGB)—have run a massive and sophisticated covert doping scheme to dominate track and field competitions, according to an explosive report by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The disclosures appear to show the biggest doping scandal in athletics history.
“What made these allegations even more egregious was the knowledge that the government of the Russian Federation provides direct funding and oversight for the above institutions, thus suggesting that the federal government was not only complicit in the collusion, but that it was effectively a state-sponsored regime,” the report stated.
WADA’s 300 page report (pdf) is the result of a nearly yearlong investigation by an independent commission, inspired by a documentary made by German public broadcaster ARD. It detailed how Liliya Shobukhova, a former Chicago Marathon winner, worked together with Russian officials to bribe international sporting officials who had served her with a doping ban. It also named a half-dozen Russian coaches by name, and says they demanded payments from athletes to receive their performance-enhancing drugs.
The commission called on WADA to discredit a Moscow lab for its role in covering up test results, and to declare the Russian National Anti-Doping Agency and the All-Russian Athletics Federation as noncompliant. While the report says WADA is “limited” in the sanctions it can place on Russia, its authors call for the International Olympic Committee, which determines who can host and compete the Olympics, and the International Federation, which can suspend or expel nations from its federation, to review the findings and decide on appropriate actions.
Here are some of the allegations and details laid out by the WADA report:

The key piece of information is:
“The men were caught after an undercover agent posing as an illegal arms dealer made contact with the men.”
Let’s all be honest about what really happened.
Some hillbilly methhead got busted for something stupid. The cops told him something like, “You gotta give us something Jim-Bob or you are goin’ away for a long time and some big coon is gonna take a look at your toothless methmouth and find it all kinds of pretty.”
Jim-Bob gets scared and tells the cops who is trading their welfare card for cigarettes and beer, who has a stash of 7 or 8 Oxytotton pills they are trying to sell, who’s shed this one stolen boat motor is in.
“That ain’t enough to keep that pretty mouth of yours free of 12 long, sweet inches of veiny African diick, Jim-Bob. You are gonna have to do better than that.”
Jim-Bob thinks real hard looking for something he can twist into something the cops want to hear.
“Well these two old boys, Robert Doyle and Ronald Chaney, they is some of them white supremacists.”
“Ain’t no crime in hating black people, Jim-Bob. You are going to feel the same way about a week after they take notice or your pasty white azz and keep it good and full. There’s going to be more trains running in the shower room than Grand Central Station.”
“But they wuz talkin bout blowin up some of them black churches and shootin them some negoes and they was wishin they had some bombs.”
“Will you testify to that in court?”
“Hell, yeah.”
So the cops and the feds start eyeing the closet that holds all the tactical equipment and start screwing the fuses into the flashbangs and gassing up the MRAP.
Robert Doyle and Ronald Chaney have never had a pot to pizz in and their entire lives of failure are obviously all the fault of criminal blacks and money-grubbing Jews and chemtrails and CIA implants and aliens under the Denver airport… so when this guy bumps into them and starts talking about ni66ers and kikes, they hit it off real good… and, whatdoyaknow, he’s an “arms dealer” always happy to hook up his Aryan brothers with guns and bombs at prices that must be charity for the cause.
They don’t stop to think that there has been a real shortage of racist whites using machine guns on blacks and they can’t recall the last time anything black got blown up.
The feds out in the van on the other end of the wire are giggling every time these two agree to a new offer and jot down the additional charges in their notepad.
“You got silencers? Hell, yeah, we want one of them.”
“By the way, you wanted that machine gun barrel to be under 16 inches, right?”
After a while, they have enough on these guys to pad the statistics, make a good media report about “stopping yet another racist domestic terror attack where more funding will help focus the necessary efforts for this growing threat” and maybe some conspiracy charges that might actually stick in court if plea bargained down to misdemeanors “conspiracy to posses” since there were no guns, no bombs, no ability, no workable plot, and no real intentions until a completely manufactured stereotype of the non-existent Hollywood-only “Aryan arms dealer” came to them and ran his encouraging sales pitch… likely centered around ideas like, “You ain’t no puzzy like them Jewboys, are you” and “I got this bomb for sale cheap and if you pass this by, you must be one of them ni66erlovers.”
Like a young couple in Vegas on a timeshare sit, these two dummies agreed to buy everything just to make the sales pitch go away.
Then the SWAT team showed up covered in black nylon and yelling swear words.
And these two losers made the news.
And everyone from opportunistic politicians to Black Lives Matter will go on and on about how so many racist white domestic terrorists are killing blacks every day with illegal guns.
And a percentage of voters will actually believe it all.

“After the horrific massacre at Charleston’s historic black church, Americans are slowly realizing the threat posed by white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements. But few know that their presence has grown within one of the most powerful institutions in America: the US military.
According to the FBI, there are hundreds of white supremacists in the US army or in the veteran community. Some analysts even estimate the number is in the thousands. In America, 203 white supremacist “extremist cases” investigated by the Bureau from 2001 to 2008 involved veterans. The problem hasn’t gone away. Neo-Nazi veteran Wade Michael Page attacked six worshippers at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in 2012.
I spent a number of years investigating how neo-Nazis and white supremacists had infiltrated the US military, with very little push back from the Pentagon, which was desperate to keep the supply of troops flowing for the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
As part of my research, I spoke to veterans who had become white supremacists before service and joined to gain access to weapons and training, as well as veterans who had been radicalized after returning from the war.”

