Im hopeful the students tell them to fuck off. It's their first chance to really make a statement. There's quite the cringeworthy debate in the Facebook comments section of the news post about the school announcing the students will get detention.
I've been to that detention center. What a fucking disgrace Many Alabama sheriffs contend that the practice of keeping "excess" inmate-feeding funds for themselves is legal under a state law passed before World War II. Yet in a number of counties including Jefferson and Montgomery, any money allocated to sheriffs for feeding inmates that is not used for that purpose is instead turned over to the county government. Entrekin reported on forms he filed with the Alabama Ethics Commission that he made "more than $250,000" each of the past three years via the inmate-feeding funds. Rainbow City Police Chief Jonathon Horton, who worked for the Etowah County Sheriff's Office under former sheriff James Hayes, is currently opposing Entrekin in this year's race for sheriff. One plank of Horton's campaign platform is a pledge to not keep any inmate-feeding funds. "I believe the funds belong to the taxpayers and any excess funds should go toward things that benefit the taxpayer," he said in a March 1 phone interview. "There's been a tremendous amount of money left over that shouldn't be used as a bonus check."
“Body man”....I mean he got trump coffee a few times. Very low level. People forget, anti corruption was a central part of trump’s campaign. It’s been a long decade since 2016.
I would empty my modest bank account to have the Chris Tucker from Rush Hour ask Trump all the exact, serious questions of these reporters.
House Intel Republican contradicts panel, says Russia tried to help Trump in 2016 Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said on Monday that "there is evidence" showing the Russians attempted to help Trump during the 2016 presidential election, contradicting a draft report from the panel. "I certainly think there is evidence of that. I don't know that necessarily there was a full-fledged campaign to do everything that they could to help elect Donald Trump," Rooney told host Erin Burnett on CNN's "OutFront." "I think that their goal was chaos." "To say that we have seen or read evidence that says 'we have to get Donald Trump in there,' I don't know that that's true," Rooney added. Burnett pointed out that "the intelligence community had said" Moscow's intention "was to hurt Hillary Clinton," and that the Kremlin "wanted to explicitly help Donald Trump." Rooney responded: "Yes, I believe there's evidence of everything that you just said." The House Intelligence Committee announced on Monday that it had finished interviewing all its witnesses in its investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 race. A draft report on its findings, which drew swift condemnation from Democrats, said Moscow sought chaos, not to boost one candidate over another. The report contradicts the conclusions drawn from multiple U.S. intelligence agencies, which hold that Russia sought to help elect Trump. "Instead of conducting an honest investigation, House Republicans chose to put partisanship over our national security and run a shameful interference campaign to give cover to Donald Trump," the Democratic National Committee said in a statement. © Provided by The Hill Rooney argued that the investigation needed to end because the committee was losing its credibility. "We've gone completely off the rails and now we are just basically a political forum for people to leak information to drive the day's news," Rooney said. "We've lost all credibility and we are going to issue probably two different reports, unfortunately." Relations between Democrats and Republicans on the committee have worsened, with much of the spotlight focused on the conflict between Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and ranking member Adam Schiff (D-Calif.). Tensions reaching a boiling point earlier this year when Democrats and Republicans released competing memos concerning alleged surveillance abuses by the FBI and Justice Department. According to CNN, the Democrats on the committee are expected to issue a report arguing that members did not conduct a thorough investigation. Republicans will likely argue that they did not find any evidence of collusion. Rooney also warned that the government needs to act to prevent foreign interference in the upcoming midterm elections. "If we don't get any of these recommendations out before this cycle gets fully underway, then we have really just completely wasted a year of everybody's time," he said.
He’s a piece of shit. Appreciate the reminder. Does he need to be separately confirmed for SoS? I presume yes.
Dude that was like 50 years ago. If dome foam has taught me anything, its laws or cases that are that old don't matter.
i was referring specifically to the logan act, which has only yielded 3 indictments in its history since it's inception in the 18th century. my point was that if we are banking on the logan act to hold anyone accountable....yikes. what's your point here?
