    Saudis killed another journalist. Has anyone heard from CNN? I desperately need to know how outraged I should be. Please magic TV box, TELL ME WHAT TO THINK!

    UK refuses to offer asylum to Pakistani woman who spent 8 years on death row in Pakistan for "blasphemy" because it might upset Muslims. Anyone in US who advocates violence for blasphemy needs to be sent to Guantanimo and caged like the animal they are. I dont care if its Christians or Muslims. If we let these Muslims come in dont be surprised when they start pushing for Blasphemy laws in the future.






    We need to sanction Pakistan heavily and ban them from coming here. If they want to come here have someone tell them Muhammed was a pedophile and pig ****er. If they get upset then dont let their dumb ass in.

    Canadian supreme court to hear case of woman fined for not holding the handrail on an escalator. The official charge is failure to obey a pictogram. No thats not even a real law. Lower courts told the victim to **** off. So suprising that the supreme court will hear it.

    Good article about the war on drugs and corrupt police in Brazil. Over 8000 people murdered by police in the last 10 years with 75% being black. A councilwoman who spoke out on police brutality was assasinated outside city hall. This war on drugs is just aa bad as Nazism. Its global effects are catastrophic. It is the holocaust in slow motion.

    Cop found passed out drunk on duty with loaded weapons. He tries and fails to drive off. Funny how they dont even point their guns at him as he tries to put the car in drive. In the end the criminal only gets a 30 day suspension. Absolute joke.

    Did they violate the law? Dont do the crime if you cant do the crime. Just because they are being tortured does not mean its state sponsored. Quite a lot of similar atrocities happen in our own prison and its just the guards being assholes, not a directive from above. If we just brush that off I dont see why we should be worried about other countries prisoners.

    We need less government regulation involved.

    If people are free to just buy the romaine lettuce and get sick, in the future the free market will dictate which romaine lettuce gets bought and the market will correct itself. We don't need government telling us what to buy and ruining the business of the farmers.

    This is a lesson sturg has been trying to teach us for years. Get the government out of regulating food safety and the farmers won't be selling tainted romaine lettuce.

    It's a shame the CIA briefing about Khashoggi is going to now be moved aside in the headlines because of the Flynn memo.

    Graham pretended to have a spine for half a day. Rand posted a weird tweet about the deep state. GOP smart to put the MBS hearing hours before the Flynn announcement.

    It seems somewhat weird that I haven't seen any condemnation about Macron using tear gas on his own people on this board

    If we condemn every time a government uses tear gas on people its going to be a long thread. When people are protesting for more government to take care of them I just find it funny that they get tear gassed by that same government.

    They're actually protesting bc the government is raising taxes on them to fight climate change

    man this is stupid...decisions on tear gas are typically local police decisions...i was living in oakland when tear gas was used on occasion (sometimes involving antifa)...no one called that obama using tear gas on his own people...i think tear gas was also used in ferguson, missouri...again a local police decision

    i guess macron is not up there in your pantheon of heroes next to ron paul

    btw i have some good news...willful obtuseness can be cured without reassignment surgery
