House GOP not waiting until January; War on Science and the EPA begins now

[Valmy]

Elections have consequences.

Not really.  Same shit, different assholes.

I think there was a big difference between Bloomberg and de Blasio.

That makes you sound like an ignorant asshole.

[Razgovory]

Most of that stuff is bullshit, but I am surprised that Fast and Furious didn't become a bigger scandal.

They wanted something to tie the President.  Bring down a regional director of the ATF isn't good enough.

Whoa, Jake just turned heel. You join the four horsemen?

Nah, Jacob's an idealist.  He came down on Valmy because what Valmy posted was quite cynical.

Well V did just mimic the reasoning that leads the young apathetic voter not to vote.

I personally advocate political violence.  Corruption has rendered the process of voting irrelevant, so why not return to pre-democratic methods?  Terrorist methods wouldn't be terrorism if you were targeting politicians.

I don't think anyone would buy that - as in no one's reaction would be "oh well he just plans to target politicians, duh."

Maybe.  I'm just saying that if a guy were to throw a bomb into a car carrying a Congressman or something, I wouldn't call it terrorism.

Nah.  Wait for the other guy to draw first then land on them with both feet.  It worked in the 1860's.

That doesn't really apply in this situation though.  It's not like either party is really planning on doing anything good or useful.  They all want to just rob and steal.  Obviously, the Republicans are more socially damaging, but assassinating a Democrat would be almost as good.

[garbon]

I don't really see how it would help / it would just send lots of ordinary citizens into panic mode.

The side that is causing the most damage is the one most likely to start shit.  Nearly beating Charles Sumner to death on the Senate Floor did not change things.  The South starting a civil war did.

You can't start a civil war now though.  It's not like the party trying to disband government will just secede from the Union or anything.  After all, they're just as drunk of their power and privilege as the other guys.
