That they let Hillary off for her email server is proof enough they have taken side or/and are owned. A common employee would be fired and likely have faced prison for what she did. Your outrage is very selective.
Let me guess, you are saying it is the one you claim membership? War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I am better than that, just you can't understand nuance I guess. Where in my post is there a single positive thing written about the right? I make a post stating what you appear to agree with, that mainstream news is generally biased, and more specifically mention BOTH sides, in CNN and Fox. But you decide to read my post, due to your own pre-conceived notion that I was in the bag for the right, as a support for right sided media. Come on man, you are better than that! As far as the "I hate Obamacare" right, I DO hate all new multi-billion dollar programs that have no new source of funding or equal spending cut. But once the left gets another freebie given to their people, it is extremely difficult to take it away from the dependent class. |

Ah, someone not enforcing the law is bad? I missed your post against sanctuary cities? Or is 'not enforcing the law' ok when it is supported by your political views? |

I've been seeing this argument a lot from righties. This is called "deflection." We are talking about the President of the United States. The Russian sanctions were passed with huge veto-proof majorities. And Donald can't be bothered to enforce them. And of course this doesn't bother you. You're the most non-partisan member on this board. *wink wink* “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Isn't that how it usually goes? Federal law against marijuana. State laws allowing it. Federal government "de-prioritizing" enforcement - until they aren't. Lawmakers in favor of "states rights"... and a small federal government... on issues they agree with. Presidential "signing statements" that pretty well declare that they will not enforce the law. How well do you think it would go over if California decided to stop following the 1995 law that requires us citizenship to vote in federal elections? No, I don't think this is all that unusual, or a departure from recent practice, but then again I thought something was wrong with those signing statements. This particular issue is a bit different - it was passed by a veto-proof margin, and it didn't have other "must pass" items in it that explain why the president felt he had to sign it yet ignore/nullify parts of it. There is also a difference between disobedience of a law because of philosophical differences vs feeling a law is immoral or illegal. Legality should usually be decided by the courts. Morality sometimes bleeds back to partisan philosophy. In this case, the stated reason is he feels "it isn't necessary" which, I believe, isn't his place to say.

Ducks wandering around far from the river, rats invading homes and businesses, but the Seine peaked just a tad bit short of overflowing its banks in Paris. Of course the total damage involved is still less than the millions and millions of dollars stolen from the tax coffers in the Carbon Tax Fraud that people in Marseille are being tried for now. |

Absolutely. There is no law or Constitutional provision that requires cities or states to cooperate with immigration agencies. So holding up sanctuary cities or states as examples of refusal to enforce the law, is ridiculous and stupid. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

LOL! DJT bothers me a lot! But exposing my lack of knowledge here.... What exactly was passed with huge veto proof majorities? What law is DJT not following? Please specifically mention a Russian sanction that is a law passed by Congress that DJT is breaking by not enforcing? And I'll say it again. It is embarrassing that DJT is our President. Just as it is true that the country is better off with him as President than HRC. The two are not mutually exclusive. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I thought there had already been a great breakthrough in decoding the Voynich manuscript but Slashdot just reported that artificial intelligence just provided proof that it is anagram-encoded Hebrew. I thought we already had a thread on the manuscript but I could not find it. |