take away from yesterday's press briefing 03/12/2018 08:40 pm ET Sarah Sanders Simply Refuses To Say ‘Russia’ When Quizzed On UK Poisoning “We offer the fullest condemnation,” the White House press secretary said. But of whom she wouldn’t reveal. Spoiler By Mary Papenfuss White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders pointedly avoided saying the word “Russia” on Monday when very specifically questioned about that country’s culpability in the poisoning last week of a former Russian spy with a deadly nerve agent. British officials have determined that Sergei Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia, were poisoned with a nerve agent developed in Russia. British Prime Minister Theresa May announced Monday that it was “highly likely” that Russia was responsible for the attack. “We must now stand ready to take extensive measures,” May said. But when asked ― three times ― at a White House press briefing about Russia’s link to the poisoning or any possible repercussions for the country from the U.S., Sanders carefully did not say “Russia” — or otherwise address who may have been responsible for the attack. She characterized it as an “indiscriminate” attack, although British authorities have concluded that Skripal was clearly targeted. “We’ve been monitoring the incident closely, take it very seriously,” Sanders said. “The use of a highly lethal nerve agent against U.K. citizens on U.K. soil is an outrage. The attack was reckless, indiscriminate and irresponsible. We offer the fullest condemnation.” “So you’re not saying that Russia was behind this?” a reporter asked. “Right now, we are standing with our U.K. ally,” Sanders said again. “I think they’re still working through even some of the details of that.” Pressed a third time, an annoyed Sanders answered, “Like I just said, we stand with our ally and we certainly fully support them and are ready if we can be of any assistance.” The Russian Foreign Ministry has dismissed the U.K.’s accusations about Skripal’s poisoning as a “circus show.” Former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was fatally poisoned in London in 2006 with radioactive polonium-210, which it’s believed he drank in a cup of tea. A British investigation concluded that his assassination was likely approved by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. The White House’s extreme reluctance to criticize Russia — ever — has raised increasing concerns, particularly as special counsel Robert Mueller investigates possible collusion by Donald Trump’s campaign in the Kremlin’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Early this month, Putin boasted of his nation’s nuclear capabilities to strike anywhere in the world. A simulated video presented by Putin appeared to depict next-generation nuclear missiles striking Florida. Yet Trump has yet to respond and chose instead to attack actor Alec Baldwin on Twitter the following day. Former CIA director John Brennan said at the time that he was rattled by Trump’s apparent lack of concern about the video. “When I hear what Vladimir Putin was saying about the nuclear capabilities he has [and] then the president of the United States is tweeting about Alec Baldwin ... I mean, where is your sense of priorities?” Brennan said on MSNBC. “I think a lot of Americans are looking at what’s happening with a sense of: This is surreal.”
Colleges/universities (unless they're the ones who already came out and said they would not hold such suspensions against students)
tmbrules this is the behavior of someone with courage in any capacity? Again, you have really fucking weird opinions.
Question - do you believe all these tweets from random people? Do you think that what they tweet is always true? I mean who is haley bird? Seriously?
Russian spy attack: Why Britain and why now? Spoiler Analysis by Nick Paton Walsh, CNN Trump: We'll condemn Russia if they poisoned ex-spy 00:52 (CNN)The UK has more or less made up its mind that the Russian state -- or at least a part of it -- was behind the use of Novichok in an attempt on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal's life in Salisbury last weekend. If we are to accept Britain's "it could only be them" argument, based on the nature of the poison, then we must also ask some other questions -- chief among them, why would Russia do this in Britain, and why now? First, Britain is currently weak on the world stage. While it is hard to admit this, virtually every relationship it has is in tatters. The internal knots of the ruling Conservative Party over the country's future after leaving the European Union have left it more or less incapable of effectively bargaining on one of the most important national issues since the end of World War II. <img alt="Trump: Russia likely poisoned ex-spy, &amp;#39;based on all the evidence&amp;#39;" class="media__image" src="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/180313141312-donald-trump-white-house-lawn-0313-large-169.jpg"> Trump: Russia likely poisoned ex-spy, 'based on all the evidence' Theresa May's government is reliant upon a small Northern Irish party, the Democratic Unionist Party, for its slim parliamentary majority. Every month or two, a leadership challenge is heard whispering in the wings. May has been more or less invisible for the first week of this challenge. But the alternative isn't much better. The leader of the opposition, Labour's Jeremy Corbyn, suggested on Monday that dialogue with Russia was the best response to its alleged use of chemical weapons on British soil. You can see the cracks in the British establishment's resolve from space. And this is before you consider the long-term animosity Russian hawks have against the UK: they lost the Cold War to the Americans, who they begrudgingly respect. They still hate the British from the empirical squabbles of the 19th century. You could