Operation Wetback praised by Trump
Trump Praises Eisenhower’s Deportation Program, Fails to Mention It Was Called “Operation Wetback”
The Donald praised Dwight Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” during Tuesday night’s debate, an inhumane policy that tossed people out of the country. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/11/10/trump_loves_eisenhower_deportation_program_operation_wetback.html
“Let me just tell you that Dwight Eisenhower. Good president. Great president. People liked him. I liked him. I Like Ike, right? The expression, ‘I like Ike.’ Moved 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country. Moved them just beyond the border, they came back. Moved them again beyond the border, they came back. Didn’t like it. Moved ‘em waaaay south, they never came back. Dwight Eisenhower. You don’t get nicer, you don’t get friendlier. They moved 1.5 million people out. We have no choice. We. Have. No. Choice.”
This was Operation Wetback, a 1954 initiative that saw undocumented immigrants packed into overcrowded trucks and buses—or boats resembling an “eighteenth century slave ship”—and transported to remote parts of the Mexican desert. Left with nothing, in the middle of nowhere, dozens of people caught up in Operation Wetback died of heat stroke.
And this is the policy Trump continually cites to prove he can exile 11 million undocumented immigrants from the U.S. “in a very humane way, a very nice way.”

Kevin D. Williamson on Yale’s Idiot Children:
“I understand why the idiot children at Yale are so sensitive. Really, I do. I sometimes list in my mind all of the poor, suffering people who get a raw deal in this life, and Yale students are always right at the top, with the Bangladeshi orphans and women traded by sex traffickers in Vietnam. Yale isn’t a safe space, Congo isn’t a safe space – it all makes sense, as long as you don’t expect it to make sense.
No, genocide isn’t a joke. I’m sure that the women and children being raped to death by Boko Haram appreciate that the idiot children at Yale are making stern faces and pumping their fists. As for me, I think that they’re clowns, and worse than that, really: They’re bad citizens, and defective people from defective families. They aren’t motivated by good will, but by fear: of the dawning realization that they, as people, aren’t really all that important, despite having been told all their lives how important they are.”

‘Trump Praises Eisenhower’s Deportation Program, Fails to Mention It Was Called “Operation Wetback”’
The full headline is…
Trump Praises Eisenhower’s Deportation Program, Fails to Mention It Was Called “Operation Wetback” because it was an operation to deport wetbacks which was an acceptable colloquialism for non-Americans entering the United States “by crossing the Rio Grande, which forms the border between Texas and Mexico, presumably by swimming or wading across the river and getting wet in the process.”
In other news, “wetback” was an acceptable term back when it was standard to notice that criminals entering the United States were actually undesirable… ergo, Operation Wetback was exactly what it was… an operation to get rid of wetbacks… the removal of which was a benefit to America.
Like everything undesirable, inferior, or disgusting, there was a linguistic evolution of wetback, illegal alien, illegal immigrant, undocumented worker, non-native resident, and a number of steps in between… which give few years of more pleasant-sounding English until reality catches up with the euphemism… but it all means the same thing… non-Americans illegally coming to America and sucking up resources with less contribution than consumption.
Other examples of rapid linguistic evolution on the euphemism treadmill are… mentally retarded, mentally handicapped, mentally impaired, mentally challenged, intellectually challenged, intellectually disabled, learning disabled, developmentally disabled, intellectually differently abled.
It is hard not to barf while writing this account of linguistic self-delusion.
So let’s pick a word with a common understanding of its meaning and use it without fake sugarcoating to pretend it is something better than it is… at least until kids on the playground figure out how they can use it as an insult.
As of now, wetback works for me. Retarded is OK. Negro is fine.
Operation Undocumented Non-native Immigrant Economic Migrant is a fine name…
…as long as they kick out all the fukking wetbacks and push their jobs onto those who are receiving transfer payments for economic assistance with compensation aid allowance relief… or whatever the fukk they call welfare these days to hide its true nature.
In other news…
“Tbone” has become a colloquialism for rectum-phelching ball-humming crying-quietly-over-mother-issues retard. It, too, needs a euphemism.
I suggest Perpendicular Skeletal Support Member. That really will make him sound better… at least until he touches his keyboard and puts his little insect thoughts out to the public.

Cops Taser Black Man to Death/Twenty Times in 30 minutes at hospital while shackled(against racist cop rules). Why did this black man deserve to die ❗ Cops originally took the black man to hospital then after tasered 20 times(3 times at once by 3 different cops) @ 50,000 volts per taser discharge = 150 volts in 5 seconds per nurse(s) witness. All 3 cops got promoted since incident and 2.5 years later cops finally releases video to family after civil charges were recently filed.(VIDEO) ❗ http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/driven-hospital-virginia-man-tased-shackled-and-dies-police-custody
“…One ordered him to “stay down;” another, Officer Bratton, told him, “Every time you get up, I’m going to pop you.”
Lambert told them, “I didn’t do nothing,” and can be heard moaning in the recording. The officers tell Lambert to lie down, stay down, get on his belly, and roll over – while warning they will taser him again.
“I’m going to light you up again – roll over, roll over, turn over!” Bratton says.
Lambert remained on the ground, saying OK, but the officers tased him again. They restrained his legs with shackles.
Then, as Lambert appears subdued on the video, the officers warned Lambert they would taser him again. “I’m going to hit you again,” Bratton tells him.
Then Lambert says, “I just did cocaine.”
For the first time that night, officers tell Lambert he is under arrest, calling it in for disorderly conduct and destruction of property.
Lambert pleads to the officers, “Why are you trying to kill me, man?,” and asks them to stop the tasing, saying, “don’t do it, please don’t do it, please officers…”

Two White Missouri Men Arrested For Online Threats To Shoot Blacks
A second Missouri man was arrested Wednesday after posting a threat against blacks online.
More white college students treating blacks badly ❗ http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/second-missouri-man-arrested-for-online-threat-to-shoot-black-people/
“Northwest Missouri State Unversity freshman Connor B. Stottlemyre was taken to jail on suspicion of making a terrorist threat after in connection to a post stating, “I’m gonna shoot any black people tomorrow, so be ready.” He had not been charged as of Wednesday evening.
The post was reported to authorities by another NMSU student who saw it on the Yik Yak phone app. The app allows users to post threads that can be seen within a five-mile radius.
Stottlemyre is 19, the same age as Hunter Park, who was arrested earlier in the day for using the same app to state, “I’m going to stand my ground tomorrow and shoot every black person I see.”

