Cincinnati Police Running Man Challenge

Military will refuse to obey unlawful orders from Pres Trump

newtboy says...

Sadly, it's only after leaving the positions of power that people seem to realize this is true, that you are required to analyze orders and to refuse those that are illegal (and question those that are unreasonable or appear illegal).
In practice, questioning orders is a good way to end up in military prison.
Also, most fear losing their position of power far more than they fear being caught following illegal orders. Few if any have ever been prosecuted.
It's for this reason that we have the crimes exposed by Manning and Snowden, up to and including mass murders, torture, illegal indefinite detention, etc. , that have never been prosecuted, but those who exposed the illegal orders and acts have been prosecuted, whistleblower protection laws be damned.
It's pretty disingenuous for this man to say that Trump's illegal orders would be questioned and ignored when all the illegal orders he received during his tenure were followed without question.

EDIT: Interesting, I just found out he's publicly supported by the KKK, and American National SuperPac, founded by a consortium of white terror groups, but he claims to not know who they are. Reports out of Super Tuesday states Minnesota and Vermont have revealed there are recorded calls telling voters Trump will stop the “gradual genocide against the white race” and to not vote for Marco Rubio because he’s “Cuban.”
Trump has yet to disavow any of these terrorist racial groups, but has accepted money from them. That should certainly disqualify him from holding high public office and really should have him on the terrorist watch list, he's associated with and accepts fudging from well know, active terrorist groups.

Here's Why You Need Winter Tires As Shown By A Tricycle

00Scud00 says...

I've lived in Minnesota my whole life and have never bothered with snow tires. I guess I'm just not too keen on paying 1000 bucks or more on a set of tires I probably won't use for even half the year. Upvote because the trikes are kinda cool looking, but the commercial itself is nothing special.

Fire The Catzooka

00Scud00 says...

Fish tanks are fine if they're made from the same glass as the bear exhibit at the Minnesota Zoo, those are only susceptible to bears carrying large rocks. If we're talking Doom, I don't know about a Catzooka, but there was a Chicken Launcher.

Retroboy said:

Nonsense.

Fish tanks would be DOOMED.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: U.S. Territories

yonderboy says...

While I find it entertaining and hilarious, this is simply horrible strawmanning. The US has one of the simplest systems of inclusion of any major nation. He either is not understanding, or he's simply being a demagogue about it.

It's really, really simple.

Want full rights? Then join permanently. Become a state. It's literally the exact same thing that Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii did.

Guam, the Marianas, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands have the EXACT SAME OPTIONS as those states listed above had when those states were territories.

Samoa is different because they don't meet the minimum population requirement (60K) to be bumped up to qualify for statehood.

They're pretty close tho.

But yeah... it has nothing to do with race or bigotry or anything like that. If John Oliver can't understand that simple system, then how does he explain the different rights of citizens in the British Overseas Territories vs the British Crown Dependencies, or how Wales and Scotland are sort of countries and sort of not countries.

I'm assuming he can understand the wonky UK system, and if that's so, he should easily understand the simple US system (want full rights, vote to join permanently).

Just last year, there was a movement in Guam to call for a vote of statehood. Basically a glorified (but meaningful) petition. They didn't get the required % of people wanting to vote, so, in essence, Guam doesn't even care enough to vote for statehood.

They have every right that every other territory has had in terms of what category they fall under.

Basically, just look at states as permanent (and thusly more rights as well as more responsibilities) and territories as temporary until they decide what they want to be. Or territories can stay in limbo forever.

Guam, PR, and the rest can go the route of Hawaii (okay, that was naked imperialism but whatever) or the route of Cuba and the Philippines... or just stay how they are.

Horrifying 120 car crash in Michigan

BigAlski says...

Ok I drive trucks and live in Minnesota, we get HORRIBLE weather all the time. People take shit seriously up here when it comes to driving in bad weather. This storm hit us too, I drove Semi's in it and got home fine. It's idiotic to drive 50+ on poor roads in white out conditions which all those vehicles were doing.

Ferguson Police Acted as Revenue Agents, Fining Everything

00Scud00 says...

I don't know how it's handled in the rest of the country but here in Minnesota people drive in the far left lane all the time, and in 20+ years of driving I've never been ticketed for it. Sounds like one of those laws on the books that nobody bothers to enforce because just about everyone realizes it's stupid. So if the state decides to suddenly start enforcing it tomorrow is it legal? Sure, but it's still a dick move and more about increasing revenue than public safety.

