This topic threatens to debunk the natural order of this place. Topic made about current issue. Someone says Obama did it. B-man and other post editorials from right wing Internet spheres. Conclusion reached. Many a time I've linked to court decisions, CRS/CBO studies themselves (as opposed to reporting on them), studies from reputable universities..rarely a response.

being so lazy as to not search a 2 page thread....since I'm tired and about to hit the sack...did anyone post a link to the Arizona lady who committed voter fraud to prove voter fraud happens and got stopped voting and arrested for it?

...well they interviewed insiders who said the yellowcake thing making it into the bush speech was the breaking point for them personally as far as losing faith in the work they did...

duh

We all work...yet we find the time to bloviate...no excuses...get back here and rant

Iraq was the root of all evils haven't you heard? Sadam pissed us off publicly therefore his continued existence was evidence you could piss us off and live to tell about it/kill those who rose against you in your time of vulnerability.

Wikipedia usually has a policy that mandates when high profile editors edit conflicting ideas it comes up showing that there is disagreement about the issue and then tells both sides...so this is interesting in the sense that a common sense policy failed to work

I don't have time to think about it. Educate me. I may have time to fact check your lecture.

damages to existing crops happens anyway and I'm not sure but they may patent the gene that makes it resistant to round up since they invent it/it's novel...and in any event the patent time limit expires anyway it's just that seed time/life is shorter than drugs....and I think the drug companies got that expiration pushed back recently....not sure tho

Can you not engineer a seed to produce no seeds? I know next to nothing about this and I'm sure there are some complications for certain seeds/crops...but I know my seedless oranges are good...for engineered IP that self replicates is there not always the ability to some extent to engineer the IP so that it does not self replicate? It would protect the patent...and a neighbors field from cross pollination and potential law suits as well as just generally wanting his own seed uninfringe by engineered design not found in nature...

TPS is not a friend of Israel...our closest ally in the area and our blood brother...you are satan

Focused on the the case to go to war with Iraq. It's on now. Somewhat interesting, not a whole lot knew but detailed and has some good interviews with people involved. I know apparently there was a well-liked user that used to post here who would talk about this in detail so I figured perhaps some might find it interesting even those who ordinarily do not like MSNBC

From time to time stop taking yourself so seriously. And anyway...mostly in retarded topics. Legitimate topics...rarely

Hey, here you have it...the basic gist is there was no personal responsibility...not even an attempt to produce a public record through trial.....even years later...and the are such as "oh she's grandstanding" (when a clip like this could play w/ no party affiliation and poll higher than beer) and "oh it's a Liz Warren quote" so it must be a leftist agenda when all it's really saying is rich corporations settle and pay fines out of massive profitsand executives never stand trial while DAs across the country clamp down on drug offenses and the like... Whether you would have voted for her or not she'll be a quality addition to the committee and on this issue she speaks for more than just the far left regardless of what anyone has been conditioned to believe

The thing I love about retarded people is it's all about progressives v. conservatives and red v. blue...and there's nothing else. You are supposed to oppose her, therefore anything she ever says or does, is completely wrong

exhibit A for why Sat Night Live is the now the owner of the title "slightly more popular than Mad TV was before it was canceled" these days

Once again ... no comment on the general issue of more meaningful regulation. When it's guns it's all about enforcing the laws we have. When it's finance, it foolish to suggest anything other than nothing? A few settlements sometimes "large" by our standards but for the most part nothing more than "significant" by the largest banks standards? I'm not even a bank killer kind of guy.....but it is just crazy that b/c it's her that all the sudden this is "far left nutball stuff"...stuff that would poll higher than probably any other policy in America

In any event she was pretty clear as to why she was pursuing that line of questioning, something that article left out. Simply put by Warren at the very start she pursued this line of questioning b/c the willingness to take someone to trial and ability to win those cases (whether b/c of incompetence or lack of resources) directly affect the strength of negotiation and severity of settlements. Plus it denies the public the days of public testimony regarding what went on. And however big the settlements, usually there were large profits created by the act that pay for them. And the fact DAs often squeeze ordinary citizens to set examples, and but there seems to be no "old testament justice" for the bankers...is something that resonates with a lot of people. But of course b/c she's a Democrat....nothing she does on any issue can just be seen as positive. Even if it's brining new life to the financial oversight and pressuring regulators to be tougher and perhaps in the future pushing for more resources so they can...

Getting after it on her main issue. Love or hate it...this push...very popular with almost everyone including many upper class people.

What's so hilarious is the direct expenditures alleged total 57K...and are the most blatant and stupid of all...and 43K flashy rolex was a direct expenditure...lol...

What type of political science class is she teaching where she would even have to say this? Just give out an F if someone sources a stupid cable news article. And don't hold it against them on the off chance it is a solid article. Left or right leaning...it matters not. Only how deep it gets in terms of the issues it discusses.

LITERALLY no JJ Jr. topic? You guys slipping... http://media.nbcchic...Jindictment.pdf JJ made direct expenditures totaling $57,792.83. JJ and campaign worker used campaign credit card for $582,772.58. JJ gave $112,150.39 to two campaign aides solely for the purpose of engaging in transactions that benefited him. JJ and campaign aide lied to FEC and House of Reps A few items include a $43,350 Rolex, $9,587.57 worth of children's furniture...the aide bought $5,150 worth of fur capes and parkas...he paid staff for work not done, he bought porcelain collectors items, he bought Bruce Lee and MLK Jr. memorabilia, footballs signed by ex-presidents, Michael Jackson memorabilia, Malcolm X stuff, mink capes and parkas.... Prosecution would have likely asked for nearly 5 years. He is reported to be bargaining and will almost certainly do significant time. He is not THE most corrupt politician we have had in office but he might be the dumbest of all time....

lol go back and watch it, when he talks about specific things he would like to do that he has not before, those are your new policy statements....then watch Rubio...when he fails to talk about anything specific...those are your lack of policy statements...now granted he went on right after I don't know if he got a copy before he prepared his speech but in general there are was, as usual, nothing but vague references to unquantifiable values...it was what it always is an opportunity to further the profile of a speaker in the minority party...and it didn't even go well as far as that is concerned

Love him, hate him, feel nothing towards him...his SOTU had more wrinkles/change/ideas that differed from some policy statements in the past than did Rubio who gave a leftover speech from the Romney campaign who merely grouped together cliches over the past 30 years...

lol...are we sure the delay was b/c they late/being TSA searched?