“While world leaders expressed support and empathy for the carnage, and French media put on a “master class in how to conduct responsible, measured journalism,” right-wing pundits dumped their sewage on the pages of Facebook and Twitter and on American news networks.
As French journalists made note of the many tweets and messages of well wishes from across the globe, conservatives competed with each other to say the most offensive idiotic things they could about the attacks, even while the violence was still unfolding in Paris streets.
ISIL is trying to bring on World War III and Conservatives are doing their bidding.
Islamic extremists are probably very happy to have so much help from Conservatives here in America. It was like a ‘who can be the worst person on Twitter’ last night — and it was a toss up.
Conservatives were blasted on social media for their remarks following the attacks.”

The Good Points of the Paris Terror Attack (with the lack of good things that will come from them)
Good: Yet another demonstration that the Eurotrash can keep their traps shut when lecturing Americans over gun control and killing sprees.
Bad: Eurotrash will ignore this and keep lecturing. Ameritrash will also ignore this and keep lecturing.
Good: Yet another demonstration that allowing the unchecked infusion of cultures that are hostile, inferior, and unwilling to assimilate is not a good idea.
Bad: Nobody will learn this. Everybody will act like the opposite is true. Europe will keep letting the invading army in through inaction. America will actively help the invading army.
Good: The Islamic communities will more appreciate the opportunities given to them by western countries and will wish to preserve them by standing against violence in their host nations. They will self-police and report militants and radicals so their communities will live in peace and comfort.
Bad: No, they won’t. They will continue to bite the hand that insists on feeding them… and credit themselves for the food.
Good: People will realize they need more personal responsibility in their daily lives… from situational awareness to making their voice heard so politicians will avoid the structural political and social issues that encourage disruption to functioning society.
Bad: No, they won’t. They will beg for more government intrusiveness, militarization, and restriction to give the appearance of helping solve problems that should not even exist.
Good: Everyone will understand why Korea likes to keep the riff-raff out.
Bad: No, they won’t. Cries of racism will get louder.
Seems logical. You have a contraption that you purchase and use responsibly as a hobby, but when you use it irresponsibly or unlawfully, causing injury or death, we have you registered and linked to your contraption. So, why can we do that with all private drones, which to date have killed no one as far as I can tell, but not with all guns, which kill over 32,000 Americans per year?
I bring this up because people watching the movie “Maze Runner” in a Kansas theater a couple weeks ago suddenly heard a loud pop. It was a gunshot, followed by what local news reports said was a man yelling, “Oh my God, I just shot myself! I just got my concealed and carry!” The story notes that a state law recently went into effect allowing gun owners to conceal and carry without training or a permit.
Yes, we should revisit the Second Amendment but, until then, maybe a little nibbling around the edges wouldn’t hurt. Having a national registry where all guns are linked to their owners – like we now apparently do with drones – and requiring training before you can become one of those concealed-carry “good guys with a gun” seems reasonable.

“You can have my drone controller when you pry it from my cold, dead hand. The evil, meddling, freedom-hating federal government announced recently that hobbyists who fly those camera-mounted drones must register them or face penalties.
The problem has been that idiots flying camera drones have interfered with certain law enforcement and rescue activities and have had close calls with airplanes. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx says, “Finding the drone has not been as much of a problem as finding the person who was using the drone,” and added that mandatory registration will provide “information to trace back to the user.”
Limbaugh and GOPers Alternative Universe…
‘Limbaugh Takes Credit For Conservative Media Revolution And Blames Democrats For Divisiveness’
The man who’s been hammering away at liberals for three hours a day since 1988, telling the world how horrible the left is, blames the people he’s spent all his time denouncing for dividing America. Rush Limbaugh writes in the National Review:
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/426529/rush-limbaugh-national-review-conservative-media-revolution
“…this has not been an AM-radio revolution exclusively; it has been a conservative-media revolution. And perhaps its greatest consequence has been the destruction of the Left’s national-media monopoly.”
As conservatives often do, Limbaugh plays the victim, even while bragging about his accomplishments:
“In 1995, Clinton, in a national address, tried to blame me for the Oklahoma City bombing. He spoke of “loud, angry voices in America,” a remark that was widely interpreted as a reference to me. The White House later made the incredible claim that Clinton had been talking about Michigan Militia shortwave-radio communications.”
Surely, it’s so not-divisive to hope your president fails.
“On January 16, 2009, the Wall Street Journal asked me to write 400 words on my hopes for the Obama presidency. I told them I needed only four: “I hope he fails.” A firestorm erupted, even among my friends. I stood by my words, proudly. It’s too bad they didn’t come true.”
At least he admits Obama didn’t live down to his wishes.
“I firmly believe that the conservative-media revolution has caused the liberal media to abandon any pretense of objectivity and fairness and actively advocate on the Left’s behalf. This has led in turn to the hyper-partisan nature of our politics today. When Republicans were perennial losers and happy about it, the media could stay hidden behind their wall of phony objectivity. But they were called out. Now there is a fierce competition for the hearts and minds of the American people, which the Left used to believe it owned.”
Rush Limbaugh advocating for objectivity is like Donald Trump advocating for humility.
“…it is not I, nor anyone else in conservatism, who is to blame for the partisanship in Washington. That is on the Democrats and the Left, for trying to destroy the traditions and institutions that have defined this country.”
No, Mr. Limbaugh, it is not “Democrats and the left” that tried to “destroy the traditions and institutions that have defined this country.” It’s Democrats and progressives who built them and defend them to this day against forces on the right that would tear them down.
Nice try!
JohnnyBoy do you think that it was a good thing(for Russia and/or Iran) that Vladimir Putin and Ali Khamenei went to college together?
That’s interesting, Tbone. I wonder if Putin and Khameini became close in that time.
They seem to be quite chummy these days with combined operations in Syria.
I don’t know if it’s good for Russia/ Iran or not.
JohnnyBoy do you think what Quentin Tarantino said about the police is bad?
JohnnyBoy do you think hopeful welfare recipients should be tested for drugs? Try for more than an “I don’t know.” DUH ❗
The only thing I saw that he said was something to the effect that if there is murder going on, it needs to be risen up against.
I can agree with that. There are definitely bad cops out there. I believe they should all be wearing body cameras for accountability. Those who abuse the public trust should have to pay a heavier price than a normal civilian.
I do believe that welfare recipients should have surprise drug tests. Probably not 100% but maybe 10% at random monthly. Previous efforts have not produced results but if I recall, recipients were only tested if they answered yes to a question about taking drugs. This has been spoken of here before, I believe.
Tbone,
This was from the last open thread. I have copied it here for your convenience:
Hi Tbone,
I thought the military campaigns in Libya and Syria, aid for rebels in Syria, and Obama’s support for regime change in other nations were common knowledge, but if you require links I am happy to provide them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/05/19/remarks-president-middle-east-and-north-africa
As far as the U.S.’s global military buildup, that should probably best be looked at on an individual basis. If a country is an ally and wants or allows a U.S. military presence within their borders, and it provides an advantage to our country’s interests, I don’t see a problem with that. I believe South Korea fits into that category.
I haven’t seen you provide your thoughts on whether or not intervention in Libya or Syria was a good idea or what the U.S. or the people of those nations gained from our actions. If you did, could you direct me to the comment number, copy and paste it, or state it again? I am interested in your thoughts.

“Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, would not go into any detail about what is being cooked up for the Hollywood director, but he did tell THR: “We’ll be opportunistic.”
“Tarantino has made a good living out of violence and surprise,” says Pasco. “Our offices make a living trying to stop violence, but surprise is not out of the question.”
The FOP, based in Washington, D.C., consists of more than 330,000 full-time, sworn officers. According to Pasco, the surprise in question is already “in the works,” and will be in addition to the standing boycott of Tarantino’s films, including his upcoming movie The Hateful Eight.
“Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element,” says Pasco. “Something could happen anytime between now and [the premiere]…
…The right time and place will come up and we’ll try to hurt him in the only way that seems to matter to him…,”
Louisiana Cop Fires Into Car, Kills Autistic 6-Year-Old
Marshalls in Marksville, LA fired into a fleeing car, wounding the father and killing his son.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/louisiana-police-investigate-city-marshals-fired-18-rounds-killed-autistic-6-year-old/
“Christopher Few and his autistic son, Jeremy Mardis, were shot Tuesday after a chase in the central Louisiana town of Marksville. Jeremy was killed by bullets intended to stop his father.
The coroner in Avoyelles parish says he was initially told by a crash scene investigator that city marshals were pursuing the driver because of an outstanding warrant, but Louisiana state police say they cannot find any warrant for Few, reports CBS News’ David Begnaud.
According to the Marksville Police Department, Few led four law enforcement officers on a short pursuit Tuesday night and stopped on a dead-end road.
“The initial statement to my investigators was that the vehicle was backing up, they feared for their lives and they started firing,” said Col. Michael Edmonson, head of the Louisiana State Police, which is leading the investigation.
CBS News has learned that the law enforcement officers fired as many as 18 rounds at the SUV.”
“Louisiana Cop Fires Into Car, Kills Autistic 6-Year-Old”
White Lives Matter!
Two non-white cops kill a white kid and shoot his white father for reasons that may be unconnected to law enforcement… and… and… nothing.
There is no screaming about race. There is no outrage over white kids getting blown away by cops. There is no DOJ press conference trying to manufacture reasons for federal charges…
…or presidential speeches about “If I had a plantation owner, his son would look like this”.
(That’s a joke)
The only interesting thing that came out of this is that Tbone was too high to check the facts before hyping this incident that goes counter to the Only White Cops Kill Black Kids narrative that he has been foisting upon us for so long.

