QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 08:35 AM) Regarding the French election. I Would love to see Jean-Luc Mélenchon pull this off. He has some great ideas. He's also in favor of exiting the EU, though, and that could be really bad for a lot of immigrants in France.

"Oh actually they don't have what they need zoops" Fulton County has a card reader that reads hundreds of voting cards. One of those cards is broken in a way that nullifies all the counting. They don't know which of the hundreds of cards it is. Probably no definitive result for GA-06 tonight.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) What do you think he was there for? I know it's hard for you to say anything bad about them, but it seems like he was looking for a fight. Yeah, I don't think anyone has said she was an innocent bystander or wasn't involved in the protest despite it being framed that way several times. But when a group of white supremacists who would gladly inflict lots of pain and suffering on people and are a direct threat to liberal democracy* and a group of people who are explicitly ideologically opposed to that go head-to-head, I know what side I'm going to say still has the moral high ground. *short version is that fascists and nazis only care about a "free exchange of ideas" and democratic ideals as long as it allows them to seize power, and then they immediately crush dissent. I don't believe that there's anything worthwhile gained from allowing movements that advocate ethnic cleansing and destroying democracy to openly recruit and organize.

US forces didn't take necessary precautions to avoid dropping bombs on Syria mosque full of worshippers, report says

God damn openly defending violent white supremacists who attacked a woman who hadn't attacked anyone.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 01:07 PM) I know it was a joke, but your mocking tone suggested that there is no basis for fists being weapons. They can be. She was there to get into a fight. She got into a fight. her being a porn star doesn't matter in that, him being some white supremacist doesn't matter. I dunno, I think him being a white supremacist is relevant since it's the reason both of them were there in the first place.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-38992393 That was a joke post but now I'm really curious as to whether you actually believe there's no such thing as an "unarmed" person

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) Amazon packages? I thought they had a contract to deliver for Amazon on Sundays. That would explain it

my fists are registered as lethal weapons in 32 states and 14 countries. I am never truly "unarmed".

I'm always confused but happy when USPS delivers packages to me on Sundays.

what was the "cogent point" behind posting her "career choice" and calling it "unsettling"?

Ivanka Trump got trademark approvals from China the same day she met with Xi at Mar a Lago. https://t.co/myUMSvpJUa Becoming more clear why Trump's changed his tune on China. Gotta do what's best for the family business above all else.

Really disappointing to see Turkey take a few very big steps down the road to dictatorship.

I am very pro neo Nazis getting punched in the face even if I don't always agree with antifa.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Apr 15, 2017 -> 10:09 PM) Also. I will be back to laugh in your face when the dems come nowhere close to winning back the house. Just like I told you sheep that Hillary simply couldnt be president and you all laughed. You may want to look how many seats dems have up in the midterms lol http://www.npr.org/2016/03/04/469052020/th...dency-heres-why Let us not forget that the democrats lost over 1000 seats under Obama lol. FYI every house seat is up every two years. I don't think even the most optimistic people think they have a shot at the Senate in 2018 though.

Democrats won lots of seats across the state http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/democrats-g...kushpmg00000067
