Wait, on what Earth do people not recognize Israel as a state? It is, just like North Korea and Somalia, a state. Nobody has argued to remove Israeli statehood, that’s a straw man you just pulled out of your pocket. It’s an apartheid state, a militarized state that commits massive human rights abuses, but certainly a…

Yeah, well, this is one of the things about working for the evil empire. Any employee of Walmart or Activision or EA or wherever has to realize that their on the receiving end of whatever their corporate overlords do. That's part of the gig.
But nobody cares about stupid ass niche MLB records, one of which is set every goddamn game. Most hits by a 27-year old lefty who played two positions in a single game? Number of breaking balls thrown on the Fall equinox by a Latin American on his first contract? Its just some random shit, it’s not like with 2 outs…
As long as nobody is allowed to use fucking Dhalsim.
Does the average NBA fan give one single fuck about this, though? I haven’t heard any voices from within the Association speaking up in support of Morey, here. Nobody is wearing shirts to warmups supporting HK, nobody is on Twitter backing this up, nobody is refusing to travel to China to play in exhibition games…
Why is Destiny 2 just constantly recycling Destiny 1 material: guns, plotlines, characters, locations, dungeons, the whole effort seems to just cycle back through all the things. I didn't play D1, so I have no nostalgia there but just the idea that a sequel is constantly revisiting the original well tells me they…
You very obviously didn’t read that article. 'Nations' are not discussing or planning this. Why should it concern is? The article even states that the US would need to nuke someone for other nations to actually consider real sanctions. This isn't a proposal that is on the level with any actual state actors, that was a…
So, the whole 1935 case...was a guy who directed people to destroy subpeonaed documents who was tried before the Senate, and found guilty...and sentenced to 10 days of 'jail'; when they had nowhere to keep him, he crashed at the Sergeant of Arms of the Senate's house, then they put him up in a hotel for 9 days. This…
You’re crazy if you think theyre going to level any meaningful sanctions on the US. What, are they going to stop selling stuff here? None of the EU sanction talk has mentioned anything about rogue nation’s or policies other than airline subsidies and potential tarriffs from Washington; I can’t seem to find and…
Who would arrest them and charge them with crimes? The local sheriff and DA? They're in the middle of nowhere New Mexico and Texas, probably some of the most illiberal places in the country. They're not setting up checkpoints on Michigan Ave in Chicago, they're operating deep in friendly territory, and doing so for a…
If you're Pence, and this is a likely scenario, how hard do you go out of your way to listen to, be involved in, or otherwise stay 100yds from Trump's bullshit at all times? I wouldn't be surprised if they're only in the same room in public and Pence is kept in an isolation chamber at all times.
Why on Earth is the Attorney General involved in intelligence briefings of any sort? Shouldn’t they just tell the fuckwit to kick rocks and not let his dumbass in the briefing? Shouldn’t the CIA be involved here, and if domestic charges are warranted, being the AG the information? The AG acting as the president’s…
The real problem is $50 today in their check or tax return far, far, far outweighs the prospect of $5,000 going into schools, healthcare, transportation or any other form of social betterment. Even if you gave them $50 or $500 AND better schools and healthcare and a more equitable society, they just plain old don’t…
Soooo...what's the deal with his mom thanking God? Her son was senselessly murdered, in the same universe her God presides over. Someone tell me how this makes any fucking sense?
But as far as I understand, Congressional subpoenas are essentially unenforceable in any real, tangible way. He can be held in contempt of Congress, but won't be jailed or forced to testify. So...Plan B seems just about as good as Plan A.
He would definitely actually be a real improvement over a bunch of the jagoffs with HC jobs in the NFL, and twice as interesting. I stan Tomsula.
No, but you can be realistic about all of that obstruction and start requesting documents and subpoenaing sooner rather than later, knowing they are going to slow walk it, yeah? I guess the point is, announcing a formal inquest doesn’t change the DoJ or the Treasury and certainly doesn’t afford extra power (that I…
They could've started the moment their majority hit. Mueller was a narrow report looking at a very narrow part of his presidency. There was no chance Mueller was going to come out with a silver bullet that found an arcane loophole invalidating Trump's holding office, so why the delay? There are so many other things…