Black football players at Univ. of Missouri: We’ll sit out until white president resigns
😛 white president ❗ There will be both an open and closed conference today at U. of Missouri, we’ll see if the white president steps down or not ❓ Are these black football players more important than the white president? ❓ Why didn’t the white president ever do anything to stop racism on his mostly white campus ❓
http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/08/us/missouri-football-players-protest/index.html
(CNN)Black football players at the University of Missouri have joined calls demanding the ouster of the president of the state’s four-campus university system over alleged inaction against racism on campus.
About 30 players made their thoughts known Saturday night in a tweet posted by Missouri’s Legion of Black Collegians.
“The athletes of color on the University of Missouri football team truly believe “Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere,” read the tweet. “We will no longer participate in any football related activities until President Tim Wolfe resigns or is removed due to his negligence toward marginalized students’ experience.”
The players’ move is the latest salvo in a spiraling debate over the experiences of African-American students at Missouri, who have complained of inaction on the part of school leaders in dealing with racism on the overwhelmingly white campus.
Black student leaders have complained of students openly using racial slurs and other incidents. In August, someone used feces to draw a swastika, drawing condemnation from black and Jewish student organizations.
One student is on a hunger strike demanding action. Graduate student Jonathan L. Butler started the hunger strike last week, demanding Wolfe’s removal.
He wrote Missouri officials that “students are not able to achieve their full academic potential because of the inequalities and obstacles they face,” according to the Missourian newspaper in Columbia. “In each of these scenarios, Mr. Wolfe had ample opportunity to create policies and reform that could shift the culture of Mizzou in a positive direction, but in each scenario, he failed to do so.”
On Sunday, Butler accused the school’s leadership of not caring for the student body.
“I’m in this because it’s that serious. We’re dealing with humanity here. And at this point, we can’t afford to continue to work with individuals who just don’t care for their constituents,” he told CNN.
“Regardless of what happens with my life, people are really starting these conversations that are necessary and that’s what’s going to bring about the change in the long term,” Butler said.
It’s not clear what repercussions, if any, could come to the football players if they refuse to play in Missouri’s next football game against Brigham Young University on November 14. Some have called for the students to lose their scholarships.
The school’s athletics department said Saturday that it supports the right of student athletes to “tackle these challenging issues.”
Head football coach Gary Pinkel seemed to be more direct, tweeting a photo Sunday of dozens of white and black students standing arm in arm with the message, “The Mizzou Family stands as one. We are united. We are behind our players.”
I agree. The racism at the University of Missouri is blatant and out of control.
“Missouri’s student body is 77% white and 7% black, while 58 of the school’s 84 scholarship football players are African-American.”
In Missouri, 87% of the population is white… so it is obvious whites are underrepresented… possibly due to racism and discrimination. The Department of Justice should be investigating this shocking injustice.
Another disgusting display of racism is that a full 69% percent of the football team on scholarships is black. There is no excuse for this obvious racism against whites… and likely against whites with superior academic achievement who did not receive such scholarships.
I never realized the amount of racism at the University of Missouri, both in admissions and scholarship awards, and I agree with you, Tbone. Something has to be done about this.
Quotas to make sure whites are accurately represented, in admissions sports teams, and athletic scholarships, should be the first step this amazingly racist university president must institute to regain credibility.
Also, I am curious what these players are protesting against. The handful of articles I looked at spoke a lot about “racism” but were rather short on examples… with the only one being a swastika made of poop smeared on a wall… though if one looks at recent history, pretty much ALL of these overt displays of racism have actually been non-whites (or gays) “trying to raise awareness”… or, at least that’s what they claim after they get caught… which seems OK with everybody.
One black journalist clutched his pearls while writing of all the (unspecified) racism on university campuses and then, with a completely straight face and serious tone, went on to write:
“The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education has actually documented dozens of incidents of racism faced by black students and staff all across the country.”
OH MY GOD!
Dozens!
I wonder if they were all in the same decade?
Do they come in a carton like eggs?
According to the Department of Education, there are 4,726 Title IV degree-granting institutions. They are filled with people looking to document anything that even can be pretended to be slightly related to racism… and the best they can come up with are “dozens”.
Everybody should be embarrassed.
Well, Tim Wolfe has stepped down. Now race relations in America, and around the world will be perfect, and no one will ever complain about unfairness ever again.

It’s a football team you EGGHEAD and yeah, more young black students in football just might be better than white students in any given area/state 💡
“I never realized the amount of racism at the University of Missouri, both in admissions and scholarship awards, and I agree with you, Tbone. Something has to be done about this.”
🙁 How many white students at Univ. of Missouri have minorities walking by saying you Mother F%*^@#$HONKY ❓
EGGHEAD is not only a racist but a dark racist ❗ He’s living in the GOP alternative universe 🙄
GI Korea should give credit where credit is due to Jonathan Butler, the student who went on a hunger strike until Tim Wolfe was gone and white students/players/coaches supporting the efforts of those(black students) to improve life for all at Univ. of Missouri. Now the Univ. of Missouri Chancellor will resign 😎

“New Jersey Governor Thug Christie finally got off his butt and did something about that pesky voting-rights legislation sitting on his desk. He vetoed it, because it simply wouldn’t do to have all those voters actually voting.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) vetoed legislation Monday that would have added 1.6 million new voters to the state’s rolls and made New Jersey the third state in the country to adopt automatic voter registration.
After sitting on the “Democracy Act” for almost five months, the governor and Republican presidential candidate vetoed his third voting rights-related bill in three years, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. Christie has previously said that he does not support making it easier for residents of his state to vote…”

Americans Voted For Their Favorite Ex-President And Republicans Aren’t Going To Like The Results
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/11/09/americans-voted-for-their-favorite-ex-president-and-republicans-arent-going-to-like-the-results/
If you happen to catch a Republican debate this primary season you may notice that the only name mentioned more times than Jesus is Ronald Reagan. That’s a bit strange. The conservative president left office in 1988 with a spotty record, and the following decades of ballooning wealth inequality thanks to his “trickle down” economics plan have seen his legacy collapse. Despite it all, for a certain segment of the country, he’s practically a messianic figure.
But while ultra-conservatives bicker over who gets to call themselves the “next Reagan,” the rest of the country isn’t buying it. When asked who their favorite recent ex-president was, people from all political backgrounds overwhelmingly said…
…The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, found that 40 percent of American voters thought President ______________ had continued to have an incredibly positive impact on the world after his presidency. Ronald Reagan was 16 points behind, with ______________ just behind him. In yet another thing to keep Jeb up at night, his brother and father floundered at the bottom with just 6 points and 5 points, respectively. Apparently no one is impressed with George W.’s new interest in painting.”
Quinnipiac University concluded:
“Chris Christie Vetoes Automatic Voter Registration”
That is a terrible thing… as it will disproportionately affect monority and Democratic voters.
…because monorities and Democrats are too stupid or/and lazy to do the exact same thing white Republicans must do when they vote.
That’s the message, right? Right?
Voter registration should be linked with tax returns. No representation without taxation. If you are not paying into the System, you don’t have enough skin in the game to earn a say.
That would make some nice changes quickly… as politicians would start representing the productive classes instead of the ignorant classes.
“That would make some nice changes quickly… as politicians would start representing the productive classes instead of the ignorant classes.”

Well, BONEHEAD? Are you ever going to tell us how you would deal with a feral child who won’t follow instructions in a classroom to put away a cell phone?
Or tell us if you support or oppose President Obama’s incestous lust for his daughters?