Brittany Maynard - Death with Dignity

When all information regarding this topic needs to be filtered through "peer reviewed scientific studies" invariably funded by mega corporations who have nothing to gain from discovering whole plant based cures, your opinions will be more than a little biased.

Here's a few accounts:

"Ten months ago girlfriend was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. Immediately switch to all organics/non GMOS and started taking the oil. Half way into the treatment test results showed the lesion had shrunk half its size and was now precancerous. Last week new tests showed she is not only CANCER FREE but PREGNANT which they said may never happen. Rick Simpson I really owe you, brother. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Jason
“I have a good friend Scott with cerebral palsy. About 6yrs ago he was in and out of hospital, they just throw in meds at him. Finally his mom said there's got to be another way. After he went from 200 pounds to 110 we thought we were gonna lose him until he started consuming cannabis. After six months he was back to normal and put all the weight back on and takes half the meds. He has outlived 3 times over what doctors said and they say he's just lucky. I have other thought.” Shane
“This is my brother who the dr said he had 2 months with inoperable liver cancer. That was a year ago. His tumor has shrunk to 1/4 size. His tumor markers went from 5667 to 94. He is living proof. He still runs his own business. Both Northwestern in Chicago and Mayo clinic in Rochester Minnesota gave him that diagnosis. He consumes the oil.” Holley
“Thank God we found Rick’s site when we did..... I started the oil 4 months ago and the spot where my tumor was removed is closed up!!! They told my GBM stage 4. And I would die in a year and half. Been 15 months and feel better than ever.... We really want to tell the world!!!!! Saved my life for sure.” Rachel

-- Tell everyone you can that there is a safe and effective cure/control for cancer, and that it can be used as a prevention against cancer, too. The sooner you start spreading the word in your community the sooner people will overcome their hesitations and will demand this medicine. Be ready for a lot of resistance in the beginning. If you let them read posts and comments on this page, I think it will take less time to convince them. Thank you for your help in spreading the word about this medicine. JB

More info and testimonials: "Cure for Cancer: Rick Simpson Protocol -- the newest book from Rick Simpson and Jindrich Bayer specifically details how to use cannabis extract medicine to cure cancer, going into extensive detail on the official Rick Simpson protocol."

Flying a Mexican flag in the USA is UN-AMERICAN

Ickster says...

She should come to Minnesota and tear down all the Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish flags you can find in this state.

Oh, wait. She wouldn't object to those, because those are white people's heritage.

Cop throws himself onto car and acts as if he were hit

newtboy says...

Minnesota. Thank you. Finally. Good, I won't feel like I'm missing too much avoiding it.
I took a 'test' that tens of thousands took, and scored well above the 98th percentile. It wasn't a silly 'personality test' either, but a multi-phasic knowledge test. Thank you very much.
Personality tests are simple to lie on and pass unless you are a moron and stupidly state you want to be a cop so you can get away with crimes and bully others. 'Passing' one is nothing to feel superior about, especially when there's no reference showing what they want in a personality, maybe they're simply looking for stupid thugs that are team players and bullies.
All cops take those tests. We can see the quality of people that 'pass' those tests. I notice you didn't mention the IQ test you had to 'fail' in order to 'pass'. LOL!

I wonder how many of you had to take a test to get hired, a test that 200-300 people took, then took the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality inventory test, and to score in the top ten, then to be interviewed by a sociologist or psychotherapist, then a psychiatrist, then interviewed by the head of the organization and two other representatives of the local governing authority?

That's what I thought.

Why I Don't Like the Police

SDGundamX says...

Please watch this video and tell that guy about how it is just "hyperbole." By the way, the department that cop belonged to is still calling it a justifiable taze.

lantern53 said:

Cameras might be a good idea, but how many people will sit around watching the thousands of normal interactions between POs and civilians?

I agree that busting down doors for marijuana and shooting dogs is a terrible thing and should stop. Meth labs...might be a different story.

I read a book about a cop in the Rampart area of LA...they had runs involving shots fired every week. Under those circumstances you develop a different mindset.

In the book Hell in the Pacific the author talks about how they used to just bayonet the Japanese instead of shooting them..it saved bullets. I for one cannot imagine bayoneting a person, but under those circumstances, otherwise normal people did terrible things.

Anyway, you can't just tase a person because they refuse to provide identification. That is hyperbole.
