45787. arkymalarky - 7/16/2014 7:59:37 PM what's pathetic is that he's a retired obgyn. Ugh. that's scarier to me than that stupid right wing ad with Uncle Sam playing doctor. 45788. judithathome - 7/31/2014 10:12:50 PM Newsflash: The House Republicans withdrew the vote this afternoon on their OWN immigration bill due to lack of support...is there no level too low to which these assholes won't stoop?
This is like a lawyer telling a client, hey, we have a weak defense so we're just gonna plead guilty and go home. Tough luck, buddy. 45789. wabbit - 8/2/2014 3:53:47 PM Hard to believe this whackjob keeps getting elected.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) believes that the United States government wants to use thousands of undocumented immigrants for medical experiments, she said on the radio show "WallBuilders Live" on Wednesday.
“And now President Obama is trying to bring all those foreign nationals, the illegal aliens to the country, and he has said that he will put them in the foster care system," Bachmann said in the interview. "Well, I will tell you from personal experience, we don’t have enough foster parents now in the country for the kids in America. We certainly don’t have enough foster parents for all of the illegal aliens that the president is trying to bring in right now." The progressive group People For the American Way posted the audio on its Right Wing Watch blog Wednesday afternoon.
Bachmann said that hospitals could "get millions of dollars in government grants if they can conduct medical research on somebody," suggesting that the hospitals could do that research on undocumented children. "A little kid can’t say no if they’re a ward of the state," said Bachmann. "So here you could have this institution getting millions of dollars from our government to do medical experimentation and a kid can’t even say no. It’s sick.” 45790. judithathome - 8/2/2014 8:12:53 PM In her screed last night on the House floor, she also said we need to "handcuff the President"...and demonstrated with one hand circling her other wrist and holding it up...
I realize she is not the one who coined that phrase; it was first used by that orange guy who looks as though he's had experience BEING handcuffed; however, knowing her penchant for misunderstanding "nuance" in the past, I think she might have meant it in its' most basic sense. 45791. arkymalarky - 8/15/2014 2:33:37 AM well, David Gregory is leaving meet the press and NBC. I'm glad. I cannot see him without having images of him dancing with Karl Rove. I just never did care for him. 45792. judithathome - 8/15/2014 5:27:09 PM Me, either...the only thing he has going for him is that he is super tall...Bill O'Reilly tall. They should have both tried out for professional basketball...they'd have been schooled quickly on how to face/have to deal with someone better across the "court". 45793. judithathome - 8/15/2014 5:28:44 PM I like Chuck Todd...he's a little somber but at least he's not creepy-looking. He'll do a decent job. 45794. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 3:21:35 AM TX gov Perry indighted. 45795. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 3:22:12 AM #ferguson #demiliterize 45796. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 3:35:10 PM The militerization of the police still bothers me.
Racism still bothers me.
but "It's bad enough they assassinated him, and now they're trying to assassinate his character," Crump said.".
What character was there to assassinate? He just robbed a store 45797. judithathome - 8/16/2014 4:41:25 PM So what? You might be surprised that a LOT of young kids shoplift, even rob. That is hardly a reason to murder them.
Have you never committed an infraction? Never done some little something of which you were not very proud? Don't you think your parents might be a tad upset if you were murdered for walking somewhere you weren't supposed to be walking and then, the police who murdered you thought they ought to make your kid the villain in order to make themselves look justified? THEN, you find out the policeman who murdered your child didn't even KNOW about the shoplifting before he murdered your child.
The parents never claimed this young man was a saint...but you can't tell me that showing that footage of him boosting a pack of cigars is a decent thing for the police to do...especially since the cop they are trying to cover in "justifiable shooting" robes has skipped the state in order to avoid facing any consequences at all. 45798. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 5:26:39 PM Bot situations are bad news... But they guy saying the cops are resorting to character assassination.... What character?
It's hard to justify crowds looting for 5 days when the martyr isn't even much of a martyr.
One thing i'd like to see is small cameras on all cops instead of military surplus. 45799. arkymalarky - 8/16/2014 5:28:48 PM Police brutality has got to be addressed in the age of instant video. And people need to continue to step up and challenge it. Judith is right. The kid's background is irrelevant to his murder. And it was murder and should be treated as such. 45800. arkymalarky - 8/16/2014 5:30:29 PM I agree about the cameras. And there need to be consequences. 45801. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 5:39:28 PM Not irrelevant if he did get physical with the cop first... 45802. judithathome - 8/16/2014 7:01:06 PM Well, I have heard three eyewitness say he did not get physical with the cop, and one said he had his hands raised in surrender even after being shot while running away...in other words, after being shot in the back. Two lawyers who have heard,seen these witnesses testimony said they are telling the truth and are extremely credible witnesses.
And don't blame the looting on the victim...the looting was a crime and was done by people who just needed an excuse, any excuse, to act out. And to be clear, the looting took place over 5 nights time but actually happened on only two of those nights. 45803. Ms. No - 8/16/2014 7:48:57 PM A gun isn't a freeze-ray. Cops should stop using it as such. You don't KILL a suspect for running away. You chase him.
45804. iiibbb - 8/16/2014 8:11:01 PM The cop fucked up. The who.e situation is fucked up.
Cameras on cops like the link above except a switch also attached to the holster That's what I want to see. 45805. anomie - 8/16/2014 10:33:37 PM I think everyone in that town should violate the cerfew tonight. I hope they do. 45806. arkymalarky - 8/16/2014 11:33:49 PM Hey anomie!