White Supremacists Arrested Plotting To Bomb Black Churches For Race War
Don’t white people ever grow out of it?
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/11/10/fbi-arrests-white-supremacists-plotting-to-bomb-black-churches-for-race-war/
“The FBI has arrested two Virginia-based white supremacists(EGGHEAD’S BLOOD RELATIVES) involved in an alleged plot to bomb black churches and provoke a “race war.”
[Robert Doyle and Ronald Chaney(Dick Chaney’s next of kin) “ascribe to a white supremacy version of the Asatru faith,” according to court documents. The FBI says Doyle held a meeting on September 27 at his Chesterfield home to discuss “shooting or bombing the occupants of black churches and Jewish synagogues.” The FBI says several vehicles were present at the home on that day, including one registered to Chaney.
The men were caught after an undercover agent posing as an illegal arms dealer made contact with the men. They ordered “an automatic weapon, explosives, and a pistol with a silencer,” according to the agency.]
Chaney met with the undercover agent on November 8 to finalize the purchase and was arrested. His accomplice, Doyle, was arrested later that same day.”

‘Russia is accused of a massive doping program, and may be banned from the Olympics’
http://qz.com/544906/russia-is-accused-of-a-massive-doping-program-and-may-be-banned-from-the-olympics/
“Russian athletes, coaches, and trainers—backed by the Russian government and the FSB intelligence agency(formerly KGB)—have run a massive and sophisticated covert doping scheme to dominate track and field competitions, according to an explosive report by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The disclosures appear to show the biggest doping scandal in athletics history.
“What made these allegations even more egregious was the knowledge that the government of the Russian Federation provides direct funding and oversight for the above institutions, thus suggesting that the federal government was not only complicit in the collusion, but that it was effectively a state-sponsored regime,” the report stated.
WADA’s 300 page report (pdf) is the result of a nearly yearlong investigation by an independent commission, inspired by a documentary made by German public broadcaster ARD. It detailed how Liliya Shobukhova, a former Chicago Marathon winner, worked together with Russian officials to bribe international sporting officials who had served her with a doping ban. It also named a half-dozen Russian coaches by name, and says they demanded payments from athletes to receive their performance-enhancing drugs.
The commission called on WADA to discredit a Moscow lab for its role in covering up test results, and to declare the Russian National Anti-Doping Agency and the All-Russian Athletics Federation as noncompliant. While the report says WADA is “limited” in the sanctions it can place on Russia, its authors call for the International Olympic Committee, which determines who can host and compete the Olympics, and the International Federation, which can suspend or expel nations from its federation, to review the findings and decide on appropriate actions.
Here are some of the allegations and details laid out by the WADA report:
READ the REST ~
Except that only blacks have been burning churches in America for the last few years.
The key piece of information is:
“The men were caught after an undercover agent posing as an illegal arms dealer made contact with the men.”
Let’s all be honest about what really happened.
Some hillbilly methhead got busted for something stupid. The cops told him something like, “You gotta give us something Jim-Bob or you are goin’ away for a long time and some big coon is gonna take a look at your toothless methmouth and find it all kinds of pretty.”
Jim-Bob gets scared and tells the cops who is trading their welfare card for cigarettes and beer, who has a stash of 7 or 8 Oxytotton pills they are trying to sell, who’s shed this one stolen boat motor is in.
“That ain’t enough to keep that pretty mouth of yours free of 12 long, sweet inches of veiny African diick, Jim-Bob. You are gonna have to do better than that.”
Jim-Bob thinks real hard looking for something he can twist into something the cops want to hear.
“Well these two old boys, Robert Doyle and Ronald Chaney, they is some of them white supremacists.”
“Ain’t no crime in hating black people, Jim-Bob. You are going to feel the same way about a week after they take notice or your pasty white azz and keep it good and full. There’s going to be more trains running in the shower room than Grand Central Station.”
“But they wuz talkin bout blowin up some of them black churches and shootin them some negoes and they was wishin they had some bombs.”
“Will you testify to that in court?”
“Hell, yeah.”
So the cops and the feds start eyeing the closet that holds all the tactical equipment and start screwing the fuses into the flashbangs and gassing up the MRAP.
Robert Doyle and Ronald Chaney have never had a pot to pizz in and their entire lives of failure are obviously all the fault of criminal blacks and money-grubbing Jews and chemtrails and CIA implants and aliens under the Denver airport… so when this guy bumps into them and starts talking about ni66ers and kikes, they hit it off real good… and, whatdoyaknow, he’s an “arms dealer” always happy to hook up his Aryan brothers with guns and bombs at prices that must be charity for the cause.
They don’t stop to think that there has been a real shortage of racist whites using machine guns on blacks and they can’t recall the last time anything black got blown up.
The feds out in the van on the other end of the wire are giggling every time these two agree to a new offer and jot down the additional charges in their notepad.
“You got silencers? Hell, yeah, we want one of them.”
“By the way, you wanted that machine gun barrel to be under 16 inches, right?”
After a while, they have enough on these guys to pad the statistics, make a good media report about “stopping yet another racist domestic terror attack where more funding will help focus the necessary efforts for this growing threat” and maybe some conspiracy charges that might actually stick in court if plea bargained down to misdemeanors “conspiracy to posses” since there were no guns, no bombs, no ability, no workable plot, and no real intentions until a completely manufactured stereotype of the non-existent Hollywood-only “Aryan arms dealer” came to them and ran his encouraging sales pitch… likely centered around ideas like, “You ain’t no puzzy like them Jewboys, are you” and “I got this bomb for sale cheap and if you pass this by, you must be one of them ni66erlovers.”
