  1. This in 200 steps down the line. The bill was purposefully incomplete and was never going to pass as written. But killing it now prevents a real single-payer bill to be created somewhere in those 200 steps.
  2. Single-payer already dead in CA. Announced.... Friday evening, lol
  3. ^^^^ "According to Politico, prosecutors might also be looking into allegations that Sen. Sanders' office inappropriately urged the bank to approve the loan. " Sounds like his wife ****ed up. Not much against Bernie himself besides the irony.
  4. FYI to you fantasy fans out there: A Wheel of Time show is in the works. ‘Wheel of Time’ TV Series Lands at Sony That dude's name is actually Larry Mondragon.... lol. And yes, this terrible Billy Zane pilot that aired at 1:30am does exist:
  5. Just noticed there's actually a physical struggle before officer Yanez starts shooting. His left arm is inside the car grabbing Castile. That could be favorable to the cop's testimony, IMO, if he was actually reaching for Castile's gun. Problem, is that bull**** interview he gave with BCA up there that no-where near says anything about reaching into Castile's car and grabbing him before opening fire. Particularly the section where the interviewer clarifies for Yanez, that he thought he had a gun in his hand. Maybe what really happened was Castile reacted badly to the cop grabbing him and at that point the cop already had a gun in his other hand. He's not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Even if he had a body cam on you'd have to be able to see Castile's right hand. I don't think most are blaming the jury or shouldn't anyway.
  6. Wow.... did that cop peddle out a giant pile of bull**** in that interview. Watch the dashcam and compare to the cop's statement: http://www.startribune.com/case-file-in-philando-castile-shooting-to-be-made-public-today/429659263/ I don't even know where to start....pushing that weed angle so hard. Apparently weed is some hardcore **** in Minnesota. Drug dealers just blasting you left and right trying to "rip" your stuff.
  7. You're probably right. If LeBron got hurt at anytime you could say the same thing. Was really enjoying that first GS-SA game though before Kawhi landed on Pachulia's foot.
  8. The Spurs were blowing GS out of the building until Kawhi went down and were 2-1 against them in the regular season.
  9. "Later that night, Treiman returned home at 8 p.m. after picking up his two-year-old and eleven-month-old children from a sitter. That's when an unidentified person in a pickup truck threw a full soda container at him. Treiman said he was hit in the back as he turned to shield the child he was holding. Treiman said the man who threw the can yelled "liberal scumbag" before driving away from the scene. While Treiman didn't report the incident to police, he said two Binghamton police detectives showed up at his home Wednesday morning. He said the investigators said they were told to check on the condition of him and his family." There's either more to the story or there's something wrong with this man's judgement.
  10. Yea. That's kind of like doing a compilation of holding in the NFL claiming Ryan Kerrigan doesn't get calls. The bolded statement would be true regardless of him getting calls fairly or not. Can't compare average FT attempts between someone and Russell Westbrook or Rich Harden.
  11. Good grief.... how old is Orrin Hatch? He has a girl sitting next to him that just tells him what to say?
  12. There's no way this can be true. How could a massive health care reform bill follow the Byrd rule? Its impossible.
  13. I'll say my opinion: I think Donald Trump talks a lot of bull**** and James Comey probably thinks he's a dingbat. According to those Abramoff tweets, it doesn't matter if Comey thought Trump was a dingbat or not. Particularly this one: "It does NOT matter if Comey says he didn't FEEL Trump was obstructing justice. It might've helped a prosecution, but it is unnecessary." IMHO it should make a difference whether Comey actually took Trump seriously or at least it should in the court of public opinion. That would help Trump against impeachment. In the court of law this will look really bad for Tump. Of course... 100% conjecture. No clue what Comey's going to say or what really happened.
  14. Btw, the CA state legislature passed single payer medicaid for all CA. Many hurdles before it hits the governors desk and will need voters approval to pass any new taxes to pay for it though. Not much national attention because itll be almost impossible to pass and isnt even paid for atm.
  15. Many people felt Donald Trump would fix the Republican party and probably a third of the country thinks he just did by winning the election. Had an opiphany of Trump actually draining the swamp; consisted of Rex Tillerson being his chief of staff. Someone i 100% from my couch would never ethically think should serve in government, but an example of the best America has to offer from the private sector. Administratively, Trump's seeming incompetence is the one thing that tells me the guy is a fraud. I was assuming he'd have a really strong CoS and an army of lawyers, handlers, admin people to at least keep everything on the same page. But it seems like a ****show in there right now.
