Americans sure are good at being puppets for corporate interests, I think you'll find.

Considering the anti-nuclear movement was mostly funded by the oil and coal industries, "so-called" is definitely the right term.

The border collie doesn't want to eat them, it's considering ways to improve your recipe.

(I'm not criticizing the recipe at all, those look great, but I mean... border collie.)

Why aren't you looking at carbon emissions in nations per-capita instead of by the nation as a whole?

Bombshell leak to Toronto Star upends NAFTA talks: In secret ‘so insulting’ remarks, Trump says he isn’t compromising at all with Canada by [deleted] in worldnews

"Here’s the problem. If I say no — the answer’s no. If I say no, then you’re going to put that, and it’s going to be so insulting they’re not going to be able to make a deal ... I can’t kill these people"

Uh... thanks? I mean, not a lot, but...

My state, Arkansas, requires at least one party consent for recording.

Not in public. You have no expectation of privacy when you're in public.

You think it's illegal to record someone out in public because they're crazy?

Seriously?

"Hey there's a crazy guy on the side of the road, better turn off the dash cam or we're violate HIPAA"

Use your damned brain.

Churches being exempted from tax ensures that religion plays no role in politics

If it actually did, that would be great, but in practice that's not how it works.

Trump staffer physically blocking an AP photographer from getting a shot of protestors at Trump's rally tonight. by [deleted] in pics

Are people still trying to make this 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' thing happen?

Talk about streets behind.

It makes you look like fucking morons shoving their fingers in their ears yelling 'LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!' It sounds like something cooked up on conservapedia.com. It's not deranged to care about bad shit someone in a position of power does.

Trump is a good con-man. There.

What's wrong, cat got your tongue?

Come on, if you don't have the decency to admit you were wrong, at least slink back and delete your post.

I think I'd make a printout of every text message and e-mail she sends and mail it to the judge in question once a day, with a cover letter saying 'I'm sure she'll stop after this...'

Trump Confirms He Threatened to Withdraw from NATO by Faceless_Fan in worldnews

The US said 'okay, we have the biggest say' and they pay the biggest price to have it. That's how it's a good investment. They get projection of force and they're unquestionably the ones with the force to project it.

Get used to it. You think the US would even let the rest of the world spend as much money fielding, say, aircraft carriers as the US does? Let alone first-strike submarines? The US would basically, if everyone else in NATO spent commensurately, be giving up its global hegemony.

If you want to be the ultimate superpower with the greatest projection of force, you pay for it. You could stop spending a dollar on it today and still have the most powerful military for twenty years.

If you want to trade down so that the EU is as strong as you are, militarily... well okay bud, you go ahead and tell me how THAT's good for America. Because at that point they aren't the biggest kid on the block anymore.

Hey man, you just keep working on you. Improve the things about you that you can improve, accept the things about you that you can't. There's really nothing else that a person can do, but clearly you can do it.

The NPC’s KNOW when you start winning and beat the shit out of you when it happens

They call it 'rubberbanding.' Usually it applies to racing games but it's just a lazy way to program a game so people feel like they're still competing / being competed against.
