Whenever I play Pandemic, I hope the countries wait as long as possible before implementing travel embargoes.

Need some military grade weapons? The US federal government has your back. Oh wait ... you don't work for the government? Then fuck you. However, even if you work for the Department of Transportation, you, too, can get an automatic weapon.
And a spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Transportation says its seven M-14 rifles are never fired and used only as props during ceremonies.

Because the real guns are cheaper than non-firing replicas.

This is hilarious.

Biden says our buddies are supporting the psychos. [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... number-bul

A study of more than 1,700 shells fired by ISIS in the Kurdish regions of the two countries found that 20 per cent were manufactured in America.
...
Conflict Armament Research (CAR), which conducted the study, noted in its report: 'IS forces appear to have acquired a large part of their current arsenal from stocks seized from, or abandoned by, Iraqi defence and security forces.

HAHAHAHA.

Well.

He still legalized home brewing so I forgive him a lot.

The "most transparent administration in this country's history" probably helped cover up White House involvement in that Columbia prostitution scandal.

The sad part of this is that there's nothing new here. There were credible allegations back in '12, but since that was an election year and they didn't want to damage Obama and there wasn't this "secret service is imploding" meme, it didn't go anywhere.

Paul Krugman thinks Obama is one of the best presidents ever.

His logic is flawed.

Sure Obama got a lot of what HE wanted done, but it was at the expense of the American people. He and the Dems from his first term pushed through a lot of shit that will be an anchor around this country's neck for decades.

I am wondering....

If you had one candidate whose entire platform was, "I hate niggers," and the other candidate's entire platform was, "I hate crackers," and this is ALL either candidate ever said, who would win the election?

Obamacare website will not show the updated, higher costs until right after the 2015 elections.

Hilarious. Most times, the prez only has one lame duck period during his tenure.

Has there been a final word on the fuckup that says peeps on the federal exchange WILL NOT be getting subsidies? Has it not gone through the courts yet?

The entire law was sold to people based on those subsidies.

I challenge anyone to find a President since World War II to fuck over the american people to this extent.

I'd say Ford, Carter, and Nixon. And Dubyuh since I still have to take off my shoes at the airport. You won't know the extent of the fallout from Obamacare until a few years after.

The deficit spending for W's TSA is stupid, but Obamacare has shitloads of people scrambling to adjust their actual household budgets to account for the actual personal expense of it.

The TSA (and entire DHS) is provably stupid. Obamacare is currently only theoretically stupid. It shouldn't take too long to remedy that ... if the entirety of the law is ever put into effect.

I think we'll have some of that proof after the election. I'll bet the cost just about doubles. I think the long term effects of this will destroy us as the innovator in medicine.

Not a good argument as embryonic stem cell research hasn't produced much anywhere. Now the stem cells (I think they're marrow stem cells) that they have done research on have been productive. The problem with embryonic stem cell research is rejection. Even though they can grow anything from them (in theory), they are still the genetic matter of another person. You will still have rejection issues like you do with a liver or heart transplant.
