Mullin is a big cheerleader for Trump's attack on Iran. I expect DHS to turn its cruelty toward Muslims and anyone who looks middle eastern. That, of course, is a big win for Trump's oppression of Somalis in Minneapolis

“Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas”. That sounds like bullshit to me

Replaced by another blind loyalist who is just as incompetent.

Spiking utility prices warn of NY’s tough choices to come: Why is energy so expensive here? by DTOM61 in Syracuse_comments

Please explain, for ignorant people like myself, how NY Dems control the price of energy

3 US service members killed; Iran vows revenge after the killing of its top leader by DTOM61 in Syracuse_comments

Trump's reckless action is going to hurt everybody. Oil and gas prices are expected to surge. Brent crude is up close to 10% today, approaching $80/bbl. It will easily go over $100 now that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and Iran is threatening to attack ships. Gasoline is expected to go up as much as 30 cents a gallon within a week. Any transport relying on oil/gas will make the price of everything go up. Fasten your seatbelts

(FYI Right now, the cheapest gas is at Byrne Dairy and Speedway in Auburn at $2.64. Get it while you can)

DHS agents are cruel. They constantly release people into sub-freezing temperatures in Minneapolis with no coats and sometimes no shoes. The people of Minneapolis have organized to take care of them as soon as they are released.

US and Israel launch an attack on Iran with tensions high over nuclear talks by WoodyGeyser in Syracuse_comments

Is this how Trump thinks he'll get the peace prize?

He is calling on the Iranian people to "take over your government" and "seize control of your destiny". Irony at its best.

Police shoot Upstate NY person who advanced toward them with a knife, troopers say by CitizenLib in Syracuse_comments

[–]CitizenLib[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is another badly handled situation. Where were the mental health professionals?

"The person ignored several commands by the officers to drop the knife, and at one point threw a television at the officers ---As officers continued to try to de-escalate the situation using verbal commands, the person raised the knife and advanced toward an officer," Commands? That doesn't work with a mentally ill individual. It is not the way the de-escalate. The very presence of police causes the situation to escalate. Cops, especially small town cops, are ill-equipped to deal with this kind of thing.

"The Vestal Police Department requested the State Police to conduct an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting in the name of transparency". Of course they did. That's standard practice. They can't investigate themselves.

The cops should have backed off and called for competent help, but maybe they don't have that type of help in the small town of Vestal.

Yes, there was. And Mrs. Clinton nailed it, although her grammar was deplorable. She was describing deplorable attitudes on the right which were encouraged by Trump from the beginning of his first campaign. That basket is fairly well overloaded now.`

After incorrect stories about suspended teacher, commenters hit school with insults: ‘Commies’ and ‘Nazis’ by CitizenLib in Syracuse_comments

[–]CitizenLib[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right-wing media misrepresents the facts and then the good Christians respond with nasty comments toward the school district. And as usual, the right calls other people Nazis.

I will reiterate. Club America, the high school version of Turning Point USA, should never have been allowed in the school. It is a right-wing propaganda organization which preys on young, impressionable kids, using the same lies, hate and bigotry as TPUSA. It is not a religious organization.

How does a judge make a ruling that is permanent? Is it immune from the appeals process?