Like a young couple in Vegas on a timeshare sit, these two dummies agreed to buy everything just to make the sales pitch go away.
Then the SWAT team showed up covered in black nylon and yelling swear words.
And these two losers made the news.
And everyone from opportunistic politicians to Black Lives Matter will go on and on about how so many racist white domestic terrorists are killing blacks every day with illegal guns.
And a percentage of voters will actually believe it all.
“The disclosures appear to show the biggest doping scandal in athletics history”
No.
The biggest doping scandal in athletics history is just how many dopes care about all this tax-payer subsidized organized grab-azz that distracts needed attention away from truly important issues.
“The biggest doping scandal in athletics history is just how many dopes care about all this tax-payer subsidized organized grab-azz that distracts needed attention away from truly important issues.”
The Olympics is not only about sports but politics and here we have EGGHEAD minimizing corruption. He doesn’t care about it, nor calls of racism(by black people). What a wonderful fantasy world EGGHEAD lives without racism and corruption ~ just forget about it 🙄
@36 setnaffa,
“Except that only blacks have been burning churches in America for the last few years.”
Link please ❓
Race wars forget about em @ 37 EGGHEAD 🙄 I know why you want to forget about them and play them off by blaming “hillbillies.”
Recently Dylan Roof wanted a race war when he killed 9 black churchgoers and now we have these other White Supremacists who EGGHEAD tries to minimize. 😈
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/29/white-supremacists-race-war-america-military-dylann-roof
“After the horrific massacre at Charleston’s historic black church, Americans are slowly realizing the threat posed by white supremacist and neo-Nazi movements. But few know that their presence has grown within one of the most powerful institutions in America: the US military.
According to the FBI, there are hundreds of white supremacists in the US army or in the veteran community. Some analysts even estimate the number is in the thousands. In America, 203 white supremacist “extremist cases” investigated by the Bureau from 2001 to 2008 involved veterans. The problem hasn’t gone away. Neo-Nazi veteran Wade Michael Page attacked six worshippers at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in 2012.
I spent a number of years investigating how neo-Nazis and white supremacists had infiltrated the US military, with very little push back from the Pentagon, which was desperate to keep the supply of troops flowing for the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
As part of my research, I spoke to veterans who had become white supremacists before service and joined to gain access to weapons and training, as well as veterans who had been radicalized after returning from the war.”
READ the REST…Veterans and “hillbillies” as White Supremacists 🙁
N.Y. AG declares DraftKings, FanDuel are illegal gambling, not fantasy
Now this $5 billion illegal gambling industry is what GOP presidential candidates want to forget about/minimize(per prior GOP so-called “debate”). Besides, how could $800 million investments by FoxNOTnews, NFL, etc…to “industry giants” be anything worth worrying about, right EGGHEAD ❓ These two industry giants have 5 days to respond to the N.Y. AG or else… 😎
http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/14100780/new-york-attorney-general-declares-daily-fantasy-sports-gambling
“New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman declared Tuesday that daily fantasy sports constitute illegal gambling in his state, and he sent game operators DraftKings and FanDuel cease-and-desist notices in a significant blow to the embattled, billion-dollar industry.
Schneiderman demanded that DraftKings and FanDuel, the two industry giants, stop accepting “wagers” from New York residents. He did not ask the company to stop conducting its national business in New York.
“Our review concludes that DraftKings’/FanDuel’s operations constitute illegal gambling under New York law,” Schneiderman wrote Tuesday in the letter obtained by ESPN’s David Purdum and Darren Rovell and ABC News.”
Operation Wetback praised by Trump
Trump Praises Eisenhower’s Deportation Program, Fails to Mention It Was Called “Operation Wetback”
The Donald praised Dwight Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” during Tuesday night’s debate, an inhumane policy that tossed people out of the country.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/11/10/trump_loves_eisenhower_deportation_program_operation_wetback.html
“Let me just tell you that Dwight Eisenhower. Good president. Great president. People liked him. I liked him. I Like Ike, right? The expression, ‘I like Ike.’ Moved 1.5 million illegal immigrants out of this country. Moved them just beyond the border, they came back. Moved them again beyond the border, they came back. Didn’t like it. Moved ‘em waaaay south, they never came back. Dwight Eisenhower. You don’t get nicer, you don’t get friendlier. They moved 1.5 million people out. We have no choice. We. Have. No. Choice.”
This was Operation Wetback, a 1954 initiative that saw undocumented immigrants packed into overcrowded trucks and buses—or boats resembling an “eighteenth century slave ship”—and transported to remote parts of the Mexican desert. Left with nothing, in the middle of nowhere, dozens of people caught up in Operation Wetback died of heat stroke.
And this is the policy Trump continually cites to prove he can exile 11 million undocumented immigrants from the U.S. “in a very humane way, a very nice way.”
54 Other Must See Clips From the Fox Business Republican Debate
Doesn’t the person you attack have to be in attendance of a debate for it to be a debate? I highlighted some of the best softball GOP non-debate/attack Hillary nonsense but there is a video to each and more…
“Welcome to our coverage of the Fox Business Republican presidential debate from the Milwaukee Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, moderated by FBN hosts Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo, and Wall Street Journal Editor-In-Chief Gerard Baker. After the last debate, Republicans whined about the lack of substance in the questioning, but look for them to expose their own hypocrisy.”

