China Is Building A Thousand Bed Hospital In 6 Days

Trump publicly blows his cover for national emergency

simonm says...

List of people in Trump's administration that have quit or been fired. The Trump Administration has seen the highest rate of turnover among White House staff in decades.

During the president’s first year, the administration saw a 34% turnover rate. This is the highest of any recent White House, according to a Brookings Institution report that tracked departures of senior officials over the last 40 years.

The next-highest turnover rate for an administration’s first year was Ronald Reagan’s, with 17% of senior aides leaving their posts in 1981.

Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton saw much lower turnovers during their first year in office—9%, 6%, and 11%, respectively.

I find it disgusting that maiming two people and leaving them to die (if they had survived, runners rarely check) would get 8 years and fleeing 10, but I don't doubt it.
Depends on the state, but I think convicts with good behavior do less than 1/2 in most cases. Time served is often even better for them, getting 10 days credit for every 4 served in jail awaiting and during trial. In cali, if it's non-violent and under 4 years, you might get parole instantly, our prisons are full to bursting.

a guy hit and killed two people in my neighborhood and ran away from the scene; I think he ended up with 18 years which I'd guess he ends up serving half (I really don't know how that works); 10 of the years were for fleeing the scene; I would guess fleeing is pretty common; ties into flight or fight
if I remember correctly, I think he was going either 55 or 65 in a 25

FISA Memo | Everything You Need To Know

newtboy says...

Everything you need to know....
There's not a single crime even alluded to in the memo, much less proven. Only accusations of bias against Trump by the agency that handed him the presidency.
The steel dossier was certainly not the only evidence presented to FISA, a fact Republicans are desperate to hide.

Republicans wrote the lax FISA rules, and renewed them just last month over Democratic objection, to make it easy to spy on Muslims in America and fight terrorism.
Those lax rules were used to legally get a warrant, and renew it.

Republicans eventually (after blocking voting on it for a week+) voted to release the Democratic memo, after it had been already submitted to the FBI and DOJ first and had a 10 day viewing period. The Republican memo was not subject to review. They also knew Trump would veto it's release, and he has so far. The democrats all voted to release the Republican memo...at the same time and with the same restrictions as the rebuttal, Republicans all voted against that.

Bias does not automatically make one not credible, or incapable of properly investigating crimes. Honest people are biased against liars. Most law enforcement is biased against criminal perpetrators. Intelligence agents are biased against traitors.

If bias was a disqualifier for investigation, what has the Republican party been doing looking at Clinton? They clearly should have recused themselves, but in that case bias against her was a prerequisite to be part of the investigation team. A little consistency would be nice, guys.

In short, this is utter bullshit distraction, fake misleading opinion based on factual omission made by those who've made a career of making unsupported, often debunked charges against political enemies, not credible evidence of crimes or improper action by anyone. Sorry @bobknight33

Fixperts - A Button Fastener for 82 year old Tom

newtboy says...

If that were all you had said, I would not have replied, nor even disagreed.....but it's not.

What you ACTUALLY said was "rheumatoid arthritis is a flare up caused by dairy and certain meats", which is pure and utter bullshit culled from McDougal's constant total misrepresentation of other people's work. Again, the studies he's referencing made no such claim, and the scientists that preformed them actually clearly said no such claim is possible to deduce from the studies. This is his clear MO, misrepresenting other people's scientific work to further his movement (and sell books, speaking engagements and the McDougal Program, an expensive 10-day residential program located in Santa Rosa, California).

I'm pretty sure "Dr" McDougal isn't actually a doctor either, since he clearly can't even read a simple synopsis of a medical study without misreading it completely and claiming results that were not observed, every time. If he is a doctor, he's a terrible student and practitioner that should have his license removed. You should really give him up.

I really think gun control laws are about making sure an armed mob doesn't form TRY to overthrow authority.
They are also an attempt, granted a poor attempt, to put roadblocks in the way of whack jobs and irate murderous people in (often vain) hopes that they'll either be calmed by the wait or denied. While those roadblocks can be circumvented, they do likely stop many crimes of passion that would otherwise turn to attempted murders just by making the gunmen wait. Of course, that does nothing to stop dispassionate murderers or those that stay mad longer than the 10 day wait.

Also, both of those are huge US problems....uncontrolled emotions AND insanity. ;-)

Payback said:

Gun control laws have always been about making sure a militia doesn't form to overthrow the duly elected secretariat. It has nothing to do with public safety.

If someone wants to go around killing a bunch of people with a gun, they will do that. Period. It happens up here in Canada and we have higher barriers to gun ownership than even what US gun control advocates are asking for. I can go out and buy a fully automatic AK-47 within minutes and I'm in sleepy old Victoria. I've met the people who have access, and they don't care if you're a whack job.

What we don't have is routine legal gun deaths from people who merely get pissed off. THAT is the US problem. Emotions, not insanity.

Most excellent! I'm still flummoxed over "time" in regard to OZ based on my whirlwind experience back in April 2001. I do recall that I became a "day" person for 10 days ... no jet lag for me!

Jon Stewart's "Rosewater" Trailer

blackoreb says...

Maziar Bahari appeared in a Daily Show segment 10 days before he was arrested. The footage was used against him while he was being interrogated and tortured. Jon Stewart had a personal stake in this particular story.

Also, no one is complaining about your feedback - it is the here-is-an-unrelated-topic-that-I-care-about bit that is cringe worthy.

Love J.S. but I think a film about how Guantanamo has locked up and tortured 86 innocent people for 10 years might be more relevant for a U.S. audience. Yes, 86 prisoners cleared for release, still locked up.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/04/25/kafka-at-gitmo-why-86-prisoners-are-cleared-for-release-but-might-never-get-it/

Instead we get a film about how evil Iran is, by an U.S. director
