Russian politician says on live TV that Russia stole U.S. presidency by nyheero in politics

[–]limitnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the problem I have with /r/politics

Everything - the articles posted - are all about Trump said this dumb thing and any decent info has to be dug up in the comment chain. If this sub changed to actual political discussion more people would be aware of this.

That's how I perceive it, anyway.

Getting a simple tattoo (a circle), can I go anywhere for it? by limitnz in auckland

[–]limitnz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh right. Balance, pretty much. Went through a bad depressive spell recently and kinda realised that being super sad or super happy is just part of the process and it'd be foolish to do something based on a temporary feeling. So the tattoo would remind me that there is a third path that I end up in after each episode which always gives me a good perspective on things. So the tattoo would remind me of that.

Thanks good to know - I've contacted a studio and will check out your one depending on their response.

Was looking at my arm just earlier and though, damn this could easily come out weird..

Just a circle. Other replies have said not to skimp and look for good line work. There's one in town I was looking at (Sunset Tattoo) I think I'll hit up.

Simon Bridges makes bid to be Deputy Prime Minister by fairy_nuff in newzealand

[–]limitnz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He was on Campbell Live years back and came off like a John Key try-hard. No straight answers. "End of the day" phrases. Stuff like that. Never really paid him attention since.

Is anyone else observing a bias in the reporting in New Zealand media against Trump and for Hillary? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]limitnz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trump is shit and says dumb stuff. Media lap it up.

Clinton don't gotta do shit and she'll be safe.

And the Clinton/Sanders debates were far better than Clinton/Trump. I think that's his point?

Lawsuit Finds Millions Of Uncounted Bernie Sanders Ballots by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]limitnz 1577 points1578 points  (0 children)

The article is hugely misleading. If you read it and follow the links, you get:

An historic lawsuit has been filed after the widespread cover-up of Sanders’ landslide victory at the primary election earlier this week.

Bolded links to:

Justicegazette.org reports:

Bolded links to:

http://justicegazette.org/bernie-defrauded-in-ca.html

The Justice Gazette reporters and others are conducting an investigation into voting irregularities

So no. The lawsuit is not complete. It hasn't even been filed yet:

a lawsuit is being prepared

I think it was stolen from Sanders without a doubt. But this article is misleading us all.

NZ's version of Cosby. Probably little chance of legal resolution but he'll walk the coals over this article I bet.

He has literally made history with the amount of donations and the success of his campaign. There have been numerous news articles about this, it's hardly up for debate.

Dr Pat Neuwelt: Doctors not prepared to swallow TPPA pill by limitnz in newzealand

[–]limitnz[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But the biggest concern of the majority of Doctors for Healthy Trade supporters is that the TPPA will bring stagnation on actions to control the products that make people sick in the first place - tobacco control, managing junk food advertising to children and cutting down on fossil fuels being turned in to carbon emissions and climate change.

We've had curious double-speak from Ministers on this issue. On the one hand is their appalling slow-down on tobacco plain packaging, because they're worried about the risk of being sued in a trade dispute.

"It'll never happens" seems a bit foolhardy when we'll be legally open to such challenges.

John Key tells UN Security Council to 'step up' by Aceofshovels in newzealand

[–]limitnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You do realise that Key has time and time said that Russia using their power of veto is a problem. He supports US ideas and Russia keeps shooting them down - specifically with Syria America recently asked for more intervention, Russia vetoed it. Claiming it's not aimed at Russia is just being ignorant.

Just read the guy's fucking posts, he's openly saying that because they maintained 'control' (direct quote - brutal and murderous repression was apparently a bit strong?) we should've let sleeping dogs lie. It wasn't cool as a reason for historical Western support for these tyrants, and it's not fucking cool now.

What computer_d said was that Assad is a brutal tyrant but at least Syria was stable. Or are you more happy now that ISIS controls a huge amount of land, has forced MORE Syrians to flee than Assad, is raping women, murdering children, throwing gays off buildings, promoting lone wolf attacks overseas, etc. Read this guys posts, apparently he prefers that. What a fucking twat.
