I've come to regard the Obama administrations in much the same way as I do the Lions. I support it, I want it to succeed... and it keeps finding ways to fail. So, with an economy barely treading water, I kinda expected Obama to toss it a boat anchor in his jobs speech.

To my surprise, pretty much everything in it seemed to range from harmless to moderately helpful. I'd have preferred a coast guard chopper to lift it to safety but I'll settle for a carelessly tossed life preserver to at least help tread water for a while longer. After all, this is the Lions we're talking about.

BTW...being called crazy by a bunch you fuckin nutjobs is hilarious...expecially when y'all say Bush brought the towers down. Y'all get el lowell'd by your own party for chrissakes. Y'all are that much out of touch with reality. Its no wonder that you support Barry the Nazi.

The Republican Party is split down the middle between tea party supporters and those who don't support the movement, a new CNN/ORC International poll suggests.

Forty-nine percent of Republicans and independents who lean Republican say they support the tea party movement or are active members; 51% say that they have no feelings one way or another about the movement or that they oppose it.

Demographically, tea party Republicans are more likely to be male, older and college-educated; non-tea party Republicans are younger, less-educated, women and less likely to say they are born-again Christians or evangelicals.

On many issues, the two wings of the GOP are in accord, but they aren't in agreement on issues such as the deficit, global warming, evolution, abortion, same-sex marriage, the Federal Reserve, the Department of Education or Social Security.

Republicans represent a lot of different views. The Dems, on the other hand, just want to tax working peeps to pay for ineffective social programs that buy them votes.

How do you know if it's bullshit if you don't even fucking read it? How about reading it, finding any source that refutes this (and, honestly, I accept right-wing think tanks as a source if you feel that this is coming form a purely left-biased source) and post it.

This is what happens when you get sucked into debating with a cartoon. Your can either go all Wiley Coyote on him with the acme box of arguments that he ignores because cartoons don't have to obey gravity or be connected to reality in any way. Or you can ignore him. Those are pretty much your options.

They basically go down the list of Republican candidates and then write hit pieces on them.

Cutting just for the sake of reducing the deficit can also impede growth potential... they should strike a balance between loss + interest vs wasted opportunities.
It's like a small business deciding on laying off staff and reducing logistics instead of selling assets to invest in advertising.
But nooo we're (re GOP) too stubborn to see anything that makes business sense.

Couple of political issues that _don't_ involve presidential politics or Rep vs. Dem too much:

Should what you confess to a priest be used against you in court?
http://www.freep.com/article/20120208/NEWS06/202080394/Judges-to-decide-Can-religious-confessions-be-used-against-you-?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFRONTPAGE
If someone confesses that they abuse kids to a priest, would you be pissed if the priest told the cops? Would you be pissed if they didn't? How is a priest fundamentally different from a lawyer on this front?

Should prisoners be paid minimum wage?
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120208/METRO/202080375/Michigan-prison-privatization-effort-stalls?google_editors_picks=true
If we pay them minimum wage, this gives them more money to compensate the state and the victims?
If we don't, do we create a class of worker who undercuts regular workers who have to be paid minimum wage?

Theoretically, the Republican war on women is political news these days.
But at the end of the day, white women cast a majority of their votes for Republican presidential candidates.
So, Republicans can bitchslap women all they want and still get their vote.
It's the American way.

In the category of "stuff that should be political news":


“The truth is that government officials have deliberately engineered the system to assure that the jury trial system established by the Constitution is seldom used,” said Timothy Lynch, director of the criminal justice project at the libertarian Cato Institute. In other words: the system is rigged.

In the race to incarcerate, politicians champion stiff sentences for nearly all crimes, including harsh mandatory minimum sentences and three-strikes laws; the result is a dramatic power shift, from judges to prosecutors.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1978 that threatening someone with life imprisonment for a minor crime in an effort to induce him to forfeit a jury trial did not violate his Sixth Amendment right to trial. Thirteen years later, in Harmelin v. Michigan, the court ruled that life imprisonment for a first-time drug offense did not violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Each year 2.5 million children die worldwide because they do not receive life-saving vaccinations at the appropriate time. Now researchers are developing a fingerprint-based recognition method to track vaccination schedules for infants and toddlers, which will increase immunization coverage and save lives. This will also allow the authorities to better track their movements throughout their entire lives without their consent, without having to chip the children like you would a dog or cat.

Anything for the children!

Am I the only one who thinks that assault policy doesn't belong in a school's hands?

http://www.chron.com/news/crime/article/California-adopts-yes-means-yes-sex-assault-rule-5787273.php

If I were raped, or otherwise the victim of an assault, I'd go to the real cops, not the campus cops.

I don't like the idea that universities, especially publicly-funded ones, have what amounts to their own court system for such things. With the Brendan Gibbons shit (the U-M kicker accused of rape but nothing happened until 4 years later), I don't think the victim should've had a choice of a "campus court" vs. the normal legal system. Either they press charges in the same system of criminal justice everyone else can use, or they don't. Whatever your opinion on the merits of the case, everything that went wrong with the handling of that case started when the victim went to U-M court instead of real court.