  16. I didn't know anyone said it did. You all are arguing against a narrative that doesn't really apply to this specific case no matter how much you want it too. I still think its because the original story was the police shooting a stranded motorist who had his hands up. Like around the same time was the *SC shooting of the guy with the book/gun. The book/gun narrative ruined everyone's conceptions of the story and what happened. Terence Crutcher is a victim and can be victim shamed I suppose, but he's only a victim in the moment of the shooting. He was not harassed by police, he was not pulled over, not profiled for his race or appearance, not randomly checked, he is not a casualty of the War on Drugs, they didn't look up his history and harass him for an easy arrest, or harass him for some BS reason. He was on drugs, was hallucinating his car was going to explode like a psycho standing in the middle of the street blocking traffic. Doesn't mean he deserved to get shot and die, but it doesn't mean he himself has no accountability on what happened.
  17. I'm pretty sure, without looking, that this is not a disputed fact. And I'm assuming, unless I'm missing something, that yes, this guy had PCP in his system. Is there something I'm missing where it wasn't concluded that he had PCP in his system? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-tulsa-police-shooting-terence-crutcher-pcp-20161012-story.html What I was trying to explain to you, which maybe you're not getting, is that you can tell he is on PCP, based on his actions. That appears like a man on PCP to me so much as to I actually singled out PCP, a relatively uncommon, out-dated drug that I have very little experience dealing with based on a helicopter video. And I thought this was common knowledge at this point that he was on PCP, which is why I think its a little weird you're still going on about this planting of evidence. Unless I'm missing something about a faulty autopsy or something.
  18. In this case I think its unreasonable to claim they planted evidence. Even bringing that up tells me maybe you're too biased to be objective on this incident. e.g. Its ridiculous to claim they planted PCP on a guy who's acting like he's on PCP without anything to back it up. Now how do I know he is on PCP? Is that a fact? No, of course its not a fact based on my opinion of of a helicopter view. However, if I suspected that this guy was on something serious, based only on his actions before any information about PCP was released, then there's at least 1 thing that supports him being on PCP. And the cops actually finding PCP in his car. While this doesn't mean the shooting was justified in any way or really change what happened in that moment the officer pulled the trigger; it sure as hell is important to understanding what happened. Question, based on your opinion, does that look like a stalled motorist or some dude on PCP? Look at where he left his car. No one would EVER leave their car halfway blocking both lanes including oncoming traffic. Never. Even if your car exploded you'd try and get it to the shoulder, or at least only blocking one lane. Again, does that mean his car didn't stall or break down, or somehow he got stuck there? No of course not. But once again, in my life, when have I ever seen someone leave a car like that? Seemingly running in the middle of the road? That is behavoir exclusively for people very very ****faced drunk or on drugs.
  19. Agreed. The cop was charged with 1st degree manslaughter and this situation was more of a gross-negligence type thing; should have been a lesser charge or at least 2nd degree manslaughter. Its pretty clear that the officer panicked. You can hear her voice when she calls in the shots fired. That being said, I do not think this situation warranted a criminal charge against her specifically. I think the family has a strong civil case against the county/state/PD. Its also very clear, even when this story came out and it was phrased as a cop shooting a stalled motorist with his hands up; that this wasn't just someone with PCP in his system or someone who they found PCP in his car or on his body: This dude was tripping balls. Completely whacked out. I could tell that way before they even said anything about PCP.
  20. The device itself doesn't really do anything, it just runs built-in streaming apps. I'd stay away.
  21. Good to know. That was such a head scratcher last year when our only move was to sign.... Ian Mahinmi.... I wonder how much we'll need to rely on Mahimi next season.
  22. #1 priority is finding a backup PG. Or at least only thing we can realistically do besides re-sign Otto. Never replaced Sessions, but also never thought we'd be in a playoff run this season where a vet. point guard is so important. Burke was a bust and Jennings was a desperate move that obviously didn't work. That Mahinmi contract is looking worse and worse now with Gortat falling off.
  23. Fitting way to lose I suppose. Horford on some ugly ****. Not very confident on this last play.... Ok... I take that back. Wow. Amazing shot out of absolutely nothing!!!!!!
  24. Nice call. Everyone knew that one was going in. Beal answers, tough shot off the high glass.
