Some day, the shoe will be on the other foot. And a filibuster-proof majority? With the degree of heterogeneity we see amongst the Dems? Hard to imagine the issue that would unite all sixty senators in Republican-style lockstep.
...at least politically, we are plagued by people who seem to experience and certainly disseminate religion in "in its stupidest and most literal-minded form."
...is that anyone would expect "Meet the Press," aired on a network owned by General Electric, to espouse, support or cause to be disseminated any point of view other than that those at the top should not be prosecuted.
Why does the DOJ need official permission to pursue criminality? They don’t need Obama’s "Okey-Dokey" to go after other kinds of crooks, be they white collar criminals, drug smugglers, spies, murderers, tax evaders, et al. So why this big kerfuffle about whether they should pursue those who torture in the name of the United States and the administration that enabled those perpetrators? If it's a crime, then it's a crime and they have tens of thousands of employees whose job it is to enforce the law. That’s ALL they need. What are they waiting for?
Someone? Help?
Is that, as a not-terribly well-read Boomer, I've known for decades that torture does not produce reliable information - and I know damn well that law enforcement has been aware of this longer than I have.
No, and there won't be until Obama actually starts implementng his plan. That's when they'll lay theirs out, and it will look like this: NO! NONONONO!!!
Like I said. Predictable.
If Obama walked on water folks here would complain that he didn't wash his feet first. Can't we agree that the release of these documents is a positive thing compared to where we've been as opposwdto just another reason to screech-to-impeach?
I don't think I can bear to listen. All it'll do is dismay and anger, and there's not a damn thing I can do about those idiots.
Once again, the Republicans, party of the rich and multi-homed, get Joe Sixpack militating for tax cuts that...guess what? Won't help Joe Sixpack one bit.
Something's still wrong in Kansas.
