  1. If Sally Yates decided to run I would very likely vote for her despite my being largely libertarian. She is a Constitutionalist and there is much evidence to support her being an individual who would work to make things right that trump has been massively fucking up.

  2. I'm of the opinion that an economically strong and secure Mexico is good for everyone. Instead of treating a neighbor and trade partner like shit, working together with them is in everyone's best interest. They may not be part of NATO, but having some sort of agreement that is mutually beneficial would he far superior to the subjugation that is currently taking place of any individual with a Hispanic or Latino heritage.

    Wait... is there a security clearance above the rank of Commander in Chief?

    "Commander in chief" is not a security clearance level. So this question makes zero sense and can not be answered in the manner in which you are asking.

    I don’t think anyone is “disgusted” with Trump. Some people don’t like him but he’s doing a pretty good job as POTUS, settling the NK question and all.

    Not sure if serious.

     

    I am disgusted by dickhead Dolan and have nothing but contempt for his treasonous ass. asset never before has any person occupied the oval office had anything but the country's best interests at heart. Until now, that record stood, even if the plans didn't culminate into anything meaningful, the men holding office still did what they believed best for the country. This assclown has only his own interests mind and doesn't give a single fuck of they ever intersect with the interests of the country.

    The neo-nazis want to be punched in the face.  They want to be the victim of your intolerance so they appear sympathetic and not nearly as bad as the violent opposition.

    I’m just telling you, going down that road plays into their hands.

    Call them out on their hate and denounce their racism. 

    This is the correct answer. The only way to get through this is by sticking together and standing firm by each other's side.

    Our diversity as a society is our strength. No matter what any neo-Nazi or white nationalist claims to the contrary, diversity is the only way we will succeed and advance as a species.

    Surprised at HookemHooah. He's one of my favorite posters because of he is usually super intelligent and calm and kept together; this is out of character from what I've seen.

    Anyways, my only contribution is that I was at a business event and one of the key stakeholders in IT for this company went off on a sort of HookemHooah rant about human trafficking. I'm guessing it's something that people can get passionate about once they get informed, as I'm yet to really be to be honest, but he went off talking about it germane to nothing in IT or business.

    I'm interested in learning more because from what I understand it's a huge issue and I'm not really sure how it is an issue. It's fascinating in that way, as you'd think it would be difficult to do this on a large scale. I'm curious to learn more. That said, his big citations were Ashton Kutcher's talks/works on the matter and a Vice article, so I'm not sure how legitimate?

    I am passionate about human trafficking because I've dealt with it directly. It's among the most horrific aspects of the modern world and something we all need to work together to put an end to. As Blotto succinctly pointed out, it's a power and wealth issue between the haves and havenots; but that also includes the wants and wantnots. I don't aim to disappoint anyone or necessarily impress anyone with my posts. Every human should strive to see human trafficking end and we should demand our governments strive for the same. In all of my time working with the US government, there has always been a long standing policy of catching anyone involved in human trafficking as well as not doing any business with anyone associated with it.

  7. For anyone interested in the Academy series by McDevitt, he published the 8th book in the series in March of this year.

    I plan on picking this book up on my next payday and will probably take a break from my non-fiction books for a little bit so I can read this and give my mind a little reprieve from the intense critical thinking required for those. I've always enjoyed McDevitt's work and like his ideas.

    This one is a good read, I found it challenging my first time through.

    Lisa Randall is a brilliant physicist and Science Communicator. I've read "Warped Passages," I'm now working on "Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs" and will start "Knocking on Heaven's Door" upon completion and processing of the one I'm on now. I will warn anyone now, the concepts in these books can be incredibly difficult to grasp for some and the math that goes into these might as well be an alien language. A healthy grasp of Greek letters and what they represent in physics/maths equations will help in this regard, as would at least a cursory understanding of calculus.

  9. Most recently, I read "Warped Passages" by Lisa Randall. Now, I'm working on her book "Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs."

    Okay but that doesn't change the fact that you and your ilk still are hypocrites when it comes to bashing DJT but giving BHO a pass.

    Stop lumping me in with anyone. You dont get to strawman anything or use any form of equivocation fallacy because I disagree with you. You dont know shit about me, so stop pushing your bullshit idea that you do or have any idea about where I stand with any of Obama's policies.

    Just pointing out your hypocrisy and those other people on the left. 

    BTW mature response which seems to be SOP from those who have little to nothing to say. 

    You seem to think I'm a Democrat for some reason... or that I am politically left leaning in some way. You know literally NOTHING about me except that I don't support that puppet. You would be gravely mistaken to make such bold assumptions about anyone, most especially me.

    I guess you were screaming this SAME thing when the BHO Administration did it.  When you are ARRESTED you are separated in custody. If someone legally in this country with children were arrested and booked for violating the law the same thing happens.  

    Your fake outrage is fake.  

    Anytime human rights violations are committed you're goddamn right I'm outraged I dont care who is the person at the top calling the shots. I dont really give a shit what you think of me, so eabod fuckface.

  13. You want to give this pile of dog shit accolades while his administration is openly committing human rights violations by forcibly removing immigrant children from their parents? FUCK no. I don't care where you stand on the immigration issue, this is human trafficking at a governmental level. How anyone in the republican party can be complicit in this is beyond me and can not be allowed to stand.

    Well yeah. As a Christian, their particular brand of stupidity is mystifying. I understand that some folks won't believe that Jesus did all that they say he did in the Bible and I can understand that. But if you start with the assumption that there might be a God there really isn't anything about his life that we've been told that isn't possible without a huge stretch of logic. You might not think it is plausible, but assuming that God is a possibility then it isn't impossible. The young earth creationists are a different breed. 

    The sheer weight of scientific evidence is all a conspiracy to disprove God to them, never mind any logic to the contrary. Never mind that if any scientist wanted to make a name for himself by proving decisively that the theory of evolution or the big bang was wrong he would do so, because scientists don't have a whole lot going for them other than personal satisfaction and prestige. It's not like they get paid a ton. But no, it's all a conspiracy by the devils scientists to try and make everybody disbelieve the bible. Or they just aren't that smart. Never mind the fact that there are many ways to incontestibaly demonstrate that the earth and universe are older than the YEC say it is. Like how we can accurately measure the distance to stars that are many thousands of light years away. They could say that God created a mature earth and universe and the were merely designed to look like they were old and avoid all this trouble, but instead they've chosen to die on an utterly indefensible hill. It bottles the mind, and I'm rambling.

    They can claim whatever they like. However, any claim that is made without evidence will be dismissed without evidence. Until their is evidence to support such claims they will be dismissed as for the absolute bollocks they are.

    It's like the Borg on Star Trek - both singular and plural, no self awareness or independent thought, etc.  Just screams aggy to me.

    Also anyone ranking "the station" above Lubbock or anywhere near it for that matter can GTFO

    Their architecture is eerily similar as well...

     I’ve been to both places several times. I always had a much better time in Lubbock. There was no comparison. 

    No doubt, I was just calling out the clear reference to something else.
