Random Politics & Religion #08

Strange, 7 years ago the liberals/democrats had a supermajority in Congress.

How is that again Bush's Republican's fault? Oh right, by allowing Obama to get elected....

I'll put it this way: At least the dems have a plan. What does Herr Drumpfler have, beyond an enraged legion of white supremacists and homophobic bigots?

Ansbach, Germany (CNN)An explosion in the southern German city of Ansbach was a suicide attack, according to the region's interior minister. The bomber died in the blast.
A device was exploded by a 27-year-old Syrian national outside a music festival. He had been denied entry into the event due to the lack of a ticket, Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said during a news conference early Monday.

Twelve people were injured, three seriously.
The man, who has not yet been named, stood around the festival entrance for a short period before he blew himself up. The music festival and surrounding area were evacuated.
Authorities said the bomber had entered Germany two years ago and had previously applied for asylum in Germany, but his application had been rejected. He remained in the country as it is German policy to not allow rejected applicants to return to war zones.
Herrmann said the attacker's backpack contained screws and nails, an apparent attempt to inflict further damage.
He was also known to police in Ansbach for previous offenses, including violations of "narcotics law," Herrmann said. He had also previously twice attempted suicide. However, the incident is being treated as a suicide bombing as opposed to a suicide attempt.
"Because how this backpack and the bomb were packed, especially with so many metal splinters, which could have killed and injured many more people, this act cannot be purely assessed as a suicide," Herrmann explained.

Ansbach is also a major U.S. military garrison town, with around 5,000 members of the military living there, along with civilians, contractors and retirees. There are three military installations in the Ansbach area, according to the garrison's website.
Officially this attack is not confirmed as terrorism, he said, but there are strong indications it may be.
Special Forces in Munich are on the scene investigating, police said.
Violence has struck Germany in several places recently.
On Sunday, a man killed a woman with a machete in Reutlingen. The 21-year-old Syrian asylum seeker came to Germany one year ago, according to a police statement, and he was known to police for property thefts and assault.
Police said the woman was 45 years old and from Poland.

False Choice

My point is that the DNC (not just Debbie) colluded to shut out Bernie from as far back as May 2015 and get their golden choice candidate in at all costs with no regard to impartiality. They categorized people into as pitiful stereotypes as they accuse their opponents of doing - see "taco bowls". *** disgusting, and couple with the fact that Hillary willfully hires on Debbie right after the scandal shows that she just doesn't give a ***and knows she is untouchable at this point. I just hope Julian has some real fire power to reveal to the public in the near future, because this is getting too outlandish to stomach.

(CNN)Two people are dead and at least 14 others injured after a shooting at a Fort Myers, Florida, nightclub, according to Captain Jim Mulligan of the Fort Myers Police.
The shooting took place in the parking lot of Club Blu Bar and Grill, according to CNN affiliate WINK.

Police didn't say how many shots were fired but at least 30 yellow evidence markers were placed placed around the front of establishment.
Injuries ranged from minor to life threatening. All victims were transported from the scene by Lee County Emergency Medical Services to area hospitals. Police are working to identify the deceased.
A Facebook flier advertised a "Swimsuit Glow Party" at the establishment Sunday night. The flier said that no identification would be required to enter, meaning the party was open to all ages.
The call alerting police to the shooting was received at 12.30 a.m.
Investigators and crime scene personnel are continuing to determine what occurred, along with possible motives for the incident.
Police are investigating two other related scenes, one on Ortiz Avenue, where a person of interest has been detained. The other scene is on Parkway Street.
Gunshots at the Parkway Street scene hit property hit and one person was grazed by a bullet, according to WINK.
An all-out search for people involved in the incident is underway, police said.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office stopped a vehicle that had a suspect in it, Mulligan added, but did not give any additional detail about the stop.
Developing story - more to come

Because IDs clearly tell you if someone is crazy or not

according to CNN affiliate WINK.

I'm sure you'll go Ha-ha Huffing post, butabout that supermajority

I'll put it this way: At least the dems have a plan. What does Herr Drumpfler have, beyond an enraged legion of white supremacists and homophobic bigots?

A vote for Johnson is a vote for the Trans Pacific Partnership free trade deal to allow multinational corporations break Sovereign nations laws.

Free trade deals have *** the United States work force for far too long we have heard the constant vacuum noise of our industries and manufacturing jobs leaving our nation's shores while our unemployment rates skyrocket.

In my instance, while I dislike the TPP in theory, it has both positives and negatives for me in my life, so it's really a wash, and other issues take precedent.

Bolded for what is really wrong with today's world.

Who gives a ***about the community at whole when all people really care about is the individual themselves?

Because IDs clearly tell you if someone is crazy or not

That's not just today. It's always been like that in America.

That's sort of the point, isn't it? If we were worried about society more than ourselves socialism wouldn't be such a hard sell. But we have a very individualistic approach to life. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's America. The "greater good" only counts of you're part of the group that benefits from that good.

Actually, capitalism is a proponent of the greater good of society, not socialism.

For instance. Fracking. In theory, I am for 100% banning it.

wow you guys don't have this?

Fracking has it's problems, but to ban it outright? I'm sorry, but I don't want to pay $4/gallon gas again. Or more.

It needs to be revamped, especially waste water disposal (to name 1 problem), but not banned outright.....

Kind of depends on what you consider the "greater good."

If it depends upon keeping a certain group of people below you to act in service to you, does it count?

Some say yes. Others disagree.