Here's Rick Snyder's campaign website just before the 2010 election:

http://web.archive.org/web/20101029032137/https://www.rickformichigan.com/site-map

Nowhere in the site or the PDFs does it talk about:

a) the emergency manager law
b) taxing retirees
c) separating the DNR and DEQ

which were his biggest initiatives right after getting elected. He was way ahead in the polls at the get-go and didn't really have to specify anything to get elected. The only big thing he committed on beforehand that he did right away was repealing the MBT in favor of a flat corporate tax, but he made that sound like something that would be done without raising taxes, simply by cutting spending on some initiatives (the film subsidies were the particular hot button of the day).

Am I totally weird for liking to check out how politicians actually did on their campaign promises, seeing if they pass the "do what you say you will do" test??

If anything, there is a negative correlation between keeping campaign promises and being judged a success. At least in terms of the presidency.

Positive correlation between our reactions to horrific images and liberal/conservative. I'm just waiting for politicians to hook themselves up to fMRIs...

Gowdy is right though, 4 Americans are dead and that is the focus, not Hillary's run for Prez. Those aren't her emails, they are the emails of this country. She didn't turn them over when subpoenaed.

http://www.freep.com/story/news/2016/01/22/accuser-goes-after-charles-pughs-wages-sex-case/79173328/


A decade ago, Charles Pugh was living the dream, making a six-figure salary as an anchorman at Fox 2 news in Detroit.

Political stardom came next, as Pugh would become the second-most powerful political figure in Detroit, only after the mayor, when he won the seat of City Council president in 2009 as the top vote-getter in the city.

Today, he's a waiter at a soul food restaurant in Harlem.

This looks like one of the better years to watch and laugh at our political process. Just a complete joke. Fun stuff.

This business with Hillary retroactively committing crimes of leaking classified data is getitng silly.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/01/30/us/politics/ap-us-clinton-emails.html


"The documents are being upgraded at the request of the intelligence community because they contain a category of top secret information,"
Translation: the documents weren't obviously classified at the time Hillary had them.


Even if Clinton didn't write or forward the messages, she still would have been required to report any classification slippages she recognized in emails she received. But without classification markings, that may have been difficult, especially if the information was publicly available.
Translation: we classify public information so you can't talk about it even when it's in the public domain, which is ridiculous and not a new problem (e.g. Wikileaks). When something isn't secret anymore, acting as it if were secret is stupid and defies common sense.

And I have Tahoe to thank for staring at this again -- calling Hillary "the criminal" made me look at the most recent news article that news.google.com presented about the situation, rather than ignoring it like I had for months.

Of course, Hillary's probably a crook for other reasons, but that's true of most politicians.

To think that Hillary never had any classified material sent to her as SOS by email is just plain ignoring common sense, imo.

And then the fact that he wiped the server clean, to the best of her ability, is not good for her at all.


All that said, Obama won't do anything to her. Obama won't have DOJ indict her, but it doesn't mean she isn't a crook.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-red-light-camera-yellow-light-1012-20141012-story.html


Confronted with questions about a flurry of red light camera tickets stamped with yellow times below the 3-second minimum, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration said the fluctuation of hundredths of a second was normal — imperceptible to anyone behind the wheel of a car. It turns out that fraction of a second makes a big difference to drivers and to the city's coffers.

The Emanuel administration on Friday acknowledged that it had changed the rules on what qualifies for a $100 ticket, quietly directing its new red light camera vendor to tag drivers even when the duration of a yellow light slips just below the 3-second standard set by the city. The policy generated 77,000 more tickets and nearly $8 million in revenue for the city over the last six months.

No.

White Lives Matters, Black Lives matters are both garbage. Go away to both of them!

Is there systemic racism towards blacks? If so, what (if anything) should be the appropriate actions? If not, what evidence do you have to that effect (keeping in mind that absolutely proving a ''negative" is hard)? If you're unsure, how much do you know about the matter?

BLM is pond scum just like these idiots with tiki torches today. This is fucking America, stop with all the racist shit on both sides. Getting sick and tired of the "Left" and "Right" with their stupid protest groups.

Let's treat both whites and blacks like shit if they're not rich, and make sure they're keenly aware how it's the other side that causes them problems!
That's change I can believe in to make America great again!

BLM is Democratic fake activism that backfired badly when people started killing cops (i.e. Dallas and New Orleans) last year. The same thing happened yesterday with the Republicans except they used Muslim tactics to run people over. It's getting tiring to see all these fake protests on both sides which in turn dumb whites and dumb blacks fight each other and the country is split. All the Democrats had all the fake outrage yesterday while all the Republicans had the fake outrage last year with BLM. This country is being played.

"fake activism"? WTF is "real activism"?

Not sure. I haven't seen it before in this country.

Under Obama, the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights had declared in 2011 that schools should use a standard known as “preponderance of the evidence” when judging sexual violence cases that arise under the antidiscrimination law known as Title IX.

Common in civil law, the preponderance standard is lower than the “clear and convincing evidence” threshold that had been in use at some schools. Victim advocates viewed the April 2011 letter as a milestone in efforts to get schools to heed the longstanding problem of campus sexual assault, punish offenders and prevent violence.

Now, under President Trump, the Office for Civil Rights is declaring that schools may use either standard while the government begins a formal process to develop rules on the issue.

I'd almost argue that DeVos and Trump did something right, except for the fact that the schools shouldn't be involved. This is for the courts, the police, the criminal legal system.