Kevin D. Williamson on Yale’s Idiot Children:
“I understand why the idiot children at Yale are so sensitive. Really, I do. I sometimes list in my mind all of the poor, suffering people who get a raw deal in this life, and Yale students are always right at the top, with the Bangladeshi orphans and women traded by sex traffickers in Vietnam. Yale isn’t a safe space, Congo isn’t a safe space – it all makes sense, as long as you don’t expect it to make sense.
No, genocide isn’t a joke. I’m sure that the women and children being raped to death by Boko Haram appreciate that the idiot children at Yale are making stern faces and pumping their fists. As for me, I think that they’re clowns, and worse than that, really: They’re bad citizens, and defective people from defective families. They aren’t motivated by good will, but by fear: of the dawning realization that they, as people, aren’t really all that important, despite having been told all their lives how important they are.”

‘Trump Praises Eisenhower’s Deportation Program, Fails to Mention It Was Called “Operation Wetback”’
The full headline is…
Trump Praises Eisenhower’s Deportation Program, Fails to Mention It Was Called “Operation Wetback” because it was an operation to deport wetbacks which was an acceptable colloquialism for non-Americans entering the United States “by crossing the Rio Grande, which forms the border between Texas and Mexico, presumably by swimming or wading across the river and getting wet in the process.”
In other news, “wetback” was an acceptable term back when it was standard to notice that criminals entering the United States were actually undesirable… ergo, Operation Wetback was exactly what it was… an operation to get rid of wetbacks… the removal of which was a benefit to America.
Like everything undesirable, inferior, or disgusting, there was a linguistic evolution of wetback, illegal alien, illegal immigrant, undocumented worker, non-native resident, and a number of steps in between… which give few years of more pleasant-sounding English until reality catches up with the euphemism… but it all means the same thing… non-Americans illegally coming to America and sucking up resources with less contribution than consumption.
Other examples of rapid linguistic evolution on the euphemism treadmill are… mentally retarded, mentally handicapped, mentally impaired, mentally challenged, intellectually challenged, intellectually disabled, learning disabled, developmentally disabled, intellectually differently abled.
It is hard not to barf while writing this account of linguistic self-delusion.
So let’s pick a word with a common understanding of its meaning and use it without fake sugarcoating to pretend it is something better than it is… at least until kids on the playground figure out how they can use it as an insult.
As of now, wetback works for me. Retarded is OK. Negro is fine.
Operation Undocumented Non-native Immigrant Economic Migrant is a fine name…
…as long as they kick out all the fukking wetbacks and push their jobs onto those who are receiving transfer payments for economic assistance with compensation aid allowance relief… or whatever the fukk they call welfare these days to hide its true nature.
In other news…
“Tbone” has become a colloquialism for rectum-phelching ball-humming crying-quietly-over-mother-issues retard. It, too, needs a euphemism.
I suggest Perpendicular Skeletal Support Member. That really will make him sound better… at least until he touches his keyboard and puts his little insect thoughts out to the public.
Cops Taser Black Man to Death/Twenty Times in 30 minutes at hospital while shackled(against racist cop rules). Why did this black man deserve to die ❗ Cops originally took the black man to hospital then after tasered 20 times(3 times at once by 3 different cops) @ 50,000 volts per taser discharge = 150 volts in 5 seconds per nurse(s) witness. All 3 cops got promoted since incident and 2.5 years later cops finally releases video to family after civil charges were recently filed.(VIDEO) ❗

“…One ordered him to “stay down;” another, Officer Bratton, told him, “Every time you get up, I’m going to pop you.”
Lambert told them, “I didn’t do nothing,” and can be heard moaning in the recording. The officers tell Lambert to lie down, stay down, get on his belly, and roll over – while warning they will taser him again.
“I’m going to light you up again – roll over, roll over, turn over!” Bratton says.
Lambert remained on the ground, saying OK, but the officers tased him again. They restrained his legs with shackles.
Then, as Lambert appears subdued on the video, the officers warned Lambert they would taser him again. “I’m going to hit you again,” Bratton tells him.
Then Lambert says, “I just did cocaine.”
For the first time that night, officers tell Lambert he is under arrest, calling it in for disorderly conduct and destruction of property.
Lambert pleads to the officers, “Why are you trying to kill me, man?,” and asks them to stop the tasing, saying, “don’t do it, please don’t do it, please officers…”
Two White Missouri Men Arrested For Online Threats To Shoot Blacks
A second Missouri man was arrested Wednesday after posting a threat against blacks online.
More white college students treating blacks badly ❗
http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/second-missouri-man-arrested-for-online-threat-to-shoot-black-people/
“Northwest Missouri State Unversity freshman Connor B. Stottlemyre was taken to jail on suspicion of making a terrorist threat after in connection to a post stating, “I’m gonna shoot any black people tomorrow, so be ready.” He had not been charged as of Wednesday evening.
The post was reported to authorities by another NMSU student who saw it on the Yik Yak phone app. The app allows users to post threads that can be seen within a five-mile radius.
Stottlemyre is 19, the same age as Hunter Park, who was arrested earlier in the day for using the same app to state, “I’m going to stand my ground tomorrow and shoot every black person I see.”
Awwww, two white guys… There are consequences for being threatening. There are enough jackasses of every skin tone to go around. Even among people not living above their mom’s garage.

“While world leaders expressed support and empathy for the carnage, and French media put on a “master class in how to conduct responsible, measured journalism,” right-wing pundits dumped their sewage on the pages of Facebook and Twitter and on American news networks.
As French journalists made note of the many tweets and messages of well wishes from across the globe, conservatives competed with each other to say the most offensive idiotic things they could about the attacks, even while the violence was still unfolding in Paris streets.
ISIL is trying to bring on World War III and Conservatives are doing their bidding.
Islamic extremists are probably very happy to have so much help from Conservatives here in America. It was like a ‘who can be the worst person on Twitter’ last night — and it was a toss up.
Conservatives were blasted on social media for their remarks following the attacks.”

The Good Points of the Paris Terror Attack (with the lack of good things that will come from them)
Good: Yet another demonstration that the Eurotrash can keep their traps shut when lecturing Americans over gun control and killing sprees.
Bad: Eurotrash will ignore this and keep lecturing. Ameritrash will also ignore this and keep lecturing.
Good: Yet another demonstration that allowing the unchecked infusion of cultures that are hostile, inferior, and unwilling to assimilate is not a good idea.
Bad: Nobody will learn this. Everybody will act like the opposite is true. Europe will keep letting the invading army in through inaction. America will actively help the invading army.
Good: The Islamic communities will more appreciate the opportunities given to them by western countries and will wish to preserve them by standing against violence in their host nations. They will self-police and report militants and radicals so their communities will live in peace and comfort.
Bad: No, they won’t. They will continue to bite the hand that insists on feeding them… and credit themselves for the food.
Good: People will realize they need more personal responsibility in their daily lives… from situational awareness to making their voice heard so politicians will avoid the structural political and social issues that encourage disruption to functioning society.
Bad: No, they won’t. They will beg for more government intrusiveness, militarization, and restriction to give the appearance of helping solve problems that should not even exist.
Good: Everyone will understand why Korea likes to keep the riff-raff out.
Bad: No, they won’t. Cries of racism will get louder.