hear a little bit of that on Tuesday when Russian foreign minster Sergei Lavrov said "the era of colonialism is over". Amid the wrangling of Brexit, this is not a time when the UK can count upon its European allies to make uncomfortable economic decisions -- like wide-ranging sanctions against Russia -- without question. In fact, it simply amplifies the UK's greater need for European solidarity and cooperation. And then there is the UK's so-called "Special Relationship" with the US, which looks slightly less special, ever since US President Donald Trump's visit to London keeps being kicked around, and since Downing Street had to chastise the US Commander in Chief for retweeting radical, right-wing, racist propaganda. As with Europe, this isn't a time when London can unwaveringly count on US support. While speaking with reporters about the firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the President said that while he would take May's findings on the nerve agent "as fact;" the US would only respond when he is satisfied that they've got "the facts straight" and that he "agreed" with the British findings. This really is the worst time in decades for the UK to need the help of its serious allies. Its leadership at home and on the world stage is weak, and the show of strength London must put on now will only work with the steel of solidarity from its allies. Why would Moscow do this now? The Russian presidential elections are days away, so logically rocking the boat now makes little sense, given that current President Vladimir Putin is assured victory, and his greatest challenger in most opinion polls is "undecided". It could herald uncomfortable sanctions and further isolate Russia, which could possibly damage Putin's cherished victory margin. Yet those who believe in-part of the Russian state's guilt in the Skripal affair would say that the polls don't really matter, but the message sent by Skripal's poisoning does. It sends the message that Moscow is powerful, is unafraid to chase traitors anywhere, is able to thumb its nose at NATO members and former world powers, and is resilient to all possible consequences. That's perhaps a message designed to reassure hawks in Moscow that the next Putin term will not see a rapprochement with the West. But there could be other dynamics at play. The Kremlin -- and the Russian elite of courtiers and oligarchs around it -- is not always united in one voice. You might say it at times makes the bloody and bitter satire the Death of Stalin look a bit like a documentary. And the assured new Putin term is also -- under the current Russian rules, which limit more than two terms in succession -- his last. So oddly, before a ballot is even cast, a form of succession race is under way. <img alt="Theresa May&amp;#39;s full statement on Russian spy&amp;#39;s poisoning" class="media__image" src="//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/180312133413-theresa-may-0312-large-169.jpg"> Theresa May's full statement on Russian spy's poisoning There will be hardliners jostling to position themselves as guarantors of Russian sovereignty and supremacy. And if you accept that every shadowy move from Moscow may not have the explicit oversight of the Kremlin's head, a brazen attempt on a traitor's life galvanizes that reputation. It forces the hand of Putin in this next term. And it lays the groundwork for either the kind of successor he must appoint, or bolsters the argument made in the past that without his strong hand in a time of crisis and confrontation, the country could collapse into bickering and chaos. However you parse the last week, it does not look good for Britain or Russia. Putin described the collapse of the Soviet Union at the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the last century, and somewhere in his heart the former KGB spy who saw the Berlin Wall fall must harbor a desire for some sort of revenge on NATO - to unpick the assurances of collective security. Picking on its politically weakest power -- the UK -- at a time of crisis is one way of showing Russian resurgence. But the erratic and reckless move shows perhaps that Moscow is itself undergoing a period of instability, in which this is designed to cement an ugly, future direction.
fake news wapo called tillerson being fired and replaced by pompeo LAST NOVEMBER https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/30/...ent-tillerson-pompeo-trump.html?smid=tw-share White House Plans Tillerson Ouster From State Dept., to Be Replaced by Pompeo
No, but demanding people have ID on them and then shutting down DMVs nearby sure as fuck is suppression.
Do you believe he didn’t fire Comey himself when he was on the other side of the country? Is there precedent? I’ve seen multiple reports about Tillerson being fired—none, except the WH, are saying Tillerson was informed ahead of time. So pretend those reports are correct. Your answer to my question...
You probably picked the wrong person to "who is..." You could've picked Goldengateblonde or HotTubBeerGuy, but you picked a rather well-respected white house reporter (and a fairly conservative one at that).
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/...tion=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage As a clandestine officer at the Central Intelligence Agency in 2002, Gina Haspel oversaw the torture of two terrorism suspects and later took part in an order to destroy videotapes documenting their brutal interrogations at a secret prison in Thailand.
Its unorthodox, yes. Do i personally care, no. I like his style. I like his ideas. He won, give the man room to do what he campaigned on. He hasn't done much that goes against what he campaigned on has he? edit: and in hindsight, firing Comey was absolutely the right move. If i recall correctly, many dims including some on this board were calling for him to be fired.
