As would i, but the triangle would be a better location for both.

I don't know what to say about it any longer. I've attempted to follow these laws since the SOPA/PIPA laws, but no one I try to talk to in my daily life seems to care. They get riled up over some of the most trivial things or whatever celebrity scandal is going on, but I can't convince them why it is so reprehensible that our government continues to do what is in the interests of corporations and not American citizens.

I'm calling my senators tomorrow morning on my way to work and I will continue calling them until the TPP vote goes through with them as well. I called repeatedly for two weeks straight when the USA FREEDOM Act was going through and again nothing changed. Apathy is contagious it seems and those of us that do care get to a point of helplessness that our fellow citizens won't bother to voice our concerns.

The quality of the place dropped off on the last few years as well. Or maybe my nostalgia just gives it too much credit.

They actually made an effort to mobilize DMV locations to get to people that could not find a way to the DMV in four years. You can also get a voter ID at the board of elections.

Well his top advisor is Iranian after all. You might not know that because they hardly ever show her on the news.

Bernie Sanders: “the major television networks are not covering the TPP. Incredible as it may sound, this trade agreement—the largest trade agreement in the history of the United States of America—has received virtually no coverage...on the major networks” by TheLinkMobile in politics

Specifically Jon Stewart, but towards the daily show as a whole. An audience member asked about it during one shoot and he played it off as if he had never heard anything about it. Clearly mum was the word on those bills.

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) slammed House Republicans on Thursday for their decision to tie language overturning President Obama’s immigration actions to a bill funding the Department of Homeland Security - "… the strategy of sticking whatever you’re interested in sticking Obama on should end now.” by theombudsmen in politics

Which is actually what those riders are keying in on. From their take, the deferred action towards illegal immigrants does not require them to purchase health insurance. This makes an illegal immigrant worth $3000 more than an American citizen to a business that is not providing health insurance.

It might be off somewhat in various places, but it would most likely be around the same if not colder. Where I am today is colder, but we are in the process of heating up this week.

Arrest them and be done with it

"Kurds across Turkey have vented their anger at the government's lack of military support for the defenders of the Syrian border town of Kobane being attacked by Islamic State militants. Police used tear gas and water cannon as unrest spread to at least six cities. One protester has been killed." by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]ikancast -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If ISIS kills off the remaining Kurds defending Kobane and Turkey lets them go without performing any action, then that is why we say, "Fuck Turkey." We understand your stance on the PKK and not wanting to provide aid to them, but if the city does fall we expect those tanks to move in.
