"Remember Obama didn't earn the presidency, it was given to him"- FOX News
Edit: the moment I posted this, not kidding. "There is a dangerous new game for African american teens" WOW
Referring to the knock out game. Is there any evidence this is a black thing or just asshole teens?

This is quite an opportunity, and I'm glad Obama has a lot of unilateral power here. The opposition really highlights a general problem that has been brewing for decades, in terms of braindead foreign policy. People's idea of "strength" is completely warped. Welcoming Iran to the table in no way threatens anyone. You would think that Iran's recent behavior would unquestionably demonstrate that the sanctions worked and continue to work, and diplomacy can work.
Neutralizing Iran would completely change the politics of US foreign policy. Right now it allows both parties, especially republicans, to sabre rattle; there are rich donors who literally get boners at the thought of bombing Iran, and senators/representatives love dancing for them with violent rhetoric. Stripping that "threat" all of a sudden leaves republicans without their biggest talking point.

Can you describe this game because I know a few versions of it, 2 of which is basketball related?

God, I completely forgot about that game (Basketball, line up and if the person who was behind you scores you're knocked out). Bringing me back to my middle school days.
It's this .
If I were trying to woo a Cossack, I probably wouldn't want to invoke Russian history...
As for the European side, there's a 1. Kosaken-Kavallerie-Division joke to be made but I'm not going to make it.

Yo that's fucked up.
I think Oregon and Colorado are more realistic targets. Didnt oregon have a measure up recently? Well, it would probably pass now
If that's true then shouldn't the UE rate gone way down long before FDR started his awful spending binge?

At what point is the supreme court going to just rule on the issue for all states?
If PA and NM fall won't that be close to 40% of the US population?

FDR was a republican therefore he did not do spending. You must be thinking of Nixon.

Wow bret baier just called out tucker carlson for the conservative health care plan specifically repealing the employer tax credit as being way more disruptive to the market than Obamacare. Is this still fox news?
Lol judge napolitano's solution randomly includes repealing the 16th and 17th amendment cause somehow that has to do with health care?

Well everything I found so far seems to be done by black people, so I don't know if white kids doing it doesn't get covered or if it is just a black thing.
That said, Fox News is still being extremely racist about this whole thing by really hyping this thing up to be much much larger than it really is. You can't concern troll by asking questions about if black society is to blame when there's 45 million black people in America and there's like 5 incidents like this per year. I can't find any statistics on it, but if it were higher than than that I'm sure Fox News might use the actual statistic instead of vague statements like how it's "sweeping the nation".

There are so many small lies throughout the day on FOX.
Rand Paul just said since his staff has to sign up for Obamacare he's very familiar with the error page.
Staffers sign up through DCHealthLink not HealthCare.gov they're not seeing errors.
Edit: He just said he's going to bring "economic freedom zones" to america. Low tax zones in impoverished areas. Rand Paul is bringing 3rd world economic policy to America. we've fallen this low.

Dunno, I think libertarians are on an entirely different scale. There are plenty of sensible assholes, but I'm not sure any sensible true libertarians - not fake libertarians - exist.
Well, sure. But that still doesn't help Stossel's argument.

Great piece by Wemple in the Post about Mike Allen's Playbook and his penchant for blurring the lines between advertising and news. Playbook isn't really read by non-dc people but its read by the people that decide what news goes on CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, etc. It 'drives the day'. And its pretty much run by corporations and lobbyist.
You know, I would have tolerated keeping the filibuster around, if it wasn't for the extremely high probability that Republicans would no doubt nuke it themselves the first chance they got.
Was this posted? Republican boy genius, Paul Ryan, plans to re-brand himself as the champion of the poor:

Its really weird how many times I've seen him wondering around the Capitol by himself listening to his iPod. I legitimately don't know when he does work.
This dude was kinda sorta close to being president and now he wonders around now looking where he's going.

What an asshole. You want these poor people to work? Then pass a god-damn jobs program that creates jobs.
So the trey radel thing the cops just go back to his place and chat about it? never would have happened if he was
Seriously though, would the cops have gone back to a black dude's apartment after a coke bust, regardless of his standing as a representative?
not a senator?

Question. Covered California sez I'm not eligible for subsidies. My income is ~30k. I thought you get subsidies if you're up to 400% of the poverty rate. What is the meaning of this?!

I believe its actually based on percentage of income. So if your young the premiums are low enough that it doesn't cost that much relative to what do you make

Radel isn't resigning so far.
Good, You shouldn't have to resign for making a mistake that doesn't vitally affect your job duty. There are elections for that.
I actually respect Radel for saying he's gonna try to be a role model for getting help. If he acts on this and shows drug abuse to be a problem we need to fix and to help others I think he can end up doing a lot of good. There's a conservative case for helping and fixing this issue. It isn't conservative for demonizing drug abusers

It isnt conservative to waste a shit ton of money locking drug users up when there is a much more effective and cheaper option available, but it seems like many of the conservatives in Washington arent conservatives. They are ideologues and moralists.
But yea, I hope he stays on and gets help. It would be a good example to show that hard drug users arent hobos living in a crack den. A lot of them work regular jobs.

Oh for love of god Obama get the ACA fixed so we can get it behind us before the next shutdown.
Well, Rand Paul and that Utah guy have been inching their way towards that position, so that might give him some cover to go further (or all the way, hopefully).
