QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) But that's part of the complicated s***storm--we don't actually like Assad's regime and have been actively trying to undermine it for years now. Whatever the US is doing in Syria, playing nice with Assad isn't really in the cards in the long-run. They're trying to back anti-Assad, anti-Isis forces. Russia's doing just the opposite for their own reasons, as are the Turks. When the Russians started their campaign in Syria, they were frequently bombing anti-Assad rebels rather than ISIS. Turkey's launched attacks against Kurdish groups. The "unforeseen consequences of entering conflict are almost always worse than the known consequences of inaction" was my philosophy for a while but nothing has challenged it more than Syria. I read the sleepwalkers a year ago, about WW1. It was great, but with distance you sit there incredulous like "they are going bonkers over Serbia?". But it's really hard to just look at a country like syria that has the possibilities of a) Having a gigantic massacre and then brutal dictatorship installed by Assad b) Toppling assad and having a vacuum of nihilistic terror groups get territory holds c) Basically force some questionably moderate group of rebels into power despite no powerbase d) Just hope that a ceasefire lasts and see what is possible politically D is only possible by showing A that he can't win easily. And I think D may be right, but for US, it's hard to see how A is that consequential except for morally. I have no idea.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Sorry, I didnt take the bait on your sad analogy. Sorry, right, though we could easily identify the short logic if we were dealing with children, but it's somehow valid when dealing with adults is ridiculous. If you think "she did it first" is so damning when 1) She didn't do it first 2) The staffer that did peddle it was fired 3) She has not made her career blasting the president for being born elsehwere when he has proven he's born in US What else do you think may be irrational as damning?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) If you would have read my post I provided proof she committed crimes. Justin Cooper testified that he, Huma and Celsea all had access to the server with classified info. Also, there is no disputing she destroyed evidence that was under a preservation order and a subpoena. Her husband got impeached for lying about a blowjob. There is actually disputing this. The FBI report covers this extensively.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Id probably say running the country is different than being called to the principals office. Kind of reaffirms my point.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 01:44 PM) Well there is plenty of proof to back up the things Ive been saying for months. We have the worst and most corrupt candidates of all time trying to run on the policies of one of the worst president in recent history. When I first posted the DNC leaks everyone thought it was a real joke and claimed "politics as usual." Now we see that one of the dozens of people Obama sold jobs too is not only purposely distorting facts to influence the Presidential election. Hes also so ill equipped for the job that the DHS accidentally granted citizenship to over 800 immigrants with forged paper work. Meanwhile our President is helping pay for Mexico to build a southern border wall FOR MEXICO all while calling Trump racist for wanting one on our border. We have the main stream media manipulating content to help Hillary in the election, including a total media black out about the DNC leaks. Yesterday our military ACCIDENTALLY bombed the Syrian Army who is fighting AGAINST Isis, which also is causing huge issues with Russia. We have our own state department telling us that the some of the 33 billion dollars we are giving to Iran will be used to fund terrorism and is also making Iran more hostile towards us. If anyone wants pretty irrefutable proof that even if Hillary won she would be impeached very quickly watch the 12 minute video of Jason Chaffetz grilling the FBI that I posted. There is proof of multiple crimes that absolutely cannot be denied and the House Oversight Committee has no intentions of letting it go. We still have whatever wikileaks is gonna release as well. Things are really, really bad for Hillary right now. You wanted a response so here is one, though I thought you said this had sources? Syria I'm very sad about syria. I wish I could say what I support, but the reality is I couldn't stomach letting Assad with Russia complete the massacre, but the propping up a proxy civil war is not really saving lives either. The goal of a cease fire is probably what I do support. But yes, this is a tremendous f***up and a reason not to get involved in other countries civil wars, but not getting involved does not come at zero cost. The Wall The Gang of 8 bill which passed in the Senate and was killed in the house would have been signed by the president and supported by myself. It called for wall building and substantial border security. The confusion that his policy of building a wall is why people think he is racist seems to not take seriously the idea that racism could exist. His policy is not far off from Romney, his tone that mocks Americans from Mexico as unamerican, or the insinuation that they are distinctly violent because they are Mexican is where that comes from. DNC Leak I still don't care about this, not sorry about it. The positions weren't sold. The DHS deputy is not personally overseeing immigrant documentation. That dept should get better and if it was the oversight of that dhs employee who happened to fundraise for Obama, then he should be fired and someone else should take their place. Iran The idea not forcing countries to not do business with Iran = giving 33 billion to Iran is irrational. Iran's foreign policy is dangerous and antagonistic. We've removed/delayed their ability to develop a nuke. That doesn't mean they suddenly start working for shia peace. Last graf Just, no.

