Meanwhile the New York Democratic party establishment is so scared of upstart progressives and the DSA they're just nominating random members to keep "insurgents" like Ocasio-Cortez from getting nominated.

>There is just one problem: Ms. Gambichler, a 72-year-old retired court clerk, did not know she was running for anything. Nor does she wish to run. “I have no idea what that’s about,” she said.

>She had been nominated, without her knowledge, by the borough’s Democratic Party leadership, which is struggling to maintain control after the longtime Queens party chairman, Representative Joseph Crowley, was trounced by the left-leaning insurgent Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a June Congressional primary that sent tremors through the Democratic establishment nationwide.

>Ms. Gambichler is hardly alone.

>The New York Times called dozens of the Queens party machine’s nominees for county committee. The candidates for 21 seats were running without their consent.

>Most of these candidates did not know they were running at all until a reporter told them; two, including Ms. Gambichler, found out when they got letters from the city Board of Elections showing how their names would appear on the Sept. 13 primary ballot. Only four candidates The Times spoke to said they were running on purpose.

Exactly.

If the government can force you to buy insurance, what's to stop them from forcing you to buy snowblowers and boats, too?

Americans scream anyone who loves war, debt, and tyranny is normal and anyone who loves peace, balanced budgets, and freedom is a nutjob.

Well, hm, it did not take too long to blame Russia for something. Because NATO is a defensive alliance and absolutely never wants and even capable of simulating GNSS spoofing attack.

Surprisingly, media narrowly avoids directly blaming Russia for collision with the tanker, since, it turns out, their transponder was offline and they weren't reacting to environment too well.

>The responses from Ingstad appear confused, at one point saying that if they altered the course it would take them too close to the shoals, which prompted Sola TS to respond that they had to do something or a collision would be unavoidable.
>Contributing to the confusion, the Ingstad appears to have been transiting with its Automatic Identification System switched off. That seems to have delayed recognition by central control and the other ships in the area that Ingstad was inbound and heading into danger, the account in VG seems to indicate.

>On Nov. 13, 2018, Rear Admiral Nils Andreas Stensoenes, head of Norway's navy, disclosed that multiple steel wires anchoring the Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate to the shore had snapped overnight. At present, only a portion of ship's main mast, which holds its advanced AN/SPY-1F radar, a key component of its version of the Aegis Combat System, along with a small portion of the rear superstructure, remain above the waterline. On Nov. 11, 2018, the Norwegian Armed Forces, or Forsvaret, had said the ship was "stable." Over the weekend, workers had also added two additional anchor wires between the vessel and the shore, for a total of seven.

The CRA was a moral choice, but flatly unconstitutional on its face. We need the same thing, but done properly as an amendment. I don't think getting the immigration act out of the way in favor of strong immigration reform needs an explanation, and Roe vs Wade should have always been a State by State issue per the 10th Amendment.

https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2018/7/22/17600344/kavanaugh-watergate-executive-power-nixon

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s views on presidential powers are not helping those concerned about the integrity of the Russia investigation sleep better at night. The latest development: the judge’s suggestion many years ago that the Supreme Court might have gotten it wrong when it compelled President Richard Nixon to turn over the Watergate tapes.

In the trove of documentation Kavanaugh turned in to the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of the confirmation process is a 1999 roundtable discussion where Kavanaugh floated the idea that maybe the United States’ highest court made a mistake in 1974. That’s the year it ruled unanimously in United States v. Nixon that the president had to hand over to a federal district court the tape recordings and other subpoenaed materials tied to the Watergate break-in. Mark Sherman at the Associated Press was the first to report the comments.

Kavanaugh’s belief in the importance of executive power is already under scrutiny, especially in light of special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation and the possibility that President Donald Trump could be subpoenaed or, less likely, indicted. As Vox’s Jen Kirby points out, the Supreme Court could wind up hearing some element of the Russia investigation, and there’s a possibility Kavanaugh could be one of the justices to decide on the matter.

In a transcript of a roundtable discussion published in the January-February 1999 issue of the Washington Lawyer on attorney-client privilege, Kavanaugh suggested that the Nixon case might have been “wrongly decided.” Per the AP, he said:

But maybe Nixon was wrongly decided — heresy though it is to say so. Nixon took away the power of the president to control information in the executive branch by holding that the courts had power and jurisdiction to order the president to disclose information in response to a subpoena sought by a subordinate executive branch official. That was a huge step with implications to this day that most people do not appreciate sufficiently...Maybe the tension of the time led to an erroneous decision.
At another point, he said perhaps the court should have stayed out of the dispute altogether.

It’s not necessarily an open-and-shut case that Kavanaugh disagrees with the Supreme Court’s 8-0 decision on the Nixon tapes.

There is no sanity in the USA anymore.

How can you deal with Americans when they look you in the eye and say that the
US had TSA groping in 1776?

Well that's fucking retarded. If he's supposed to be a hunter, he should have a gun. That's the whole point, he should have a Marlin lever action or a Mini 14 or something, because double barrels are stupid, but he must have a gun, or it makes no sense.

Glib doesn't mean right, faggot.

One thing worse than living in a police state is finding out that no one cares.

Those who love freedom should use a scientific equation to find out the most effective way to spread freedom. Which method would result in waking the most people up? Would spending $3000 on a billboard lead to 30 Americans becoming Libertarians?

Couldn't promoting liberty be fun?

Assange, Snowden, John Stossel, John Whitehead, and Ron Paul all love freedom, but the US could use more Libertarian leaders.

The US is running out of time. Tyranny always ends with concentration camps.

Yeah, ok. B52s are not flying out of A'stan, therefore there's no reason to be flying low enough to get hit by Taliban ground fire. No manpad in the world capable of hitting a high altitude B52.