Out of curiosity, not going to actually use someones kid, but - let's be hypothetical parents. You are called to principals office Your teenage son/daughter has been spending the entire year spreading rumors and encouraging other kids to bully the class president saying that the president had done something juvenile, let's say peed his pants. Most of the kids at the school know the story was fake, but your son kept encourging people to use it against the student president because it hurt the president and made him/her feel powerful. When confronted, your son/daughter said it wasn't their fault and that the rumor actually started with the presiden'ts brother. The brother may have joked about it once but then told everyone it wasn't true and never brought it up again. How would we all handle this. Because this analogy is actually more critical of clinton than can really be claimed.

Plenty of people read both, no reason to post in every thread and forum you find it applicable.

So you posted twice ...becauseeee

I have to win this week to make championship. Won last week by getting lucky even after two of my pitchers got injured in the first batter they faced.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Dude, don't you know. Box office gross shows exactly how good a movie is. Wild hogs was one of the best comedies of all time

Well I guess the globe has terrible taste in movies.

Yes, in addition this person appears to be an absolute idiot in addition to being scum of earth.

To me this was a tremendous job of coordination from NYC/NJ/Transit and Feds. Excellent job isolating areas, finding the suspects and keeping the city going. Really admire their work.

I saw hell or high water. Not as enthusiastic as you all. There was too much lack of tension from the "cat" part of the cat and mouse game. And the whole "bank tried to keep your mom poor to steal the land!" thing, k well she didn't have to take a loan out.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 19, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) So I keep hearing how Mckinnon is going to be really good stepping in for AP yet Asiata got most of the carries after AP went down yesterday. What gives? Also credit to GB defense last night on gameplanning well for stuffing the run but Bradford was getting beat up out there, so maybe AP was struggling because his Oline sucks. This. Defenses vs. vikings were always "let's let them beat us through the air" with their terrible QBs, but those offensive lines overcame that and still created some holes to run. These two games were just gang tackles of 3-4 guys hitting him right away.

I'm starting to believe Britton may win. In the absence of a clear frontrunner, I feel like voters will get cute and try and make the novel pick.

I had a team that as soon as I drafted I was like "what the hell did I do", but it had rodgers/AP so I figured I could avoid last place which has an obnoxious trophy you need to take. But with AP out I am pretty sure I'll lose every game.

Man, Vikes look like they have a superbowl level defense but how many more injuries can they take?

Glad this wasn't worse. NYPD/FEDs seem to be doing a pretty good job in aftermath. Hope they get every one of them and fast.

Really pumped for mizzou now. Offense is real. Lock is real. Harris had 3 sacks. Eason/Lock adding much needed QB play to SEC

everyone seems pretty attractive right now.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Sep 16, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) That's the whole source of crises like Flint. Obama has basically screamed this at every one of his State of the Union Addresses. It's funny, but it's actually one area where I believe Clinton will be more effective than Obama if elected Pres.

Considering hte lead problems in Chicago, she damn well should start a lead initiative that can bring fed borrowing to states for removing lead pipes. Considering the side effects of lead it is a MORAL and ECONOMIC issue. Crazy how tepid the response has been. Yeah, regulation could have helped, but capital to improve dangerous infrastructure is more important. That's a big part of gov't.

I remember when politics used to be about what policies to implement instead of just helping people feel validated that their feelings were important. Miss when this place was arguing about health care and the Iraq War instead of whatever the hell this is.

Greg is upset that all the feels from Abreu seeing his son led to greatest offensive stretch in history. But, remember the movie Hook? Jack totally choked when his dad didn't show up until late.
